I know I said no authors note, but I have to say this. I am so so sorry that I did not post sooner. School has really gotten to me and I could not post. I just wanted to how sorry I am. That is why I will be posting Chances tonight instead of tomorrow. okay now here is the long awaited Wake Up Call Part II
Tobias
I'll be honest this plan was completely elaborate. The only problem was if one thing went wrong then our plan fell apart. Could we have waited and thought it our more? Probably, but after what Marlene heard about Marcus launching some attack. We knew we had to act fast. I am so worried this whole thing will blow up in my face. However we will be okay. We have to be.
Tris knows this whole place inside and out. She stays ahead of me despite my protest. However if I were leading us around we would be lost for sure. Tris is about to turn the corner, but stops and comes back around. Cursing under her breath she gets her gun ready. "What is it," I whisper as softly as I can. Her eyes burn into mine as she whispers, "Marcus and company."
It's my turn to curse. "How many," I ask and she looks back again for a split second. "I counted five," she answers. We can't just go shooting people. It wouldn't be right. "What do we do," I ask after an uncomfortable silence. She looks at her gun as she responds, "We have to force our way through. If not we will never get to that lab." I do not problem about shooting Marcus. But the others I'm not so sure about. "So what we just shoot blindly," I ask and she shakes her head. "No, yes. Uh I don't know Tobias, but we need to get to that lab.
It could be the one we need." Tris says. The further we go into this the more I see Tris. The more Tris resurfaces the more Rose fades. I am happy to know the love of my life is slowly coming back. After whispering for a minute we decided on a plan. It will require us to split up. I'm not happy about that, but it will have to do. We will be a part for less than a minute. But anything can happen in that amount of time. I give Tris a quick kiss on the lips.
She pressed her lips back softly. "Be safe," she whispers to me and I nod, "you too." She walks away from me then her steps turn into soft running. I watch her go until she disappears down the corner. Slowly I turn around to look at the other end of the hallway. I lift my gun and take my aim at the lights. Breathe in *fire fire fire* breathe out. "What was that," a guard shouts panickedly. I shoot again. "What's going on," calls another, "sound the alarm!"
It's Tris' turn. I hear the cracks of gun shots along with a few grunts. Tris agreed with me on not killing them. The both of us have enough blood on our hands. After several thuds Tris calls, "old wounds." It means their wounded and cannot do anything. No not the best code name, but we don't really have time to come up with better names. I move from my spot and make my way over to her.
"You okay," I ask softly and she nods, "I'm fine come on let's go." We walk around the moaning gaurds slowly. I feel sorry for them. Who knows they could be innocent peolple. Then again they do work for Marcus. How innocent can they be? "You know where your going," I ask filling the silence.
We walk along the walls now just incase we run into anyone. Tris shrugs, "I have an idea of where we are going. Remember I haven't been to this part of the compound." It's understandable. After all they wouldn't want Tris poking around. She would find out the truth in a minute.
Marlene
After we saw the signal from Tris we moved on to the next stage in our plan. Zeke and I make our way to the labs. Thanks to my amazing memory I was able to find one of the memory labs. It was one I was brought to a while ago. We know we skipped a lot of the plan we had originally organized.
But when has any of our plans actually worked? The answer is never. Zeke and I were able to do enough damage without anyone hearing. Quickly we walk through the halls stealthily. "What are you guys doing," I hear someone say behind us. Panic explodes in my chest as Zeke and I turn around. At first I'm relieved to see Christina, then mortified to see Will. He died. A long time ago and I'm sure he didn't fake his death. "If it isn't traitors one and two," Zeke taunts.
Soon I remember what Christina did. She turned against us for him. "Stop it Zeke you know why I did this," Christina snaps bitterly. Before Zeke can respond Will says, "Enough, look what are you guys doing here?" "I could ask the same about you two," I respond harshly. Christina gives me an icy glare.
I return a smirk as Will says, "We are trying to get the other people out of here. Although the serum does good things it is highly unstable and fatal if used on a-" "okay science nerd I think we got it," Zeke interrupts. Christina is the next person to speak, "We want to get the people out of here before something bad happens." Crossing my arms I ask, "How can we be sure you are on our side?" Christina and Will look at each other for a moment.
They have no way to convince us. "Because we know where the serum is," Will says softly. Zeke and I make eye contact this time. Do we trust them and destroy the serum? Or does this explode in our faces and we get caught? "Zeke you decide what we should do," I say simply. I trust Zeke's judgement more than I trust my own. Zeke nods, "Fine you help us destroy the serums and we will get the people out of here." Will and Christina nod in agreement.
"Tris and Tobias will not be happy about this," I muttered to Zeke. "I know," he mutters back as we wait a minute for Will and Christina to get to our sides. Once close enough we take off down the hall. With quick running steps we make our way through a maze of white halls.
