Tris
"Hey can you hear me," I hear someone say. It sounds like a child, but I can't be sure. "Hello," the voice questions, "miss can you hear me?" Slowly I open my eyes to see a boy across the room. Groaning I try to move my arms, but something is pulled at my wrist. "What, what's happening," I ask trying to keep my eyes open, but I feel sluggish. I look at my wrist to see chains that lead to the wall. The boy stands up and walks over to me.
He stops ten feet in front of me which I thought was strange. Then I noticed he was chained to the wall by his ankle. My throat is incredibly dry, but I force the words out even though it hurts. "Where am I," I ask, "and where are the others? Was I brought here alone? Was anybody else with me?"
The boy sits down as he says, "You came in here alone and I didn't hear the guards talking about any new prisoner. And were in a holding cell somewhere far from the border. Oh and I'm Johan E. by the way. What's your name?" I looked over at Johan curisously. For some reason his eyes seemed very familiar. A deep dark shade of blue that is almost black looking.
"Tris and what does the E stand for," I asked and he shrugged, "I'm not entirely sure,, the E could stand for Edwards or Easten no it's... Eaton yeah that's it Eaton." "Eaton, wait that doesn't make any sense my boyfriends last name is Eaton," I say completely shocked. Could this be Tobias' brother? No he was an only child, but then who is this kid. Again Johan shrugged, "if it helps my moms name was Evelyn. We were faction less for awhile then one day I lost her or she lost me. After a lot of strange events I end up here."
I don't believe it. Tobias had a brother and he never knew. Not only did I have to get back to him, but I need to help Johan. "Okay how do we get out of here," I ask and he rubs the back if his neck nervously. The more I look at him I see the resemblance, he's just like a mini Tobias. "Well there's the door, but I've never been able to get to it with the chains. Then they brought you here unconcious," Johan explains, "also you have a cut on your forearm. They brought you here with it."
Slowly I look at my arm to see a line that's about two inches long down my arm and it's still bleeding. Disgusted I say, "do you know how I got this?" Johan nods, "on the way out they said that they got the divergent's blood. Also that later on they were going to take you back and get some DNA."
Before I could respond the doors opened. Two large men stood in the doorway looking at us. "He's in here," said one of them, but I don't know which one. There isn't much light in here. A moment later another man walks in between them and my eyes widen.
"Marcus," I gape, "what are you doing here?" He laughs at me, "hello Beatrice, I hope you like the cell Nita and I prepared for you." I should have known they would work together. Both were evil. However they had different goals. Something must have been offered to Marcus to be here.
"Why are you here? If you hurt Tobias," I say angrily through gritted teeth. In the dim light I can see the smirk on his face, "I have nothing to do with Tobias or Evelyn, but I have my reasons for being here. The first reason was to get you here from those friends of yours. Second I am here for whatever his name is."
Johan scuffed, "Johan and what do you want with me? It's been made clear by Nita that I am useless." The realization hits me hard. Marcus brought me here to get his son, but why was he interested in Johan? "What do you want with Johan," I ask a bit defensively. However I don't care. I have to do what it takes to get myself and Johan out of here. Marcus says nothing and nods his head towards Johan. The two men walk over to Johan and he tried to move back, but the chains were getting in the way. Before I knew it they pinned him down.
"Get off me," he yelled struggling agaisnt their hold. It was useless because they were twice his size. Struggling agaisnt the chains I said, "hey leave him alone! Let him go!" "It's pointless Beatrice give him the shot," Marcus says with a dead pan tone. I'm pulling agaisnt the chains so hard it hurts my wrist, but I have to keep trying. For Tobias and Johan. After a minute of struggling I hear Johan scream then fall unconscious. "No Johan," I call out, "what did you do to him?"
Marcus laughs, "I knocked him unconcious later on I will discuss with him what he wants to do. He has two choices I erase his memory or he follows me willingly." I scowl at him, "what use would Johan be to you? He's just a kid. Besides haven't you done enough damage agaisnt your other son. Despite everything you've done to him, your willing to do it over again." Marcus' expression is unreadable, but I like to think my words hurt him. After all they should hurt him. They should eat into him. Marcus takes a deep breath, "I plan to make this different Beatrice. For now I plan to use Johan for much more than a son."
His words make me want to gag, but I hold it back as one guard carries Johan to the door. "Sorry I cannot stay, but I have more important things to do," Marcus says as he turns to leave. However he stands in te door for a moment almost uncertain of what to do next. "What are you waiting for," I say angrily still pulling at my chains. Honestly I'm worried about what will happen to me next, but what can I do? The only thing I can do. Fight. "I was just enjoying this," Marcus says then Nita walks in. My blood runs cold as she walks in as Marcus shuts the door.
"How did you sleep Beatrice," she says in a voice that doesn't really sound human to be honest. However it could just be the uneasiness I feel. "What do you want with me," I shout, "you've kept me a prisoner here for three years! What else do you want? You have all this data what more do you want?" I'm on the verge of tears, but I can't show her weakness. I just can't do it. Nita walks to my right and hits a small button. The chains start pulling my arms back and up and I am forced to comply. Now I am on my feet with my arms up above my head.
A moment later and I rest my hands on my head. Nita smirks at me as she steps closer. "Stay away from me," I snap, but she contiued to advance toward me. Do I want to hurt her? Absolutely. Can I? No cannot. I can't see her that well in the darkness, but she's holding something. It only takes me a second to realize it's a knife. Before I know it I feel the blade slashes my right cheek just below my eye. It stings a lot and I manage to hold back a squeal, but I grimace.
"Don't worry Beatrice," she says cynically, "I won't hurt you, but we're going to have some fun." Forcing myself to stare at the floor panic fills me. I hear her chuckle. A moment later she whispers in my ear, "you know what game you're going to play?" My breath catches in my throat as I look at her through the dim light. Her twisted smile is enough for me, "you can't," I say hoarsely as fear takes over.
In her hand I see my ring. The one Tobias gave me. I bite my lip hard as she says, "don't worry we didn't hurt your little boyfriend." I growl under breath. She lifts my chin and I am forced to look into her eyes. "you won't get away with this," I say angry and fighting the tears that well up in my eyes.
Her smile remains twisted as she says in a malicious voice, "Lights out Tris." Two seconds later my world goes dark. A world I may never see them same again.
