Just realised that I now have 74 followers this is awesome, glad you like it. Shout out to libby001, my latest follower.
I don't know if I'm back at the start in the simulation or reality or both but what I do know is that I haven't reached the other side yet. I've got to keep moving, I can't just stay in this gassed up room. It'll kill me. I look at the door again, my beautiful exit, and decide to focus on it. I try to stand up but my vision starts to turn black.
Knowing that it will be easier on the floor, I lie back down and be vision becomes clear again. I crawl forward, digging my elbows to push myself forward.
The cannon detects my movement and the plastic boxes start flying again. I refuse too- I can't waste time looking at these boxes. I just got to focus on the door, that's all that matters.
I can hear Tobias shouting my name behind me.
"Don't leave me here."
"I'm not leaving you here Tobias, I'm saving you. I'm saving everyone" I shout while charging forward on the ground.
"We don't need help." Christina walks towards me, dressed in a slimming black dress.
Focus. Just got to focus.
Alaska voice comes from behind me. "Look at me, Tris. I'm fine.
I don't know if she's really there or not. Either way, I refuse to look behind me I can't go back to the start again. No, Tris. She can't be there. She's dying remember? That's why I'm doing this.
"Beatrice, you can't waste your life like this." My mother's voices echoes around the room.
"Mom?" I get on my knees and search the room with my eyes.
"Mom! Where are you?" I turn my head frantically, causing more boxes to explode.
"You can go back, Tris. I wouldn't love you any less." My mom's voice echoes again.
My head feels like it's going to explode.
"Come home, Tris. We can be a family again."
She sound so convincing, I have to force myself not to go with her. My heart aches. I miss her so much.
"No, we can't because you're dead. You're dead." My voice cracks.
I'm only a few meters away from the door. I can do this.
"Come back to bed, Tris." Tobias shouts from the bed that's just appeared.
"No."
"I love you, Tris. Come back to bed." He says more demanding this time.
"I can't."
Tobias disappears and Christina walks towards me.
"Tris! Where are you going? We've got a party to go to." Christina exclaims.
"I will be there in a minute, Christina. Just let me do this first." I lie.
"Tris, you have to go. Tobi—Four's going to propose."
He's what? Going to propose… Why would he… Tris, don't get sucked in. It's not real, none of this is.
"He can't be." I say simply.
"And why not? Don't even start with the whole 'he's older than me and I'm not hot' bullsh*t again."
"He has been trapped in a room for almost a month now. Where would he find a ring?"
I switch back to reality for a second, I'm throwing up some blood and my hands are shaking violently.
Christina lip wobbles.
"W-what do you mean?"
I try to snap out of the simulation but I'm trapped in it. I can't cope in reality, my body's hardly functioning so my mind decided to trapped me in here. I've just got to manipulate it. I'm divergent, I can do can't be a room without an exit.
I stand up and focus really hard at the same spot in the wall, two meters in front of me. I close my eyes and concentrate on the door, remembering the exact colour and shape of the door I've been trying to get to this entire time. I open my eyes and its there, right in front of me. Unfortunately, Tobias is there too and he's blocking the way out (the door to the cure).
"I have to leave, Tobias."
He unfolds his arms and steps forward a little. His shoulders remain tense and his blue eyes are pleading.
"You can stay here, Tris. If you leave, you'll die and we might never get to see each other again. Just stay in this fantasy. With me." He lifts up my chin and I can feel the warmth radiate into my body.
This could be the last time I see him, the last time I see another person. There's nothing I want more than to stay here with him but I can't let myself do it. I have to save my friends.
"It's not a fantasy, it's a simulation." I say, angrily.
"We can call it whatever ever you want and we can do whatever we want in here." Tobias smirks. He leans in to hug me and I take a step back, he looks hurt.
"But you're not here. You are locked in a room being tortured." I yell and my eyes start watering. No. I can't cry. If I start to cry I will break.
"Why don't you love me, Tris?" He start crying.
I can feel a gun in my hand.
"I do love you, that's why I have to do this."
I point the gun at him and shoot him the stomach.
"I love you." I whisper.
He shouts my name again, in agony, but it's too late. I place my hand on the handle of the door.
I open the door and fall to the ground. The door automatically closes behind me and the fans decontaminate the poisonous gas in the air. My eyes sting and my left leg has got limp.
"I'm surprised you made it this far." A sour condescending voice emits from the person who is towering over me.
