Chapter 2 - The Famous Tris Prior
Tris POV
"Tobias. Tobias!"
I wake up all sweaty and shaking. I breathe heavily and machines are beeping everywhere. Kee comes running in with a man in a wheelchair. Kee's crying and they're both running - or wheeling - around frantically. Kee comes running up to my side and, in a barely audible whisper, she says "it's ok, it's ok. It's all going to be ok. Just keep breathing, keep breathing, keep breathing." I don't know if she was reminding me or herself.
"I'm fine. There's nothing wrong with me," I try to convince Kee and the man but they both keep running around. They finally get the machines to stop beeping and the man comes up to me.
"Hi. My name is David. It's nice to finally meet the famous Tris Prior," he says. "I'm your doctor. How are you feeling?" Although the question ought to have a concerned tone it didn't. It sounded as if he was scared.
"I'm feeling fine," I honestly reply.
"What were you calling out before?"
"I don't know. I was dreaming about a guy named Tobias but I'm not sure who he is."
"Tobias. And you're sure you don't know who he is?"
"I'm sure. Kee said something about him yesterday but I didn't know who he was. Could you please unstrap me? I asked Kee if she could yesterday but she said she couldn't because of the Doctor's order. And you're the doctor. I would really like to me unstrap if that's alright with you."
"I'm afraid it's not Tris. We're keeping you strapped down for your own safety."
I don't think David is telling the truth. When he first started talking to me he was very wary. Almost as if I knew something about him I wasn't supposed to know. I pretend to believe him.
"Oh. That's ok."
"Can you tell me something about your dream?" he asks me.
"Um. All I can remember is it was about a guy called Tobias and I seemed to care about him. But I don't know who he is."
"Thanks Tris. You've been really co-operative," David says. I see Kee standing in the corner, sobbing. I'm about to comfort her when I feel a sharp jab in my neck. I turn my head to see that David had injected serum into me. I faintly hear him say "I'm sorry Tris. It's for your own good."
And then it all goes black.
