Shortly after Four and Peter left, I realised that he left the door open. Was that a part of why Four nodded his head?
I decided to get as much rest for now as it's probably midnight. There's nothing I can do before my death in 3 days other than think about my life and plan what I would have wanted to do if I were to live on rather than be tested on.

My thoughts are interrupted as I hear footsteps enter the room. Thanks god Four is here otherwise I would-

But it's not Four. It's a tall slim girl with long brown dreadlocks and deep brown eyes. She has very few tattoos and she wears all black like the others. I recognise her as Tori from Eric's gang. She has an intimidating stare with her dark eyes. She holds a small briefcase; I gulp. Is this a part of the 'warning'?

I sit silent, sweat beads forming on my forehead as she walks to me and sits down, dropping the briefcase in front of her. She opens the bag revealing some wipes and bandages. A first aid kit.

She takes out her disinfectant and begins to talk.
"I suppose you're not in the best state right now." Wow... She's nice... Like Four.
I shake my head, agreeing to her answer but I stay silent.
Tori dabs the wipe on my face wounds and I hiss in pain, biting my lip to prevent a grown from coming out.
"You don't have to hide the pain. I'm here." I'm taken back by her statement. She continued to wipe my face but I ignore the pain; I'm too focused on what she said.
I decide to speak for once. "... You're not a dick like them."
She shakes her head. "Nope. Not what you expected, huh?"
"Not at all. But why?"
"Why what ?"
"I mean why are you a part of this gang or whatever if you're the complete opposite to them. Like, are you even meant to help me?"
She puts down the bloodied wipe, a sigh escaping her mouth. "The same reason as everybody else."
I scoff. "Why is that? To use somebody for a damn product and get rid of them? People like Eric and Jeanine are cowards. People who follow them are cowards."
Tori stays silent while she bandages my wounds. "Your rib will hurt for a while. Let it heal."
"There's no point in waiting," I shake my head. "I'm dead in the next 3 days. So why try to survive?"
Tori looks at me in the eye. "You're going to want to try. Believe me."
"Why?" I ask rather harshly.
"You will see when the time comes."
"What's going to happen?"
"You sure ask a lot of questions."
I sigh, giving up. "Fine."

We sit in silence as she checks the dark bruise on my jaw. Tori inspects it then shakes her head.
"Peter sure is the aggressive type."
I shrug. "He's more than aggressive at school. He's violent as fuck." I shudder at the thought of Peter's daily torture.

Another minute of silence passes and I think of Four. He's like Tori; calm and caring. I want to ask Tori about Four. But will that make me seem like I like him? I don't care; I want to find out more about him.
I clear my throat. "Um... Tori?"
"Mhm?"
"Do you know a person from this place called... Um... Four?" I get shivers at the sound of his name. Before it was just a number to me, now it's more than that.
Tori nods; I see the corner of her mouth twitch into a slight curl.
"Yes. What about him?"
"Um... What's up with him?"
"There's something wrong with everybody. What do you mean?"
"Why.... Um... Why are you and Four so different from the others?"
"Like I said, you'll find out when the time comes."
I roll my eyes, a frustrated sigh forced out my mouth. "But why not now?"
"If I tell you, we will all die soon." I furrow my brows but decide to let it go.
"Fine. But this 'time' better be soon. I want answers."
"Of course."

I realise the topic about Four has slipped, so I decide to try again.
"Let me ask you this. Why is Four so... Complicated... Mysterious?" I know I just used the wrong words. Well done, Tris.
"That's just him. Don't worry, Tris, you'll get to his soft side soon." She winks and I blush so hard I know I look like a tomato. Tori laughs which is follows by me chuckling. She isn't so bad.
Tori continues, "I've known him since high school days. He's never really been caring about anyone."
"Maybe that changed."
"Really? I've noticed that nothing about him has changed."
"Well you know him better than I do, so I'm more likely to be wrong."
Tori pauses for a couple seconds then smirks. My eyes widen a little, hoping that she won't make me blush.
"Do you like him?" That question hit me and I feel my cheeks burn up rapidly.
I vigorously shake my head. "No! No! I've only known him for a while, Tori, I wouldn't like someone that quick." I blurt out.
Tori chuckles, "Stop, or your head'll fall off." Now I wish my bruises were near my cheeks to hide the blush that was intensifying.

Tori packs her briefcase and closes it.
"I'll have to scram, it's past 1am and Eric'll screw me up if he find out that I was here. Don't tell anybody that I aided your wounds." Tori whispers as she gets up, wiping the dust off her leggings.
I nod and whisper, "Doesn't Eric keep an eye on me though? Like by walking past or having guards?"
"They're trying to fix their surveillance system. Trying to install cameras outside."
"What about those cameras? I heard they were broken." I stretch my finger to the four cameras pointing at me at each corner of the room.
Tori stretches her arms and replies, "Nobody kept track of these cameras, so they shut them down."
I roll my shoulders back, groaning at the stiffness I have.
Tori turns and walks away, but suddenly stops midway and turns her head to me with a lips curled into a small smile. "Nice meeting you, Tris. Good luck with Four." She winks and scurries off, closing the door. The screeching sound isn't as loud as before. How does she do that?

I stretch my legs out, a heavy yawn escaping my mouth. My parents are definitely worried sick by now. I've been gone out longer than my curfew. Sigh.

I lay back, my ribs aching with pain. I ignore the pain the best I can, shuffling and turning around to try and get into a comfortable position.

My eyes droop closed slowly and darkness takes over my vision. One question that repeats in my mind is...

... What will happen when this 'time' comes?

Before I can ponder about it, my exhaustion beats me to it and soon I'm lost in a deep dark slumber.
