Chances

It is dark all around me. There is nothing but emptiness. Slowly I can feel the pain pulsing through me. Every part of my body aches as I become more aware. First I smell something unpleasent. It takes me a moment to figure out what the smell is. It was the smell of smoke and fire. However it quickly fades into reguakr air. As my conciousness returns I realize I am not on the ground.

I am moving, but not moving. I am in the arms of some strong. My head is resting on the persons shoulder. Slowly I open my eyes to see the world is bright. My vision is blurry, but I know I am in the arms of my lover. His grip is firm on me as he walks. Swiftly I move my left arm from it's hanging position and place it on his shoulder. A momemy later he stops in his tracks. My vision is clear now and I can make out every feature on his face.

As he looks down at me, I move my right arm around his neck. Once my hands grasp each other I lift my head off his firm shoulder. His eyes stare into mine with pure joy and happiness. He is covered in black powder along with a cut on his forehead. "Did we make it," I ask softly. Tobias smiles a smile that fills me with joy, "We made it. We made it Tris."

I close my eyes as I breath a laugh, "Do I want to know what happened?" Tobias chuckles, but does not answer me straight away. After a moment of pure silence he speaks with a grin, "You blew it up. After you fired your gun more shots went off. Someone shot some explosives which blew up the place. All the people got out in time except a few. Marlene didn't survive niether did Will and Christina... I think she's gone, but I don't know."

My heart aches to hear those words. Memories of Christina and I play through my mind. She was like the sister I never had. It seems as though Will was just dead and alive again. Now he is gone for good. And Marlene. I cannot believe she is gone. At least she will be with Uriah again. Tears fill my eyes as I bury my face into Tobias' shoulder.

In a hoarse voice I dare ask, "What about Zeke and Johan?" Tobias nodded, "Zekes okay and is with the others, as for Johan I know he was hurt, but ai don't know if her made." Disappointment hits me hard. I hope Johan is okay. Quickly I look around to see where we are. We are no where. Just a road that seems to go on forever. "How long ago was this and where are we," I ask curiously.

It was then I noticed the sun was low in the sky. I want to assume sunrise, but I it's to dark and has an orange glow. If it were sunrise it would be brighter. "This was several hours upon hours ago and we are about a mile away from the city," Tobias says, "You have been out since then and I have been walking." Suddenly I feel a little guilty, but I also feel very romanced by him. To think he carried me all the way out here. It's sweet. "I can walk now I'my sure I'll be fine," I say in a gentle voice.

Tobias sets me on feet and steadies me. At first I have a little trouble because my legs ached. Once I can stand on my own, I face him. Our eyes lock for several moments. We lean into each other until our foreheads touch. His breathing is shallow while mind is heavy. For ages we stay this way. Just enjoying the sound of the other breathing. As we stand here so close lI begin to cry.

The hot tears stream my cheeks and the do not stop. After everything we have been through here we are. We have made it through all of this horrible stuff. I lick my eyes as I suck in a shaky breath. All I want to do is be with him. Just to be with him forever. I move my face away first to look up at him. We do not say anything. His dark blue eyes hold my gaze as I give him a weak smile.

Slowly we lean into each other again. This time we press our lips against each other's. As hard and passionately as I can I kiss him. The way our lips move is as of they were one. My arms snake around his neck until my hands find his neck and hair. I grip him tightly as his hands find their way to my waist. I smile through the kiss and I can feel he is smiling to.

Although the pain that lies behind us and the pain that is soon to come we have this. We have this moment to remind us that the pain does not last. It does not last forever. "I love you," he says between kisses as he pulls me closer. I do not stop kissing him, but I do breath, "I love you too." Soon we will break this kiss and make our way down the road again.

Who knows what waits for us back there. Who knows what lies at the end of the road. It does not matter to me though. I have Tobias with me. This is how it should be. I am his and he is mine. Together we live another day and will face the challenge of tomorrow. Although I think our challenges are over. I think for once we are free. We do not have a fresh start. Instead we have something better. We have chances.
