... Sorry? I can't even describe how I feel... I can't come up with a book reference... Zip... Zero... Nada...
What has it been... 4 months? 5 months? Correct me if I am wrong, but y'all deserve the best this update.
I know... ooohh... If any of you have read TMI...
SPOILER BOOK REF... sort of: I feel like Sebastian after the Heavenly Fire+Heosphoros... SOWWY :(
Long story short, I got a concussion, had tons to deal with and was really busy.
That was really short.
Well, here goes... it IS kinda short but I think I am gonna update this weekend.
Previously:
Upon arrival, the beautiful ferris wheel on top of the Dauntless chariot takes my breath away.
As instructed, Uriah and I climb up the ladder of the ferris wheel. We both look down upon reaching the end, but hand signals instruct us to go further up. Thinking of Tobias, and our Ferris climb, my foot slips, and Uriah catches me, his hand on my waist. Can you experience Deja Vu in an entirely different situation?
Finally reaching a platform at the top, we stand as far apart as the space allows. From this height, I can see into the third and fourth floors of buildings. Shockingly, they are packed with factionless. Straining my eyes even further, I can make out rows of factionless in the alleys and shadows of the streets. Apparently, there is a bigger audience for this than we had thought.
Our carriage isn't the only one that has changed, Erudite has added tables and lab equipment to theirs, Amity added a tree, and Candor added a judges table and small jury. The Abnegation have done nothing to their carriage beside sit in it. The four grey figures look lonely in the concrete tub.
The whole wheel shakes, and I think we are moving, but it turns out that Cato and Clove are coming to join the party. The platform suddenly seems alarmingly small.
"Budge over." Cato growls and shoves me, a little too hard.
I topple over the side of the miniscule platform. Just as I close my eyes, preparing for sudden death by concrete, I steady hand on my arm catches me.
"Thanks."
"No problem." Uriah seems almost at ease, due to the hint of a smile on his face. Only his tensed posture tells otherwise.
With a jolt, all four of us in black clothes are thrown against a metal bar.
Finally, the chariot has started to move.
The factionless come out of hiding and cheer us on. I hear some screaming encouragement, but most are crying for vengeance. I imagine Tobias, watching this in the Dauntless compound. My eyes go up to the sinking sun behind the buildings, my chin lifts. Even though my burdens are still on my shoulders, I stand tall as hate pierces the serene setting.
Rocks, trash, and roses clatter into the chariot below. Originally, I thought the height and danger of the Ferris Wheel was to prove how Dauntless we were. Now, I see the advantage of being far up where no one can throw a rock.
Other tributes cower, and cover their faces.
The Abnegation get the least of it, but they are still getting injured. Regardless, they are throwing potatoes and bread to the people along the streets.
My eyes train on a Dauntless in the crowd of rebels. As I pass him, Tobias's deep blue gaze meets mine, even from a distance. I feel his mourning, and his pain. But as soon as he is as gone as my sanity, I lift my chin, and watch the sun go down.
Remember, be CANDOR and please review. I tell you, I won't update as fast if you don't review.
Thank you for your patience, but its not like you are gonna start pulling your hair out or anything.
For anyone that cares, I am going to start a post-CoHF fluff/drama. It's gonna be pretty good, I think. I recently finished it (another reason for no updates) and THERE ARE NO GOOD POST SERIES FLUFF CLACE FANFICS! I am going crazy.
If you have one as mentioned above, please say so.
Hasta la vista.
A plus...
