Oops- short chapter alert! Oh no! *facepalm* Now I really must start procrastinating (long word) on my R.E. homework due tomorrow before my phone actually runs out of battery. (yes, I write on my phone- not a computer)
Disclaimer: I am a crappy writer, and as I said I write on my phone, so that definitely makes me not Veronica Roth. Am I right or am I right?
Kathy's POV
We sit there, our untouched food haunting the eerie silence of us three. We don't really know what happened. All at once, we push ourselves from the table, and make our way to the pit. The weird thing is, is that we didn't discuss, we just did it. We are definitely not Amity or Candor. "Stop it." I have to remind myself. It's all about the here and now. No time for reminiscing about the past or what could of happened. As we arrive in the pit, we see a small body hanging over the chasm, near death. It's the boy who ran away.
Sophie's POV
Oh no. My legs tell me that I'm running, even though I'm too shocked to register any thought. I'm there as soon as the bruised fingers slip away from the railings, and I catch a wrist. Josh and Kathy comes to help haul him over the metal, and together, we take him to the infirmary.
Kathy's POV
Before we know it, we are being ushered from the waiting room, to a smaller, more plain room. Clearly the work of an Erudite architect. I had to do a project of it in school. There, in a bed, lies the boy. By the time we are sitting by his head, his eyes creep open, and then is startled by what he sees. Sophie starts by saying "So... Your name." "Ethan" I hear Josh mutter under his breath "Well that's a start." I glare at him. "What?!" "Honestly Josh, I thought you were known for not being as stupid as you were!" "Yeah, but where are we?" Sarcasm came from his voice. "Erudite!" "I know now why you went to Dauntless" "Oh what? I happen to be quite smart, I'll have you know" "Are you sure? Or is that one of your memory losses?" "Memory losses?" I ask giggling. "Oh, there are some more symptoms showing. We may have to book you in for next week. I will write that on your hand so you will remember." He says, grabbing the Doctor's pen from the side. "Hey Mr. Erudite, you need to let down your smart side and start being free!" Sophie says, empathising the free. "Here's some bread." The way that she says it, it is low and long, like with the free. I might of erupted into laughter... Ok, I did. And her facial expression! "I'll have you not to make fun of my last name!" Josh says, making a pushing-glasses-up-nose motion, which is when Josh and Sophie start laughing hard as well. And there, there is Ethan, who looks at us like we are some kind of weird children. That, I must say, is pretty accurate in itself.
"This is kinda awkward, can we go now?" Ethan asks, and may I might add that we sort of left him out. Oops. "Yeah, I think that will be good" Sophie replies, and it is very clear to me that Ethan trusts her more than he does for Josh and I.
It also comes crashing back to me that we are late for training. "We're late. Tris is gonna kill us." I tell them, and Ethan swallows. "Kathy, you should of seen enough of Tris now, to see that kill, is a big understatement to what she will do." Josh points out, and that gives us out cue to all start running towards the training room.
As always, reviews would be lovely!