Right now I'm happy to have Will. Since he was erudite he memorized this entire building. He knows where everything is. Although I dislike him he came in handy. I hope Tris and Tobias are doing okay.
Tris
Tobias and I have made it to one of the memory labs. Sadly it isn't where the serums are. However it has memories here. Basically the numb your memories and make them nearly impossible to brung back. Except with this little glass tube in my hand.
The only way I could get my memories back is giving myself this shot. For example what happened on my choosing ceremony? What was my aptitude test? Were my family and I close? It's strange to think all the answers are in a glass tube. What really gets to me though is how do I remember some things, but not others. I want to think of my divergence.
Maybe because of that they couldn't take all the memories out. Staring at this tube I just want to give myself the shot. But I can't. It's not because I'm afraid of what I might see. It's because I don't want it. If I do take it then I feel tied to everything that has happened to me before.
If I don't then I will never know who I was. Tobias puts his hand on my shoulder, but does not speak. Yet I know what he is thinking. He wants me to take this serum. I want to take it to, but I can't. "I want to," I admit, "so why can't I take it?"
Tobias doesn't answer me. I wouldn't have answered me either. Mostly because what answer is there. I look over my shoulder to face him as I say, "I should take it, so why don't I? I want to remember everything with you. Everything with my family."
Tobias' eyes burn into mine as my words linger in the air. I force my gaze away from him. This is my decision. Only I can make it. Gripping the little tube in my hand tightly I sigh. I have made my choice. What I do next will never be un done. As quickly and hard as I can, I throw the tube to the ground.
It crashes against the white floor allowing the clear liquid to flow. Tobias takes my hand as he says, "Let's go Tris we still have work to do. Then it's over." With a shallow breath I nod, "Your right." He isn't mad by my choice. I wish I knew why though. I follow a step behind him out of the lab and into the white halls.
I check the time to see it's 1:27. It actually hasn't been as long as I thought. Looking to Tobias I ask, "where to next?" Before he can answer he points down the hallway to my right. I face that way to see Zeke and Marlene. Something must be wrong. We weren't supposed to meet until later. However things don't go as planned. "Please tell me you guys are just here early," I say pleadingly.
Mar shakes her head, "No were here because we know where the serums are." I gape at Marlene as Tobias asks, "How do you know?" Zeke frowns, "We ran into Will and Christina, they said they want to get the other people out of here before something bad happens. So we get the serum while they get the people." I look at Tobias to see his jaw has tightened.
Slowly I lock my fingers with his. His hand tightens around mine. I am his and he is mine. We could go home soon. We could move on. For better or for worse we will make it. The four of us run through the halls. Zeke is in front leading us to the serums. With every step my heart beats faster. This is it. I can move on from what I've done. I can move on from what's happened. Even if I don't remember all of it I can move on.
In a way I am letting go of the past. Now I can go to the future with out the chains of the past. The thought makes me feel a little more at ease. However I am still anxious out. This whole thing has been way to easy. Abruptly I stop in my place making Tobias stop to. Zeke and Marlene stop a few feet ahead of us. They stare at me with confusion and worry. "What is it," Zeke asks me a moment later. Pulling my hand away from Tobias I say, "It's way to easy. We haven't seen anymore guards or heard from Marcus or Nita.
Something isn't right." Zeke, Marlene and Tobias exchange a few looks. They know I'm right. Sometimes I hate being right. "That's true, but shouldn't that be a good sign that it's almost over," Marlene suggests. I wish it was, but the pit in my stomach says otherwise. Tobias looks into my eyes as he says, "What do you think we should do?" What do I think we should do?
I could just be paranoid, but when has that happened. Looking at my hands I sigh. What do I think we should do? What is the best thing to do? I have far to many questions when I need answers. An idea crosses my mind, but I am worried. It could end up getting us all killed. Is it worth it? No it's not. Pushing that thought away I run my fingers through my hair. "I don't know," I admit, "Maybe we should go and be prepared for the worst."
Tobias take my hand as we walk on. Marlene and Zeke run ahead. This gave Tobias and I, a chance to be alone. Could this be our ending or our beginning? We walk for a few moments. With only the sound of our footsteps to fill the silence. "Can we do our wedding vows," I ask sheepishly. My eyes remain on the white floor as we stop. I face Tobjas as he says softly, "I'd like that, ladies first."
Smiling I grip his hand just a bit tighter. "I love you to the moon and back times infinity. If we make it out of this I vow to love you for better or for worse. That no matter what comes our way to always stand by you. Whether I spend the next five minutes alive or the next fifty years alive. I hope you are there with me." Tobias squeezes my hand tighter.
