*I suck. This chapter is short. Next will be from Tris POV if that means anything. Have hope. Don't kill me.*

Chapter 25

Tobias POV

Tobias held Tris close to his chest and rocked her. She was crying so hard that she could barely breathe. It broke his heart. He would never forgive himself for trying to murder, whether it was under the influence of a serum or not.

His hand was wrapped around her shoulder, but it felt sticky. Tobias pulled his hand away and saw it was coated in blood. She had been shot. Tobias refrained from panicking, and held in his gasp of horror. He couldn't keep her safe. He had inflicted pain on her.

"Tris," Tobias said, pulling away. He saw blood coating her shirt around her abdomen. "Were you shot?"

She was still crying but nodded. "P-Peter shot me, and I th-think I opened my stitches from my other bullet wound…"

Tobias shuddered, her jaw was already swelling, and her nose was bleeding as well. He needed to get her to a doctor and fast. "Bee, I need to get you to a doctor, come on, I need you to try and stand—"

Tris shook her head. "The simulation…we need to turn it off first."

Tobias nodded. "Okay, just stay here, and I'll go turn it off. His eyes caught sight of Peter, Caleb, and his father being surrounded by Dauntless soldiers, he could hear Tris' labored breathing, speed was imperative. Tobias evaluated the screen and quickly began pounding on the keys. He had to turn it off, and then take the program and destroy it.

"Tobias…" Tris rasped.

"I know, Bee." He said frantically, his fingers flying over the keys at lightning speed. His eyes dashed to the screen. Caleb was standing and holding a gun to protect himself from the soldiers. Tobias was so close. "Come on, come on…"

A few more taps on the keyboard and… "Done."

Tobias turned around, computer program in hand and then proceeded to nearly drop it. Jeanine had Tris by the neck and held a gun to her head.

"Four," She said menacingly. "Put the program back in."

Tobias evaluated the situation. His knife was sitting on the desk, and his gun was currently in Jeanine's hand. She was shielding her torso with Tris' body, who looked ready to pass out any second.

"Or what?" Tobias said slowly. Tris was staring at him. She mouthed, 'Just let her kill me.' Like hell he'd let her do that. He couldn't lose Tris when he had just gotten her back.

Jeanine smiled a sickly sweet smile and cocked the gun. "Or Six here…has her brain splattered all over the control room."

Tobias fought to keep his breathing under control. And nodded. Tris was shaking her head violently, she wanted Tobias just let Jeanine shoot her. He'd have to have a talk with her about this later.

"Trust me." Tobias said. Tris smiled sadly and nodded. "I love you, Six."

She swallowed hard. "I love you, Four."

Tobias turned around and made it look like he was typing. He took a glance over his shoulder and then went back to the computer. Then, faster than Jeanine could blink, Tobias grabbed the knife and sent it flying through the air. Jeanine screamed, and Tris went stone still.

Tobias ran over to Tris and pulled her body over to him. Then he moved to Jeanine who was writhing on the floor with a knife in her eye. She'd never be able to see again. He grabbed a pair of zip ties sitting on another desk and hooked Jeanine to the wall. Tobias did a quick check to make sure she wouldn't be able to get away, and then slowly, so slowly that she screamed louder if even possible, he pulled the knife out and wiped it on his shirt. Tobias shoved in back in his boot, then went back to Tris.

"Tris," He whispered, pulling her body into his arms.

She groaned, and tucked herself into his body, her eyes falling closed. "T-Tobias…"

Tobias tried not to panic as she went unconscious. He ran for the elevator, and hit the floor that would take him to the Pit, where Caleb was waiting. When they got upstairs, there were soldiers screaming at each other and fighting, some curled up on the floor sobbing. Tobias was too panicked to care about their inner turmoil.

"SHUT UP!" Tobias shouted, everyone going quiet, seeing him holding Tris in his arms, passed out. "I know at least one of you knows how to do basic first aid, am I right?"

Everyone was quiet, and Caleb was shaking.

"WHO KNOWS FIRST AID?" Tobias bellowed.

The soldiers flinched, and slowly a woman stood. "I, I'm a doctor here, I can—"

"Then let's stop standing around and get Tris to a hospital so you can fix her!" Tobias snapped, already moving in the direction of the Dauntless Medical Aid center.

It was like everyone had been snapped into action. He heard a slew of footsteps behind him, and the woman came jogging up next to Tobias.

"Injuries?" She asked.

"Two gunshot wounds. One to the shoulder, one to the abdomen, and she got into a fist fight. Her face and body took the worst of it."

The woman nodded, and when they reached the hospital, she told Tobias to set her on a gurney in an operating room.

"I'll put out a call for medical assistance, but I'll do everything I can until more help shows up. It's going to be a mad house out there soon. What…what happened to us?"

Tobias was dead serious, staring at Tris' still body on the gurney. "You were under a serum. But right now that isn't what matters. She is. She saved you all."

The woman nodded and told Tobias to leave. Now was when the waiting began.
