My Insurgent Life (Completely Fanfiction) Wattys2015

Chapter 21

"You killed her!" A familiar voice shrieks from far away.

I know that voice. I push myself to my feet and run towards it.

Soon, I see her.

Grace.

"Grace!" I call. "You're alive!"

She stares at me, a pained look in her eyes. "I'm sorry," she says. "But did you not just see your boyfriend kill Alice?"

"What?" I say. "He didn't--"

She pushes past me and sprints toward our cell. I run after her.

When we are in the cell, Lamar and Glenn are fighting, punching and kicking each other while Christine calls for more guards.

Grace grabs Lamar's arm and yanks him towards her, she slaps Glenn and punches Lamar in the face.

Lamar rips his arm from her grasp and asks," what was that for?!"

"You killed my best friend," she says. "I will not let you forget it. I'll make your life a living hell."

"Grace!" I say, stepping between her and Lamar. "Grace, he didn't do it, you didn't see everything, you weren't there."

"I saw enough!" She says. "I saw him shoot her in the head. And now she's dead, because of him!" She points above me at Lamar.

"She was bleeding to death!" Lamar says. "She pointed towards a gun, and when I held it at her head, she thanked me."

"I don't believe that for a second!"

"Fine," I say. "Refuse the truth."

"I'm not refusing the truth!" She says. "You're just telling me lies!"

"We're from Candor." Lamar says. "Do you really expect us to lie?"

"You're both Dauntless, I've seen what both of you can do."

"Raised in Candor," I say. "Do you really think we would let go of where we were raised?"

She stares at me.

"See that dead guard over there?" I point towards the body. "That guard is the one that put that knife," I point towards the knife in Alice's stomach. "Where it is. She was bleeding out, we could tell she wanted us to end her suffering."

Grace sighs. "I'm sorry. I-- I-- I can't--"

"I know how you feel." I say. "Just calm down."

Grace turns towards Alice's body. She crouches and pulls the knife out of Alice's stomach. She stands.

The moment goes by so quickly.

Grace charges at me at drives the knife into my already wounded shoulder. I scream. The edges of my vision go black. Lamar yells at her, and smacks the knife from her hand. Grace looks shocked, she apologizes to me over and over again.

I see Glenn's face as he punches Lamar and rips me from his arms.

Lamar yells and shoves Glenn, and I fall to the ground. Lamar pulls me to my feet and yells, "Run!"

"I--" I croak. "I can't."

The darkness from the edges of my vision moves in, quickly.

And just before I lose consciousness, I hear Christine yell, "Get Alexander! We can heal her! Don't let her die!"

And then, I'm gone.
