Tobias POV
"You don't think that she-" Uriah started.
I got up quickly and ran out of the dining hall with Christina and Uriah on my tail. I heard Christina use her communication cuff to get backup over by the chasm. We were right too. Tris was standing on top of the railing about to jump in and end her life.
"Tobias, I love you." She whispered and jumped.
I was too quick though. I grabbed her by the waist and hauled her back over the railing.
"T-tobias?" She said shakily.
"You promised you'd never do that again." I said firmly.
"I'm so, so sorry." She cried.
The backup had arrived and so had everyone else. The new initiates, old Dauntless members, and soldiers. That's when the initiates started whispering. So no one could see Tris's face, I hugged her tightly and carried her away bridal style, keeping her face hidden. Uriah stayed with Lauren to get the initiates back to the dining hall while Christina followed me to my apartment.
"What the hell where you thinking?" Christine hissed.
"I was thinking that my life was way too hard and that my family is gone. I'd forgotten my new family and became selfish. I swear that I'll never do that again. My new family is the best replacement family that I could hope for." Tris smiled sadly at us.
Neither of us could stay mad so the three of us sat on the side of my bed.
"What do we do now? The damn initiates saw you and are probably starting rumors." Christina shook her head in disgust.
"Let them." Tris smiled. "I'm going to be the harshest instructor they've ever met."
"Leave some harshness for us." Uriah said, joining us.
Everyone laughed and made room for Uriah.
"So what are your plans for the initiates?" Christina asks Tris.
"Maybe a little knife throwing and gun shooting." She answers nonchalantly.
"How- Oh." I start laughing.
This has become a little joke between Tris and me. Tris is going to make an initiate stand in front of the target, throw knives, and shoot at them. These should be exciting weeks to come.
"I can't wait for capture the flag." Uriah smiled evilly.
"My favorite part." I joined in.
"Whom are the leaders this time?" Tris asked.
"You and Christina." Tris and Christina high-five.
"Which of you two are coming with me?" Tris asks.
"I'm going with you no doubt and I say we get off first."
"Don't get ahead of yourself, Four." Uriah smirked.
I shrug and chuckle. "Tris, if you're all right we should be getting back to training."
"I'd love to."
The four of us head back to the dining hall and Tris is given looks of pity and awe.
Tris's POV
I literally wanted to throw everyone who was giving me looks of pity into the chasm, but I ignored them and sat down at our table.
"Are you OK?" The Stiff asks.
"Perfect." I smile at her and she flinches back, not expecting this.
The initiates from the other factions are probably shocked that I recovered so quickly, but the Dauntless born chuckle at the looks on the other initiates faces. They're not supposed to interact, but that doesn't mean they can't laugh at each other. Everyone in Dauntless knows that I've lost everyone so acting like I didn't just try to kill myself wasn't a shock. I'm one of the toughest Dauntless at the compound. Over the past few months, Chis, Uriah, and Tobias have helped me get used to firing a gun again. I may not like it, but it's something that I have to do to protect myself.
"Don't mess with Tris, newbies. She knows what she's doing." One of the Dauntless born initiates named Johanna warned.
"Yeah, she might just push you off a Ferris Wheel." Tobias added for good measure.
"I bet she's never even been on a Ferris Wheel before." An annoying boy named Cater said.
"She climbed to the top of one." Uriah mentioned.
"She did not." Kara, a Candor, gasped.
"Did too. Then jumped off while it was moving." Tobias informed them and I laughed.
"See? It's not true." Carter said.
"Is too," I said. "Just wait and see."
"This isn't going to be good, is it?" Kailee sighed.
"Not at all." We all got up and walked them to the dorms.
"Tomorrow we start training. We suggest you get sleep and not do anything stupid." Tobias took my hand and we walked back to his apartment.
Being alone with Tobias was awesome, but when we decided to go through each other's fear landscapes it sucked. Knowing each other's fears made us closer, but loving through them was just horrible. I expected us to go to the fear landscape, but we went to his apartment to go to sleep.
Is Zeke still alive? I'll put him in here if he is, but I forgot.
