I'm back and as promised, I give you all a new chapter. But, I have a few things to say. First off, I changed the last chapter so I recommend that, if you hadn't already read the revised chapter, reread the last chapter. Secondly, I'm not a doctor nor do I know a lot about medicine and stuff like that so sorry if some information is incorrect or is kind of confusing. Lastly, this story will be done in about 2 or 3 chapters...maybe 4. In this chapter, a special guest comes in to help Tris.

I don't own Divergent.

Chapter 7

I screamed as I fell after Peter released me. I thought that this was going to be the end until I felt a hand grab my arm, stopping me from falling. I felt myself being pulled up, over the railing, and back on the ground. I looked up and saw Zeke staring at me. He removed the gag from my mouth and untied me. I looked past Zeke and saw Peter lying on the ground, unconscious. "Tris? Tris, are you ok?" I snapped my attention back to Zeke and stared at him; he looked concerned. I wanted to thank him but I couldn't form the words in my mouth.

Suddenly, the sickly feeling I had earlier came back; only this time, it was ten times worse. I felt really cold and my body was shaking like crazy. My head was pounding and spinning which made me feel like I was going to throw up. I saw the ground coming closer to me and it was then I realized I was falling. Zeke stopped me then felt my forehead. "Shit, you're burning up." Zeke picked me up and started to carry me away from the chasm, stopping only to kick Peter in the head. As Zeke continued to walk, I heard voices calling my name but I was too tired to answer them. I then closed my eyes and fell asleep.

FOUR'S POV

As I was running to the chasm, all I could think about was how I was going to torture Peter once I found him. I saw a figure walking towards us and, at first, I thought it was Peter. I calmed down when I saw it was only Zeke but worry etched in my when I saw him carrying Tris. "Tris!" She didn't seem to answer me but Zeke noticed me. He stopped and waited for me to come to him; I stood by his side and looked at Tris. There were cuts and bruises adoring her arms, legs, and face, her clothes were a little torn, and she was shaking badly. I looked up at Zeke for an explanation on why Tris was shaking.

"She's burning up, Four," Zeke said, handing Tris over to me. "You have to get Tris to a doctor, fast; I'll take care of Peter." I nodded and then took off towards the infirmary.

Up ahead, I saw Christina and Uriah and they stopped when they saw me holding Tris. Christina looked like she was on the verge of tears while Uriah looked like he wanted to beat Peter up.

"I'm taking Tris to the infirmary; Zeke's handling Peter," I quickly explained to them. Christina went with me while Uriah headed over to the chasm; probably to give Peter a piece of his mind. I would have, too, but I have precious cargo in my arms.

We got to the infirmary a few minutes later just as Max was coming out with some doctors. "She needs help!" I exclaimed. The doctors sprinted into action and took Tris out of my arms and into the infirmary.

"Peter?" asked Max.

"Zeke and Uriah are handling him."

Max nodded and headed towards them. Christina and I walked into the infirmary and sat in the waiting area, knowing it would be a while before the doctors told us anything. I leaned my head against the wall and sighed. Please be ok, Tris, I thought before I closed my eyes.

"Four! Four, wake up!" I snapped my eyes open to find Christina staring at me. "Finally, you're awake. I was shaking you and everything but you wouldn't wake up. I thought I was going to have to slap you to wake you up." I glared at her and was about to retort when she said, "West wants to talk to us about Tris." I stood up and followed Christina into another room, where West was.

"How is Tris?" I asked.

"She has many cuts around her arms, legs, face, and stomach area. Some needed stitches while others weren't that bad. She lost a lot of blood as well but we have her hooked up to a blood bag to restore the blood loss," West explained.

"But Tris will be ok?" asked Christina.

West looked away from us and bit his lip. I started to get worried when West didn't answer right away.

"What's wrong?"

West sighed. "If it was only the cuts and the blood loss, then Tris would be fine. But…"

"But what?"

"Tris has a very high fever; it's almost 107 degrees. Apparently, Peter forced her to drink the medicine Tris was allergic to. We don't really have medicine Tris needs on stock right now."

"Why don't you just get more?" Christina asked.

"We would have to contact the Erudite faction and wait for them to get the medicine, send it to us, and give it to Tris. This doesn't take a day or two; it would be a while to receive the medicine."

"How long does it take?" I asked.

"About a week."

"That doesn't seem too bad," said Christina.

"It actually is. If we can't give Tris the medicine to bring down her fever, then…Tris will die."

"What…What are you saying?" I asked, even though I probably already knew the answer.

"By the time we get the medicine, Tris would already be dead."

I stood there in shock as I let West's words sink in. This can't be happening, I thought.

"Can't you tell the Erudite that you need the medicine ASAP?!" exclaimed Christina as tears threatened to spill from her eyes.

"I can try but I don't know if we'll get it any faster."

"How long does she have?" I asked, trying to keep myself from crying.

"About three or four days."

"Can I see her?"

West nodded then led me and Christina into the room that Tris was in. When we walked into the room, I had to keep myself from falling to my knees when I saw Tris. Tris was lying on the bed, hooked up to machines and other things. She was tucked under blankets but the blankets couldn't stop Tris from shaking. Her face was pale and sweat was pouring down her face. "I'll leave you two alone with Tris," West said before leaving the room.

