Happy New Year Everybody. Last night I stayed up till 2:00 in the morning. Soo tired. Here is the chapter that will tell you Tris' fate. All rights go to Veronica Roth!
Tris POV
I feel a cold breeze brush by my skin. Air. I try to take a large gulp of air but end up spluttering water every where. I look up and see a pair of worried, deep blue orbs. I take large gulps of air trying to get my breathing pattern back to normal. Suddenly Tobias is pushed out of the picture and Caleb takes his place. "Tris! Tris, are you okay?" Caleb says anxiously in my face. "Caleb I am absolutely fine, now," I mutter the last part under my breath.
"Tobias we will be leaving now," Marcus says deadly calm. His voice makes me shiver and goosebumps gather on my arm. When I look at Tobias he is blushing a furious red and staring at the ground thoughtfully. Huh? I let go of the thought when he leaves. I slowly sit up and see Natalie looking at me with concerned written all over her face. I give her a 'what' look and she says, "Did he see you shift?"
"He may or may not have," I mutter. Natalie looks disappointed at my answer.
"Tris when you go to school tomorrow you have to tell him not to tell anyone," I nod my head in understanding and Natalie's eyes soften. "Mum, Tobias, he is being abused by Marcus," Caleb says outfox no where. "Caleb what have we said about reading other peoples minds, especially guests but unfortunately there is not much we can do about that, and between all of us I don't really like Marcus," Andrew says. We all nod in agreement.
I am handed a towel by Andrew and we walk inside. "I am going to bed," I say to no one in particular. I stalk upstairs and enter. I place the towel on the vanity. And strip my wet clothes for the second time tonight. What is it with me and landing in pools fully clothed. I get in the shower for the second time tonight. I wash myself and hop out. I dry myself and look I look in the wardrobe for some pyjamas. I find a fluffy pair of shorts and a thin singlet.
I turn the aircon on and pull up the sheets to my bed. I climb in and the confines is overwhelming and I fall into a dream world.
Four's POV
I see Tris in front of me. Her wet hair sprawled around her head like a halo. Bits of mascara flicking around her eyes. Her face pale from the lack of air and the lipstick and blush washed away from her unique face. I realise that everyone one is frozen in front of the scene so I have to take action. I give her mouth to mouth and compressions ( I don't actually know how this is meant to works so yeah). She seems to stir a bit and goes to take a breath but ends up spluttering and coughing. I look at her worriedly as she takes deep breaths probably trying to get her breathing back to normal.
Suddenly I am pushed to the ground and Caleb takes my place in front of the angel, Tris. Cut it out Tobias she does not like you so start getting over her! Don't let her know these feelings! "Tris! Tris are you okay?" Caleb shouts in her face. "Caleb I am absolutely fine," she says but I hear her mutter something else but it comes out a mix of words from where I am.
I straw at the ground blushing. I can't believe that' stone closest to a kiss I will ever get with Tris. I wish I secretly kissed her while she was unconscious. I think about this for awhile and my blush just keeps getting redder and redder. "Tobias we will be leaving now," Marcus says in a hauntingly calm tone. This can only mean one thing. More beltings. I slowly walk towards him and flinch as he grabs my arm harshly. When we get to the car he slaps me and pushes me in the car as if I'm a criminal.
The drive is long and silent. Marcus seems to be fuming in a way could plotting how to hurt me. "How did the girl fall in the pool," he asks. Oh no. He would take her and use her to his advantage if I told him. I can't let that happen it is just unfair. "She was walking backwards and just fell in maybe hit her head on something," I say in my most monotone voice possible.
We pull up at my house and I walk slowly to the door behind Marcus. He opens the door and instantly snakes his belt away from his waist. Once again instinct takes over and my screams are heard to no one because of the house being soundproof and the just cause me more pain. After hours of abuse, punching, kicking, the belt etc. I was locked in the tiny, upstairs cupboard which is causing me to freak out because of claustrophobia.
When I realise that I never will get to sleep from the size and heat of the room also the smell of drying blood and the pain of forming bruises. I just stare at the ceiling and imagine the possible futures Tris and I could have. Wait, what!?
Hey hope you liked this chapter. So Tris lived. YAY! It was probably pretty obvious. BTW I won't be able to post for the next two days cause my BFF is having her annual Birthday sleepover with me and our friends. Her birthday is actually on the twenty third though but we always have it after New Years. Thank you for understanding I hope. Love ya!
