BONJOUR! I WAS GOING TO UPDATE YESTERDAY BUT THEN MATH HAPPENED...
ROBERTS POV
They gave us all stunners and guns. I swore to myself that I would only use the gun as a last resort.
Nick and another Erudite were going to disable the elevators. The rest of us were supposed to attack and hold everyone at bay while Tris and the others were finishing their 'mission'.
I smiled in the midst of all of this. I never imagined that I would be here. If someone told me that I was going to be attacking Erudite, holding a gun just weeks ago, I wouldn't have believed them a single bit.
The truck stopped and I felt like my stomach was going to drop straight out of me.
"Ready?" asked Cassia, smiling grimly.
I let out a nervous laugh. "No, not at all."
"Yeah, me neither," she said.
"We're getting out," someone said after a few minutes.
"Bonne chance," muttered Cassia, to no one in particular.
I jumped out of the truck, along with the rest of my group.
I gripped my stunner so hard that my knuckles turned white. The gun was on my waist.
We jogged to the entrance and burst through the doors.
For a moment, no one noticed us, then someone shouted and the room fell into a panic once everyone was aware of us.
I saw Nick and the other Erudite messing with an electrical box near the elevators.
I saw one of my old instructors, Winter, jabbing someone with the stunner. The person went stiff and let out a yelp, then crumpled to the floor.
Cassia was running upstairs, so I followed her. she turned around for a second, probably hearing my footsteps.
"Cassia watch-" I started to say, but she crashed into some Erudite's running down the stairs. She jumped up and pulled up one of the Erudites with her. She held the stunner to the boys head.
"Move, and he gets it!" she yelled. "Wait..."
I looked at the group and thought that I saw familiar faces.
"Stella? Isobel?" said Cassia. Her eyes were wide in shock.
I remembered that Stella and Isobel were Cassia's sisters. I saw them in Amity. They probably got caught by Erudite and got brought here.
"What are all of you doing here?" I asked.
"We're running! What did you think we were doing? Stopping for tea?" snapped a boy with spiky black hair.
"Well sorry," I said.
"Stay with us!" said Cassia. "You'll be safer."
All of the Erudite's (and Isobel) nodded to Cassia.
"Good idea," said a girl with a long braid down her back.
Cassia started running back up the stairs, so the now seven of us ran.
"Wait! This is where the labs are! We might be able to find weapon-type things here!" said Stella, as we got to a landing.
We went through the door and saw Erudite's frantically running around. One was repeatedly pressing an elevator button, but the doors wouldn't open. I assumed that Nick did his job.
Stella lead the way into a lab. It was all sterile and white. There were cupboards that everyone ran to and rummaged through.
I opened a one of them and saw a bunch of needles with some fluid. DIVERGENT-PROOF FEAR SIMULATION SERUM, a label read.
"Hey, what's fear simulation serum?" I called out.
"Wait, what?" asked Stella, running over to me. She was holding a long knife and a bottle that read "Hydrochloric acid", whatever that was.
I pointed to the shelves. Stella grabbed a needle.
"This makes people see their fears. It works on Divergent's too," she said. She looked like she was remembering something awful when she said that. She shook her head and called everyone else over.
"Everyone take one of these," she said holding out the needle. "Inject it into someone if you need to get past them. Don't waste it."
Everyone, who was holding some kind of knife, took a needle filled with the serum.
"Wait, does anyone know how to use a gun?" I asked. It would be more useful to someone who actually knew how to shoot used it. And I most likely wouldn't use it anyways.
Stella raised her hand. I saw that Isobel already had a gun. I handed her my gun.
"What! You can't-" she started.
"I won't use it anyways. Take it," I said. She took the gun, slowly.
"Here, have the knife," she said, holding out the wicked looking blade.
"Er... thanks..." I said, taking it. It glinted at me menacingly.
"Okay, lets go," said Isobel.
We ran down the stairs and burst through the door to the first floor.
Blood was on the floor. People were crumpled on the ground and in fist fights.
"Well..." said Isobel. We all nodded to each other and ran into he crowd.
I looked around and saw Nick on the ground. A man was standing over him. Nick's gun was nowhere near him. He looked barely conscious. I ran at the man and held out my stunner. It met the mans side.
I felt a jolt as the electricity came out. The man doubled over in pain.
I pulled up Nick. I put his arm around my shoulder. His right eye was black and both his nose and lip were bleeding.
Nick hobbled along, holding tightly to me.
I needed to get him somewhere safe. We got into a hallway filled with screaming people.
Then, I saw a closet. I dragged Nick there and flung open the door.
I lowered Nick in and was about to close the door when I saw two children huddled in the corner. The looked at me with terri in their eyes. I realized how menacing I must have looked, with the knife, dragging a barely conscious person into a closet.
"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you," I said, in a soft voice. I put the knife on the ground.
"Really?" asked a girl, her eyes wide. The other kid, a boy who looked a bit younger than her clung to her arm. They were probably siblings.
"Yeah," I said.
"Are we going to die?" asked the boy.
"No," I said, putting s much assurance behind my voice as I could.
I handed them my knife. "If anyone tries to hurt either of you or my friend," I said, gesturing at Nick, "just use that."
The kids nodded. The girl gripped the knife tightly. I nodded and closed the door.
I ran back to the entrance.
I shocked people and defended others. The battle slowed down and finished as the last Erudite gave up.
I learned that Dauntless and the Factionless had come and attacked too.
Cassia got shot in the arm. She was screaming as Stella and the girl with the long braid, who's name was Sunny, removed the bullet. I put my hand in Cassia's. She gripped it so tightly that I thought that my bones would break. She passed out after the bullet was out. Daniel, the boy who snapped at us on the stairs, had bruised ribs from a fistfight. Madi had a bloody nose.
I dragged the now conscious and very confused Nick from the closet. The two kids hugged me.
"Thank you," said the boy.
"It was nothing. Now go find your parents," I said to them. They scampered off. I hoped that their parents were fine.
"What happened?" he murmured.
"We won... I guess," I said. Had we really? It didn't matter what Faction they were from, people died in the attack.
I saw Tris and Tobias, yelling at each other. I saw that Peter boy, who was at Amity, sitting with a woman. A little girl was wandering around near them.
I sat down by Cassia and closed my eyes. I had enough thrown at me today.
