The secret life of Tobias's daughter

Chapter 7

I snap back to consciousness with me grabbing the edge of the steel walkway towards the pit. I look over to see Alex right next to me. I shouldn't have put him through this... His eyes are closed. I say "Alex it's me. Listen to me. Open your eyes. We need to either face our fears, or we need to slow down your heartbeat, and i'm afraid that I can hear yours from here." I say trying to be funny but he only gives a small, scared, chuckle. "Please open your eyes, for me." I say. He shakes his head and opens his eyes to look straight into mine. "I'm sorry I got you into this mess." I say looking down, but then realizing that it might not have been the best idea because I scream, causing Alex to let go of the steel path. He then realizes what he did and tries to reach for me and barely catches my ankle, which pulls me downward. The pain shoots through my leg like i'm getting stabbed a million times. I shriek. I then hear his voice. "You have been in this before, what do we do?" I think about my dad's words. 'Only think and do one thing at a time' and I think about being divergent just for the heck of it but think let's let Alex choose. "Dauntless or Divergent?" I say with my eyes slammed shut. He sounds confused "Divergent?" "Good choice." And with that I let go of the steelpath above me. I heard a scream from under me and a few curse words. "WHY WOULD YOU .... DO.... THAT?!?!" Alex screams."You said think like a divergent, and a divergent would have let go of the rail. So, I did." He then screams curse words into the air and I get tired of it to fast and grab his hand. He immediately stops and looks at me. "Don't let go." He says. I feel a tear run down my face and say "I won't as long as you don't." And when I say this, we crash into the water.

        The water slams me to the bottom of the ocean and I open my eyes hoping that I would find Alex, but see him swimming towards me. He grabs my arm and tries to pull but I shake my head no. I know what I need to do. I look for the lock and find it tied to my ankle. I think about swimming deeper and the ground underneath me disapears. I look into Alex's eyes and see fear. I already know what he is thinking 'NO DON'T DO IT 5' but I give him the sign to follow me. He shakes his head not in disagreement but in annoyance. I swim deeper and deeper until I feel like I have no breath left. I think of air and a scuba kit appears on my mouth and back. I breath the sweet air and then feel the lock disapear from my ankle. I look at Alex who has a shocked look on his face. I know where I have to go. I swim to the rocky wall and see the hole. I feel a tug at my shoulder. I look back to see Alex running out of air. I give him the face mask and he takes a few good breaths before giving me a thumbs up.

        We swim into the hole and the water disapears and we both have a coughing fit like we just drank 100,000,000,000 glasses of water in 10 minutes. He looks at me and says "Whats next?" Before I could answer, the walls start closing in. I panic. Then I feel his arms go around my waist. I try to fight it but I hear his whisper like sugar say "Don't panic only focus on the walls going outward." I close my eyes and imagine just that. As soon as I think about it, I hear a really loud screeching noise. I immediately knew that the walls were pushing outward instead of inward but then I started thinking about the walls inclosing and then I felt them right on top of me. I screamed and heard Alex say "Don't panic, that will only make it worse, here let's make the box as small as it could go by going smaller with it." I start doing his plan without telling him that it was a good plan. I instantly feel his body pressed against mine. I start to panic about it, but know that it will only make matters worse. I relax my body and go as small as my body would let me. As soon as I feel Alex's chest on my back, the walls disapear. I exhale. That was really awkward. I knew what was ahead of me and I dreaded it but I felt Alex's hand on mine and I knew I had him to keep me calm.

        I walk through the doorway to see a table with a gun and my dad sitting in a chair. Well here is where Alex finds out about my dad. "Why is Tobias sitting in a chair. I know that your fears go 1.Heights, 2.Drowning, 3.Tight spaces, but 4. i'm not too sure." He looks at me. I know I have to answer him so I tell him the truth. "There is a lot you don't know about me and you will find out who I really am and why my name is 5." I say this while walking over to the table and picking up the gun. Alex looks at me and says "When will I find out?" "Well, I will tell you in my apartment afterwards but right now I need to shoot him." I say while pointing the gun at my dad, but as always, before pulling the trigger, looking away. The gunshot fills the room and I have to hold back the tears when I see my dad laying in his own blood, on the floor, dead. I feel the atmosphere around me change and I straighten myself up to get prepared for what is coming. "The last fear is the worst fear, it is hidden in the deepest parts of the mind. So what you are about to witness is my worst fear..." I say while the clear box starts to build itself around us. "What is it?" Alex asks. "Fear of apperance to others." I say while the people fade in and they all start to stare at us. My pupils dialate and the whispers start. I crouch down.  'Look at her, she is so ugly' 'Look she looks scared, never knew that Tobias's daughter could be afraid' 'Tobias should be ashamed' 'Your training sucks!' 'She should've been in the death serum room instead of her mother, her mother would have been here today...' 'KILL YOURSELF' I scream knowing that it isn't over yet. My parents walk up to the box, shake their heads, and say "We are ashamed of what you have become." I feel the wetness on my cheeks, but then I feel Alex pick me up bridal style and kick the glass in causing it to shatter. He runs and runs and runs until I don't know where we are anymore. I then hear the whispers coming at me like World War III. "How do we stop the whispers?" Alex whispers in my ear, causing me to jump. "You have to find a way to block... them ....out..." I say pausing when he would kick his legs back. "I know where to go." He says and we run to a corner where we find two pairs of headphones and music players. I put the headphones on and put on my favorite song. I put the volume higher than I usually do and walk towards the whispers with knifes in hand and Alex by my side. As soon as I plan out what i'm going to do, I throw my knifes and they hit 4 people in the chests. I barely hear gunshots behind me. I grab my knifes struggling to get one out of someones chest. I walk towards a crowd of whispers, I no longer can hear and stab their knees and then their chests. When I throw my last knife at Male in his mid 40's, the simulation ends and I wake up to the ceiling of the simulation room.
