Chapter 4

Eight

Eight ran back to his apartment building. None of them were really sure what it was, but it slightly resembled an apartment building, so they all called it that. It was early morning, somewhere around 5:00. He'd just finished a seven mile run. He always went seven miles. He sat down on the front step and bent over to untie his shoes. He left his worn out tennis shoes and rode the elevator to the 17th floor. He had asked for the 7th floor, but it was full, so he had to be on the 17th. He ate took a shower, ate breakfast, and tried to read part of a book. It was a really boring book. So, he went to the rec room. There was one on every floor, and right now there were only three people there, playing cards. Fred Weasley, Tris Prior, and Primrose Everdeen. The four had been become really good friends.

"Hey," Eight pulled up a chair to their table and sat it in backwards. He looked at each of their cards. "What game are you playing?"

"Um..rummy." Prim grinned. She was winning, by the scoreboard on a piece of paper. "Ha. I finally win!" She says proudly as she sets down her cards.

"What! No way!" Fred pretended to look scandalized. "My feelings!" Prim and Eight laughed, and Fred grinned. "I call for a rematch. With Eight."

"I'm so lost," Tris looked at her cards. "Wait-I can beat you." she laid her cards down on the table. There was a pause, as everyone looked at Tris's cards. Then, everyone cracked up laughing.

"What?" More laughter. "I give up." Tris leaned back in her seat, smiling.

Eight frowned, "What's that?" He asked. His friends looked at what he was frowning at.

"What.." Prim frowned. "That's not usually there,"

Fred reached out and knocked quietly on the small cupboard on the wall by their table. The door was painted green, with a red wooden handle. The door had intricate carvings, small and detailed in the two by two inch space. No response.

"What do we do?" Prim asks in a hushed voice.

"Mayb-Fred never finished his sentence, because at that moment the cupboard snaps open and fierce winds suck them all into the white light beyond.
