A/N: Hey readers I'm sorry I haven't posted in the past few days, I've just had a lot of stuff to do. I am truly sorry to say I won't be able to post for a while. Since I was added to a class late I have to do all the summer work in two weeks. I will try to post when I can, but I don't know when I will be able to. I'm terribly sorry about this guys, but I have to get the work done or else I can't take the class. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter and hopefully the next one will come soon.
Tobias
I woke up in a white room on a regular bed. My head his throbbing as I sit up, but I choose to ignore the pain. After a moment I remember the events. Finding Zeke, Will being alive, Christian goin with him and Tris... That makes my chest ache. The way she looked at me when called to her was awful. Although she was far away I could see the look in her eyes.
It was as though I was a complete stranger to her. As if she had never met me before in her life. I set my bare feet on the cold tile floor and shiver. It takes me a moment to realize I'm wearing all white clothing. A white fitted shirt and long white pants. "How did I get into these," I ask myself as I try to stand, but dizziness over comes me. Slowly I sit back down and try to see straight. I have to get out of here. I need to find Tris, Zeke and Marlene. Christina can stay if she wants to, but the other three are coming with me.
Hesitantly I stand up and walk over to the door. I expect it to be locked, but it wasn't. This has to be some kind of test. The door opens out to reveal a completely white hallway. It makes me feel like I'm in a hospital. I know I'm not, but still it feels that way. No one is around not on either side of the hallway. Maybe this could be my chance to escape. All I have to do is lie low and make sure no one sees me. Quickly I turn to my left and head down the hallway. Before I can make it to the turn I hear someone call, "Hey."
In ordinary circumstances I would run, but that voice freezes me. I look over my shoulder slightly to see none other than Tris. With quick footsteps she walks over to me as she says, "I was just coming to get you." I face her slowly and stare into her eyes hoping to see her. This is not Tris. Her eyes are not have the same insistence she had. "You don't remember me do you," I say softly hoping maybe this is a trick. Hoping maybe she will say yes and I can kiss her. Tris shakes her head, "I don't, wait you were the boy who called me Tris a few days ago." "Days ago," I ask confused and she nods with a light smile.
Whatever they've done to her is doing a great job. Tris wouldn't act this way. "Yeah we brought you and your friend Zeke here four days ago, oh sorry do you want to see him," Tris asks with a light smile on her face. "What have they... Who are you," I ask although I want to scream for her to remember me, but she won't. Maybe they gave her the memory serum. "Oh where are my manners, I'm Rose by the way what's your name," Rose says kindly as she extends her hand to me. I don't take it. I can't take it. "Four," I say and a look of recognition crosses her face. Maybe they didn't take all her memories.
"That's a neat name," Rose says distantly, but a little sad to, "well Four let's get going." I've decided the girl before me is not Tris. This girl is Rose, but deep down Tris is in her. I just need a way to bring her back. Rose grabs my wrist and pulls me down a series of hallways. After a few minutes of walking we arrive at glass walked cafeteria. There are a lot of people eating down there, but it doesn't take me long to find Zeke in the crowds. Even with all the white clothes people I find him. It just accord to me that Rose isn't wearing white. She's wearing blue jeans, grey converse and a black t-shirt.
"Rose," calls someone from behind. We turn around to see Nita walking this way with plastered grin. I want to charge at her, but Rose beats me to it. However instead of attacking her Rose... hugs her like a friend. Nita hugs her back as she says, "I see our friend had woken up." Rose looks at me as she says, "yeah Four did. Have you seen Johan or Marcus?" The mention of Marcus makes my blood boil. Nita gives me a suttle smirk, but not that Rose could see. Or at least I don't think she saw it. "They were actually looking for you, Marcus and Johan are waiting for you in lobby," Nita says. I so badly want to attack her, but not now. In plain sight I can see the gaurds all around.
They are wearing cream clothes. You can tell they're gaurds because of the white guns that are hidden in plain sight, but I see them. Rose smiles, "okay I gotta go, bye Four I'll see you around." Rose takes off down the hallway and my heart breaks. Glaring at Nita say, "what have you done to her?" Nita laughs a little to cynical for my liking. "Something everyone is after, a new start," Nita says distantly, "with the memory serum and divergent genetic code and blood samples were are able to manipulate memories. The memory serum is going to be used for everyone, to give everyone another chance. Tris has a fresh start at life."
"That girl is not Tris, whatever you have done to her.. Change it back," I say angrily as I clench my hands into fist. Nita rolls her eyes, " Oh Tobias that's not going to happen. Your welcome to stay and get to know Rose or you can leave, but I have big plans for her and Johan that I will not let you destroy. However I have a proposition, if you help me with my plans then perhaps I can restore you into her mind. All you have to do is do what I say. Think about Tobias. You could have a fresh new start in this world and with her."
I don't answer her. If I am going to figure out what's really going on here and how to get out I need help. Without a word I walk away to find Zeke. This is all to crazy for me to handle. Although not much I can do, I will do something. First I need a plan that is already working it's way through my mind. I will get out of this and I'm getting Tris back.
