Sorry I haven't been updating again! Still reading a bunch of books. Anyway..
Tris POV
When I woke in the morning, I was still wrapped in Tobias's arms. Trying not to wake him, I untangled myself and got dressed into a black shirt and jeans. Obviously the trying to not wake him part didn't work out very well. I was sitting on the floor of the bathroom puking and regretting having the coffee last night. Tobias, I guess, had heard me and came to investigate. He crouched down next to me, held my hair back, and rubbed my back soothingly.
"We'll get the antidote today. You're going to be fine." He kept telling me that I was going to be OK.
It didn't help that I was famished. Every time I drink or eat something, I end up on the floor of the bathroom. Tobias gets a hair tie and ties my hair back. I had let it grow out after cutting it in Amity. I have my doubts about this antidote. I'm surprised I'm not dead yet. I mean, I haven't been die-like sick. Maybe I just have the flu or something.
"When are we leaving?" I managed.
"Few minutes actually. With permission from Caleb, we'll be able to walk right in and get it."
"Do we have to go talk to him?"
"I will. I'll have Christina come for you and meet Uriah and me at the tracks."
I nod and wipe my mouth with a towel that Tobias handed me. He stood up and flushed the toilet after I shut the lid. Puking is very tiring. Oh, and it tastes very bad.
"When's Chris gonna be here?" I asked as Tobias pulled me to a standing position, keeping me pressed against him.
"I-" There's a knock on the door. "That's probably her."
Tobias lays me down on the couch and opens the door for Chris. "See you guys in a few." He kisses my forehead. "Check her temperature. She's burning up."
Chris nods and he runs out.
"Alright, so let's get you all better." She smiles evilly at me.
"Christina, what're you thinking?" I scooted back and fell backwards off the arm of the couch.
Chris runs over to me, grabs my arm, and drags me towards the tracks. I scream and struggle but she's got a firm hold on my arm.
"FOUR!" I scream at the top of my lungs. "FOUR! URIAH! ZEKE! HELP ME!"
Chris covers my mouth to muffle the screaming. So it sounds like, "OUUU! AHHH! EKKKK! EPPP EEEE!" I gave up after a while and left her drag me to the tracks. It was painful, if I might add. Chris uncovers my mouth as we go past the cells that hold my brother. I laugh to myself and ready myself for screaming.
"FOUR! URIAH! HELP ME!" I scream again and before Chris can drag me fast enough past the cells, Tobias, Uriah, and Peter come running out.
I feel myself being pulled faster and hear Chris laughing under her breath.
"Christina!" Tobias half laughs, half shouts.
"Sorry, Four, but Tris's got to forget about dying." She replies.
"She's going to kill me!" I shout and struggle some more. "Tobias, help!"
Uriah and Peter are bent over laughing as Tobias jogs after us.
"Come on, Christina. Just-" Tobias starts and I start dry heaving and a series of chills takes a hold of my body. "Tris!"
"Oh, Tris, I'm so sorry!" Chris stops abruptly and Tobias takes me in his arms.
I try to tell them I'm fine, but I start shaking. I can't tell if I'm cold or hot. Is the shaking because of chills? I sure hope so. Tobias lifts me up and we start running. At some point before the train arrives, I black out. At least the dry heaving and shaking stopped. When I blacked out, images of everything and everyone popped up. My mother and father, Caleb, Chris, Will, Uriah, Zeke, Shauna, Lynn, Al, Marlene, Susan, Robert, and even Peter, Amity, Dauntless, Erudite, Abnegation, my old home, my new apartment that I share with Tobias, the interrogation room. I came back into consciousness while being shaken by Tobias. I sucked in a sharp intake of air when I opened my eyes.
"Tris." Tobias breathed a sigh of relief. "You're awake."
I sat up and grabbed my head immediately. My head throbbed painfully. Did Tobias throw me onto the train? Damn, I hope not. "T-tobias, are we almost there?"
"Almost." He confirmed.
"Actually, we're there." Chris pointed outside.
She's right. We are at Erudite. That means I have to jump. Oh man. Tobias helped me up, grabbed my hand, and we jumped together. I landed on top of him so I started laughing. While holding on to me, he stood up and then kissed me.
"Almost." He whispered into my ear.
I'm not going to be several days from dying after today. I'll be able to train the initiates with Tobias like we planned before this nonsense. No one stopped us as we walked through the lobby of the HQ. Tobias lead the way to a white room that held about a million different vials.
"Look for a gold liquid." Tobias informed them.
I sat on the floor with my back against one of the white walls while everyone else looked around. There were several mistakes in the scavenger hunt. After about ten minutes, Tobias came over to me holding a cylinder vial with gold liquid inside.
"Drink this."
"This better not taste bad." I downed the vial and coughed. "Ew, it tastes horrible!"
Tobias laughs. "Did you expect it to taste as good as the Dauntless desserts?"
"Actually, yes, I did."
"You feel better?" Uriah asked.
"Not really, but that's probably because it needs to take effect." I replied.
