Tris POV
I dream that night. I am forced to stand in a glass container and I see my parents, Will, Marlene, Lynn, Tori and Al. They are all smiling and waving at me. Then bullets out of nowhere whizz by and they all collapse, blood flows around and I scream. Water starts to flow up around me and I kick the glass. It doesn't break, even with my will that I am stronger. Tears are in my eyes and I sink to the bottom, my lungs gasping for air. My stomach hurts and my eyes sting from the tears and the water.
I gasp loudly and awaken. My face is damp again. It is still dark outside. Tobias stirs and opens his eyes too.
"Tris?" He whispers and turns on the lamp by my bed.
My breaths are deep and heavy, and I shake my head.
"Bad dream." I mutter.
He looks at my pillow, it is wet with my tears. He sits up and cups my cheeks, taking the moisture off.
"Does this happen often?" He asks.
"Yea almost every night." I say, still breathing heavily. Beads of sweat form at the top of my head.
"Would it help to tell me about it?" He whispers.
"Just bad memories." I say quietly.
"I'm sorry." He pulls me towards him. I focus on his breathing, inhaling and exhaling when he does to steady my heart rate.
"Just close your eyes, I'll fight off the nightmares." He says.
"With what?" I chuckle.
"My hands of course!" He replies.
LINEBREAK
The next days fly by, and before I know it, it's time for the final test.
Jacob injects the serum, "Ready Tris?"
"Yeah." I whisper and close my eyes.
I step into the fear landscape room. The ground beneath me changes into grass. A couple squawks sound from above. Great. More crows.
Talons slice into my skin and I need them off. How did I gain control last time? Oh yeah.
A cold metal gun appears as my hands search the grass and I fire simultaneously, killing crow after crow. The scene fades away and I am in a glass box again. Without hesitation, I take a deep breath and touch the glass, thinking of the stim. The water is up to my waist when I see the glass shatter.
I move on but I can't. I look down to see a pile of logs and the smell of smoke. I look down at my hands; they are connected with rope.
"Beatrice, smell that?" I look up and see Caleb.
"Caleb." I ignore the burn as he lights the logs
"Yeah, mom and dad never wanted to leave us, so I'm doing you one last favor." he cackles.
"Nah," I look up and see a thundercloud. "I'm not gonna die today. I smell rain."
A rain cloud hovers above me and pours all over, drenching my body and putting out the fire.
The scene changes, and I see ghosts of figures floating toward me. One has a face of Will, the others are Al, Lynn, and Marlene.
"Tris." Will whispers, "why did you do it?"
"You could've forgiven me. I am a coward." Al cries
"You could've saved us." Marlene and Lynn whisper.
I understand what I'm afraid of now. I am afraid of facing my friends that I've hurt or betrayed.
"I had to." I choke.
