Divergent

Chapter Twenty- Three

3 minutes later we are staring up at the building where their flag is, where we can claim our victory. Now all that's left to do is get past James. Oh Joy. But we have a plan: Uri and Chris will guard down below while Marlene and I go up and fight.

"Alright! Go guys. We've got your backs," Uri says with a wink. Marlene goes over and gives him a peck on the lips. Chris groans.

"This is no time for love you two! Come on, we've got a game to win!" Chris tells them. Uriah and Marlene break apart, Marlene blushing.

"Mar, come on! It's just Christina," Uriah says. Christina rolls her eyes.

"Come on. Let's go," I say nodding to Marlene. She nods.

"Lets do this," She says.

We creep up the stairs, our guns ready at our sides. We reach the top and I look to Marlene.

"I'll open the door, you go in and I'll come back you up,". She whispers. I nod I'm agreement.

"Okay," I reply.

"One. Two. Three," She says. She opens the door and I burst in. James is sitting on the floor looking bored. He jumps up when I come in. He snickers as he sees that it's me. Mar is still in the hall, out of sight so when he's pre-occupied fighting me, she can come in and get him out. I kick him in the stomach and clutches where I kicked him, then hunches over. Not for very long, but long enough for me to press the trigger, and watch a pink paintball splatter on his back.

"Yes! Mar!" I cry. She comes in with a smile spread across her face. I can feel one forming on mine too. I run across the room, grab the glowing yellow flag, step outside to the platform and wave the flag. And everyone erupts in cheers.

Hey! Okay... Apology time!!! So, in chapter twenty-one Peter got out. In chapter twenty- two I made the mistake of saying that PETER was the one guarding the flag. I just realized it and changed it, but if you read it BEFORE I changed it, I'm sorry if that confused ya😁 Hope you liked this chapter😘
