POV TRIS
I regain consciousnesses to the sound of squeaking wheels. I suddenly stop moving. In my foggy vision I see Eric's pierced face hovering above mine. I contain a frightened scream.
I thought I was supposed to be dead. "What's going on?" I ask him.
"I saved you." He states plainly, still being vague like always.
"What? Why?" I ask again.
He hesitates before speaking. "Because I love you." My brain freezes. "We have to go." He says then pulls me up off the gurney I lay on but I fall right back down. I hear him curse and mumble about something not wearing off.
"Get back up." He says, nodding towards the gurney. "I'll push you." I, with his assistance, get back on the gurney. He gets behind me and starts pushing me, accelerating to a sprint before he drags his heels across the ground, stopping us.
"What are you doing?" I ask as he runs to the door, slamming a key into the large lock.
"I thought you might want your boyfriend to come along." Once again I freeze. Tobias is still alive? I resist the urge to make my body respond and run to him.
The door opens and I see Tobias. Before I can call out to him he freaks out. "Is she dead?" He screams. "Tris! Tris!"
"No she's not dead, and shut up, we're trying to escape." Eric says harshly. Tobias runs past him, almost knocking him over. He comes over to me and strokes my cheek.
"Tobias." I whisper. "Tris." He mumbles before smashing his lips to mine.
"If we want to make it out alive we need to get a move on." Eric says. We break apart. "Can you walk, Tris?" Tobias asks, his voice full of caring.
"I'll try." I swing my legs over, testing them. "Let's go." I say. I'm not sure how well I'll be able to move but we need to move.
Tobias grabs my hand and we sprint after Eric, who has a gun. We take many sharp turns, many of which I stumble and almost fall over during. I would be lost in the dust if it weren't for Tobias' hand clenched around mine.
We stop suddenly and Eric runs towards a door that looks identical to the door of the cell I was staying in. After a few seconds of fiddling with the lock it swings open, revealing a worn down Uriah. His eyes glance up when he hears the door open, and they fill with the joy I've become so accustomed to when he sees us.
"Come on, we need to get out of here." Eric growls and we begin running again.
Now we all have guns and to my horror, they come into use. On almost every corner we turn groups of guards wait. I try to not look at faces.
We've been running for minutes on end when we finally stop at a window. Eric uses the butt of his gun to smash it. He climbs out first, and jumps a little ways down to a fire escape. He doesn't look back to see if we followed, but just keeps running down the stairs. Tobias quickly lowers me down onto the stairs then jumps on after me, soon followed by Uriah. We run and run down at least four flights of stairs before running back onto the street.
We follow Eric as he runs through ally ways and jumps through broken windows.
I guess my body wasn't completely back to normal because after running through the streets for a while my legs give out and I fall.
Tobias offers to carry me but I know that won't work.
"Let's just stop running."
"What?" Tobias and Uriah demand; they're the only ones without an aptitude for Erudite.
Eric answers for me, "That's the least logical thing to do; stop moving when people are chasing you. The idea won't even cross their minds." I just nod my head in approval.
We quickly take shelter in an old where house, hiding in a vast storage room.
"So... how 'bout you explain what just happened." Uriah says, addressing Eric.
"Well... I saved you all. Starting with Tris. Jeanine was going to give her the death serum I replaced it with a drug that would make her unconscious for a little bit. I changed the heart monitor to a dead one. The since I work as Jeanine's special assistant I have access to keys, which included yours."
"Why?" Tobias asks.
"I don't have to tell you everything." Eric answers harshly. Bu I think he already told me, he loves me. But what? That doesn't make since.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Uriah speaks. "Well we might as well stay here for the night." We all agree and spread out a little.
POV TOBIAS
These last days have been awful. It started out with thinking Tris was killed, then running around Erudite sector for half a day, then arriving at the trains to find they were guarded by Erudite, and having to go back and hide in Erudite. Right now we're forced to walking back to Dauntless. The only good thing is Tris.
After two days straight of walking we finally see the entrance to Dauntless. We ran out of food this morning so we're all starving.
As we walk to the cafeteria, we're greeted by everyone. It seems that our disappearance was a much bigger deal than I had suspected. Even people I didn't know greet us, telling us they're glad to see we're alive.
As soon as we step foot in the cafeteria, I'm tackled by Zeke. He quickly pulls away and attacks his brother. I feel Tris' hand pulled out of mine, for the first time since we were reunited. I look around and see her a foot off the ground, wrapped in Christina's arms. I can see her face turn red.
After hugging all of our friends, Tris' hand finds mine again. We go to the food line and fill our plates.
We arrive back in my apartment, getting privacy for the first time since we've been reunited. I drag her over to the couch and collapse on it, pulling her on top of me.
"I noticed you haven't let go of my hand." Tris says, a smile in her voice.
I turn to face her and say, meaning every word, "That's because I don't plan on ever letting you go."
so that chapter went up no thanks to your reviews but because I wanted to finish my story that apparently no one likes enough to review. So thanks for encouraging me to write (that's sarcastic. in case you didn't catch on). So that was the last chapter, unless of course you guys tell me ( meaning REVIEW) that you want an epilogue However if I don't get any reviews by tomorrow I won't make one. I just want this story to be over so I can start another. So REVIEW IF YOU WANT AN EPILOGUE!
