A/N:
Hi guys right now I'm writing this chapter to the song Flaws by Bastille. Check out the song if you haven't heard it. Thanks for all of the follow, favorites, and reviews I got yesterday. We made it to 50 reviews! Thanks to Narwhals 4 life for getting me to 50 reviews. Cookies for all (::) (::) (::). ON WITH THE STORY!
TRIS POV
It's dark wherever I am. No traces of light or human life. I'm not even sure if I'm completely here yet. I don't hear anything and I can't see anything. I don't know who I am or where I am. But somehow I can feel my memories; like a cloudy mass in the back of my brain too hard to reach. Then all of a sudden I hear the cawing of crows in the distance. Crows why does that sound so familiar? The cawing is followed by the sound of rushing water. I still don't feel anything or see anything. The cawing raises an octave to the point of annoyance. But I can't cover my ears. The water sounds like it's getting stronger. And even though there's nothing here it sounds like the water is crashing among rocks.
Why does all of this have some symbolic felling to me? It's at the tip of my tongue but my mouth can't form it into words. I hear something whisk past me and hit something hard. I don't hear any clattering so it must have stuck, whatever that something is. Another one whisks past me and hits the hard surface behind me. But I can't turn around to see what it is. Not that it would do me any good it's still completely dark in here. The whisking sounds familiar to, like it happened to me or somebody. Another one whisks by but this one takes my ear with it. I hear the clunk which means it hit the surface but my ear feels tingly. Not necessarily painful but different.
Something wet trickles down my ear. It's sticky and slow. Then I hear nothing, not the water not the crows, I don't even feel the liquid run down my ear anymore. Everything rushes past me. It feels like I'm in a wind tunnel. Then it all comes to a stop, including me. I hear a voice in the distance. It takes a while before the voice sharpens and I can actually hear the words properly. "Promise me," the voice whispers, "that you won't do go. For me. Do this one thing for me." The voice sounds broken, male, and tired. For some reason I feel like I owe this promise to him. It takes a lot of energy but somehow I get my mouth to form words and reply. "Okay."
TOBIAS POV
"Okay."
I tense up automatically, all of my tiredness drains away. I look up at her eyes to see if they're open. There not but her eyes are moving from side to side under her eyelids like they would in a dream. I've sitting in her room for two hours and I've seen no life from her at all until this very moment. I've gotten to the point where I gave up all hope of her waking up today. But Tris is full of surprises. I scoot the hard plastic chair closer and reach for hand. I give it a light squeeze and wait a couple of minutes. She doesn't squeeze back.
"Okay, I promise," she says her voice sounding weak like it took a lot out her to say that. Her heart monitor speeds up a little. The dashed lines become a little bit bigger and beeping becomes a little bit faster. Before those lines were small adolescent hills. That monitor has been my life line; I would glance up at it every few minutes to check that she was still okay. Those little small adolescent hills are what have kept me from punching every living soul in the infirmary. I know it's not their fault that she ended up here but my temper can only go so far when it comes to the life of Tris and the twins.
Those horrible thoughts that have been haunting my mind for the past six hours haze away a little bit. Having the assurance that Tris is going to live helps a little bit. Suddenly I feel pressure in my hand. She squeezed back, she squeezed back! The beeping gets a little faster and doctors and assistance nurses start piling in. eventually they kick me out so they can all fit in there. I decide to apologize to Marlene for blowing up in her face earlier. I know it wasn't her fault I was freaking out; she was just trying to calm me down. She's sitting at the front desk looking through files and inserting stuff into the computers. She glances up at me when she hears footsteps.
Most of the Dauntless are asleep or drunk in the pit so I'm pretty sure she wasn't expecting to hear more people. The infirmary is mostly empty at this time except for the patients that need overnight watching and the families that care enough to stay with them.
"Hey, I'm sorry for blowing up in your face earlier."
"It's okay I know you were just freaked out by the whole idea," she replies.
"Yeah but that doesn't mean I should have took my feelings out on you and I'm sorry for that. I could have taken my anger out on the other doctors."
This gets a laugh out of her. "Okay I accept your apology."
"Tris is starting to wake up," the causes her to look up and stop what she's doing
"She is?"
"Yeah earlier she replied to something I said to her and she squeezed my hand."
She's about to reply but then I hear footsteps coming from Tris's room. I turn back around after saying talk to you later to Marlene. Ellie and Dr. Lopez are standing in front of her door looking down at their clipboards. They glance up when they hear me coming.
"How is she," I ask them.
"She's awake and stable," Dr. Lopez says.
"She's also asking for you," Ellie says as she moves out of the way. I walk into the room and I come eye to eye with the most gorgeous blue-gray eyes I've ever seen.
"Tobias."
"Tris."
There you go guys another chapter. Sorry it's a little short. Ok you can still put in OCS for the initiation class. I'm probably going to skip Tris's recovery time and go right into initiation. So I need those OCS. Did anyone catch that Insurgent quote I added in there? If you did review: got it. So I know how much you know about Insurgent. Okay so here's the first QOTD for the contest. QOTD: who's your favorite Divergent character? Mines Uriah, he totally describes me. Until next timeā¦.THE CONTEST STARTS NOW!
Peace&Love~MSC