His eyes burn into mine as he speaks, "Tris you are my sun, I cannot live with out you in my life. When we make it out of this I vow to love and cherish you. Not even death will keep us apart. No matter where we end up after today I am glad to have you. I love you Beatrice Prior to have and to hold." I look into his eyes as a tear streams down my cheeks. "I love you Tobias Eaton to have and to hold," I say hoarsely.
I lean up while he leans down until our lips connect. With one final kiss we lose ourselves. For one more moment we are free. This is our one more. I pray we will have many more, but I do not know if that will happen. Our lips seperate and so does our hug. Without another word we run as fast as we can. At the end of the hall are grey doors labeled "Serum."
These doors before us lead to the serums. This is it. What happens next? Do we destroy this and run? Will something else stand in our way? Probably yes, but we will get through it. We always do. As soon as the doors open Tobias and I charge in. I don't know if we will come out. All I know is that he is with me. That we will face this together. As we stand there in the front of the lab all around us are little tubes. "Do you see this," calls Zeke from the other end of the lab.
The lab is filled with several metal shelves all around. All of them holding little red tubes of liquid. Just think in all these little tubes holds the power to change a person forever. Tobias and I walk around a bit looking. "This is crazy," I breathe as I stare at the little tubes. What would Marcus and Nita plan to do with all of this? I mean I have an idea, but what purpose.
What's the point in doing all of this? "Isn't this great," says a twisted voice from behind. I snap my attention to see Nita with blood on her face. Good to know I broke her nose. Tobias, Zeke and Marlene stand by my sides. "What is your plan exactly," I ask, "Why do this? What do you possibly have to gain?" If I die today. I will die with answers. Nita laughs as she crosses her arms.
"With this new start there will be no more GP's or GD's everyone will be on equal playing ground," Nita says harshly. It occured to me that Nita wasn't divergent. Apparently that means your gentetically damaged. Personally I think it's completely stupid. "That whole GP and GD thing is ridiculous," Marlene snaps angrily. "No it's the truth," Nita counters with an icy glare.
I inch my hand closer to my gun as Zeke says, "Who cares about that stuff GD or GP it doesn't matter. What do you plan to do with the people here? How would you get all of them to follow you? Not to mention the other cities and the Beaurux." Nita doesn't answer. Instead about ten gaurds show up behind her. Hopelessly out numbered what do we do? "Marcus and I plan to send all of this across the country," Nita explains as I grip my gun handle. "You see with this fresh start Marcus and I will change this place. There will be no more GD or GP."
"Think about what your doing," Marlene says although she knows it is pointless. It seems Nita has grown up believing in this GP and GD thing. In a way it reminds me of Jeanine. "It's over this is the start of the world," Nita says. Before anything else can be said I fired. I'm not sure where or what exactly happened next. It was all a blur of things passing by. Not to mention the glowing light of yellow and orange. As everything passed by in a blur I became lost.
I saw a grey house with a small girl with my hair and eyes. A boy who looked just like Caleb, but younger. I saw my mother Natalie watching us while my father Andrew had his arm around. The scene changed to when I was sixteen. I was looking a mirror at myself with my mom. It was my choosing ceremony. The scene changed to me jumping off a building. Tobias is the next thing I see. Flashes of people play trough my mind along with names for each face.
Peter, Molly, Edward, Eric, Al, Maya, Uriah, Zeke, Shauna and so many more. The next scene plays through my mind. I'm on a train with other dauntless members. They all look brain dead. I find Tobias and I know he is awake. Flashes of the attack go through my mind. I see my parents die. I see Jeanine. Tobias is under simulation, but I pull him out. It took awhile. Better late than never.
Divergent.
Were in Amity now. I'm cutting my hair and then I see Tobias. White flashes of Amity, Candor and Erudite headquarters play through my mind. I see Caleb in Erudite which sends anger through my veins. Next thing I know is I'm on a meal table. I see my heart monitor slow and I cannot move. Peter has me in his arms then transfers me to Tobias. I see the video in erudite as the woman says Prior. That is my name.
Insurgent.
Evelyn takes over and it flashes to Cara and Johanna. We travel out of the city. It seems like ages until we make it to the Bureau. I'm in a room with the others and Tobias. My mother was from here. Or at leat she used to be here. Caleb is about to go to his death. I refuse to let him go then I find myself before David. He knew my mother. Darkness consumes me.
Allegiant.
The years of being at the hands of Nita play through my mind. The loss of Tobias breaks me over and over. Then Matthew breaks me free. I see him. I see Tobias again and my heart swells. The few days we had together make me feel alive. Everything within me changed.
Although my life has been twisted and there have been so many turns. It was worth it. I found something along the way. I found my way home. It took awhile, but I found where I belong. I belong with Tobias. I belong with my friends and brother. They are all I have and they are all I need.
