TRIS PRIOR

[sup]As soon as I heard his voice, I turned around, my gun already pointed straight at him. I hated Eric with a burning passion, so I wouldn't hesitate to kill him instantly. But who I saw behind him stopped me from shooting immediately. Tobias? What was he doing there? I didn't know what to think. My mind went completely blank. I was confused and somewhat hurt - but mostly puzzled and bewildered. I couldn't understand what was going on. I kept my gun steady, though, just in case anyone made a move. Now I just felt cornered, even though I wasn't. Shoot anyone who gets in your way, Tris. No mercy. A voice in my head stated. I wasn't sure if I would be able to do that with everyone. I was just waiting for Eric to do something that would hint or start an attack.

[sup]Now I had to move. I tried to dart out of the way, almost dropping my gun in the process. I had to keep a close eye on it. It was time to test my multi-tasking skills. I had to make sure that I didn't drop my gun, kill Eric, and stop Tobias from killing me. Wow, that was a lot I had to handle. I was actually pretty scared now. I knew how Tobias fought and he had some major fighting skills, ones that were more advanced than mine. He would be able to kill me easily. To make things worse, Eric might stop my attempts of shaking Tobias off, so I was pretty much screwed in the situation. Should I fight back? Not unless he actually attempted to kill me or if he actually injured me. For now, I had to formulate a better plan because the current one was not working at all.

[sup]As soon as the kick landed on my side, I couldn't help but let go of the gun. It just web flyin out of my hand. The kick hurt. A lot. Luckily it wasn't the side where I got injured a couple of minutes ago. That would have been bad if the kick landed in the same spot. I didn't want to injure him but pure instincts took over. I attempted to land a punch in retaliation. It could hit anywhere. I wasn't exactly sure where but I just did that because it was for self-defense. There was no other reason. I didn't want to hurt him, which was pretty obvious. I didn't even know how I managed to keep on standing despite the pain. Maybe I was getting used to it? Whatever it was, it didn't help me with my no-gun dilemma.

[sup]Unfortunately for me, all of those moves worked. I was flipped over and punched in the stomach, the two of the moves knocking the wind out of me. The gun was only a couple of feet away but even I I was closer to it, I wouldn't have been able to grab it. I wasn't planning on shooting Tobias at all. If he grabbe the gun, then that would mean that I would probably be the one who was getting shot. Was I okay with that? No. But there was no way that I would win this fight. There was no way that I would kill him. I couldn't even think of it, even when he was at this state. I only wanted to kill Eric, not him.

[sup]That was the only time I actually agreed with Eric. Not about the fighting back part but about the "time's up" part. It was now pressed against my forehead, meaning that I would die instantly if he shot. I suddenly remembered his fear landscape, where one of his fears was shooting someone innocent, a woman to be more exact. I wasn't techinically innocent because I killed some people but maybe I could work with this.
I knew that he wasn't himself. I wasn't mad at him at all. I wasn't even mad about almost getting killed. Just sad. "You can do it...be brave." I say in a quiet voice, not wanting Eric to hear. But who cared if he did? I was going to die anyway. I just hoped that Eric would die as well so we would be even. Eric was the one at fault, not Tobias.

[sup]Relief flooded through my sore body and I couldn't help but crack a smile even though I was near tears. I honestly thought that I would end up dying but Tobias seemed to have snapped out of it. "Hi." That was the only thing I managed to say. I was feeling mixed emotions all at once and my determination to stop the simulation only grew stronger. I don't want Eric to know that Tobias was back to his senses so I was glad that Tobias still kept the gun pointed to my head.

[sup]I took that as my cue. I reached into his back pocket, pulling out the gun. I was ready to murder Eric without question. I didn't even care about him anymore. I would have normally been more sympathetic but not now. All I wanted to do was shoot him. I took my aim, sitting up as I did. Then I shot. If my aim was correct, it would land somewhere in his upper body, where everything were more painful and dangerous. There were many vital organs in the upper body so there would be more of a dying chance. Then I shot again, just in case the other one didn't work. I wasn't taking anymore chances with him.

[sup]I didn't want him to feel bad at all, so I squeezed him tightly in the hug, even though it hurt both my sides. "It wasn't your fault. I'm okay. Anyway, at least we killed Eric." There was a bright side to this type of situation, believe it or not. I wasn't badly injured and Eric was dead. Tobias and I were reunited once more. Then, thinking that words might not be enough, I leaned in and pressed my lips against his. I didn't normally start kisses but Tobias seemed to need some sort of comfort.

[sup]"You're the strongest person I know. If you couldn't do it, no one else could. I'm sure that I wouldn't have been able to snap out of it." I tried to reassure him. I didn't want him to feel like it was his fault. It wasn't. If I was put under that, I probably wouldn't have been strong enough to snap out of it so quickly. Maybe I wouldn't have been able to at all. Maybe Jeanine made it specially for those who were Divergent? If so, we had to stop her quickly. We already had Eric killed so we were halfway there.