Christina ran over to Tris and grasped her hand. I walked over to Tris because I knew that if I ran, I would break down. I grabbed Tris's other hand and, using my thumb, traced soothing circles on the back of her hand. I placed my forehead against hers and closed my eyes. "I'm so sorry," I whispered.

The next day, West told me that he ordered the medicine but it wouldn't arrive for at least four days. At least it was quicker but West didn't know if Tris would still be alive by then. He told me that Tris's fever climbed to 110 and her being injured didn't help either. When I went into the room, Tris was paler and she was shaking a lot more. I grabbed her hand and held it. I kissed her forehead and begged her to wake up. Tris hasn't woken up yet; not even when our friends came to visit her.

Yesterday, during dinner, Christina told everyone about Tris's condition and they, too, were shocked. They came with us to check on Tris and they talked to her but she wouldn't wake up. The girls were crying and me and the other guys wanted to go and kill Peter. Speaking of Peter, I'm going to find out what his sentence would be.

The door opened and I looked towards it. Uriah walked in and sat down on the opposite side of Tris. The two of us sat in silence, watching Tris as she slept, until I decided to break the silence. "What's going to happen to Peter?"

"We tried to get him to talk at first but he wouldn't say anything. Christina lent us some truth serum and we injected Peter with it. Peter then told us that he tried to kill Tris during initiation but couldn't because you saved her. He still wanted to get rid of Tris and with her getting first only added fuel to the fire. Peter said he overheard you talking with Max when Tris was sick and thought it would be a perfect time to get Tris, since she was sick and all. When he found out that Tris was getting better, Peter ordered the medicine and forced her to take it so that she would get sick again. Peter told us that he was going to keep on doing this until Tris died but when West told us about him ordering the medicine, which he overheard, Peter decided to end it before we could find Tris."

I kept my anger under control as Uriah told me all of this. "What's his sentence?" I was hoping Uriah would say execution.

"We haven't decided yet. It would either be life in prison or execution. Also, Peter tried to shift the blame to Eric."

I stared at Uriah. "Really?"

"Yeah, Peter said that Eric order him to go and kidnap Tris. Eric said he had nothing to do with it and the two started arguing with each other. After Peter was on the truth serum, he said Eric had nothing to do with it and just used it as an excuse to get out of trouble."

"Figures." There was a knock at the door and we both turned to it. "Yes?" The door opened and Max walked in. "Four, I need to speak with you." I nodded then turned to Uriah.

"Look after Tris for me."

He nodded and I got up and walked out of the room with Max. "What is it, Max?"

"There's a woman here saying she's looking for Tris. The woman's from Abnegation and I was wondering if you knew who she is."

"Where is she?"

"I had her wait in my office while I left to come get you." I followed Max to his office and walked in. A woman with brown hair in a bun wearing gray clothes stood there. My eyes widen in recognition; this is Natalie Prior, Tris's mom.

"What are you doing here, Mrs. Prior?" I asked.

Natalie turned to me and smiled. "Hello again, Four. How are you?"

"Not so good."

Natalie's smile faded. "Why, what's wrong?"

"Tris is very sick and the medicine the doctors have, Tris is allergic to. They ordered different medicine but the doctors think Tris won't make it."

Concern etched in Natalie's face. "It's a good thing I came." Natalie turned to a basket beside her and took out a small bottle. "While I was cleaning my house yesterday, I had a bad feeling something happened to Tris. I made a little basket for her and I remembered to pack this." I stared at the bottle and saw that it was medicine. Hope filled me and I looked up at Natalie; she smiled and nodded. "When Tris was nine, she started coughing so I gave her some medicine. She got even sicker and the doctors told us that she was allergic to the medicine. They gave us a different kind of medicine to give to Tris to make her feel better. This is the medicine Tris needs to feel better."

"We have to go to the infirmary to give Tris the medicine."

Natalie, Max, and I ran out of the office and hurried towards the infirmary. Once there, I walked up to West and told him about the medicine Natalie has. West smiled and we walked into Tris's room. West took out a needle, filled it with the medicine, and inserted it into Tris's body.

"Now that we have some medicine for Tris, she'll have a fighting chance," said West.

"Is she going to be all right?" I asked.

"Since we have some medicine now and we're supposed to get even more in a couple of days, I think she'll be all right. We won't know, though, until later today or tomorrow."

I sighed and then turned to Natalie. "Thank you, Mrs. Prior."

"Please, call me Natalie," she said then turned to Max. "Are you one of the leaders of Dauntless?"

"Yes I am."

"Do you mind if I stay here for a while until Tris gets out of the hospital?"

Max thought about it for a while then said, "Sure."

"Thank you."

Max nodded. "Anyway, I have to go meet with the other leaders. We're going to decide about what Peter's fate will be?" He then left.

"Who's Peter?" Natalie asked.

I then filled Natalie in on what has happened to Tris for the past few days.

Yes, Natalie Prior has come to help Tris. I couldn't remember if Tris told her mom her new name on Visiting Day but I think she did. Also, I thought about making a story where Marcus kidnaps Tris and Tobias and tortures them. What do you guys think? Please review :)
