Tris POV:
Tobias and me are running through the forest in between amity and abnegation. We don't even know if we have to be running. If they have figured out that we were the ones who stopped the war against abnegation. jeanie will be coming after us soon enough so we might as well be getting the head start. It just me and Tobias, the rest of them will be meeting us at amity. It was to dangerous for them to travel with us. Its just the two of us trekking through the forest. Well, now its the three of us. Tobias is beginning to slow down. "Why are we stopping" I ask him. We need to keep on moving or they might catch up with us. He is loading his gun but he stops to look up at me. "These forest are at least a hundred miles. We diverted our course so they probably aren't going to find us. They are expecting us to go straight to amity so its safer if they let us get ahead of them". This all makes sense to me but I suddenly think about Christina and Caleb and all of the other dauntless that are escaping with them. "But what about the others, and the other abnegation and the rest of the amity. Eric will kill all of them to find us". Tobias keeps his head down to his gun and his face stern. He doesn't even look up when he responds. "I radioed into them that Eric would be coming. They have set up defenses and are prepared". Im relieved that we haven't put anyone else at harm but now I don't have anything else to think about except for the little alien that is growing inside of me. I roll up my sleeves but then decided to just take off the black leather jacket that I am wearing. It is a lot more damp and thick in the air, I think its called Humidity. The air is usually dry and light in the city. I never realized how much I could miss the air of home until I realized that I would never smell it or feel it brushing against my cheeks in the brisk coldness of winter, making it feel like pins and needles are poking at me. Tears spring into my eyes just at the thought of it. Me, Caleb and our parents walking in that cold winter air to give Christmas meals to the factionless. I don't want Tobias want to know how I really feel. I need to be strong right now but my whole world is crumbling around me. I keep telling my self that Its the pregnancy hormones but I know that even though Im usually not the touchy feely type this would get to me even if my head was not bathing in a cocktail of hormones that make me cry uncontrollably. Just another reminder of our baby and how its going to grow up in a world filled with violence and people trying to kill it's parents. I look over at Tobias. His muscles are tense and his jaw is clenched. "Hey" i ask him and he finally looks up from the ground. His face softens but he is still on edge, "Are you okay?". "Yeah. I'm fine" he responds to me in a gruff voice. Its obvious that he's not. We are sitting on two separate logs and I move over to his. He still doesn't look up. I place my hand on his arm. It tense more but then he releases and begins to relax. I slowly take his gun and hold his hand as we slowly lower it towards the ground. He looks up at me and into my eyes. We don't have to say anything but we both realize that all of this really happening. That all of those people had died. That my parents had died. The tears start to return and he sees them now. I try to look away, still not wanting to reveal my weakness, but he turns my face towards him and I lay my head on his shoulder and he wraps his arms around me. I let one tear fall out and it stains his gray shirt that he had gotten from abnegation. It still has the smell of the city and I get one last whiff of dry light air, even when Im surrounded by heaviness.
