Can't Say Anything

Chapter 43:

Natalie's Perspective

   The man turns around and glares at me. "And what would that be?" he says. I can only see his eyes, and I would probably be less afraid if I could see his face.

    "You may kill me, but you will never kill my parents. They will kill all of you before you can even aim your puny guns at them." I spit. I hear a sniffle, and ignore it.

He laughs maliciously, and stares at me with cold eyes. "Last I checked, Marcus was the one who beat your pathetic little Daddy." he says. Pure silence. Pathetic? He thinks my Dad is pathetic? I am already on the edge, and this guy is just pushing me closer to the end.

    "Pathetic? HA! You think he's.....oh WOW!" I say laughing. "Yeah, pathetic! And a total smart alec at that." he says. How would he know that? "Oh yeah? How would you know? You know him don't you!" I say.

    "I am not here to have a conversation with you." he says, and walks back into the crowd. He has something against Dad. But what? The chains are digging into my wrists, ankles, and my stomach. I am forced to stand up and I have been standing for hours.

A man points to two others, a short one and a tall one. "You two stay here, and guard her." he says. The men nod, and the others walk out. I hear whispering between the two. Why are they talking about me?

    "If you have something to say about me, say it to my face." I spit. I am tired of their smart mouths, and annoying malicious laughs. They continue to whisper to each other about two feet away from me. "When will my extraction start?" I say casually because I am bored as heck. 

I am going to have my powers extracted from me, and then I'll be executed a couple hours after that. The short one clears their throat, and says, "Uh, eight thirty I think." It's a girl speaking. I sigh, knowing that these two are gonna have to keep me company.

    "Great, just great. Well, I have about an hour left so, what are your names?" I say. I have no idea why I am making small talk with my hunters, but it won't matter anymore. I'm finished.

     "To-" starts the tall one, but the short one slaps them in the arm. Mom used to do that to Dad when he'd 'secretly' speak seductively to her. They start whispering again. "Come on guys. Your secret identities don't matter to me. I'm gonna die, so I won't even remember your names." I say.

If only I could be at home, sleeping in Mom's lap like I was supposed to be. Then the short one aims a gun at the camera in the corner in the room, and I stand there. "What the heck?" I say. The short one rips off her mask, and her face is revealed.

    "Mom?" I say shakily. The tall one runs over to the door, and looks out the window and runs back over to me and rips his mask off.

    "Dad?" I say shakily. How-what-WHAT? Mom takes my beaten face in her hands and starts crying. "Oh, Natalie." she says, her finger brushing over my bruised cheek. It stings a little, but I'm too shocked. She hugs me, and I wince.

   "Oh gosh, are you hurt?" she says. I nod, and bite my swollen lip. "Where?" she says. "Everywhere." I reply, tears in my eyes. Dad kisses me between the eye brows, and he starts to cry. "Daddy..." I whisper. He stares at me.

    "Natalie, oh gosh." he whispers. He steps back and stares at my beaten and bleeding arms and legs. He buries his face in his hands. "My father...did this...." he says. Mom starts to fiddle with the chains, and groans.

    "Can't you melt them off?" she says. I shake my head. "We need to hurry, they're gonna notice that one of their cameras have been shot." she says. I can't believe that she's really here. I can't believe that they are here.

    "I have missed you so much, I am so sorry." Dad says. Everything in my body hurts. I feel like my lungs have collapsed, my face has literally been torn to shreds, and my arms and legs feel as if someone beat them with a hammer repeatedly.

Mom steps aside and Dad stands in front of me, and aims the gun at me. "Dad, what are you doing?" I say. He shoots, and the gun hits the chain on my right arm, and my body sags. My eye sight must be really jacked up because he was aiming the gun two feet away from me.

He shoots the left one on my arm, and I fall forward. Mom catches me, and holds me up. I wish I could hold myself up, but I can barely breathe. I hear two more, and a huge pressure is released from my ankles.

    "Dad...." I whisper. He pulls me up onto his back, and I yell out in pain. "Mommy!" I yell out. "I'm right here, sweetheart." she says, putting her hand on my side. I slightly wince, and Dad swings open the door. It was unlocked?

I hear yelling, and I can hear Mom crying. I hear more gunshots, and I shake around yelling out every time my rib rubs up against Dad's back. He's not going down the stairs anymore, and he stops dead in his tracks.

I look over his shoulder and see a whole bunch of guns aimed at us. We are outside. I hear a whole bunch of the bullets clicking into the chamber. I scream out and throw myself over Dad's shoulder, screaming the whole time. They're gonna shoot us......

    "NATALIE!!!" the both of them scream. I land on my side, and throw my hands into the air and shoot. I hear gunshots go off, and a lot of screams. I continue to scream as my rib digs into broken glass. I don't stop flameshooting until I don't hear anymore gunshots.

I wake up from the simulation.

Tris' Perspective

    "And what would that be?" the man says. Before Natalie can even speak, they inject her with something. I almost yell out her name, but I bite down hard on my tongue. Tobias squeezes my hand, and I see Natalie jerking around. She's in a simulation.

Facing her fears? What kind of serum was that? More tears fall from my face as I hear her ear piercing scream. I taste blood. Probably from biting so hard on my tongue. "What kind of serum was that?" I hear Tobias ask,

    "It makes her pick up from whatever happened before she was injected. Then she sees what she wants to happen, so in a way she's controlling it. But she won't realize she's in a simulation, even if she is Divergent." the man says. I've never heard of that kind of serum.

Tobias' grip on my hand loosens, and I let go. Tobias nods. "ALRIGHT EVERYBODY OUT!" someone shouts from the door. I want to stay here, but I know if I do the both of us will be killed.

They push us from Natalie as she stands there, still chained up. Tears are falling from my face as I lock hands with Tobias as we walk from the room.  His palms are sweaty, and I can feel calluses on his hands. "You two!" someone shouts at us. We let go.

    "I need you two to go and prepare the Lab for her extraction." the man says. We both nod. "Where the hell is the lab?" Tobias whispers. "I have no idea." I whisper back. I scan the windows in the doors looking for some type of lab equipment or something.

I look in one last door, and see a weird bed and some equipment next to it. I stop and stare into the window. "I found it." I whisper. I open the door and he follows me in.

It was all a simulation in Natalie's Perspective! But Tris' Perspective left off when Natalie smart-mouthed that guy. I'm pretty sure you already knew that though. I'm gonna update as soon as I can! Don't forget to vote and comment! :)
