~Tobias~
I stare at the girl now lying on the floor of the training room. She passed out after her breakdown. It's been awhile since I have seen something like this. I'm not even sure what exactly is going on anymore.
"Tobias… should… should we help her," he croaks and stares at me wide-eyed. We don't see things like this anymore. People around the city are calm and peaceful. Crime has gone down, and tempers have ceased.
"I don't know. She could be a part of some sort of resistance Zeke," I whisper just in case the girl can hear us. I'm really unsure if we should because I am scared. This girl is in my old faction's uniform. She is using our old space. Am I dreaming? Did I pass out after the zip line? That can't be. This would have never even been in the depths of my own mind despite all that I have been through.
I look to my right and notice Zeke is no longer beside me. He is running to the girl. His hand digs into his pocket, and he retrieves a small first aid kit. Zeke quickly cleans her wounds, and inspects her hand. He looks back at me and flashes me a thumbs up. That must mean it's nothing serious, and that she is out like a light for the moment. He sprints back and grabs the neck of my shirt. Soon we are out in the hallway and out of breath.
"What do we do? I don't think we should leave her there," he says between breaths. We are both out of shape.
"I DON'T KNOW ZEKE," I whisper shout. My heart is in my ears. This is too much. Dauntless is gone. I feel as though I've seen a ghost, but my friend has seen the same thing as me. He touched her! So she must be real. I punch him and run. That's our signal to clear out. We head back to the chasm where the others are.
"Where have you guys been," Christina asks with an eyebrow raised. She crosses her arms. Someone is definitely suspicious. Ah, ever the candor. I know we don't help by running towards them the way we did. We probably look crazed. I catch my breath and compose myself.
"Just goofing around like old times," I say with a smirk on my face. For some reason I feel like we really shouldn't tell the others of what we just saw. Zeke nods in agreement and beams a smile. I don't know how he pulls it off so easily.
Christina looks at both of us skeptically, but she nods a few seconds later. "Well are you two ready to head back home," she asks us and smiles sadly. I know she is torn because this was supposed to be her home for a short while, and it was ripped from her.
I look to all my friends. They seem happy and sad. Who could blame them? We have all been through so much alone and together all at once.
"Eh, I think I'm going to hang around for a little bit just to check things out before I go, ok?" I look to all of them and smile. I'm not sure why, but I'm curious about this person hiding out in Dauntless headquarters.
They all give me an uneasy look and then look from one to another. "GUYS… I'm fine. It was… a good day. It was sad, but it was good. Tris had a wonderful time, right?" I beam. She would have loved every moment of it, and I know she does love it. She is always with me. And I know she would follow her curious instincts to find out what is going on here as well.
The gang smiles back. We all hug each other one at a time. Zeke and I are the only two remaining.
"Tobias, what are you doing?" He gives me a weird look. I don't even know how to decipher it.
"I don't know," I say in a steady voice and run my fingers through my hair. I should have cut it, but I've been too busy with work. "Something weird is happening here, and curiosity is getting the best of me," I lower my voice and look to my old friend.
He nods in agreement and strokes his chin. "WELL, I guess I'll keep you company tonight then," he says through a smile. "But don't you think we should quiet down and find somewhere to lay low?"
This is a good idea. We have no idea who she is, and we have no idea if there are others. There is only one place to go and that is to the control room.
