AN: Just wrote an extra long chapter just for you guys. Thank you for following the story. Extra special thank you to .503 and everyone else who leaves awesome reviews:)
Evelyn is shouting for guards to send us to her office while Tobias and the others run, through the door towards the hospital, with Gemma in his arms. I follow behind them. As far as I can tell, the guards have refused to move and follow her orders. Most of the other people in the room have deserted it now. I hear footsteps behind me and someone yanks my arm. I look back to find that it is Evelyn. She takes a gun out from back pocket and aims it at me. I have the gun that Tobias gave me earlier but I won't touch it, until the right moment. The best thing right now is to show that she can trust me.
Tobias, who must have noticed the commotion, turns around and stops running. He doesn't have time to waist, Gemma's dying. "Go!"
He places his fist to his heart and starts sprinting again. I turn back around to face her.
"Guards, a little privacy please?" She shouts.
I almost laugh, it will be easy shooting her now there isn't several people armed in the room. She made a big mistake. We wait for them to leave in silence, once they've gone, I start talking.
"What have I done?" I ask calmly.
"Some people are starting to think you might be a spy and therefore you cannot be trusted. Going on this trip tonight wasn't a smart move. I wouldn't be a good leader if I didn't listen to them, would I?"
"Do you believe them?"
"No, of course not. I'm not stupid, you are loyal to your cause. With you gone, there will be no doubt who is in charge here." Her tone is full of spite.
She just wants to kill me. I am a threat to her and her power. I have bonded with the Erudites, trained them all and most of the Dauntless prefer me more than her. She's worried I will start an uprising against her, that's why she put me back to training to show everyone how weak I am. Her plan failed.
"Everybody knows you and Johanna are the ones in charge."
"Johanna's dead." She says smugly.
Evelyn killed Johanna. Johanna was nice and kind, she reminded me of my own mother. All she ever wanted to do was have peace. She murdered her and she's happy about it. Rage fills my veins. I punch her in the jaw while the other hand reaches for my gun. She fires her gun and the bullet flies past me.
I aim the gun at her heart. Another bullet fires and skims my arm, ripping a hole in my black jumper. Just before I shoot, lower my gun. The bullet lands in her stomach. She clutches her wound as she falls to the floor and I kick the gun out of her hand.
"Tris!" Christina shouts.
I lift my head up and she looks at me horrified. Colin is stood next to her with the same expression.
"I had too. She was trying to kill me." I plead.
I rip off my jumper and push it down on her stomach. She's too quiet, she must be unconscious.
"Help me!" I scream.
They just walk away without a responding. I can hear Christina sobbing as she leaves the room. I tie the blood-stained jumper around her waist and pick her up. I race to the hospital, knowing that the clock is ticking. I don't want her to die. My legs start to burn and I find it hard to breathe but I still carry on. My head hurts. I rush through the door.
"Can somebody help me?" I yell.
Evelyn gets ripped out of my arms and placed onto the hospital bed. Doctors swarm around her and they get the equipment ready for immediate surgery. Tobias walks out from one of the rooms, she looks happy that I'm here until he sees the blood smothering my clothes and dripping from my hands. He looks over at Evelyn, his mother.
"Tris. This can't be happening. You tried to kill her? What happened Tris?"
My head really hurts now, I can barely cope with the pain.
"I can't do this right now." I say.
I turn around to see a few guards waiting for me.
"Tobias, you are in charge now. What do you want to do with her?"
He probably hates me right now, I don't know what to expect.
"Nothing just get her out of here!" He shouts.
I try to look at his face again but he turns away and stares at his mother.
They walk me out of the hospital and to his apartment. "He's just angry. He'll get over it." A women says.
I just walk in to the room and close the door behind me. Alaska's waiting for me on the edge of the bed.
"Make it stop." I say weakly.
"I wish I could." She replies sadly.
The room turns into the hospital. I'm imagining it, I know I am but I can't stop it from happening.
Christina and Tobias walk in with guns in their hands. "Hey Tris. I was thinking, you know since you almost killed my mother, I think you should let us kill you. It's only fair, be selfless Tris. Let us kill you."
"I don't fancy using a gun anymore. I feel like that's more Tris' style. Let me think of something else." She pauses for a minute and then says, "Drowning. That was one of your fears right, feeling like you are out of control."
"That's a good enough way to die right?" Tobias asks me.
"A murder for a murder, do you think that's going to make everything better?" I ignore him.
"I want you to die, who cares if it makes the world a better place?" Christina says angrily.
Then I'm in a box, filling with water. It rises quickly. It's below my head now, I take a deep breath. Instead of drowning, I'm back in the room that I shot Evelyn and she is stood waiting for me.
"Why don't you shoot me again? We both know you want to. Come on Tris, shoot!"
"I was defending myself. You tried to shoot me too! It's not my fault." I beg.
"Not your fault?" She laughs.
"Get out of my head!" I scream.
I feel cold and a spray of water splashes on my feet. I can hear the rush of water. A piece of metal is in my hand. I snap back to reality.
"Don't do this Tris." Tobias is shaking and tears fall from his face.
"Don't be a coward, Tris." Alaska shouts.
It takes me a moment to realise, there's a gun in my hand. I'm aiming it at all of my friends well except Christina and Colin who lingers by the doorframe. I'm right of the edge of the platform, the only thing keeping me from falling into the chasm. I must've have done this myself while I was in my own simulation. Do I really want to kill myself? It would be easier for me but who's going to look after Alaska. I can't do this to Tobias, he might hate me but he doesn't want me to die.
I step away from the edge and give Alaska the gun.
