Wings
Chapter 9
TRIS P.O.V
I wake up after dream linking with Susan. I look up to see them all smiling at me. I stand up and smile back.
"I need more knifes." I say to Amar and he smirks like a mad man. He walks over to a cupboard and chucks me another sheaf. I strap it to my thigh. He then throws a knife which I catch and put in the sheaf. He throws two more that I catch and put in the sheaf.
"Ready?" I ask and they nod collectively. We exit the small home and I climb on Max's back.
"Let's go." I say and we start to fly off.
We go through the Water kingdom. We keep going past the Air kingdom and through the desolate desert. Above the weeping woods and through the chasm. Finally we pass through the meadow and the guys lower there flying a bit to avoid whatever stops the fairies from flying.
When we arrive near Jeannie's fortress we make a game plan.
"I don't have a game plan. I just need to get inside." I say and they nod.
"Go." Instructs amar and we all spread out. I hear comotion and someone chasing me. I get grabbed by the waist and elbow whoever it is in the face. I keep running and eventually make it to the fortress. I hide in the shadows as they drag my friends towards a huge room. I wait until the guards have left chuckling before going in. I run towards my unconsious friends and look them all over. I poke amar and he wakes up.
"Hey sleepy." I say and he chuckles. I hear someone laugh from behind me and I spin so fast I think I got whiplash.
"Ah. Tris." Says the woman. She's blonde like me and she has dark blue eyes.
"Jeannie." She introduces and I scowl immediatly. She smirks and walks towards me. She chants something and the world swirls.
I wake up with a jolt to find myself on a cold floor staring at Christina, Will, Susan and other people I don't know the name of yet. I stand up only to be grabbed from behind. As I'm being held my eyes settle on a guy with dark hair, dark blue eyes and wings that belong to a fire fairy. Tobias. The world diseapears around us and I smile. He smiles back and I curse when someone digs there fingers into my ribs.
"Let's see how powerful you really are." Says Jeannies Voice. She chants a spell and I black out.
I wake up in a field in the middle of nowhere. I stand up and look around. This isn't real. I was just in Jeannies fortress. I hear a sqwak and look up to see a swarm of birds, crows. They dart towards me and I duck. They start clawing and pecking at me. What I wouldn't give for a gun right now. Just as I think that a gun apears on the ground next to me. I fire it at the birds and they disapear along with the gun. The world goes black again.
I wake up again and this time I'm in a tank. The tank starts filling up with water and I start banging on the glass.
"This isn't Real!" I yell and think,
The glass is ice. The glass is ice. The glass smashes like ice and I smirk before the world goes dark again.
This time when I wake up I'm in an ocean. Waves are crashing everywhere and I get pulled under by an invisible force. I thrash trying to get back up but then I remember.
"This isn't real!" I yell and let the water take me under. My lungs burn and black dots cloud my vision.
The next thing to happen is I'm back in my home. Its dark and someone pounds on the door. My heart starts racing. The baging gets louder and I drop to the ground rolling under the bed. The door bursts open and three pairs of footsteps ring out through the house. I need a weapon. I feel something next to me. A gun. Someone grabs my ankles and yanks me out from under the bed. I turn and shoot the people.
"This isn't real!" I yell for what seems like the thousandth time in the past hour. I black out for the fifth time today.
I wake up again, this is the fifth situation. I'm bound to a post and in front of me is Jeannie with a stick on fire. She puts it by me feet and fire starts.
"That's the smell of your burning flesh." She taunts and I smirk.
"You know what I smell?" I ask and she frowns.
"I smell rain." I say and lightning cracks across the sky. Massive drops of rain start to fall.
"No matter how hard you try Jeannie, you'll never be able to convince me this is real." I spit and with that I black out again.
I wake up in my room at my house. That's weird. I look up to see Tobias. That's even weirder.
"Congratulations. You did it." He says and then we kiss. Oh god I don't like where this is going. The kiss gets deeper and things become heated. Ah I understand where this is going.
"I'm not going to sleep with you in a simuation because THIS ISN'T REAL!" I yell kicking him and pushing him off me.
"Really Jeannie. That was a bitchy thing to do." And with that I black out again.
I wake up and I have a gun in my hand. I look up to find Susan, Amar and Tobias standing there.
