Divergent: Dead By Daylight

Chapter 9

Tris' POV

I am on the ground and shaking madly with fear.

Peter and I had been cautiously making our way back to Tobias and Christina together with the medkit from down in the basement. I had agreed to let Peter use half of it already, seeming he had asked me of it and he had gotten to the basement before me so it was only fair.

What we weren't prepared for though was the sight of Eric, just outside the tower building.

Eric had spotted us instantly through the large hole in the brick wall of the building and had immediately started for us. Peter and I had ran for the opening on the other side of the tower building, hoping to escape, but Eric had met us there.

His tactics had been so skillfully planned out and he had trapped us.

He could only go after one of us though and he had chosen Peter, who instantaneously then gave me the medkit.

Eric thankfully hadn't noticed the exchange of the medkit between us but everything had happened all so fast. Peter had took off and Eric had pursued in his direction only seconds afterwards.

I had ran in the opposite direction and out the backdoor where I then had then tripped because of my speed being too fast and was now lying on the ground.

I didn't know what to think anymore.

What if Peter isn't able to escape Eric?

Suddenly though I hear a familiar voice and some footsteps approaching me at a running speed.

"Tris!"

I look up to see Tobias, his eyes wide and worried-looking.

"T-Tobias!" I wheeze as I sit up now, my arms and knees aching from the harsh fall I took.

"What happened to you?" Is his first question as he thrusts himself down onto the ground with me, his hands going to my shoulders and his forehead finding mine.

"I-I.. W-We were coming..." I couldn't help but stammer. There was so much to say and so little time to say it in.

"What? Where's Eric?" Tobias then asks, his fingers now lacing between mine and his eyes still pinning me for answers.

I swallow hard and try to steady my voice. "I-I went to the basement and met up with Peter." I didn't know where else to begin.

At Peter's name Tobias just gives me a look. "Peter? What was he doing down there?"

I bite my lip and hurriedly continue. "He had the medkit I had come for a-and he was injured. He needed it for himself. W-We then decided for us to split it. So he took half and then gave me the rest for you and Christina." I explain, my heartbeat still thrumming madly.

"Half?" Tobias instantly repeats as if he were disappointed with the news.

I then just hold up the medkit that was still clenched within one of my hands. He takes it and opens it next to reveal a limited bundle of supplies.

"Well it'll have to do for now." He then mutters rather not content. "So I'm guessing Eric took off after Peter then?"

I nod slowly in reply. The scene was replaying within my mind all too fast over and over again. The moment had been a blur. "H-He could have easily went for me but for some reason he chose Peter...?" I then state, my mind still questioning why he'd want Peter over me.

"I-I mean I had saved Christina.. and you helped us escape... Why wouldn't he want me?" I continue with my eyebrows furrowing over the situation.

"Well now's not the time to worry about Eric's motivations and intentions. We need to go help Christina." He then instructs, and just at her name I am quickly reminded.
