divergent-no war- Fourtris

chapter 6

Tris POV:

I try to turn to see whoever is holding my arms. Before I can something covers my eyes and I'm submerged in darkness. I struggle out of their grasp and rip the blindfold off.
Before me I see Peter, Eric and a woman I dont even know. I know exactly what their planning to do.
They're going to kill me.
They all lunge at me at once and I scream.
I kick and punch while I'm being dragged along the floor. I cant die like this. I cant die, not yet. I try to crawl away but Peter and Eric stop me.
"HELP," I shout and a hand muffles my shouts. I bite down hard and taste blood. Somthing hard hits my head and my vision spots. It hits again, and again, and again.
I scream in pain. My throat burns my head throbs and blood comes out my nose and mouth. The woman who was holding my legs is now kicking my sides. I can barely breath.
"STOP!"I hurt everywhere and I cough up blood. Im beaten. I remember being attacked the first time and how Tobias came and saved me. Hes not here now. I have to do this alone. And I can, I have to. I squirm into a ball until the kicking stops. I notice eric is gone, Where to is a mystery. Theres a split second where no one is hitting me and I take that opportunity. I scramble to my feet and bolt. I dont get four steps in before my vision grows distorted and colorful. I fall and hit my head. Peter walks up to me and says
"You done stiff?"
I can't reply, not to that.
I just close my eyes and the beating starts again. Next thing I know I'm being dragged by my feet. I cant fight back. Everything hurts. I just watch the lamps on the ceiling, how they glow. I hear the chasm and I panic.
"FOUR!" Tobias got me out of the last attack can he do the same here. I scream for him, for anyone, I scream till I can't breath. I hear footsteps but their not from Tobias.
"Be brave Tris," I hear eric say and Everything goes dark.

I dont know how long its been but I open my eyes. I try to move but i cant get up. My whole body burns with pain. I hear groans and shouts. I move my head to the left and I see Tobias beating the hell out of them all. I see his face for a second and I dont see Tobias, I see Four. I blink and things jump. I cant see very well. I try to breathe deeper and i choke on blood. I spit it out and it all happens so quickly. Tobias is hitting an unconscious peter while the woman crawls over to me and tries to choke me.
"Four," only a whisper escapes so I try again "Four!" I say again and his head turns. My vision goes and so do my thoughts.
I wake up to feel a gun on my head and two people shouting. I try to scramble out of her grasp but I'm weak and shes stronger than I am. I hear the bullet click into place and Tobias shout. He dives at the woman and again my body goes limp and I unwillingly fall asleep.
I wake up obviously a few seconds later because Tobias has the woman beaten to a pulp and shows no mercy.
"Tobias," I dont know if anyone is awake and I dont care, i just want to be held.
"Tris!" I see him turn away and run towards me. His voice is soft and sane. He looks worried and his dark blue eyes are the last thing I see before I pass out again.

Tobias POV:

I scoop tris up off the floor and carry her back to my apartment making sure not to sway her too much. I lay her on my bed and run my hand through her hair. I've done this before. I check her for breaks and I check her vitals. When I look back at her shes awake. She most definitely has a concussion so its better for her to stay awake.
"Hey," I say as soft as I can and I sit her up, She can't do it by herself."I'll find you an ice pack," and I look through the freezer and I find one. When I turn back Tris is slumped over so I lay her back down. She'll be fine if I'm here. I put the ice pack under her head and clean myself up.
My knuckles are cut and my nose is bloody. Ill probably have a few bruises, nothing too bad.
I cant believe I actually killed them.
Shit, I killed them.
I was so angry, I had no control.
Am I like Marcus?
I have to force myself to look up at the mirror.
What have I done?
I feel tears behind my eyes and I cant fight them. I pound at the sink and stare at myself.
I cant stop myself from stumbling backwards and falling. I crawl into a corner and cry, I cry until I stop.
And then I act like nothing happened.

Tris POV:

I hear Tobias crying in the bathroom. He comes out and sees me. He looks embarrassed and shameful. I try to stand up and my legs buckle immediately. Tobias catches me and lifts me back into bed. He kneels beside me and I remember when we did this before. He runs a hand through my knotted hair and then proceeds to look at me. He doesn't say anything, he doesn't coddle me, he insists on my strength even though im laying down unable to get up and in so much pain. the pain is almost unbearable. I keep looking into his eyes and say quietly "What happened?"
"Well, you were attacked" he says.
"Well I know that. what happened after I got knocked out?" He isnt telling me something
"I dealt with them," he killed them didn't he.
"What did you do?" Im not sure i want to know
He doesn't respond. I dont want him to. I can tell hes not proud of what he did.
"Thankyou," I say and I hold his face. I place my thumb on his bottom lip and keep it there. "I love you,"
"I love you too,"he says, the tip of my thumb touching his teeth. He moves my hand and kisses me. I pull myself up a bit using him to support me. My whole body seers with pain.
"Stop," he says and lays me back down. "Get some sleep,"
He starts to walk away and a sharp pain hits me. I shudder.
"What was that? Are you allright?" He asks.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I say
"You can be weak, its ok,"he looks at me with his instructor face. "Do you want anything?" He asks me.
"No," I say and curl up in his blanket. I become engulfed in his smell and I love it.
Tobias pours himself a glass of water and sets it on the bedside table. He turns out the lights except for one lamp on the coffee table. Its a dull light and makes my vision odd.
"Can you turn it off?" I ask.
"Sure," he walks up to the lamp and taps it once. The room is black. He walks to the bathroom to get changed. He comes back and gets a blanket and pillow. He places them on the floor so I can see him. He has windows all along one wall but no one can see in. The moon light illuminates the back of his head.
"Tobias," I say and he lifts his head from the floor. "I love you no matter what, you deserve to be loved." I cant believe I just said that. What was I thinking? Tobias walks up to me and kisses me, hes careful. He doesn't want to hurt me.
"Goodnight," he says and gets back on the floor.
He sleeps on his front, his face to the side so hes not looking at me.
And hes an eighteen year old boy again, and I'm the sixteen year old girl with a mad crush on my instructor again.
