Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxso guys I just first wanted to say thank you for all the comments means lots! But most importantly I have taken all the ideas into consideration and I think I came up with a way that will please everybody. *wink,wink* so if you want to read on please do. Comments are still appreciated for ideas on future chapters. Thx 👍 Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Eric walks towards me with a knife posed above his head. The dark cast long shadows on his eyes making his eye sockets look like dark pits. "had enough yet" he says. Then brings the knife down in a flash. I wake up gasping for air. It was only a dream tris I say to myself. Only a dream... I look at the clock the numbers blazing green in the dark, 3:30. I lay back down and try to go to sleep but notice I won't be getting anymore sleep today with that memory so fresh in my head. I look around and suddenly notice that I'm not in the dormitory. I'm in a large bedroom that has a view of the city beyond. I start to panic but then hear a snore from the floor. I look over the bed in shock as I see Four sleeping with one arm crossed under his head...sleeping. The memories of last night suddenly come flooding back. He must have brought me here when I was unconscious. I look over at him again as another snore escapes his mouth. For the first time I really look at him. He looks years younger when he's sleep. I swing my legs over the bed and slid into my shoes. I tip toe as quietly as I can to the door. It creaks as it opens and i cringe. Silence. Then I hear another snore. I walk out of the apartment and close the door silently behind me. I climb the stairs that lead to the outside. I walk to the train tracks and wait, soon i see a glow from it's head light getting bigger and soon is right next to me. i sprint to catch up and throw myself into a train car. i land on my side with a slight roll off my side and stand up. I look out the side of the train car. the city flows past me, all lights turn off at 12 so it's pitch black outside. soon i see my destination and jump off the train. I could get in serious trouble because Eric made it clear that initiates were not able to leave the compound without a dauntless member escort, but frankly I really don't care. I just need to get away for a while. I walk into the woods that are about 5 miles away from the abnegation compound, so I'm not at all far from my old home. I really have no idea were I'm going so I just walk forward, trying to avoid vines and broken twigs. I look above me through the trees at the dark sky and find to see that the stars are out. I look through the branches and see a bright full moon. I turn left and draw a breath. It's a small lake that connects to the marsh. It's as smooth as a mirror and reflects the sky making it look double. I sit down on a near by rock locking out at the marsh. It's beautiful how the stars seem to dance in the slight ripple of the water. I sit there and stare at my reflection. A small girl with long blond hair and big blue grey eyes look back at me. I jump when I hear something snap in the woods. I see Four leaning against a tree, in the reflective pool of water. " why are you out here" he says. I don't comment thinking about that. Then decide to give him the simplest answer. "couldn't sleep" I say staring at the pool. He crosses his arms at this. As if saying you expect me to believe that. I don't offer to elaborate so he sighs and walks up to the lake looking down at it. "why are you here?" I question. "I heard you in your sleep" he says. At this I look at him. This needed no more explanation. He keeps his dark eyes trained on the lake. I don't even ask what I said, not wanting to know. I look down and when I look back up he's staring at me with that same peculiar expression he always has on his face. "what?" I say. He shakes his head with and looks away. I look over the horizon and see the golden rays of sunlight filter in from the trees. I get up not wanting to be late for our training. I here four get up behind me. As I get up I walk a few paces and stop when I hear a little clink as something hits the floor. I turn around. Confused I look down to see my necklace had fallen onto the ground. The gentle current lapping up against it as the sunlight reflected on the silver. Four bends down to pick it up. "here. you dropped th-" but then stops as he looks at it. He runs his thumb over the silver pendent. Still wet from the lake. He stares at it. I snatch it from him and stuff it back in my pocket. "I know I'm not suppose to have this but just don't tell anyone. I'm begging" I say. I don't wait for an answer. I run back to the tracks and wait for the train. When it comes I draw myself into the car and slide down to sit. I pull out my necklace and draw absent circles over the pendent. I look out of the train car as it pulls off to see the glass and metal city shine as the sun rises in the sky.
