CHAPTER 1
TRIS POV:
The last thing i heard was screams. I grabbed tobias's hand. We ran to christina. With my other hand, i grabbed her wrist. Tobias leaded the way. Where to, I don't know. But I was hoping it would be some place that Tobias, Christina, and I could be alone. And I could cry.
"Where are you taking us, Tobias?" I asked, at the verge of tears. The memory of my mother was still in my head.
"Somewhere far, far away from the factionless and everyone else." he said, and Christina eyed me curiously. I just shrugged. My knees were tired of running. How doesn't Tobias get tired of running and being the strong Dauntless guy?
We pass through the large, large Erudite sector. All houses are blue. My clothes are blue. I'm disguised as an Erudite, but everyone knows who I am now. Most Dauntless thought I was a traitor, but I'm not. I helped to keep their sassy butts alive. Well, I wouldn't have done it if Marcus hadn't told me anything, if the Amity hadn't helped and Tobias hadn't come to the rescue and - suddendly my head started throbbing. Running and thinking tire me so much. My head hurts, so do my legs, and I feel as if I might faint.
I drop down to the floor. No more running. No more thinking. I shall not do anything. I'd like to rest, but this isn't the time. But I don't care. Let me be selfish for a moment. I close my eyes, just for a split second, then I stare at Tobias and Christina, who are staring down at me.
"What's wrong, Tris?" asked Christina.
"Too - tired - to - keep - on - going" i say, out of breath. My tiny, fast body is weak, so I just close my eyes, lay down on the grass, and fall alseep. And I don't open them for another while.
TOBIAS POV:
She fell asleep. Even weak, she looks like an angel. I pick her up, and then Christina and I start running. We run, and run, and run, until we face our destination.
"Where are we?" asks Christina.
I just stare at the house.
It's Jeanine Matthews's house.
