Chapter 17
Tris POV
I jump on the floor as bullets start impaling the walls around us. The whole room is screaming, some out of terror, some out of pain. I see small abnegation boy fall to the floor, dead. I growl, I slip the gun out of my belt. I aim, and shoot a tall man in the back. BOOM! Headshot. The man falls to the floor. I smile to myself, now 9 to go. I hear three shots. I turn to see Tobias, Ana, and Percy, all shooting.
The bullets fly through the air, making contact with 3 of the men. All the men scream in pain, and fall to the ground.
6.
I hear the cry of a teacher, and a deep male voice. I raise my gun, and shoot a man near the front.
5.
I see two bodies collapse, holding hands. Screams are filling the room. I hear '911!' Being called randomly. The faint glow of phones are filling the room, as people call for help. I see Tobias send two shots in the direction of two men. They groan, and fall.
3.
I see the three men, all aiming at the three school sections. I catch people from all zones collapse, bullet wounds all over their bodies. My vision tints red. What kind of person would kill innocent children? "PRIORS! ATTACK!" I scream.
'Priors attack' is a term we made up, when we shoot targets, or in this case, people. Multiple times.
I send out a barrage of bullets, the stream hits all three men. They collapse, as the other two streams knock them to the floor. The room falls silent. Then erupts in to cheers, then to sobs, then to silence, then sobs again, all in a matter of seconds. I stand up, as do Percy, Ana, Tobias, and Tori. I survey the carnage. Chairs are ripped from bullets.
Blood is staining the ground. I see bodies of teachers and students littering the floor. I turn to Tobias. "We don't have time to take them to the hospital, we have to use the stage. Let's get everyone who was injured on stage. All four of us have practice treating wounds." Yeah, wounds that our fathers inflicted on us. The crowd remains still.
"BRING THEM UP HERE, UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO DIE!" I shout. The crowd bursts into conversations, as the uninjured hoist up students, and carry them up to the stage. Even with all the carnage, the sight is beautiful. The faction borders have blurred. Usually, Erudite hate Abnegation, and Abnegation secretly hate Amity, And the Amity hate Candor, who hate Dauntless, who hate Erudite. But now, the lines are nonexistent, and they have merged, to form a large group, that works together.
The students bring up kids who were injured. I see abnegation robes, blood stained. Candor uniforms, blood stained. Dauntless clothes, blood stained. Erudite vests, blood stained, and Amity dresses, blood stained. The sight is horrible. We need to get to work. "Tori, get the first aid kits!" I yell. Tori nods, and scurries of backstage. She quickly returns, holding a large white box, with a huge red plus on it. I reads 'FIRST AID' in big bold letters on the bottom.
Tobias, Percy and Ana run over, and grab some supplies.
We head over to the groups, and start treating each victim. Using the ointment, we cleaned the injuries, since bullets didn't actually enter them, they were mostly grazes, but the grazes did fatal damage. After they were cleaned, we wrapped the wound in gauze.
At some point, the paramedics came, as well as the police. The paramedics helping us treat the serious wounds, while the police transporting dead bodies. 27 people were killed. 5 teachers, 22 students. 7 from elementary, 8 from middle, and 7 from high.
{2 HOURS LATER}
All the injured were treated. But what really hurt, was the small preschoolers that will have scars now. Each victim made me angry, that Andrew would do this. They shot people from all schools. But the men had bad aim, so more people weren't killed. I remember Christina, whose head was grazed. She said it hurt, but was angrier about the loss of hair there.
Due to the shooting, school has been cancelled for a week. Wow, second day, and it is already closed down. I grab Tobias' hand, as we walk out of the Auditorium. We kept on being stopped, as do Percy and Ana, by people thanking us, you know for saving their lives. I peek back, and see some girls trying to kiss Percy, who is clearly uncomfortable. I pull Tobias to the scene. When he sees Percy squirming he gets angry. But I snap, when Ana, who tries to pull Percy away, gets punched in the jaw by an angry girl. I screech, while Tobias Roars. We pounce on the girls, and a few boys, who trying to get Ana. "NEVER MESS WITH MY SON!" I scream, "OR MY DAUGHTER!" Tobias yells.
I stand up, leaving a mob of kids running from us. I smirk, as Tobias pulls us towards the door. But we are stopped by Tori. "Oh yeah, Ten, thanks for saving us, you too Percy and Ana, also, here is my card," she hands us two cards. "The meeting is on Sunday, be there at 1 o' clock sharp! BAI!" She says, and runs out the door. I smile, as we, my family, walks out the door.
