Four's POV -Dream State

The world seemed to glow as the sun grew hotter. My eyes blur completely as the sun seemed to shine brighter. The sound of laugher and music sounds distant, but close as my eyes seem to adjust to the sun again. I don't know how but I have seen this before. The familiar dryness of the desert seemed to be comforting but I still don't remember getting here.

"Hey are you ready, we start in like five minutes." Shauna calls from behind me. I turn to face her not knowing where I was. But as I saw the giant stage and swam of flashy cars behind her, I knew where I was almost instantly.

The sand dune we were standing on was high above the activity, so I could see almost everything.

"Yeah, give me a sec." I tell her getting a good look at the sand consumed track. Noticing how my voice was higher than normal.

As I watch as she slowly makes her way down; I hear faint laughter and a pair of frail arms wrap around my waist hugging me from the side. Looking at the mysterious person, I'm mostly relieved to see the soft face of a smiling Tris.

She continues to smile at me before moving slightly and taking hold of my hand. As we walk, her grip on my hand is almost unnoticeable with how loose it is. It's almost as if she's not even holding on at all.

But as we make our way through the people we make a break to find two cars stationed at the starting line. Zeke stands in front of the one closest to me and offers me the keys.

Taking the keys from Zeke, I give him a knowing smile and laugh twirling the keys on one finger. After getting in and starting the engine. It purrs to life and I instantly get excited never dropping the smile from my face as Uriah walks in front of us.

I still haven't looked at my opponent that I'm paired with but as I look to the right of me her blonde hair and huge smile where all to recognisable. Tris was placed in the bright yellow bumblebee Camero beside me and I laughed.

Uriah looks at the two of us nodding to ask if we're ready to go and raises his hands high above his head. Within a few seconds he drops his hands signalling for us to go.

As I press my foot to the floor, I can take a second to admire the roar of the engine and the sounds between gear changes.

Lingering for a moment as the car gains revs, I change up a gear. I pass Tris laughing as I do so and cross the finish line.

When we pull up at the front of our usual tent. I get out and walk over to Tris as she connects or hands. We enter together and I can see our usual set up with a few couches and coolers mainly full of energy drinks since non of us will drink on a day like today.

I take a seat on one of the free couches leaning next to me so I can grab a can from the cooler beside me. Uriah comes through the tarp not long after that Christina following close behind him.

The sun seems to fade not long after my final race of the day. So Zeke and I set up a fire outside. Causally the group starts to come outside with us bringing the food Uriah took with him.

"Four, are you okay?" I turn my head to look next to me as Tris moves to face me, her hand rests gently on my arm so my attention is on her.

"Yeah." I reply more like a sigh. Her eyes are still focused on me as if she thought I was lying.

A couple of seconds pass before she stands turning slightly to grab my hand as she waits for me to get up. I hold her hand tightly as I get up neither of us acknowledging our sudden absence as we enter our tent.

When we finally stop were in almost the dead centre of the room. She looks at me with a small smirk on her face before pulling me in for a kiss...
