Divergent High

Ch.7

<<<<<Fours Dream>>>>>

I am on a ladder, across two buildings. There is no railings. I look down and wish I hadn't. I am at least 1000 feet above ground.

I start to hyperventilate and get lightheaded. I. Cant. Fall. I don't know how to get away. Then I look to the side and see a small window.

I take one step forward. creeaak. The ladder shifts slightly and I start breathing heavy. I can do this. I take one more step. cruuunch. a piece of stone falls from the sill.

'I'm ok' I repeat to myself. I can do this. One more step. A high pitch squeak comes from the end and I start running, and breathing lightly and quickly. I am about to get inside the window, when the ladder starts falling. Shoot. I reach for the sill as the ladder falls from underneath my feet.

My fingers grasp the edge of the sill and it continues to crumble. I pull up with my other arm, and crawl through. I see nothing but gray walls and blinding white lights. Then it's dark. I feel walls closing in around me and I start to hyperventilate for the five millionth time here.

They press against me, and I feel around for anything to help. Then my hand grasp something as the walls press into my back and head, forcing me to crouch down. I grab the object and find a pointy end. Its a crowbar.

I'm saved. I shove the end under the wall and pull on it, the wall comes tumbling down, and I'm in the hub. A woman with straight blonde hair and glasses stands beside me. "Shoot her." she says, and I grab a gun.

I turn to see a woman, whom I do not know, and she is smiling at me. She is tied to a chair. "Shoot her." the woman says again. I shouldn't. But it's the only way to get out. I load the gun, and hold it at the blonde woman. "No." I say, and shoot her in the head.

She drops to the ground. I turn around to be greeted by Tris' room. She lays on her bed, shirt off. "Tris" I attempt to say, but no words come out.

"You worthless piece of crap! Get over here!" I hear her father yell. Oh no. Her father walks in. He unloops his belt. "You little spoiled brat! You have no reason to live."! He screams.

I try to move, but no limbs will. "Come here." he says. She walks over, and her face is full of worry. "LAY DOWN!" He screams, and pushed her to the floor. I struggle to move so much. I can't do anything!

He takes his belt out, and starts whipping her back repeatedly. "TRIS!" I am screaming, which is all I can do now. He continues to whip her and she screams out every time. No. This can't be real. But it feels like reality.

Finally, he stops, and slips the bloody belt inside his belt loops. He walks away, and locks the door behind him. My stiffened joints suddenly start moving and I run over to Tris. Tears stream down her face, and soon drip down mine.

"You are going to be ok!" I say into her ear, and she slightly smiles, but winces.

"Come on Tris." I coo, and drag her into my arms. She yells and guilt bangs me. I lay her onto her bed and she whispers in my ear, "I never. Wanted to. Leave you." and she lays her head down. Not moving.

She's dead. She is dead. She's dead. "NNNOOO" I scream. She died in my arms. I can't take it.

It's all my fault
<<<< End dream>>>>

I wake with sweat drenching my face and the blankets sprawled everywhere.
Mom stands in my doorway, a horrid look on her face.

"Mom. It's the four fears." I mutter. She comes over and hugs me. It all comes rushing back again.

<<<<Flashback>>>>
"It has to happen. He is possibly a certifiable genius. We have to." the doctor says. "My little boy does not need to be scared to death! He doesn't deserve torture." My mom yells.

I cower back, afraid of the people.

"This child could be the literally be the key to our existence!" The doctor says harshly. I don't want to be scared. I am only ten. "Fine! He gets one round. Then my child will never see you again!" Mom screams back.

My eyes widen in fear. I don't want to do a 'fear landscape'. Its going to be terrifying. I have to face my fears. I don't want to.

But I have too for the people. They said I could be the key to existence. I have to do it once.

"Ok, Tobias? Follow me." a nurse says as she drags me behind her. I look back at my mom and she looks at me with pity. "You will be ok." she mouths, before I am pulled into the fear sim room.

Next chapter will be still in the flashback.
