Chapter 14
Tris's POV
I sit there literally counting how many imperfections are on the walls. I have been sitting here for hours and the only visiters I have had was Justin and Lynn. I still can't that out of my head. How could they betray us like that? I can't help but worry about the rest of the group. I hope they are ok. Finally someone comes into my cell. About time! I was about to die of boredom!
"Hello Tris." You know what can I go back to dying of boredom? I really don't want to see her face.
"Hello Lauren." I spit out.
"You don't know how long I have waited to see you like this. Tied up to a chair, hopeless." She taunts.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I got picked to be your guard." She then looks at me up and down in amusement,"But looks like you don't even need one. Most people that get left alone for hours would have been able to find a way to escape, but must be because you are to weak."
I shake my head,"Is that all you got? I mean you may have the upper hand right now, but just remember all of the times through high school when I won over you. Sports, grades, popularity-"
She shot me a death glare cutting me off,"You were not more popular than me! I was the most popular girl in school!"
I smirk,"Maybe so, but who won prom queen senior year? Most importantly who is the one that won Four's heart? Because sweetheart last time I checked... It wasn't you." Her death glare just got a thousand times deathier. It may not be a word, but it makes it seem more intense. She runs towrds me and slaps my face. I probably have a red mark, but that's all. Before she can do anything else she falls to the floor. Standing behind her was... Ms. Wu? She quickly run over to me cutting off the ropes. When everything is off she pushes me off the chair gently and pulls out her gun.
"Quick we don't have must time." She says and leads me through the white halls.
"Wait. What about my friends?" I ask worried.
She stops and looks at me sadly,"I'm sorry-"
"What happened?" I ask worried.
"They didn't make it. You are the only one who made it out alive." I stare at her in shock. Tears are about to pour from my eyes, but she starts laughing.
"Don't worry I'm just kidding! we have other people getting them. They should be in the van now. They are fine." I nod slowly processing what just happened and let her lead me down the halls.
"Ms. Wu-"
"Please, call me Tori. We aren't in school anymore." She says while smiling warmly at me.
I nod,"Well Tori how did you know we were here?"
She shakes her head,"Not now. We will explain later. First we must get out of here." We are soon greeted by fresh air and sunlight. Tori hastily pulls the van door open and pushes me in it and shuts it. I look around taking in the sights of the van. It's pretty big with seats on the walls of the vehicle with all of my beloved friends sitting on both sides. My eyes instantly divert to a figure that they have laid on some kind of stretcher on the floor. Tobias! I gasp and run over to him realizing that he is alive, but unconcious.
"What happened to him? Why is he beathen up the worst?" I ask realizing that everyone has cuts on them, but nothing serious.
"Well Four here needs to learn how to keep his mouth shut." The owner of the voice hops in and shuts the van door and the vechicle instantly drives off. He steps to where the light hits his face and I immediately recognize him.
"Amar?"
He smiles,"Nice to see you again Tris."
"How did you guys know to come save us?" I ask confused.
He shrugs,"We put securtiy cameras in each of the rooms. We knew they were planning on taking people for a while now we just didn't know who. I must say we were pretty surprised they took all of you."
"So you know what happened to him?" I ask signaling to Tobias.
Amar nods,"His brother was his guard. Four here decided it would be a good idea to get on his nerves by talking his ears off, so Justin called in some backup which just so happened to be his father. Once again Four not knowing when a good time to stop is he kept talking so one thing let to another and they knocked him unconcious."
"So he is ok?" I ask.
Amar nods,"Nothing to be worried about. He will just be in some pain." I sigh in relief and kiss Tobias's forehead. I instantly remember about Lynn. Oh Shauna. I look over at her and see her face buried into Zeke's chest. I sliently move next to her and put my hand on her back. She looks up at me and hugs me. I sigh sadly and wrap my arms around her she then starts sobbing. I look at Zeke and he is looking at her in a sad way.
"I can't believe her." She chokes out.
"Shhhh. I know I know. Just think though. Maybe it isn't how it looks like." I don't know weither I am trying to convince her that or me.
"I don't know-"
I cut her off,"Did she hurt you in any way? Physically I mean." She shakes her head,"Did she say anything weird."
Shauna nods her head and sniffles,"She said something about this is bigger than what we think it is."
I bite my lip in thought,"Maybe she isn't really apart of this. Who knows. I promise you one thing though. We will help you find out."
She smiles and hugs me,"Thank you Tris." I nod.
"Tris." Tori calls me over. I pat Shauna on the back and walk over towards the front where she is,"I think you might want him back." She says and takes Mason in her arms. I gasp in relief and take him in my arms quickly hugging him tight.
