Don’t leave (Part 2) - Four/Tobias Eaton Imagine
Part 1
(Y/N)’s POV
I spent most of my time trying to focus on my life here in Dauntless. It was easy during the day, trainning hard, eating, exercising, chatting with Alec and making sure Eric was not near me (he didn’t stop flirting with me and it was annoying). Nights were more difficult. Everytime I closed my eyes, Four was in my head. I spent two months trying to find out what I did wrong, until it changed.
“I’m mad, Alec” I said to him in our secret spot next to the cliff. “I’m mad because if he wanted a one night stand, he could have said it. I have no problem with that. The thing is, he used me by lying to me. I thought he felt something for me”
“He didn’t lie to you. Did he say something about liking you? Or you becoming a thing? Indeed, he warned you: ‘I don’t want you to get mad at me, (Y/N), if we take separated paths’. Remember? Now, be a grown up girl and forget him”
I smiled.
“Thanks for being the best friend I could ask for”
I got up and so did Alec. We started our way back to bed when he punched my arm
“Ouch” I said rubbing it.
“I did a good impression of Four and you didn’t say anything”
I laughed but I was abruptly interrupted buy him pulling me against the wall. He put his hand on my mouth and looked to the left. I followed his eyes and I saw Four coming from the entrance of Dauntless. He was nervous and looking everywhere, like he didn’t want to be discovered.
Alec was still scared while I was so calm... something wasn’t right. The simulation was easy for me, too easy.
“How was it?” Alec said, trying to distract himself. “You know, with Four...”
“He wasn’t there. It was Tori who did it with me. He’s too busy for me, remember?”
“I don’t think I can do it again... it was horrible. How are you not that scared?”
“It’s obvious! Everything was fake. It was all in my mind so I could control it. If I was in the middle of the fire, I thought about rain. Easy”
“Oh really?” Eric said from behind. Everybody in the room stood quiet, looking at him. “Come with me” he said grabbing me by my arm and taking me out of there.
I had my hands tied up and the liquid Eric injected before had me a little dizzy. I looked around and I was in a corridor, but I wasn’t alone. Tori was there. A door opened and four tall men grabbed us from our arms. We came inside a huge room and the noises along the lights made me weak. I tried to recover and look around. Eric and a few leaders were there.
“Okay guys” said Eric while these men put Tori and me in front of everyone “I’m here because I want to expose two new little problems. This little girl over here is divergent. Tori knew about it and tried to cover it up. She betrayed us!”
“Divergent? What’s that?” I said, but I sounded weak.
Tori couldn’t even stand by her feet. Eric turned around to me but a door opened and Four came inside. He looked at us shocked but then he looked into Eric’s eyes. His face was neutral, but I knew he felt something when he saw Tori and me.
“What’s this?”
“You were not invited, Four. You lost your chance when you refused to be leader. But since you are here let me enlighten you”
Eric grabbed my hair and I tried to kick him but I still was a little dizzy. Laughing at my weak moves he let me go and grabbed a gun.
“What’s a divergent, Four?” I said looking at him, now a little bit scared. Eric gave him the gun.
“We have to kill all divergents, Four, along with whoever dares to help them. Your little friend here, Tori, tried to delete (Y/N)’s simulation. We have to kill them. However we can’t be suspicious. One dies right now, the other will be shown as dangerous and will be haunted by all dauntless people. It’s up to you who has more hours of life”
Four looked around, all leaders where waiting him to make his choice. His eyes... it was like he was debating inside his head with himself. I knew Tori was one of Four’s best friend and she deserved more than anyone here. She helped me and because of that, she was in this position. Being honest, she would have more chances of scape if people haunt her. She’s been in Dauntless more than me. I was a initiate.
Four was now in front of us.
“What’s wrong, Four? Here we thought Tori was your bestfriend. We don’t understand why you hesitate so much. Although, there’s only two reasons for that” Eric walked around me like a vulture while saying “One it’s because you support Divergents like Tori, which is a fair cause to kill you too and I offer myself to do that, or... you love this girl”
I looked at Four and he slightly looked at me before looking back at Eric.
“You are doing this for two reasons” I said following his stupid little game “because you are jealous of Four and wanted an excuse to get rid of him or because of me taking no notice of your lame attempt to flirt with me, uh?”
“Don’t flatter yourself, stiff”
Eric hit my stomach and Four pointed at him with the gun. I treid to recover myself.
“CHOOSE, FOUR! DO IT!” Eric shouted.
Every leader was looking at him. I couldn’t do this to him. I looked at Tori and she looked at me. ‘Stay safe’ she articulated with her lips. What was that mean? Was Four really thinking about saving me? He began to point at her with the gun.
‘Sorry’ I articulated back at her and I pushed Tori with all the strength that I had left. She fell and I stood in her place, the gun pointing at my head. Four’s mouth opened and Eric began to laugh.
“You are full of surprises, stiff... Do it Four”
Four looked into my eyes while I tried to hold back my tears. His eyes... I was going to die looking into those beautiful eyes. I closed my eyes and the night we spent together came across my mind. I rememebered the taste of his lips as I opened my eyes and with all the strength that I could gain, I said...
“Do it, Four... DO IT”
