I don't want to die.
The speaker makes no more announcements. Gas slowly seeps in from every corner, forcing me to inhale its poison. It's dark green. I look over to Tobias' tank and see that it is clear, not even a smidge of green squirting out from the corners. Chloe only wants to kill me, she wants him to be forced to watch it too.
He punches the glass with his fists but it doesn't budge. I kick it again and again but it doesn't make a dent. Red spots appear on my bear arms and hands; quickly forming into bleeding, raw blisters. They multiply every second and cover my body. I try to ignore it by hitting the glass repeatedly. I can't forget about. My thick blood stains the glass and drips down in rosy lines. The sight of it makes me nauseous but I carry on.
"Tris, Stop!" Tobias shouts.
My vision is cloudy but I can still see. The glass wall is mainly splattered with my blood. I have lost so much blood, too much. I fall onto the tiled floor and he kneels in front on me. Stupidly, I move my arms to touch his face, only to hit the glass.
"It'll be alright. I will get you out." He says.
He gets up to start thumping the glass again. There's no point it won't crack and even if it did, it would me too late.
"Tobias, can you just stay here with me? I could use the company." I try to sound calm but I'm not. I'm going to die soon.
He looks at the glass pleadingly, he is desperate to save me but he knows it's a long shot.
"Of course."
He places his palm on the glass and I fit mine on top of his.
"Tell me about yourself." I ask.
"I used to be in abnegation, I moved to dauntless. I work on the computers when there isn't initiates to train. I'm good with a gun but I only use it when I have too. And I fell in love with you the first time we met."
He carries on describing himself, I find his voice soothing.
My throat tightens and it's harder to breathe. My vision turns black. I can feel my hand slipping from the glass. It drops on to the floor.
"Tris. You have to fight it." He shouts.
I am trying to fight it. I can't. I cough and splutter to clear my lugs of gas but there is too much gas.
For a moment I think he's left, that they let him leave the cell. I hear feet scraping across Tobias' side of the room. Someone hits the ground with a terrified scream. A girls high-pitched scream. I hear the pounding of several limbs whacking the glass.
"Hold on, Tris!" Tobias cries.
The gas is still here, it could hurt them. They could die.
"I don't want you to get hurt." I croak.
Seconds after, I can hear the glass shatter. It cuts my arms, they are as sharp as daggers.
"Tris, wake up!" Christina shouts.
I can't move or speak back.
"Is she dead?" Tom asks.
Not yet. They check my pulse and say that it's faint, that I have to go to hospital immediately.
"We have to get out of here. I'm getting blisters." Dale says.
"I'll carry her." Tobias says.
He lifts me up and starts running. We get into a car and someone injects me with something.
After a while my eyes work again and I can breathe a little better. I still cough a lot but it's an improvement. I am sat next to Tobias, wrapped up in a white blanket which slowly turns red.
I look around the car. The back window is glassless and there is no seatbelts.
"I've been in this car before." I mumble.
"She's awake!" Christina shrieks.
"We went in this car before. I drove you home when you hurt your leg. Do you remember?" Tobias says.
I remember me lying down in the passenger seat talking to someone. It must've been him, I can remember his blue eyes.
"Kind of, yeah."
"We need to stop and put some bandages on Tris." Tobias says.
"Okay."
Christina stops the car and unlocks the boot. Tobias picks me up and lies me on the floor in the blanket. They all stand up around me. Their arms and faces have several blisters, none of them look bothered about it. My arms and bits of my face are covered with the same red spots every one of them oozing with my blood. I look hideous yet nobody really cares. Especially not Tobias. He spreads ointment on my limbs and tells me it's for burns but it's basically the same thing. He wraps my arms up with bandages.
"I can't wrap your face up but it's not too bad. We can leave it for now." Tobias smiles.
"Have you got any more bandages?" I ask.
She throws me a pack of them and I give one to all of us: Zeke, Shauna, Christina, Zoe, Tom, Dale, Colin and Tobias. They say that they will be fine without it but I don't believe it, we don't know how bad these things are and I don't want it to become any worse.
I grab Tobias' pack and open it for him. I look at my hands, the bandage covers most of it – up until my split knuckles. He has a matching set from hitting the glass.
"I can do it." He says.
"It's only fair, you did mine."
I wrap it around his arm but there is too much fabric left over to just tuck in.
"Somebody throw me a knife?" I ask. Everyone is busy so Tobias get up and throws one to me. It lands the end sticking in the ground, half a meter away from my hand.
A memory comes back. He teased me in front of the other initiates, threw knifes around my body.
"You threw knifes at me before, didn't you?"
"You remember something!" He says relieved.
"Why did you throw knifes at me?" I ask.
"I was made too by Eric, I wasn't going to hurt you, I swear."
"I believe you." He wouldn't hurt me, you don't hurt the ones you love.
I finish wrapping both of his arms, cutting off the excess fabric. We climb back into the car.
"Tobias. I've been meaning to ask, why did you leave that note and run away?" Christina questions from the driver's seat.
I know the note, it's engraved into my mind. I remember reading it again and again.
"I don't know how I wrote that note, it was like I was programmed to do it but somehow it managed to alter it. After that Chloe and Curt locked me in a cell. Curt and I had regular fights when I tried to escape but every time they caught me and injected me with something. She forced me to have dinner with her sometimes and pretended that we were going out. Chloe was so obsessed with me, it was creepy. I hated it."
Zeke and Shauna burst out laughing, Tobias shoots him a death glare and they shut up.
"He was kidnapped and you find that funny?" I say angrily.
"Sorry." Shauna mutters.
They carry on talking as normal.
"Tris. You need to know something. You probably don't remember me being there but you know that all the Erudite evacuated the buildings?"
I nod.
"Curt, Chloe and all the others except for these four (Zoe, Tom, Colin and Dale) teamed up with the Fringe people and gassed out the Erudite building. Not a lot died, just the people in the main office. About seven of them. A lot were injured but they are recovering fast. They made it stronger and that's what Chloe tried to kill you with. It's not just Chicago that's been gassed, most of the experiment have been targeted. The Dauntless are trying to capture them now and stopping them before they can make any more damage."
I hope it makes sense :) What do you want to happen next? Should they join in the fight and get the fringe people? Do Tobias and Tris go somewhere else? Should I just do a time skip?
