CHAP. 7

4 TRIS's POV 4

****NOTE 1 MONTH TIME SKIP****

Tobias and Christina are gone again, doing who knows what. That leaves me with Caleb and Zeke. Caleb is studying- of course- and Zeke is looking at old pictures of Uriah. His eyes are watering so I grab his left hand and squeeze hard for a moment. I know that it is hard. It is not fair that I got to live... and he didn't. I was meant to be dead but he wasn't meant to be dead.

"Life isn't fair you know." I say out of context.

Caleb looks up from his books and tells me, "Yeah a lot of things aren't fair."

I sigh. What was I to talk to these two? Obviously they didn't want to talk so I went out and visited Matthew.

"Hey Matthew!" I greet him.

"Tris! I thought I would never see you again!" Matthew laughs with joy.

"Yeah." I respond.

"So, the plan worked out in the end. Except, you weren't supposed to, you know, die. But everything else is alright. Come in." Matthew smooths his shirt over and gestures toward what is apparently his house.

"Nice living quarters." I compliment.

"Hey, I like this nice Tris! But thank you, being a top scientist has his perks." Matthew laughs.

"Wow, is this something from the past?" I gesture to a monitor looking thing. Like a computer but bigger and without a keyboard.

"Yeah, it's called a TV." Matthew places his fingertips on the TV, "Want to try? All it has are 'reruns' whatever that means."

I nod so he presses a button on a remote control and the TV flickers on. Matthew shows me all the 'TV shows' and finally he ends with the last channel and it looks interesting.

"What's this, Matthew?" I ask.

"Oh. That's my favorite show. It's called Doctor Who or something like that." he answers.

We watched that for a while until I bid him good-bye. I hurried home. Hopefully Tobias will be there.

"Hello, Tris." Tobias puts an arm around me.

"Hi, Tobias." I greet.

"I have a surprise, if you don't mind." he tells me.

He guides me to a moonlit room and we walk over to the window. The moon is very bright and beautiful; the stars, I swear are twinkle-ier than before. Still, I don't know what Tobias wants so we stand there for a moment.

"Christina helped me with this; I have to ask you something." Tobias clears her throat.

"Yes. Anything." I gaze at the beautiful lights in the sky. I wonder if anyone from the past has ever been up there in "space" before.

Tobias clears his throat and begins to speak...