[sup]We were almost done. Thank goodness. This felt like more of an annoying task instead of an actual mission now that we were so close to the end. My gun, in my free hand, was loaded just in case we met up with any others who decided that picking fights was fun. I was still pretty sore and tired from the fights before but I had enough energy to finish. Then, after we were done and maybe even alive, I would be extremely happy. Jeanine was close. I remembered her voice and for some reason, it annoyed me. She was an annoying type of person. I have his hand a small squeeze to let him know that I was ready for whatever we were up against.

[sup]That was peculiar. She wasn't there. She might be in another high-tech control room but we couldn't be too sure. After all, that lady was the leader of Erudite. She was clever in her own devious ways. "She's not here." I answer back, suddenly at a loss for where she might be. My guesses were in another control room but she must be expecting us so maybe she has something set-up? I hoped not. I put my guard up, expecting anything. Well, almost anything. I glanced around, suddenly feeling more cautious than ever. The atmosphere wasn't comforting at all.

[sup]I followed after Tobias, occasionally stopping to wait for him when he collected bullets. However, I soon grew curious enough to wander into the main control room. That was where I found her. She was all the way at the end of the room with this strange machine that seemed to control the simulations. It was huge and it looked confusing. Jeanine didn't even look at me but a couple of people that were around her did. There weren't much of them but I still wasn't eager on fighting them. However, I had no choice. I raised my gun, aiming at the one who looked the strongest. Take down the strongest then go for the weak. I thought to myself.

[sup]I nodded and headed for Jeanine, dodging anyone who tried to attack me. It didn't take long for me to reach Jeanine. I considered killing her but I don't know how to turn the simulations off. Maybe I could persuade her to turn it off with her life. Unfortunately, wouldn't budge, even when I threatened to shoot her.
A smile grew on her lips as she looked at me. "You can't kill me unless you know how to turn it off. You don't." I wanted so bad to wipe that smile off her lips but before I could even say anything else, someone behind me grabbed my hands, pushing them behind my back. Another male approached me, ready to punch me but I jumped up, using my legs to harshly kick the male in the stomach. The male who was about to punch me staggered back in pain. Now I had to get rid of the guy who was holding my hands behind my back.

[sup]The man who held me shrieked in pain and let go of me. I didn't want to kill him but something forced me to shoot him again. I immediately felt bad afterwards but I turned my attention back to Jeanine. The female frowned and shot Tobias and I a dirty look before returning to her controls. I knew that Tobias and I were powerless against her. She knew how to stop it and we didn't.
But then my eyes lay on a knife and one of those syringes that they probably injected the other Dauntless people with. I grabbed the knife, gripping the handle tightly. I had a plan. If I managed to pin Jeanine to the simulation controls, then Tobias would be able to inject her. We would then command her to stop the simulation. Then we would go back and rest. I looked up at Tobias, motioning for him to grab the syringe. I mouthe the words, "trust me."

[sup]Jeanine hissed in pain but before any words came out, she was under the control of the simulation. Good. Now all we had to do was command her to stop the simulation and then bring the rest of Dauntless home. I was actually worried about how Christina would react to me killing Will. I was anxious. But I pushed the thought away and ordered in my most commanding voice possible, "Stop the simulation. Now." Okay, maybe I wasn't the most intimidating person but at least I was trying.
To my surprise, Jeanine followed directions, pressing certain buttons and keys on the controls until, finally, the simulation stopped. How did I know? She was her self again. She looked confused and shocked at the same time, as if not believing that she had lost this round.

[sup]If we were lucky, Jeanine wouldn't try escaping. The lady hesitated for a moment before nodding her head, a sigh escaping from her lips. She was giving up so easily? No, she must have something planned. I was only paranoid because of what I've been through. I kept my guard up, ready to react to any other moves she might make. My hand gripped my gun tightly and I kept on glancing back every now and then, just in case someone else decided to join the party. I was exhausted and I don't want to deal with anyone or anything else anymore.

[sup]I couldn't help it either. I sat down next to him, breathing in a sigh of relief. I could just fall asleep right now. I felt like I would be able to sleep for days and days. I took a deep breath, glancing over at Tobias. "We did it." We did do it. We were both somehow alive and breathing normally. That took a whole lot of effort. I was actually pretty happy that it was all over. I now had some time with Tobias and maybe even some time to sit here and rest. The rest of Dauntless could sort things out themselves for the next couple of minutes. It wouldn't kill them. Hopefully.

[sup]I didn't know why but I rather enjoyed the kisses that the two of us shared. It made me feel so much better, even though I actually felt beat up and tired. I then broke away from the kiss only to take a short breath. I couldn't hold my breath forever, even though I wanted to. I then turned back on my side only to lean into him so our sides were touching. "I'm exhausted. Wake me up when something happens." I say, closing my eyes. I knew that I couldn't fall asleep here but I can always try.

[sub]ooc: Okay, I'll start us off!

I only started to wake up about an hour later. I don't feel refreshed at all. My injuries were acting up as soon as I drifted back to reality. I expected to be back in Quarters but I wasn't. I was in the main control room with Tobias. I was a little confused at first and I lifted my head up, wondering why I was here out of all places. But then I remembered. We just stopped the simulations. Good for us. Hey, where was Jeanine? It had been an hour so I had no idea what happened in that past hour, so I panicked that she had managed to escape. "Where's Jeanine" I say to no one in particular, immediately standing up.
