This continues from Veronica Roth's novel Allegiant chapter Fifty-one page 489. Everything else happened exactly the way it had before.
We walk through the abandoned security checkpoint and no one stops. I see Cara standing on the other side. Her face is badly bruised and there is a bandage on her head, but she is not what concerns me. What concerns me is the expression she has on; it's a troubled look.
"What is it?" I say.
She shakes her head.
"Tris, where is she" I say.
"Tobias, I'm so sorry."
"Sorry about what?" Says Christina roughly. "What happened? Tell us what it was!"
"Instead of Caleb it was Tris who went into the weapons lab," says Cara. "She survived the Death serum, and set off the memory serum, but David… Shot her. And she's unresponsive."
Most of the time I know when someone is lying, though I hope she is I can tell she isn't. But Tris will be fine, she always is. If she could handle the death serum she won't let a bullet hurt her. Soon she'll be as good as new, her cheeks flushed, her eyes bright, and her body full of energy, strength and power. Then the reality of what happened to Uriah sinks in.
"She's going to be okay, right?" Christina says, more than asking. "No way. No way is this happening to two of my last few friends."
Cara stays silent, not answering Christina's question.
Christina yells something, but her voice sounds far away, like I am in another world. Everyone's faces begin to disappear, smearing into one big dull smudge of color.
All I can do is stand still- like I'm frozen, like a statue as if it can make it all go away, but it can't. It happened. No matter how hard I tried to keep her safe from her own selflessness.
