Tris POV
We have nothing anymore. We don't know what to do. We don't know where to go. I should have died but I lived. I am supposed to be selfless but I am selfish. I am supposed to be brave but I am a coward. I am supposed to be the girl who saved Chicago but all I am is Tris.
The Night
"Please don't do this, can't we talk this out?" I plead.
"No, you are just like your mother. She thought she could waltz in where ever she wanted and solve any problem. Well you have to wake up darling because that's not how this world works. It's a shame we have to lose someone with your highly advance genes." He answers.
Then I remember what Tobias had taught me 'play weak.' So I do. I start begging and crying and then I lunge at him and grab hold of David's hand that is holding the gun. Right as I grab it I feel a sharp pain in my left side just above my hip. I grab the gun and flip him out of his chair. When he falls a vile in his pocket shatters and a greenish liquid makes a small puddle on the floor. I run over and hit the memory serum. I slide down the wall to inspect my wound. That's when I see a clear but cloudy image of my mother walking towards me.
"Mom?" I whisper.
"Yes Beatrice it's me. You have done very well now come here." Says my mother.
"What about Tobias, Caleb and Christian? I can't leave them they would be crushed. I'm not ready, mom I haven't even lived yet and what about my future? There is so much I haven't done, so much that I haven't seen, I'm not ready. "
"If that's how you feel you can stay but let me warn you, you will face some very hard times in the future, but know that your father and I love you very much and will always be looking over you and your brother and your children. You need to know that Will has forgiven you. Now all you have to do is forgive yourself. I love you Beatrice. " My mother replies, as I start balling.
I look up to tell her I love her and to beg the women who raised me, protected me and most off all loved me to stay but I can't because she's already gone. I lay there crying over my dead parents and friends. My whole body feels cold and covered in sweat. There is trickling blood running down my hip and left leg. Then I let the darkness consume me and cover my trembling, bloody body.
Tobias POV
As soon as I walk out of the vehicle I see Cara moving from foot to foot. As soon as she sees me she tenses. She explains what happens and that Tris was shot three times. She was shot in the foot, her right arm and right above her left hip.
"Where is she?" I demand.
"She is in the ICU at the hospital. Go through the doors then turn left then right then-"I cut her off I don't have time for this. I just start running and following signs. Once I finally get to the hospital entrance I see Caleb staring down at his feet. I couldn't help it; every breath he toke was one that my Tris may never be able to experience. I go over to him and pull him up by his collar.
"You selfish coward, how could you do this to your sister, your only family? No wait, it was easy for you to manipulate her, because you never loved her you just used her. You delivered her to her own death bed you were willing to watch her die. We should have never trusted you." I scream and punch him in the face as Zeke comes running up behind me and grabs my arms, then drags me away.
I walk into her hospital room, the doctors say she is stable enough to move her from the ICU, and I see about two doctors and three nurses trying to restrain Tris. Who keeps screaming, "Will, please stop don't make me do this," or "Mom, please don't leave me," in between sobs.
I go around to the left side of the bed as the doctors keep telling me to leave but I don't listen. I pin Tris's arms down and make her look into my eyes as I repeat soothing word to her. Then finally she recognizes me and starts sobbing in my arms.
PAGE BREAK
Tris POV
It has been about a year since then. Tobias and I live together in a huge house way to big for just the two of us. It is three stories' high, and has six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and walk in closet. The kitchen is on the first floor with one restroom, a lounge with a fire place and a huge dining room. The second floor contains one restroom, an office and a living room with another fire place. Then there is the top floor this where all the other bedrooms are. Next is the basement, this is set up just like the training room in Dauntless but this one is ours. My favorite room though is the attic, this is where I come and think it is where I can calm myself plus it has an amazing view of the Ferris wheel.
We have reset up the fractions but it's different now. There are no more fractionless people. If you murder someone you have to go to trail to receive your punishment. Things are farer then they were before.
Tobias and I are the Dauntless leaders. Caleb and Cara are two of the three Erudite leaders, Evelyn is one of the leaders of Amity, and Marcus is one of the leaders of Abnegation. Christina is a nurse at Dauntless. Everyone went back doing what they used to do but with no more simulations or serums.
Life should be good but it isn't. Everyone else is happy but I am not. No one else wakes up screaming in the middle of the night because of what they have seen and done. Sometimes I am so afraid; I can't even get out of bed all because I have a secret that nobody else knows. A secrete that could change all our life's drastically.
