CHAPTER 4
TOBIAS POV
I run to the chasm. I hear footsteps behind me. She must have heard the screams too. I search the area. I find Tris. My heart is sinking. She is not clinging on the rail with her hands. She is not on the rail at all. She is holding on a ledge. Her knuckled are white. "Go get help." I shout to Christina. I run towards Tris. She is too far down for me to reach her. Well that's just great.
"Help Tobias!" She says. Her voice is weak and strained. I makes me shutter. I can't help her. There she is, helpless. And I'm right next to her and I can't do anything.
"Hold on." I say my voice calm. I don't want to make her anymore scared than she already is. "Just, hold on."
I look down. She is looking down. Her knuckles are turning purple. She can't hold on for much longer. What is taking Christina so long. "Christina!" I shout. I would have done faster getting help. I look around the room. A rope, a ladder. Nothing. I hears shouts and the loud thud of running.
"Hold on." I say to her. It seems to be more for me than for her.
"I can't!" Her voice sounds desparate. I know that she is going to drop. At the corner of my eye I see Christina coming with a bunch of people. Then I hear a loud scream.
