Chapter 10- Home
The RV is really cramped, and there is never enough space for all of us, but we have to people awake to drive at all times, and after some rest, two more people go up and the drivers sleep in the beds that the drivers occupied. The RV's main area is always cramped, and there is constant squabbling over space. They're always resolved quickly, but with ten people in the RV, no one gets a moment of peace, and everyone longs for space.
I sit in the passenger seat, fidgeting, while Marlene drives. Suddenly, there is a familiar skyline up ahead.
"We're home." I breathe, hardly daring to believe it. "We're home!" I yell.
Everyone cheers, until we spot the Bureau.
"They'll wait there…"
"We cannot let them take us!"
"This isn't the best place…."
A flashback.
Pain. Gunshots. Explosions. Uriah is crushed by a wall, and nobody is safe. Problems. Demented leaders. Memory Serum. I'm drowning in memories. I start to hyperventilate.
"Tris! You ok?"
"Thanks for snapping me out of that, Marlene."
"No problem, Tris."
"We need guns!"
"We need knives!"
"We need battle plans!"
This place causes many nightmares, and this is in five minutes.
We step out into cool night time air, taking collective breaths. It's peaceful here. Fireflies swirl around the short grass, and crickets chirp.
But looks can deceive. David steps out, a triumphant grin on his face, looking like Uriah with a slice of Dauntless Cake. He is flanked by eight guards, armed so that they look almost like a mobile weapon shop.
The guards leer at us.
"Don't move. Hello, Tris." He says smoothly, hoping this will incite nightmares.
My breath comes in gasps now. He had the gall to use that.
"Shut up. You took everything from me, and now that we are starting to rebuild, you decide to show up with some muscle and try to take everything away again."
"It's for a better- "
"No. It is not."
He changes tone.
"Feisty. But that just means more beltings. You can either surrender now, or I can take everyone you love, including your precious boyfriend, and I torture them, slowly and painfully."
"What do you think my answer is?"
"Have it your way."
Sorry for being gone! I have no excuse except for laziness :I but it's here now!
