SHAME ON ME

______________________________

"Tobias." I say. He stares back at me like he doesn't know who I am. That he's just looking at some unknown stranger.

Shauna was looking at the Dauntless and looks back at me. Her eyes were beginning to fill with tears. "Zeke." she says under her breath. Christina runs over to us.

"They are going to kill us." she says quietly but her expression showed fear. I tighten my grip onto Lynn. Then I look over to Tobias again.

"Let her go." he says, sternly.

I shake my head. "I'm not letting go." A tear slips down my face. "I can't."

"Tris let go." he says.

I take a deep breath. "No."

I pull with all my strength and so does Shauna. Then Christina comes in behind me and helps. Lynn gets up onto the ground again, and her eyes pierce mine.

"What happened?" she asks.

"We can't explain right now. Everyones under simulation."

I slowly walk forward to the mass of people. I could die right now. All it takes is one shot, one bullet and this will all be over, everything will be over. I walk infront of Tobias and whisper, "You don't have to do this." I take one of his hands and hold it in mine not caring that the others are standing behind me.

Then he shows some sort of sympathy which gives me some kind of hope.
He's back, I say to myself.
But then his expression changes back to the Tobias I no longer know and all the hope is vanished.

"Please." I say tears filling my eyes. "I know you're in there."

Then he looks up to me and stays silent.

I shake my head in some sort of confusion. This isn't over, it's not over. This isn't real. "No its not." I take a deep breath. "This isn't you, this isn't how it's supposed to be. Just wake up Four, wake up."

His eyes pierce mine and we just stand there looking at eachother. Water fill my eyes but I don't cry. Then he speaks and lightly pushes me away, "Tris, stop."

I walk back to Lynn, Shauna and Christina. "Look, I'm going to do something and when I say run, run as fast as you can, anywhere but here. Okay? I'll find you guys later."

Christina looks at me, "Something bad can happen Tris."

I shake my head, "Just run okay?"

She nods her head, and fear slips onto her face but, I advance close to the crowds of people. "Fine, you want me to go to Jeanine? Fine."

"Good." Tobias says. "The rest of you can go, we need two aimed on her."

Two Dauntless I haven't seen before step beside me and we walk forward. Tobias doesn't look at me, he keeps his eyes darted forward. This isn't him, I say to myself. Just a few more steps. 

I stay in my place, and the Dauntless look at me, "Let's go." 

I shake my head. "I'm not going anywhere." I cross my arms over my chest.

"Tris." Tobias says. His eyes stare at mine. It's like seeing another side of him, except it's not really him. It's just him in a simulation because, the real Tobias wouldn't do this. He wouldn't deport me to Jeanine, have me killed or whatever she's going to do.

"You heard me." I say and add, " And you know, if you really cared, you wouldn't do this."

Maybe the guilt trip would work. He steps closer to me, until were face to face. 

Then I yell, "Run!" and I see Lynn, Shauna and Christina run in the corner of my vision and I punch as hard as I can right in Tobias's face, and make a run for it.

I push myself forward, and I don't think anyone is chasing me but then the guns go off behind me. The bullets shoot right pass me, close to my side, my legs but none hitting. 

Just a bit further, I tell myself.

I lunge forward to a building wall, and that's when I hear people running behind me. but then I see someone looking over the side, a dauntless. He aims his gun and shoots but slide to the ground and pull his leg with all my strength and he falls. He drops his gun and I pick it up as fast as I can before he can reach for it, then I kick him in the face as hard as I can a couple times so it's diffcult for him to get up for a while. I don't want to kill him because, I know this isn't how people are really acting. This isn't really them.  

I just keep running and running to the apartment but, I get winded and pushed to the ground. When I look to the side to see who pushed me down, I see Tobias. I notice my gun is out of my hands and was flung across the ground. 

Tobias gets up quick and I try to ignore the pain in my leg but, he pushes me back down. I kick his leg with mine and he looks startled for a second but anger reaches his face and I know he's mad. I get up as fast as I can when I see him running for the gun. I run to him and about to punch him in the face but he grabs my wrist.

I tug as hard as I can but his grasp is so tight I can't escape. "Stop." I say attempting to pull away my arm.

"Let go!" I scream. I kick him again but, he doesn't budge.

"Why do you have to be so stubborn?" he asks.

"Let go, please. Tobias." he stares at me and pulls me forward and we're walking. "We're going" he says.

I stop in my spot but he pulls my arms so hard that I just slide. "Why are you doing this, huh? You would've never done this. Because, you're under some stupid simulation you're willing to kill me Tobias? Your own girlfriend?"

He doesn't say anything. "Please." I beg, and tears start spilling down my face. "Just stop, stop. Please, just hear me."

He stops and lets go of my wrist. "This doesn't have to happen." I say quietly. "Let's just go back."

"But Jeanine-" he says

"It's not what you chose to do. She made you do it."

He shakes his head, "We have to go."

"Tobias, no." I take a few steps back. "Stop it." He emerges closer but, I take a run for it. I run as fast as I can and I hear his footsteps behind me.

He's not waking up. He's going to send me to Jeanine and I'm going to die. I sprint as fast as I can. But, then I don't hear anyone behind me. I stop and turn around. He's standing a few feet away from me. I don't know if this is some sort of game. Where he's going to come out and grab me and bring me to Jeanine, I don't know.

I stare at him waiting for a response and then he says, "Tris?" 

I gasp for air. He's back. I run forward to him and he puts his arms around me. "What happened?" he asks.

"You were under simulation." I say. 

"Did I hurt you?" he asks, and then his eyes connect with mine. 

I shake my head no. Does he not remember? But, I choose not to tell him because, I know what he'd hold against himself, although it wasn't truly him. 

"We have to go." I say, taking his hand.

"Why?"

"They're coming after me. We have to leave now. But, we have to go get Shauna, Lynn and Christina first."

"Well, where are they?"

I turn my head and say, "I don't know."
