(Continuation of 15, then goes into 16)
It seemed like days before Peter backed away and kicked me towards the Chasm. "How're you feeling now, Trissy?" He taunted. "I bet you're wishing you never left me."
I groaned. "Peter..."
He fell on top of me, and a thought fluttered through my head that maybe he had been punched. But I was proven wrong when he dragged a dagger across my stomach.
"Be in pain, b****." He growled and kicked me over the edge of the chasm.
(Chapter 16)
I had just enough sense to grab a sharp rock and slow my fall against the wall.
It seemed like slow motion. The water got closer and closer, until my feet went under. The cold water sent a shock through my body, causing me to let go of the wall, and I sank into the waters.
I gt tangled up into seaweed, and the current caught a hold of me. I screamed when my head bobbed above and under the water. Finally I caught a hold of the wall, and just in the nick of time, because the water was causing a whirlpool and I would have sunk into who-knows-what if I didn't catch the wall.
I got another sharp stone and made my way up the wall. I was almost back to the top before I slipped and would have fallen if a hand didn't catch my wrist and pull me over. I sat up, coughing up water, as Tobias's hand rubbed my bare back.
Finally, he seemed aware that I was unclothed, and he scrambled back, embarrassed. However, at that point, I didn't care. I only wanted sleep and a relief from the pain.
"Tris." He finally said. "What - what happened?"
I sobbed out my story: how Peter got me and used me for his pleasure before dumping me over into the chasm. Tobias nodded along.
"When I heard you screaming I came as fast as I could." He explained. "Your - um - clothes are in tatters - you probably want to wear my shirt." He took off his shirt and handed it to me. I silently put it on and he led me to his dorm.
"Look... Tris... I'm going to have to clean you wounds..." He went bright red while saying this, and I felt a sudden rush of affection for him. This was my Tobias. My boyfriend. Mine.
"Oh." I said, suddenly understanding what he was saying. "You need - "
"Yeah." He said, going even more red. "I'm as embarrassed as you are..."
"You're my boyfriend." I reassured him. "Go right ahead." I took off his shirt.
He cleaned my wounds, all of then, even the ones on my back and legs. I felt so loved, even though it was a very awkward situation. Finally, he announced he was done.
"You can sleep here in my bed if you want." He offered. "I'll sleep on the floor."
I plopped on his bed as an answer. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was sound asleep.
For breakfast, Tobias wouldn't let go of my elbow. He had made a sling for my arm out of a pillowcase and a cast for my wrist out of an old t-shirt of his, and my torso was covered in bandages under my sweatshirt.
"So... what's up?" Uriah finally asked, breaking the silence.
"Last night, Peter - attacked - Tris and when he was done, he threw her in the chasm." Tobias said quietly.
Bianca left the table and hit Peter upside the head. When he stood up, surprised, she punched him in the groin and hit his head with the pancake iron. Half-made pancake spilled all over his head and his hair was burned. He crumpled to the floor. Bianca put the pancake maker back on the shelf, apologized o the person who was making the pancake, and then sat back down at the table.
"Anyway." Tobias continued, "I rescued Tris and cleaned her wounds and she slept on m bed last night. this morning she went back to her dorm, I helped her put her sweatshirt on and I made her a cast and sling, and then we came here."
"So what are we supposed to do now?" Zeke asked.
"Dude." The normal calm Marlene stared at him. "This means war."
So, people. Story time!
Whenever I'm in a down, and/or violent, and/or weird mood, I write. So, that pretty much covers any "weird" chapters I ever write. R&R, F&F!