"Where did you find him? I assume they didn't bring him back home?" I ask.
She shakes her head,"No they were holding him in a cell. We distracted them long enough to take him. If we would've come any longer they would've run experiments on him no telling if he would have woken up from them." I sigh in relief and give her a greatful hug.
"Thank you Tori."
She nods and signals over to Tobias,"You may want to go check on him. Looks like he is waking up." I look over and see that he is indeed sturring signaling he is going to wake up. I run over to and kneel by his side. He groans and opens his eyes. When he sees me he smiles and kisses me and I finally get a good look at him.
"You look awful." I say joke which was a complete lie. He may have slash marks all over his face, but he still looks as handsome as ever.
"Well hello to you too." He says sarcastically. He then looks over at Mason and his eyes light up,"How did you get him?"
"Tori. They had him locked in a cell." I say sadly. He nods slowly and sits up. Right when he does that Mason jumps out of my arms and wobbles over to Tobias. He laughs and catches him in his arms. Mason is a daddy's boy for sure. I love watching my two boys together. I'm glad we are all safe.
"Do we know this Tori?" Tobias asks confused after Mason is settled in his arms.
I nod,"Right I forgot. Ms. Wu ring a bell?"
His eyes widen,"I didn't think she was capable of anything like that."
I chuckle,"Oh and someone else that helped. Amar."
He looks at me with his eyebrows raised and starts laughing,"Seriously? He's so old."
I laugh with him,"Isn't he in his late 40's?"
He nods,"Old."
I shake my head,"Looks like we need to teach you when to shut up."
He looks at me confused,"How did you-"
"Sercurity cameras. I didn't see it, but Amar told me about it."
Tobias smirks,"They may have runined my face, but it was totally worth it!" I chuckle and kiss his forehead. I'm just happy he's not taking this whole brother betraying him to seriously, but he may just be in the moment right now and not really thinking to much about it. The van stops and the doors open. I guess this is our stop. I hold my hand out and Tobias takes it. We get up together and walk out the car. I look around confused and see the group looks confused as well. We are standing in front of train tracks. I look around and see Tori and Amar next to us.
"What are we doing here?" I ask. Right on cue the sound of a train horn goes off. I look down the tracks and see a silver train speeding our way.
"We need you to jump onto the train. It's not going to stop." Amar warns and him and Tori start running down the tracks. I look at the group and everyone is looking at them like they are insane.
"Come on! You don't want to miss it!" Tori shouts from ahead of us. Tobias and I exchange looks and follow them down the track. Suddenly Amar and Tori jump into the open door on the side of the train. All of us exchange worried glances, but follow their lead. I jump in first tolling into the train. Tobias jumps in after me with his grip on Mason tight and wraps himself around Mason protecting him from the fall. After us the rest of the group comes flooding in.
"Man are you trying to kill us?" Zeke asks when everyone is safe and in the cart.
Amar scoffs,"Please that was the easy part." He looks out the door for a second and turns back to us,"Here's the harder part." Next thing I know him and Tori jump out of the train and onto a roof. They just jumped! I look at Tobias worried and he smiles reasurringly at me and takes my hand. Together we jump onto the roof rolling on the floor in safety.
"Now this is the last thing you have to do for now." Tori announces when everyone has gathered.
"You are going to have to jump in this deep hole in the ground. I know it may sound crazy, but I promise there is a net down there." He says. This time everyone in the group goes before us. Knowing about Tobias's fear of heights I decide to give him a break and go last. When it is our turn we walk up to the edge. I look over at Tobias and see his face is pale and he is gripping onto Mason in protection.
"On three." I say and he nods,"One, two..three!" With that we in the air decending closer to as we are told a net at the bottom. I can't help but smile through the fall. I love this feeling. I feel so... free, like a bird. My thoughts are disgarded when I feel something hug against my body. I look up and see that the three of us are safely in the net. Tobias lets out a sigh of relief and let's me down first then hands Mason to me and he jumps down last.
"Well looks like you all made it!" Tori exclaims and we all groan which was mixed with relief and shock out of what we just went through.
"Why are we here?" Marlene asks.
"We needed some recruits." A voice says from the shadows.
"Recruits for what?" Uriah asks.
"Everything will be explained, but in simple terms. We are an organization if you will that is going against a dangerous group. The very one that kidnapped you. " The voice replies.
"Who are you exactly?" Will asks.
The owner out from the darkness,"Sorry where are my manners. Hello, I am Evelyn, the leader of the Allegiant."
