I scream and yank my arm back, the girl’s teeth tearing a long cut in my skin. Scarlet blood trickles down my arm and I fall back into Tobias. He wraps his arms around my skinny waist.

“Tris!” He exclaims “Are you okay?”

“I feel dizzy.” I mumble and my legs give out.

Tobias holds me close, his hands tight on my hips.

“What the hell?” Tobias yells at Jace. “What the hell happened to her? What the HELL happened to my Tris?”

“Maureen bit her, Maureen’s a vampire. We need to get her to safety as quick as we can.”

“No kidding.” I mumble as my vision begins to fade at the edges. Before I black out completely I see Katniss, Peeta and Izzy dash around the corner.

“Finnick! Cinna!” Katniss cries.

Izzy raises her voice.

“Not that this reunion isn’t cute and all, but we gotta go ‘cos…”

That tinkly laugh sounds again

“Camille!” Magnus says

“Nice one, Captain Obvious.” Alec comments

“SHUT UP FOR THREE SECONDS!” Jace snaps “AND RUN FOR GOD’S SAKE!”

“Tobias…” I whisper, feeling myself go heavy and limp

He lifts me up into his arms and sets off running with the others, my head lolling against his shoulder as I lose consciousness.
