Sorry that it's a small chapter, should be making another one soon. Please keep reviewing and following, I feel like this story is starting to become neglected. Anyways, please read on.
"Tobias, there's a cure." I blurt out while we walk towards the chasm where our friends are waiting to meet us.
He stops walking and opens the door to the right of us, waits for me to walk in the room and then closes the door. It's an old apartment, fully furnished but I'm certain nobody lives here anymore. I turn my attention back to Tobias.
"Who told you this?" He says seriously, trying to get the fact before he allows himself to be happy.
"Gemma. She says it's guarded heavily but she knows where it is."
"How do we know she not lying to you to try to save herself?" He questions.
"She's not lying."
"We're going to get it. You and I Tris, we can do this together."
He pulls me closer and wraps his arms around my back. I place my hands above his hips and look up. "You're going to live with me for a long, long time whether you like it or not."
He's wearing a smile and for the first time in a while and I don't want to erase it but he keeps scanning my face to see what I'm feeling. I try to look joyful by smiling and making it reach it her eyes.
"You're not happy."
"I'm trying to be." I say truthfully.
"Why aren't you?"
"Have you thought why our friends are so insistent for us to meet them tonight?" I ask.
With a sudden realisation, he says "they want to help us get the cure."
"We can't let them die." I can hear my voice start to break.
"We wont." He promises.
"We have to protect Alaska, our friends and everyone else before us, okay?"
"We can't save everyone, Tris."
"We can try."
"Tris..."
I know it's a war zone but I'm determined foe everyone to survive even if that means I have to die for them. No more people can die because of me. I don't think I'll be able to cope.
"Come on, we're late."
He moves closer and kisses my forehead.
"Stop thinking too much." He says worriedly.
"I'm trying too."
"We got to go. Can we run?"
For the first corridor, we ran side by side but now I'm really far ahead. I hope he isn't letting me to first to make me feel better. I just walked through the final door before the Pit, when I see a blurred figure walk out of a corridor that I never knew existed. Instinctively, I reach for my gun in my waistband. When I realize that it's Tobias and I quickly remove my hand off it and pull my shirt back over it. I'm ashamed that I was ready to shoot before I knew who it was. I'm too lethal now and I hate that part of me. I make a vow to be more caring for other people but then we are going into a war and this is not the mindset for a soldier.
Tobias stops by the door to wait for me. I hope that we didn't see me withdraw my gun and if he did, he's not going to say anything about it. I join Tobias at the closed door and kiss him heavily on his lips. I'm so glad that he didn't pull away. I'm sick of keeping my distance.
"Christina's going to be in there." I say quietly.
"I'll stay with you. It'll be fine."
I open the door and see the group on the other side of the room, sat the floor near the railing that overlooks the chasm. Tobias grabs my hand and we walk together.
"About time." Christina says with aggression.
