Hey I decided I would post this chapter now instead of tomorrow. So I hope you like the early post!


Tobias

I wish I would've have followed Matthew or something. Waiting is agonizing. Chris, Zeke and I have been waiting by the border sign. That's all we've done for the past few hours. Chris and Zeke have been talking, but I remain silent. They know the loss of Tris was harder on me than on them.

After all they were able to let go. Look at me I have been holding on for years. I guess maybe it paid off. Chris comes over to me and put her arm around my shoulder. I look at her quiz ally and I see she's been crying. She looks at me and asks, "What?" "Nothing," I shrug with a playful grin.

Chris rolls her eyes, "Okay why aren't you a little happy right now? Just think were going to have Tris back!" I keep my eyes forward. Nothing would make me happier to see her again. I wonder how much she's grown. I mean she must be almost 19, a lot can change in three years. Well maybe not I haven't changed that much. I haven't grown or anything. Well my hair is about centimeter longer than when I was first at the Bureau.

"I am excited, but what if... I don't know it's just..." I groan I can't put my thoughts into words. Chris understands though. "I know what you mean, but I just hope my sister is back," Cheis replies then steps away from me. I watch her leave and sigh. I hope Matthew has her. If not I'm sure I will die from a broken heart. Personally I think the old four and Tobias died a long time ago. Yet a piece of them is still with me. Whatever it's in the past.

After another few minutes the clock strikes 4 and nothing is here. I sigh and think this was for nothing. Then the more positive side of me says, 'Matthew said to be here at 4 not that he would.' I let this thought encourage me. Then I see something. I grip my gun to my chest and watch carefully. I see it again a figure in the distance. Two figures actually.

"Guys," I say. Chris and Zeke are by my side. "Maybe it's them," suggest Zeke and I hope so. "Chris turn your headlights on," I say and she nods. Zeke and I step away from the front the car as Chris turns the lights on. Two people one make and I'm assuming the second is a female. "Here I'll go ahead you two wait," I say and niether of then protest. My guess is they understand or they just don't want to go. Either way it doesn't matter. I walk forward.

Each step feels like a mile dragging me down. It could be I'm exhausted. After all it is 4 in the morning. Oh well I can sleep later. The light isn't hitting them to wel so I pull out my flashlight to see. The second is leaving agaisnt the first then I see their faces. I see Matthews face first then I see the girls. She looks up at me then her eyes flicker with confusion then recognition. I didn't recognize her at first then the features make sense. Tris.

I can't breathe I can't speak. She's here it's her. "Tris," I scream at the top my lungs and she stares at me. I drop my gun and flashlight and run to her. She let's go of Matthew and hobbles over to me. 15 feet, 10 feet and the distance gets shorter. "Four," she breathes infront me then falls into my arms. I grip her close and fall to the ground with her.

"Oh my God Tris," I sob and hug her, "I love you so much." She relaxes in my arms and smiles. Her eyes stern and beautiful, but also weak. Matthew is now by us and he says, "She's hurt you have to get her to a hospital." I nod then look back at Tris. "I'm fine," she chokes but I don't buy it. I lost her once I won't do it again. I lift her up bridal style and jog back to the car.

"Don't worry Tris you'll be okay," I say and she nuzzled into my chest. Zeke and Chris are alert when they see Tris. Christina is crying and Zeke is speechless. "We have to go she's hurt," I say anxiously. Chris nods, "then what are we waiting for let's go!" She hops in the car, Zeke is on the passenger while I go in the back with Tris.

"Wait Matthew are you coming," Chris asks and he shakes his head. "No I have to make it seem I lost her, just get her out of here." Before I knew it Chris was off and we were flying to the city. In a few minutes we made it. Before I get out I look at Tris to see where she was hurt. I found a bullet wound in her leg and a burn on her side. What happened? It doesn't matter. The only thing that does matter is that she's here and it going to be okay.

*One hour earlier* Tris

I have been waiting for some sign from Matthew. Recently I was informed he left on business thing. Well that's just great. What if it was a hoax? What if I wasn't going to see my friends again? The thought hurts my chest. I have to think of something better. With a sigh I look at the time. 3 am. I am exhausted, but I can't sleep. Whatever Matthew is planing I need to be ready. Before I can do anything else my door opens.

It's Matthew. "Matthew what," I say but he cuts me off. "No time to explain let's go," he says quickly and pulls me out of the room. Suddenly the ground begins shake and I hear a loud crash. "What was-" I am cut off again, "Just keep moving." Is all he says to me. I quicken my paste then I hear, "Beatrice has escaped repeat Beatrice has escaped!" I glare at Matthew not that he can see.

"I thought you spent all this time planning so it would be unnoticed," I snap and he shakes his head. "Just trust me that's a good friend he's supposed to sound the alarm." This seems like a poorly excited plan. Maybe there's more to it than I realize. What if he has more of the plan that is happening now? *POW* A gun shot rings in my ears and a terrible pain pierces my leg. I grit my teeth and fall, but Matthew catches me. "It's alright were almost to the back entrance," Matthew says as I start hobbling.

"Matthew stop," I hear a woman yell then a gunshot. It doesn't hit either of us just a light. We turn around to see Nita holding a gun. Of course she shot me. "You are not going anywhere Beatrice. And Matthew your plan was full proof except for one thing. My operative who was supposed to sound your alarm."

Matthew cursed and I glared. Without warning Matthew shot his gun and hit Nita in her arm. She cried out and we took our chance. "I will find you Beatrice after all let's not forget this," she calls then I feel immense heat on my side. It burns like fire and I want to scream. I grit my teeth but it's not helping with the pain. Then the world around me goes dark.

I wake up half conscious on Matthews shoulder. "What where," I stutter and Matthew shushes me. "Relax your hurt pretty bad. Were almost to the border where yor friends are." "Wait what else happened," I ask and he sighs. "It doesn't matter Tris, but I will tell you this Nita doesn't remember our escape." I don't push the matter further. I'm kind of scared to.

As we keep moving I see headlights and figures. Is it them? I hope so. Suddenly the pain in my leg and side become more intense. Now I completely rely on Matthew to keep me upright. One of the figures is walking this way and I look down. I'm afraid of what I might see. Will my friends be angry or happy or what? There is more light on Matthew and I. I decide to look out and I see a man. For a minute I don't know him then I see it's Four. It's Four he's here.

"Tris," he shouts. I can't tell whether it was anger or joy. But he's running this way so I'm assuming joy. I move away from Matthew and hobble over. Were so close. He's coming to me for me. Only a five feet between us. "Four," I breathe and fall into his arms. He holds me close and tight. Although my side hurts I don't care. I have waited to long for this. For this moment.

Four says something but I don't make it out. Matthew says something about me being hurt. I choke, "I'm fine." It's a lie and Four knows it. Truthfully I want to push it. That's only because I want as much time with him as possible. He lifts me up in his arms and I start to lose consciousness. Either blood loss or the heat on my side. It doesn't bother me though. I am with Four and that's all that matters. We are together again.
