ELIZABETH'S POV
Having died only 3 years ago, I still missed my mom horribly. It was worse for my dad. Sometimes, even now, when I couldn't sleep, I would watch him. And sometimes he still cried himself to sleep saying moms name over and over. "Tris, Tris." It was sad to watch. I don't know how long he would mumble in his sleep, but when he woke up, I ran as silently as I could and jumped in bed before he could see me. That's what happened tonight after we got home from the infirmirary. My arm hurt really badly and I was tired from all the crying. Dad sent me to bed early today and went to bed himself. Scince the pain was keeping me up, I got up and walked to his room. Tonight it seemed worse than normal. Daddy was speaking clearer and louder than he usually did. It seemed as if he were having a nightfmare.
TOBIAS'S POV
~Bang! The gunshot rang off and I watched helplessly as Tris crumpled to the ground. "Nooooooooooooo!"I heard myself scream. But everything was growing fuzzy and dull, my surroundings fading from my life. All that there was me running to Tris's dead body, and Eric's voice. "Do you see what happens when you break the rules Four?"he spat out at me. I crumpled to the ground where Tris lay. How was I going to survive this? Why? "Well?"Eric's voice asked. I nodded, to overwhelmed in grief to do anything else. "Someone go get his kid."somebody said. Who knows how long later I heard a childs footsteps come pounding toward me. Then, arms wrap around my side and wetness on my shirt. I looked ddown to see my seven year old daughter, blond hair blue eyes, torn about her mother's death. We sat there together, crying, grieving. At some point Tris's body was taken away to be discarded. . I just stood there and watched. If there was going to be a funeral, I didn't know. Seeing as this was a public exacution, probably not. Eventually,I stood up and walked back to my room, Elizabeth trailing behind. I put her to bed and then walked outside and to the chasm. Thats when I heard the screaming. Someone had pushed Eric off the ledge. I watched him plunge to his death.~
I woke up and saw Elizabeth quickly run to her room. I got up to go check on her. Besides, it was time that I told her how her mom really died, not the story that she knew. Accidental murder. The story told to her by the dauntless leaders. I walked in and silently closed the door behind me. She quickly sat up. I sat down beside her. "What's wrong dad?"she asked. I took a deep breath. "I need to tell you how your mom really died."I answered. Her eyes grew wide. "R-really died?"she asked again. "Yes, Liz, Really died." She sat ready to listen.
