Chapter 11
Tris POV
Tobias and I run after Sai. He turns right, towards the train, which he jumps on with ease. I grab Tobias' hand, and we jump in to the same car. I hear Sai whistle a new beat, which causes all three birds to fly in. Sai quickly assess each bird for injuries, before letting the fly away. He scoots in to the corner, and stares at his hands.
"Sai you okay?" I ask. He looks up, and attempts to smile, but it ends up looking up like a grimace. "Yeah, I am used to it." He goes back to his shoes. We rode in silence for about another 30 minutes, before Sai stands up abruptly, and jumps out of the train. Once Tobias and I are safely on the ground. I realize that we are in Abnegation. "Sai why are we here?" Tobias inquires. "To take a walk." He replies. Wow, I was expecting more. Sai strolls through the streets of Abnegation, coming to stop in front of a house, right next to mine. "This is my house, one away from each of your houses." Sai says. Right, I forgot that Tobias lived across from me. Tobias. I smile at the thought of him. Tobias puts his arm around my waist, and pulls me closer. Sai rounds the corner and shrieks. I pull away from Tobias and run to Sai. He is shaking, looking at the ground.
I hear Tobias gasp. I look to the ground, and see two abnegation children, holding hands, unconscious, and covered in bruises and cuts. They are lying on the sidewalk, surrounded by spots of blood.
"Olivia? William?" Sai whispers. The kids look to be about 8 years old. Sai picks each of them up, cradling them in his arms. "I'm sorry" he whispers. He turns, and sprints back to the tracks, still holding the kids in his arms. I run with Tobias, back to tracks, and jump in the tracks.
{Back at the compound}
We run into the Compound, and are immediately met with the rest of the gang. "We need to take them to one of your apartments." "You can take them to my old one." I say. Even though I live with Tobias, they still gave me an apartment, but right now it is vacant. I run towards it, it is near the top, since I got first place. I unlock the door, and Sai sets them gently on the bed. He goes into the bathroom, and opens the pre-filled medicine cabinet. He pulls out some medicine, and bandages. He wraps the cuts, and forces the medicine down their throats. He kisses each one on the cheek.
He sits on the bed, and starts to sob into his hands. Jordan sits next to him, and tries to calm him down, but it is obvious he doesn't know why Sai is so upset. "Pardon if I ask, but what's going on?" Christina asks. Sai looks up, his eyes still full of tears. "These are Olivia and William. We were friends in abnegation. They were being hurt by some erudite in school, and I always took care of them, but when I had to transfer, there was no one to care for them, I said I would always protect them. Know look what has happened." Sai breaks down again.
I see a two small hands reach out for Sai's hand. Sai moves, and I see two sparkling green eyes. Their brown hair, framing their faces. Sai smiles, and pulls them into a big hug. "Uncle Sai" they whisper. "Liv, Willy." Sai says, his voice thick with emotion. They wrap their frail arms around Sai. "I love you, I will never leave you again" Sai whispers. And I can tell, he is telling the truth.
