These wings are made to fly - a divergent fanfiction

Chapter 28

Tris POV

I awake with a pounding headache spreading throughout my head, the pain bursting aldo in my neck and shoulders. Jeanine stands over me with violent purple rings beneath her sagging, sharp blue eyes.

Her parched, wrinkled skin the colour of week-old ashes, her head drooping, her sapphire-blue suit creased and crumpled.

I grin to myself knowing that I have caused this beast her pain. She is trying to figure out how to conquer the divergent, yet each idea that she creates crashes and burns because if you have a good heart and a strong mind - nothing can beat you. Except, of course, death.

This time, the liquid inside the syringe is a murky brown colour which makes me want to puke just knowing that this will soon be inserted into my blood, pumping through my veins. I shudder - why is she doing this?

"My dear Beatrice, thank you so much for your help in this operation, I promise this won't hurt at all." She muses as she thrusts the needle into my neck and pushes down the pump.

I suddenly fell very drowsy and want to be asleep. The serum pulls my body weight down and down and my muscles throb amd ache. What does this one do? As clear as if she were beside me, I hear my mother's voice: Beatrice darling. Welcome home! You have been so selfless, I am indescribably proud of you.

Have been? What does she mean by that? She continues, "Me and your father have really misrsef you. We both admire your bravery and courage, your selflessness, intelligence, honesty and peaceful intentions but now it is time to rest."

What? No - I can't be dying - mum and dad aren't dead! Or maybe they are. I gesture to my invisible mother to continue, "Beatrice it may come as a shock to you but your father and I are actually dead. Due to this fantastic invention of this serum, we can now talk to you."

I am not convinced but decide not to show it in my face. "You have 2 choices, 1) you can return to normal life but your mind is basicallt controlled by us. Or you can stay in rest but appear to your living loved ones. It is your choice entirely."

Why isn't dad speaking? As if she heard my thoughts, my virtual mum says, "You must be wondering why you can't hear your father. Well that is because..." but her voice to me fades into the background and my brain completes the sentence: Well that is becuase we can't convincingly simulate his voice.

This is a simulation created by the serum

I realise and my muscles begin to ache again, a powerful, painful ache. I try to move my leg but am unable to, either because of the poison pumping through my veins or because my leg in real life is chained down.

I don't think I can stand this much longer.

Fran POV (betcha thought I had forgotten about the initiates!)

I walk up to a friendly yet depressed looking girl with a mocha skin tone and bob cut walnut brown hair. "Ummm hi. Um my name is Fran and I was wondering if training is going to be starting soon I mean umm none of us has seen Six or Four since Wednesday."

"Um hey Fran. Well it just so happens that I am Six's best friend but I don't know where she is I am sorry. I mean I didn't even notice Four was gone. I am just so depressed by not being able to do anything" "I am sorry but I didn't quite catch your name." I say attempting to be polite.

"That may well be because I didn't tell you." She says, half smirking half smiling sheepishly. "I am Christina." She says, flashing her pearl-white teeth.

"Well Christina I think we should make a plan." I say with as  much confidence as I can muster.

Tobias POV

****From when he was found under simulation****

"Tobias" I hear, sounding like it's from a long way away or through water. I really wish that whoever it is saying this would just stop - I have a serious code to crack here.

And I have sworn to crack it for Tris' freedom. 

After what seems lile an age, I get bored and head off to the canteen. Everyone looks really down and bored so I go and sit next to Zeke and say, "Hey! What's up buddy?" No answer. Odd. I prod him at least 30 times on the shoulder and finally he looks up. His eyes are glassed over, unfocused.

"Who is this?" He says, obviously annoyed.

"Zeke, lolk at me, it's Four!" He finally looks at me.

"Four buddy!" He yells, "I thought you were dead to the world you know... like..." he says pointing to his eyes and making them go slack like only he can do.

"Zeke where's Tris?"

"Oh I dunno I haven't seen her all day."

"Zeke. Where is she? Is she ok?"

"Look buddy don't get so stressed she's probably hangong out woth Christina or gping shopping or something."

"Zeke have I been acting wierd recently? "

"Yeah I mean real wierd like glazed over." Damn.

"Did anything go on whilst I was gone to the world?"

"Ummm. Oh yeah. Tris made some sort of a plan to go to Erudite or something, like publicly, and yeah nothing much else."

"What? Zeke this is really important!" I practically yell, frustrated, turning every lazy head to where I am sat.

"Ok buddy calm down. It's ok I think Tris went to Erudite to persuade Jeanine or something crazy like that becuase it was kinda obvious she was planning something behind our backs and-"

"Zeke I am going."

"Where?"

"To the Erudite stupid. I have got to find Tris!"

I have got to find Tris.

A/N so sorry these are all rubbish, quick chapters but I am kinda drawing this one to a close so yh...
