THIS CHAPTER HAS BEEN EDITED
I don't own anything, all rights to Ronnie! (fun fact: Veronica Roth hates that nickname :p)
Tori's POV
I immediately scurry out from where I took cover and check on Four. Oh God, tell me he's okay. I crawl over to him and see blood.
Everywhere.
There are scratches on his arms, legs and face, and anywhere that wasn't protected by his clothes. But scratches from what? I take one step forward and hear a crinkle. I look down.
Oh.
Shards of glass.
Wait.
I check my arm where I felt the sudden pain from earlier. I see a long scratch that is similar to all of Four's, with burns running along it. As soon as I touch it, I fling my hand back and wince. God, if just one scratch feels that bad, I can't imagine how Four would feel! He'd probably be screaming in agony if he were awake right now. Luckily and unluckily for him, he's still knocked out. He won't be able to feel the pain, but that's because he's unconscious. I may not be Abnegation, but I need to tend to him before I can tend to myself, his case is definitely more serious than mine. I have to get him to the infirmary, but I can't do it on my own. I'm not strong enough, and the scratch on my arm wouldn't help. Plus, I may cause him even worse injuries, if that's even possible. But there is a solution to this problem.
I have to get help from a pair of brothers who are always goofing around.
And yes, that is my last resort.
Zeke's POV
If Four is willing to go to his Fear Landscape more than once daily, then damn me with a pansycake as a younger brother. Oh wait, I am Uriah's older brother.
But on a serious note, Four must be really depressed if he keeps doing this. Who knows? Maybe one day, when he's using it, the Fear Landscape will explode! But that will never happen. I mean come on, the Fear Landscape blowing up? Really? Even if a Candor were to tell me that it could happen, I would never believe him.
I'm at the railing at The Chasm. Suddenly, I feel someone push my back, forcing me against the railing. I feel like I am going to fall over it so I shriek like a little girl. I hear a snicker behind me.
Oh, that sneaky little bastard.
I'm just about to throw a brotherly punch—brotherly being the hardest punch I can—when Tori runs towards us.
"Zeke! Uriah! Come with me! Hurry!" She pants. Uriah and I exchange a confused look. He asks, "What is it?" Tori takes a deep breath, her eyebrows creased with worry.
"The Fear Landscape blew up. Four was in it." As soon as she says that, she runs off hurriedly with me and Uriah trailing behind her.
So much for thinking that the Fear Landscape would never blow up.
~•~•~•~•~
The first thing that we see when we get there is Four is lying on the ground, blacked out, obviously. There is loads of blood. I don't think I've ever seen that much red in my life ever since Eric was fighting in stage one of initiation. I take a look at him. Plenty of injuries. Heck, I don't think even Eric's opponents in the fighting ring suffered as many injuries this! What if the infirmary can't handle this? What if an important organ is damaged? What if—
"We have to get him to the infirmary. Like right now!" Uriah's panicked voice disrupts my thoughts. I nod. I carry one side of his body with one hand and support his head with the other. Tori carries the other side, and Uriah supports his legs.
What if...
What if Four dies?
~•~•~•~•~
A nurse just happens to walk past us just as we reach the infirmary. As soon as she sees the state Four is in, she gasps, "Oh no!" and starts bombarding us with questions.
God, what a loudmouth.
I would be surprised if she weren't from Candor.
As a reply to her bajillion questions, Tori says in annoyance, "Shut the fuck up and attend to him." The nurse nods and runs off to get help. She eventually comes back with a few other people—most likely doctors and surgeons—and is wheeling a gurney. They put Four on it and a man checks his heartbeat. His face falls.
No.
Don't tell me.
He takes a deep breath and says in a very shaky voice, "I'm afraid we're too late."
No.
This can't happen.
Please.
This can not happen.
