So this is the last chapter (chapter 5) told from Four's PoV because, I dunno, I just thought it would be a good idea. Plus who doesn't love a look into Fours mind?
Four's PoV (!)
Uriah starts yelling about taking shelter and then all of a sudden we're all running after him. He opens a door to a closet under the stairs and we all squish in. I start to feel claustrophobic but then my heart leaps when I see I'm up against Tris.
Marlene starts muttering something about, 'what if' this and 'what if' that. Uriah puts his arm around her and starts whispering encouraging things to her.
Outside the storm is really loud.
"Okay, I think we'll be safe-" Zeke starts but never gets to finish his sentence because suddenly the roof is blown off and then one of the walls fall down. We all go stumbling onto the remains of the house.
I look around just as a piece of wood hits Tris in the forehead. She comes flying into me and I quickly help her stand. "You okay?" I ask.
She touches her forehead and I see a huge cut right above her eye.
"Yeah, I'm good." She doesn't look good. Not that she looks bad, but like her cut doesn't look good.
Zeke tugs on my arm and I follow him over to a fallen tree. He lifts up a few branches and I see that the branches made some sort of a canopy-cave thing.
"We could hide under there!" Zeke yells.
I nod and turn to go get the others. I help Will and Christina while Zeke helps Uriah, Marlene and Shauna. I turn to look for Tris when I hear screaming. I feel fear build up in my chest as I see her get crushed by huge wave. She must've been pulled out by the current.
I start to swim out to her and yell, "hold on! I'm coming!"
She looks up with a glint of hope in her eye. Once I'm near enough she grabs onto my arm to help herself stay up.
"We need to get back to the-" But I cut off when I see the wave forming behind her.
"What?" She asks turning around. She gasps when she sees it. The wave must be three times my height and it's just getting bigger.
"When I tell you to you have to hold your breath for as long as you can!" I instruct. She nods and I count, "One! Two! Three!"
I suck in a breath and the wave crashes over us. I lose Tris almost immediately, so I start to swim to the surface to look for her. I reach the surface just in time to be hit with another wave. I swim up fast but don't see Tris so I start to yell her name.
Finally her head pops up and she yells, " Four! I'm over here!" She looks ready to yell again when a third huge wave crashes down on us. I get to the surface pretty fast but I don't see her. After about ten seconds of nothing I start to swim over to where she went down. I don't see her so I dive under water.
I keep my eyes open and finally catch sight of her light blond hair. I grab her arm and pull her up. She starts coughing and I put an arm around her to keep her above the water.
"We need to swim to the side," I tell her.
"I don't... Don't think I can," She says.
I wish, I wish with all my heart she didn't have to do this but we have to go now. "I know," I say. "But we have to go now before another round of waves come."
She takes a deep breath and nods. We start swimming and don't stop until we reach the beach. Tris immediately collapses on the sand.
"Tris I know you're tired," I say. "But we have to get farther away from the water or the wind'll blow you back out."
She sighs and stands up. She follows me to the fallen tree and we crawl underneath. All the guys have their arms around their girlfriends. I wish I could do that to Tris.
"Are you smiling?" Uriah asks Tris.
I look over and see a small smile forming on her lips."You all just look so cute together."
A cold breeze gets through the branches and Tris shivers. She curls up into a ball and the waiting begins.
