I can feel the water quickly filing the tank rising up my calves, my thighs, my waist. I have to think of something. Panic clouds my brain, but my heart tells me what I need to do. The water climbs up my arms as I scream for Tobias. The injection has made him hate me, but maybe I can use that to my own advantage. When your vision is clouded by hate, nothing can stand in your way. 

I listen for the sound of running but all I hear is the water gushing in through the pipe. It's up to my kneck now. I don't have much time. I start to hyperventilate despite my efforts to remain calm, using up precious air too fast. My body gives up and my limbs slacken just as a hard wieght thows its self against my tank, smashing it on the floor.

I pull myself to my feet and asses the damage, the water from the tank has spilled through onto the system controlling the Dauntless. They are free from the enchantment!! My yell of joy turns into one of despair as I see Tobias lying on the floor surrounded by smashed glass, the longest peice piercing his heart. I run to him and press my lips to his, but feel no breath.

Hes dead, and it's all my fault. If I hadn't raised his annimated anger, this never would have happened. I stary to fall back to the floor but am caught up in my mothers arms as she leads the Dauntless and Erudite against the corrupt leaders of Dauntless.

Out numbering their opposition greatly, Natalie's army gains ground and finally wins with only a few casualties of their own. It is a triumph, a victory, but all I can think as Fall to the floor screaming, is that my true love is dead.

And I was the one to kill him.
