"I want a gun on her at all times," says Eric. "Not just aimed at her. On her."

A Dauntless man pushes a gun barrel into the back of my neck. It forms a cold circle on my skin. I lift my eyes to Eroc. His face is red, and his eyes are watering.

"What's the matter, Eric?" I say, raising my eyebrows. "Afriad of a little girl?"

"I'm not stupid," He says, pushing his hands through his hair. "That little-girl act may have worked on me before, but it won't again. You're the best attack dog they've got." He leans closer to me. "Which is why I'm sure you'll be put down soon."

I just met his eyes and spit a wad of spit I had been gathering in my mouth at him. It hits him in the eyes. I was aiming for his cheek, but this is much better.

He snarls and punches me across the face.

My head is flung side ways as a flash of white hot pain fills me. My vision darkens a little, and I touch my hand to my throbing cheek.

He wipes away some of my spit from his face and turns to the elevator.

One of the elevator doors opens, and a Dauntless soldier shoves Uriah - whose lips are stained with blood toward the short row of Divergent. Uriah glances at me, but I can't read his expression well enough to know if he succeeded or failed. If he's here, he probably failed. Now they'll find all the Divergent in the building, and most of us will die.

Eric paces in front of us and opens his mouth to say something but shuts it when gunfire sounds from down the hall. He pulls out his own gun and steps into a defensive stance.

A bloodied soldier in black stumbles down the hall. A blue armband tied around his sleeve. He falls to his knees in front of Eric, and a puddle of blood already starts to form. "They're coming..." He tumbles sideways, his eyes glazed over.

Eric mutters some curses and then turns to face the line of Divergent. He speaks to the Dauntless, holding a gun to my neck. "Take the Divergent back to Erudite headquarters. We can deal with them there. Take some other soldiers with you."

The man grabs me by the collar and starts to heave me to my feet. Eric puts a hand out. "Leave her here."

The man drops me back to my knees, and his gun is replaced by Eric's. The man and several other Dauntless quickly round up the Divergent- including Uriah - and shove them up the stairwell.

Eric smiles at me a little bit at me. "Now, who do you think it could be racing down that hall? Could it be a strong headed but idiotic Four?"

I just look down at the blood-stained concrete. I don't meet his eyes because I know he's probably right.

"Now, do you think Four is alone?" Eric says, his voice almost excited at the prospect of Four coming here.When I don't respond he says, "Now I told you I'd put you down, but I forgot to mention that I would also be putting down your boyfriend." Eric pulls me off my knees and pulls me in front of him like I'm a human shield, keeping the gun pressed to my temple.

Finally, after what feels like an eternity of waiting, a group of black clothed people turn the corner into this hallway. Leading the pack of people is Tobias.

The second Tobias's eyes meet with mine, they widen slightly and then flick to Eric.

Eric tightens his grip a bit. "Nice of you too, finally join us, Four."

Tobias brought along with him a huge group of loyal Dauntless- I count at least three dozen. He mutters something to them, and most turn back and head the direction they came from. Now it's just mee. Eric, Tobias, and Marlene.
