Falling Into Place

Chapter 44:

Tobias' Perspective

    This is the room where Natalie will be extracted, then executed. I gulp as I stare at the metal table. "What do we do?" Tris says.

I shrug my shoulders. There is a cart that has 2 syringes on it. One is purple, the other is a light blue. I recognize the purple as death serum, but I have never seen the blue, which I am assuming is the extraction serum.

I walk over to it, and pick up the glass bottle it's in. The shade of blue reminds me of Natalie's eyes, which will be a paler shade of blue after they inject it. The metal table has a huge light overhanging it, and chains hanging down the side of the bed.

    "I have no idea what to do...." Tris says. "Neither do I. It's not like-" I say, but I am interrupted but someone swinging the door open. They have cuffs in their hands, and Tris dives for them but they throw her on the ground and cuff her.

I yell out, but I am also thrown on the ground, and cuffed. My mask is ripped off, and I am yanked back onto my feet. "Alright, it's pretty clear who you two are." the one who has Tris cuffed says. 

    "What do we do with them?" the one who has me cuffed says. "I know exactly what to do with them." the other one says. I throw myself around, but it's pointless. They rip Tris' mask off as I am being pulled down the hallway where Natalie is.

They throw the door open, and toss us on the floor. Tris lands on top of me, and she grunts as she rolls off of me. I look up, and Natalie has her head hung low and she's crying. I fumble towards her, and scrape my hands and arm on the concrete.

    "Hey, it's me." I say as I sit in front of her. She looks up at me with those bright blue eyes. "I'm in a simulation aren't I?" she croaks. I turn to look at Tris and she's trying to get over to her. This would be much easier if we weren't cuffed.

I stick my foot out and hook it around the cuffs and drag her over. "Ow, that hurts..." she mumbles. "Sorry." I say. She looks at Natalie and starts to sob. I am kneeled in front of her, and want so badly to hold her face in my hands and tell her everything will be okay.

    "Natalie, it's not a simulation. Look at me." I say. She looks up at me, and cries harder. "But that's what happened last time." she says through sobs. "Natalie listen to me." Tris says. Natalie looks up at her and stops crying.

This is killing me to see both of them, their arms chained up and crying. Especially one with a beaten up face. "What?" Natalie says. "This isn't a simulation. We are really here." she says. "HOW CAN I BELIEVE YOU?" Natalie shouts.

Tris starts crying and I am trying as hard as I can to not cry with them. Natalie bows her head, and tears continue to fall from her face. I don't know what to do to convince her that this is not a simulation.

    "Oh gosh...." Tris says as she stares at the corner of the room. I look where she's looking and see a clock. 8:30.

    "My time is up." Natalie says. Tris puts her head on Natalie's head and cries. "No no no no no no....." yells Tris through sobs. I start to cry and put my head on Natalie's shoulder. Lavender and honey.

I hear a door bust open. "Alright, it's time." someone says. Someone pulls me back, and I yell. "NO! NATALIE!!!!" Tris is being pulled back towards a wall and she is wailing. "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!"

They unchain Natalie and toss her in a huge black bag and drag her out the door. They slam it and there is pure, hollow silence. Until I hear Tris and I bawling. I fall on the ground.
