CHAP. 1

4 TOBIAS/FOUR's POV 4

"Come on, take some risks, she always did." Zeke told me from the back.

I wish they didn't use that word, her, she, as a weapon against me. It has been almost three years since her death, three months ago I scattered her ashes as I zip-lined for the first time. Tris's ashes. Too young, too gentle to die but...

Tris is gone.

"Oh, Four, don't be such a wimp, we're just looking around, to see other places. You know, not Chicago. Outside." Christina teases at my side.

I know that I'm not making the best decision, but I nod. For her. For Tris.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\****************************\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

It has been five days we were traveling and finally we are out of Chicago, far, far away. We stopped when we saw the buildings in the distance. So, civilization did indeed exist, out of our home. Today, later, we will go and greet people. For now, we're just finding hiding spots for weapons. They could be violent.

Pfft, I blow air out of my mouth to see it become mist in the freezing cold air, pfft.

"Be quiet, Four. They'll hear us from afar with noise like that." Zeke glares at me warningly.

"Alright. Hey. Look though, the mist. It's like... a spirit. A ghost." I respond with a grimace.

Of course. Ghosts. Spirits. Like Tris. Dead.

Christina stifles a laugh. Time to set off. Zeke motions for me to get off the seat of the truck and to start walking. For a good half-hour we walk in silence, like soldiers single-file marching into the new town. At the greeting sign we stop for a moment. Is this a good decision? Whatever. We came so far anyways.

"Stop. What're you all doin' 'round here? Not invading, I hope." a man in a Official's uniform on.

"No sir, just seeing what other cities are like." I answer before Zeke or Christina could get into any mischief.

The man studies my face for a moment and then nods slowly. Wow, so much for a hard time getting past security. For a while we walk around, people peeping at us from their windows. Then, I hear it.

"Tobias? TOBIAS!" someone yells. A girl.

I turn. No, but she's dead, she's gone, I saw her body! It is Tris. It looks, sounds like... TRIS! She is holding a handsome young man's arm, he being around the same age as me. Jealousy flares up in me when I become calm. No, it could not be Tris, but as she runs to me I see... Tris.

"No. You're not... you're not Tris. She's dead." I hiss at her.

She curls back, "But I am. David banished me. Those shots... I had to pretend they were real. The ashes, not mine. The body... the body that was supposed to mine, it wasn't. Just a fake. I was an interruption, a nuisance, and a rebel. And they sent me here, and they, I, didn't know the way back. I thought I could remake my life here. Then, I saw you here. Today."

I see past the disguise I think this woman is wearing but I see Tris. Before I make rash decisions, I pull the corner of her shirt down just to see the should. Just. To. See... The birds! So this is Tris, so my life inside isn't dead, I was revived. Reborn, like Tris was.

Reborn.