"Shoot them or I will kill you. You have ten seconds." Says Jeannie pointing and gun at my temple.
"10." She says and I shake my head.
"Do it." Says Amar and I shake my head.
"9." Says Jeannie and I shake my head again.
"I understand Tris." Says Susan and I shake my head again.
"8." Says Jeannie and I try to move but my feet are glued to the floor.
"7."
"6."
"5."
"4."
"3." I turn and point my gun at Jeannie.
"THIS ISN'T REAL!" I scream and shoot Jeannie. Everything goes black.
This time I wake up in the real world.
"That's impossible." Says Jeannie looking at me.
"That the best you got?" I ask regaining my breath.
"You shouldn't have been able to tell that wasn't real." She says more to herself than anyone else.
"Why not?" I ask slightly confused. She smirks.
"That was suppose to put you through your biggest fears to break you. You knew it wasn't real and you manipulated it. I've never met anyone able to do that." She says and I shrug. It was easy to know it wasn't real.
"I don't know." I say getting close enough to lunge and punch her in the face. I land a blow to the jaw.
"How long do you think you were in there?" She asks me and I shrug.
"An Hour and A Half?" I ask and she shakes her head.
"Four Minutes." She says and I smirk. I lunge and aim for her face again.
"Maybe I'm just strong-willed." I say missing her face.
"You are correct to say that you are strong-willed. I cannot control your will. But there are a few things I can control." She states and then I feel as if I have not control of my body.
"I can control your body. I can control your mind. Just not your will." She says and I try to move but I can't. Its like I'm trapped in a box. I smash against the wall and I can control my arm. I slap myself around the face.
"That's impossible." Jeannie says and I loose control of my arm.
"Not impossible." Says Tori suddenly aware of the situation.
"Just extremly rare." She continues and I gain control of my voice.
"Your a bitch." I say and I loose control again.
"Put the pendant on the queen." Jeannie instructs and I let it happen. Its fake anyway. My body puts the fake pendant on the queen and I regain control long enough to mouth "its fake".
"Come here." Jeannie intructs and that's when I start to fight.
"Fight me for the other four percent of your brain." She says and I'm seriously confused.
"Right now were both in control of 48% of your brain. Fight me for the winning Four percent." She says and my mind battles against her control.
"Or you can join the winning side." She says and I take control of my speach.
"Ha. Winning side. Bitch Please." I say imitating Robert.
"I take offence to that." Robert yells and I snort.
"Let's go looking through your brain." Jeannie says and I feel like someones going through filing cabnits in my brain.
"That's impossible. Your not just one thing. Your not just a meadow fairy, fire fairy, earth fairy, air fairy, water fairy or royal fairy. Your all six." She says with a stumble.
"Don't try and define me." I say and with that I'm able to bypass her control gaining control of my body.
"Ughh. I feel like someone hit me in the head with a bulldoser." I say and then something hits me over the head. I groan and am being dragged. I hit something hard. I open my eyes. I'm trapped Well Shit. Someone laces their fingers through mine. I look up at the person and smile at him. Its Tobias. He lifts a hand and caresses my cheek. I go to smash a fist against the forcefield but what happens shocks me. It goes through the forcefield. The wings, it has to be the wings. I stand up and go through the forcefield.
"How did you do that?" Jeannie asks scowling at me.
"Your spell. You bound anything with wings. Last time I checked I don't have any." I say like I'm explaining it to a five year old.
"Shit." She curses and I smirk pulling out a knife and launching it at her. It cuts her arm and smashes a window. Ohhps.
"I will have the power." She yells and light comes from each person.
"Jesus. You don't know when to give up do you?" I ask and she smirks. I pull out another knife. I aim and launch it at the crystal extracting the power. It explodes. Jeannies forcefield spell drops and everyone shoots up. Jeannie yells and stalks over to me grabbing me. She places something hard to my abdoman. A gun. Well shit.
"Come any closer and I'll put a bullet through her." She says wrapping one arm around my neck.
"Know when you've lost." Someone says and I try to step on her foot. I fail and go for my knifes. I can't get to them.
"Your going to let me leave with her and you'll never see me again." She says and everyone objects. I do what I know best. I grab the gun and twist around. I fire the gun at Jeannie landing a shot to the shoulder.
