Hey everyone! I am sooooo sorry tht I haven't updated in a while. I had a lot of finals and then I went on vacation but don't worry: I'm back:) enjoy
Tobias POV
I slowly walk back into my bedroom, shocked. Everything is all happening so fast. The notes started arriving two weeks ago and now I am turning myself in. I don't care though, I will gladly die in Tris' place. If she was killed there would be no point in me living anyway; especially if I had the option to save her and didn't take it. I pull a piece of paper from my pocket and write: "take me instead". After I write it I drop it by the front door and hope he doesn't come back and see it... although I know he will.
It is dark now as I go out into the hallways. The entire compound is silent and the only thing I hear is the beating of my heart and the rush of the Chasm. My last night in Dauntless; my last night alive. I continue my slow trek through the halls until I reach the Pit. An eerie type of quiet has come over the usually bustling area tonight. My footsteps echoing around the room is the only noise aside from the Chasm. I make my way down to the railing and lean over it. Of course I will not jump; I never plan to jump. Who knows what would happen to Tris if, for some reason, I was suddenly not there to go in her place.
After a seemingly endless amount of contemplation, I decide that since this is more then likely the end, I have to tell Tris what's going on. If I tell her the whole story I know she won't let me go therefore I decide in that moment that safest way to say goodbye is to write her a note that she will receive after I have already left. By doing this there is no chance of her convincing me to stay because I'll already be gone by the time she knows what is happening, but I can still tell her how much I love her. I sit down right there by the Chasm leaning on the railing and begin to write the letter. When I am finished I seal it and slip it underneath Christina's apartment door. I only hope Tris is still there.
I return to my apartment and open the door. Once inside I find that there is a man sitting on my couch. His face is covered by a mask so I cannot see who he is.
"So, I see you've reached a decision" he says so low no one outside of this room could hear him.
I gulp. I am much more nervous then I thought I would be, but I am Dauntless. With that thought I firmly nod my head.
"Perfect." he says as he stands and ties my hands together, "Come along then."
He wraps something around my face to prevent me from speaking then yanks at my arms pulling me along with him as walks. I follow him out of my apartment, out of the compound, and out of my life.
