Chapter 11
Tris POV
"Ok Tris. How are you feeling today?" Concern laps the edges of David's voice but I know it's not real. Pippa is sitting over in the corner with Kee.
"Um, alright. Just a little tired and very confused." I still hadn't worked out a way to get out. I was still strapped to the table and was given injections on a daily basis.
"Ok. That's good. Now, I'm just going to give you your injection and then we're all done for today. Thank you for being so co-operative." I feel a sharp pain in my neck but before David can inject the serum the door bursts open. Revealing the guy from my dreams. Tobias.
"Tobias?" I ask him and he replies with a whip of his head.
"Stop!" He shouts but it's too late. David injects the serum just before Tobias lands a punch square on his nose. I hear the crunch and blood sprays me. I look back over the corner and Pippa and Kee are cowering back but their expressions lighten every time Tobias hits. Standing in the doorway is a familiar face but I can't put a name to it. He catches my eye and comes running over.
"Tris!" It's so good to see you again." By facial expression obviously gives away my confusion because his face drops. "I'm Matthew. Do you remember me?"
"Well, when I saw you, your face was familiar but I have no idea who you are. I only know that your name is Matthew because you just told me. Have we met before?"
"Oh dear. What have they done to you?" Matthew mutters so the question was directed to me. Tobias is still beating the life out of David. One more strike and I think it would all be over. David's life, ended. Tobias figures this out too and gets ready to take the hit. Pippa runs out as Tobias begins to move his fist downwards, forcefully. Pippa jumps on top of David and Tobias's fist hits her in the head.
"Ouch! What is your fist made of? Rocks?" I try to get up to run over but I'm still strapped in. I can see a small trail of blood running from her wound.
"Why you do that?" I ask. I think I know the answer but it still confuses me.
"I may hate his guts but he's still my dad. I couldn't let you kill him. Can't you just put him in jail or something?"
"Your dad?" Tobias asked her. " He's your dad?"
"Nah, Sherlock. I just saved the cow because I wanted to get punched in the head with a fist that I swear is made of rocks." That's attitude right there. I think I'm falling in love with her. Everyone stares at her like she's speaking Spanish. Was I the only one that got that? "Yes he's my dad!" Pippa yells, highly annoyed. I can't help but chuckle at her reaction.
I suddenly feel dizzy. I let out a groan. The sound of me makes Tobias snap back to reality and he comes running over to me.
"Tris!" He embraces me in the warmest, most heartfelt hug ever. When I don't hug back, he realises I don't remember who he is. "It's Tobias."
"I know who you are. Sort of." Just those few words make my head spin. I wonder what happened. Then I remember that David injected the serum in to me.
It starts to turn all black and I begin to close my eyes. "I love you Tris." I faintly hear Tobias say and feel his soft lips gently brush mine.
