Four's POV:
I really hope Tris sticks to her word and stays in her apartment.
I continue running up to the entrance to Dauntless to fight off the Factionless. Upon arriving I see Tori. I go up to her to assess the situation.
"Tori!"
"Four, go to the south entrance where the train stops and help Zeke. We go this here."
I see Factionless jumping from the roof into the net only to be shot as their falling down. I do as Tori asks and make my way to the south entrance. There's more gunfire coming from this end then by the net. I begin to run faster to help out the situation. I spot Zeke.
"What the hell is going on?"
"They keep shooting at us, so we keep taking turns firing back."
"How many of them are there?"
"It's tough to say. It's nightfall and there isn't any lights on tonight in this sector"
More gunfire is shot, so I set out and shot off a couple of rounds before ducking back in the building for cover. A few shots are fired to where I was just standing, but thankfully they all miss me. I step out again and see someone hanging over the roof. I shot off two shots and here the person scream out in pain.
Zeke "Nice shot Four."
I just shrug my shoulder and look around. There's two more people on the ground around the corner of the building. I look at Zeke and he nods at me somehow knowing what I have planned. He watches my back as I step out. We keep our guns raised as we jog slowly down the side of the building. As I turn the corner to shot the two people they drop their guns and surrender. Zeke whistles and three other Dauntless members run out and put handcuffs on them.
"Take these two down the jail for questioning."
The three Dauntless members and two prisoners head back into Dauntless towards the jail.
"Let's take a sweep around the building to make sure it's clear."
"Alright let's go."
We slowly make our way around the building walking slowly and quietly as possible. We do an entire sweep outside and we don't see or hear any gunshots anymore. Zeke and I go back inside Dauntless and head up the roof entrance. We get to the roof and everyone is gone. We go back downstairs to the net to meet up with Tori.
Once we arrive at the net there's a lot of blood.
Zeke "How many lives were lost?
Tori "Eight Factionless were killed and nine are in the infirmary with gunshot wounds."
Zeke "Any Dauntless injured?"
Just as Tori was about to say no. Sarah comes running towards us almost out of breath.
Sarah "It's….. It's….." She struggling to catch her breath.
Tori "Spit it out what is it?"
Sarah "The weapons room….."
Zeke "What about the weapons room?" He places a hand on her shoulder to try and help her calm down.
Sarah "Tris…."
I don't even wait for the rest of what she has to say. I take off running as fast as I can towards the weapons room. I see three dead bodies and a ton of guns on the ground next to the bodies. I see another puddle of blood but no body. I see a blood trail, so I begin to follow it. I get to infirmary where it's complete cauious. There's people everywhere with cuts and scrapes they must gotten somehow. I don't see Tris, so I let out the breath that I was holding. She must still be in her apartment. I need to go check on her. Just as I'm about to leave Zeke comes running thru the infirmary doors.
Zeke "How is she?"
"How's who?"
"Tris man. Sarah told me she's been shot."
I ignore Zeke and go thru the doors to back were the patients are and start yelling Tris's name as loud as I can. Someone comes out of the operating room at the end of the hall and asks me to wait in the waiting room.
"I demand to know how Tris is."
Nurse "She's in surgery we will update you as soon as we know anything."
"I'm a leader of Dauntless I demand to know what is going with Tris."
Nurse "She's lost a lot of blood and we are operating to take the bullets out. She was shot twice."
"Is she going to be okay?"
Nurse "She's in critical condition. Now please wait in the waiting room, so we can do our job please."
I collapse of the floor with hands covering my face. I want to cry, but I fight back the tears. I just got her back she can't be dying. She can't be.
The nurse leaves me alone as I sit there on the floor and she goes back into the operating room.
I don't know how long I'm sitting on the floor when Zeke taps my shoulder.
Zeke "Hey Four I'm going to go check on everything going on and find out what happened. I will be back as soon as I can."
I just nod and he walks away. A part of me is angry he's leaving right now when I need my best friend the most, but I also know that Dauntless needs it's leaders right now. I somehow get the strength to get up. I walk out of the infirmary and head towards the cafeteria where I know everyone will be.
Upon arriving I spot Zeke and Tori on the platform about to make an announcement, so I head up to join them. As much as I want to be with Tris right now I need to be a leader and find out what happened.
Tori begins to speak "We were attacked by the Factionless tonight. We were attacked as they were trying to steal guns from us. We do not why they were trying to steal weapons, or how they got inside Dauntless with no one noticing. Lives were loss today during the attack. We have a total for three Factionless that were captured tonight that we will be taking to Candor in the morning to find out why they tried to steal guns from us. All of our guns were recovered and returned to the weapons room. We want all of you to keeps knives on you as you return to your apartment. In the morning I expect everyone at the training field at 10 A.M. We will be going over strategies in case this happens again. Everyone needs to return to their apartments now. See everyone in the morning."
We watch everyone head out of the cafeteria before speaking to one another.
Zeke "I went to the control room to watch the cameras and Tris shot all of the men that tried to steal the weapon. She shot four of them."
"I only saw three bodies."
"One of the men had been shot by Tris twice, but he is somehow still alive and in the infirmary. He's the one who shot Tris twice as well."
Anger builds inside me. "I'm going to kill him."
Zeke "You're more then welcome to once we question him."
Tori "Tris stopped them from walking out of Dauntless with 52 guns."
Zeke "If the Factionless had that many guns they could hurt a lot of people"
I nod in agreement and we continue to talk for a little while longer about what strategies we should teach everyone tomorrow. We speak for three hours before Tori and Zeke head back to their apartments and I head to infirmary to check on Tris.
On my way there I begin to angry because Tris didn't listen to me and stay in her room. Now I don't know if she's even alive. I'm trying to not this the worse, but I can't help that my minds goes to those thoughts. I don't know what I would do without her. He ignoring me is one thing, but if she was gone. I would probably kill myself. I don't want to live without her.
I go into the infirmary and see there is a nurse sitting at the reception desk. Things seem to have calmed down and it's actually pretty quiet in here. I approach the reception desk.
"Is there an update on Tris?"
Nurse "No. She's still in surgery. Have a seat and we will update you as soon as she's out of surgery."
I sit down in one of the waiting room chairs. What the hell could be taking so long. She's been in surgery for four hours. Is she okay or not? I just want to know that she's okay. I sit there debating on what I will say to her if I get to see her again. I'm angry she didn't listen to me about staying in her apartment, but I'm also proud of her for stopping the Factionless from taking the weapons. I don't know how long I'm sitting there waiting for news on Tris, but I feel myself getting tired and I fall asleep in the waiting room.
Someone is tapping my shoulder.
Nurse "Four….Four…...Four…"
I wake up kind of surprised since i seemed to have forgotten where I was. I look around and remember I'm in the waiting room. "Yes."
Nurse "Tris is out of surgery. She's lost a lot of blood and is still in critical condition. We are keeping her a sleep induced coma."
"Will she be alright?"
Nurse "We don't know right now."
"Can I See her?"
Nurse "Yes Follow me."
We go into a part of the infirmary I've never been to before. They call it the ICU wing. I go in and see Tris hooked up to all kinds of machines. One looks like it's supplying her oxygen, she has an IV in her arm and it hooked up to a machine that is monitoring her heartbeat. I pull up a chair next to her bed and take her hand in mine. I sit there holding her hand watching the heart rate monitor. I find it comforting to hear her heartbeat.
