Everything was a blur. I woke up in the hospital, blinking the blackness away from my vision, but I was only awake a few minutes before it overtook me again. The next time I woke up, I heard someone mutter something about how long I'd been out, and that it was worrying them, then I was back under. The final time I woke up, someone was with me that wasn't a doctor. I heard them say "I love you, please wake up." and fell asleep for the final time. The next time I woke up, I didn't fall asleep again. The pain made sure of that. God, it was everywhere. My head, my abdomen, my lungs... everything hurt. It was like fire, wait... Wait, no, I know this feeling... "Fire..." I managed to mumble. The figure that I could hardly make out leaned closer. "What?" "Fire..." I whispered again. "It feels... like.. fire..." I coughed, and the pain made me cry out, but hey, I sat up to. Water was suddenly pouring down my throat, and it was heaven. I got as much down as I could, but the fire was still there. "Eric... where's Eric?" The doctor's tried to lay me down again. "Where is he?!" I demanded. They were strapping me down now. I kept screaming until I heard someone running down the hall. My hero. Eric stopped at my side. "You're awake!"
"I need my bag." I croaked. Eric looked about to question me, but the look I gave him stopped his accusation in its tracks. He grabbed my bag and handed it to me, but I shook my head. "The blue one.." I whispered. He looked through it and held up a blue one, and I nodded, so he loaded up a syringe, and before the doctor could notice, into my neck it went. I screamed, but I was ready for it. The searing pain. 10... 9... 8... I counted down in my head, at 0, the pain stopped. My torture had paid off. The doctors freaked out, but once it stopped, I was ready to go, which freaked them out even more. I was out of bed, clear headed. "What happened?" I asked Eric as I grabbed my clothes and began dressing. Dressing in front of him wasn't new, we had stayed in a pretty cramped space in that house. "Did I save her?" he nodded. "You killed David just before he could shoot Tris. I'm sure your brother will thank you." I cringed "Please don't call him that."
The doctors tried to get me to stay, but I stood and left with Eric anyway, going to find Tris and Four. Four stood up and went to hug me. "No, thanks." I said, holding up my hand to him. "I assume the compounds memories have been wiped?" the group nodded. "Good. Now, I suggest we go lead our own lives, without factions." I went to turn away, and Eric stopped me. "Without them? Actually?" I nodded. "Hey, you wanted them gone. Didn't you?" "But what about Dauntless? Couldn't we remake it? With better rules, better leaders, and have them protect the people?" Four asked. Eric, surprisingly, agreed. "Yea, we do need some form of protection." "That's up to you all. I'm going to find my own life." And I left the room. I didn't make it very far, however, because once again, Eric stopped me. "Faith... please don't leave... We... I... need you you...". I couldn't help but give him a strange look. "What do you mean? You're fine on your-" I was interrupted by his kiss.
What do you all think? R&R! I need to know if I should keep going or not! I have a whole future thing planned, and an alternate ending, but I could also just leave it here! Let me know before next week! -Admin
