At first all that I see is the darkness, because my eyelids were closed, they still felt heavy. Everything at first is echoed. My heart is pounding and my lungs burn I have to- I took a deep gasping breath in. I try to steady my breathing out as I open my eyes. The spots in my vision are fading. I still feel dizzy, and my body still feels heavy. I'm in a different room, it's blue but it's a paler blue. What's waking me up though, is the sound of fighting. I heard something that sounded like a gunshot go off. I stumbled to my feet. I stumble to this room. I see the scene. Jeanine was standing there sort of, but blood was pouring out her leg. Tris was pointing a gun at Tori who was in the floor, with blood on her chin. I frowned some as I stepped forward. Tris was trying to convince Tori not to kill Jeanine, and that the information we needed was on the computer that was there. Tori it's true. I said stepping up she glared over at me shaking her head. I knew, when they said they couldn't find you, you had switched sides. I shook my head. Why would I help the people who want me and my kind dead? Tris was begging Tori to just wait. I thought for just a moment, that she is going to listen to Tris. Nothing, is more important than her death. I frowned some as I understood Tori on a new level. In my book after this, nothing was more important than revenge on the ones who helped and killed Eric. If that's what you insist upon believing. Tris says. I can't help you. But I'm also not going to let you kill her. Tori started wiping blood from her chin, blood that I assume to be Tris's as her hand is bleeding. I am a Dauntless leader. Tori snapped sitting up. You don't get to decide what I do. My stomach twisted. Tori was a hard ass, but even this was a bit extreme for her. But before anyone can do anything, she grabbed a knife from her boot and shoved the blade into Jeanine's stomach. The noise that came from Jeanine wasn't exactly pleasant. one down, two to go. I think as she drops to the floor. When Tori stands back up, to her normal height I see someone who looks like Tori, but she seems a little more wild- Crazed almost. My stomach twisted.

Not much times passes before the doors open again, and Uriah and Four were storming in, prepared for a fight probably, but there was no fight. Only a dead body, a triumphant leader-if you can call her that- and two traitors. The word in my head felt weird, I wasn't actually a traitor. I didn't want Jeanine alive, I wanted the information first, but if Tori hadn't killed her, I would have. So I wasn't a traitor... Right? I watch Four stumbled some what, he had only noticed Tris. She's a traitor. She just almost shot me to defend Jeanine. Tori spat I shook my head. What? Uriah muttered looking at Tris. Tris, what's going on? Is she right? Why are you even here? She didn't really answer Uriah and Tori shook her head. I TOLD you. She's a traitor!That is a fucking lie! And you know it! I spat back, but Four didn't listen the only ones who did, was Tori and Uriah. Oh like I'd listen to- Kacie why are you here?!? It's obvious Uriah! Tori snapped and I frowned some. Eric was her brother, she's just like him! Get my brother's name out of your mouth! I snapped trying to step closer but Uriah grabbed my shoulder. We all three turned as Four had stepped closer to Tris. They had been enthralled with their own conversation. He still hadn't noticed I was here, when I had meant to be with his attack group. I trusted you. He muttered, he was shaking. I felt a frown form. I trusted you and you abandoned me to work with him? I felt a small smile start to display on my face. I had been so focused on how he had made me feel, in the last couple weeks, close to a month now, how I felt like he had abandoned me, I was so focused on finding a way to make him feel the same way, that I didn't even really realize I could have used Tris. But in a moment that was all put to the test. She came out and said it. I think- She pauses and I frown. What could she possibly be thinking? I think that you are the liar! I looked over to Uriah who was also shocked. You tell me you love me, you trust me, you think I'm more perceptive than the average person. And the first second that belief in my perceptiveness, that trust, that love is put to the test, it all falls apart. She's crying, but my stomach is twisting, and my throat is burning. For the first time I'm wondering if he actually manipulated everyone he cared about. So you must have, because I can't believe your love is really that feeble. She stepped closer to him, and that was the last of the conversation I heard.
