1. Should I Stay?

TRIS POV

(Right before weapons lab scene)

I can't do this to my brother. I could never walk him to his own execution. My mind thinks back to my parents, they would be so disappointed in me. I think back to Erudite.

Erudite.

Caleb.

Tobias saying "You die, I die too".

I cannot leave Tobias. Yes, I'm being selfish, but he would be devastated.

"Goodbye, Caleb" , I say with tears in my eyes, "You are a better abnegation then I can ever be."

"I love you to Tris, don't forget to stay true to yourself" Caleb says.

And as I watch him walk into the weapons lab. I cannot take it.

I run.

TOBIAS POV

I come back to the Bureau after giving the memory serum to Peter. I see Cara looking down with tears flowing from her celery green eyes.

Oh no.

What happened?

Is Tris okay?

I walk up to her.

"Caleb successfully set off the memory serum. He shot and killed David in the process" Cara says with a hint of grief in her voice.

I laugh at the thought of Caleb shooting a gun.

"There is one thing I have to tell you- It is about Tris"

My heart sinks to my stomach. I knew I should've stayed here with her.

"No, Four, it's nothing like that. No one can find Tris. She ran away after Caleb went into the room"

All I can think is "Oh No"

Thanks for reading! This is my first story ever, but I have been reading FanFiction for 6 years. I kept looking for a story that really gets into aspects of post war trauma. Don't worry, this isn't a "Tris gets kidnapped and tested on again" story. Four finds her in the next couple chapters! Please review!
