Resurgent

Chapter Eleven

Kat POV

I hear a bloodcurdling scream from a few bunks down from me. It's the type of scream that I have never heard before. Someone turns on the light before the person has time to scream again.

I look around and Emma has toppled over the floor-a pool of blood surrounding her. She has a butter knife in her eye.

I rush to her side. "Shh... It's okay," I say, but I don't sound like myself. I sound like Peeta. I remember when I used to have nightmares and he would stay with me. 'Always' he said. Peeta was so nice, so good, so pure. But the capital and the games destroyed him. I don't want anything to destroy Emma-no matter how bad a person she is.

"Regina, go get help!" I shout at her. I befriended Regina when we arrived at Dauntless.

She rushes out the room and I go back to Emma. "It's okay. You're gonna be okay."

I look at Peter who had a smile tugging across his face. But then his expression becomes serious as he is overcome what I can only describe as guilt.

He did it.

I give my attention back to Emma. "Can you with me until the doctor comes?"

I smile. "Of course." Always. That was what Peeta always said when I asked him to stay with me.

A while later some nurses come and they whisk Emma away. I go to the bathroom and try to wash the blood off my knees. I'm wearing shorts so no blood is on them. When I'm done scrubbing all the blood off me I grab as many paper towels as my hands can carry and spend the rest if the night cleaning blood off the night cleaning blood off the floor.

Tris gave us the day off because we had to witness what happened to Emma. She said that it was traumatic and that no one should have to go through that.

I decide that wandering around the compound is useless and will do me little to no good. I think about Emma, and how she was a wicked and evil person. But I also think about how good she was in combat and aim, and how useful she would have been in this war, and how no matter how horrible a person is they don't deserve what she got.

I think about why she got exactly. I remember crouching down next to her-telling her it was going to be okay. I remember the look Peter have her, and the guilty look he had on his face afterwords. And how with that I knew he did it. I decide I need to tell someone about it.

Before I know where I am going I realize that my feet have brought me to Fours apartment. I knock on the door. He opens and gives me a forced smile.

"Hi Four. I need to talk to you." He nods and let's me into his apartment. "I think Peter did it."

"You think?" I furrow my eyebrows. "We don't want to hear your crazy antics about how you think Peter did it. Do you have any actual proof?"

"Well, no, but-" he cuts me off.

"Then I suggest you keep it to yourself. What makes you think that you can blame one of my initiates?"

"Because I saw him right afterwords and he-" I get interrupted again.

"No. Peter would not do that. Not again." He mutters the last part so quietly that I almost don't hear it.

Again? I decide not to ask him about it.

"But, Four, you just lost one of you top fighters. Don't you care at all?!?!" I jump up out of my seat, angered.

"Of course I care!" He sounds mad, but he looks hurt. "Why are you here anyways? Why do you care? As far as I know you hated Emma!"

"Four, how do you expect to win a war with now only four trainees and six with experience-Peter included, even though he can barely remember anything! How are we going to win this war?! It's not possible, Four! It's just not!"

It's the first time that this has occurred to me. In fact, I didn't even occur to me till after I said it.

"Who's going to help us? We can't fight on our own. And Marcus is probably putting together his own army as we speak." I say hushed because I don't feel like arguing with him anymore.

Disappointment fills his eyes as he says; "I don't know."

I leave without saying another word. What are we going to do?
