"I would rather die than betray Tobias!" I yell at the top of my lungs at him. He's standing in the doorway of my cell like he does every day, when he comes to take me to Jeanine for further testing, like he does every day. But today I am not going with him to Jeanine. No, today he has come for something else...
"Would you rather him die?!"
"You can't do anything to him, Jeanine won't allow you to harm him," I remind him, a touch of victory on my lips.
"Oh, no?" He pulls a small device from his pocket, taps on it a few times and then turns it to me showing me what it has to reveal. It is Tobias, surrounded by five Dauntless Traitors. He is unarmed and they have guns pointed at him. He is trapped and there is nothing he can do about it..
But there is something I can do...
"No". A voice in my head says, "He would never want that, even for his life." But wouldn't he understand? "Maybe eventually, but he would never trust you in the same way." I am having a back-and-forth argument with myself where there is no winner. Everything I say, she counters. Everything she says, I counter. No winner. No right answer.
"These soldiers are under my command, all I have to do is tell them to shoot," he turns his head showing me an earpiece, "and they will." Is it really that simple for him? To shed someone's blood so easily?
"Fine," I whisper, defeated.
A cruel smile spreads across his lips. Lips, that I find a moment later crashing into mine. I don't kiss him back, I only tolerate his lips against mine. A small act if defiance I hope he recognizes. When he breaks the kiss he winks at me and turns to leave. Just like that, Marco is gone.
Marco, who just black-mailed me into kissing him. Marco, who took Peter's place as my personal escort. Peter tried to break me out the day I was scheduled to die. He switched the death serum with the paralyzing serum and tried to take my limp body to Tobias but was caught on the way. I haven't seen Peter since. It's probably stupid to worry about him since I am supposed to hate him but that is hard to do when he saved my life and tried to break me out. I never even got to ask why he did it.
