Divergent-Survive

Chapter 15

The image disappears and I'm staring at Ace with my baby in his arms, my heart is still beating rapidly and I'm still crying, yet I cease my sobs since Ace stares at me confused.

"Whats the matter Beatrice? I won't hurt your baby yet, but if you keep crying like that...I'll kill him without hesitation." Ace growls.

I glance at Four from the corner of my eye, he's gawking at Ace, pure hate located on his face. I return my full focus at Ace.

He's rocking my baby back and forth.

This is how it started.

But no, it was just my mind playing tricks on myself. It's not a vision.

I convince myself quickly by repeating over and over again that my baby will be fine.

The next set of actions surprise me.

Ace grins at me and unchained my hands with a sliver key. What is he going to do? I want to punch him, but I don't since my baby is still in his arms.

"Hold your baby for the last time." He muses.

His words echo in my head, causing my stomach to clench.

I grab Tobias gently as Ace hands him to me.

I unwrap the blanket slightly, hoping that I won't see a bloody corpse, but instead I find a beautiful baby looking at me with wide, curious, healthy blue eyes.

I exhale in relief, Tobias gives me a smile. I want to smile back, but it might turn into a grimace. So I simply kiss Tobias's forehead, inhaling his baby smell, slowly fainting since the stench from the chamber is stronger then my baby's new, precious smell.

I stay like that for a while, tears wanting to spill from my eyes. "I love you Toby," I whisper in his ear, I pull away and look back at his eyes, so bright. So new. Too innocent for this world.

I peal the blanket a bit more and see that Tobias is wearing the same clothing from earlier, blue pajamas. Tobias starts to cry, and I already know he's hungry.

"Feed him. If you didn't know, I don't kill anyone with an empty stomach." Ace demands.

He's going to kill a child. He's a monster. I feed him milk, shifting uncomfortably since I feel Ace's eyes glaring at me.

When I finish feeding Tobias, I quickly cover myself.

"Good. Now give me the baby." He demands.

"No." I growl, I won't give him my infant. I'll die trying.

"Then we're gonna have to do this the hard way." He snaps.
