Okay, so this chapter we will get Tris' fate revealed. Will she live, or will she die?:
Chapter 6:
Christina's PoV:
She hadn't been able to go see Tris before hours after her injury. The moment where that asshole Eric shot her still rang in her mind, and she still heard the sound of her own scream being mixed with the sound of Tris' scream. She couldn't even describe to herself how she had felt in that moment, let alone describe it to the people around her that she, deep down, knew just wanted to help. She had seen her best friend being shot, potentially to death, right in front of her, and she felt guilty as hell for not try to do anything.
Hours later she had finally got herself together enough, to go see Tris. The only things people talked about, were Tris, and how Four had punched Zeke in the face, when he tried to make him eat and sleep. Christina couldn't believe that the Four she knew, completely in control of his actions, would do such a thing. But, the possible death of your significant other must be enough to make you crazy. She was actually surprised that Four hadn't gone and taken down Eric by himself already.
While she walked down the empty hallways of her old faction, she felt the hollow sound, that her boots made when they hit the floor. It was like it echoed inside her chest. She couldn't loose Tris. Not her too. Not after Will, and Albert. That was just too much.
Christina couldn't help it, but smile at herself when she thought of what Tris would have said about that comment. " yeah, but you will soon learn Chris, that the world isn't here for your liking." Then she would smile a sarcastic smile, and Christina would laugh.
Without even noticing, Christina suddenly found herself at the hospital floor. She had ben here so many times as a kid, when she had been so wild she had broken something new. She smiled at the memory. Even though it involved pain, it wasn't a bad memory to her. It involved feeling free, and that was a feeling Christina always had craved. That was why she had chosen dauntless in the first place.
She pushed open the door to the room Tris was in. She was pale, and it seemed like she was in a coma. She didn't move, and her heartrate was transmitted over to a little screen beside her bed.
Beside her were also a very tired-looking Four. His hands and clothes were bloody, and his usually so straight posture, was now collapsed, and he were sitting with his head resting in his hands.
Christina usually didn't like the guy, but she still felt sorry for him. She knew that Tris was the only one he had left. As she got in, Four looked up, and got up onto his feet.
"what are you doing here?" he snapped at her. He looked scary in the lighting, and with the tired, and little bit insane with worry, look in his eyes. The paleness of his skin and the dark circles under his eyes didn't help either. So she did, was she was best at, she answered him with an arrogant comment. That set him off. He yelled a lot of things in her face, and it took all of her strength not to back away from him. he was definitely scary now. She stood there and observed his tense posture, and angry face. When she answered to hot outbreak, it was with calmness in her voice, and an easy posture. " when was the last time you slept, Four?" she asked him. it send him totally out of his anger, and he looked at her confused. He told her that it was yesterday. It seemed that he didn't know that he had been sitting in there for 7 hours. "Go. Go sleep. I will watch over her, I promise. You'll be the first to know when she wakes up." He was still so out of it, he just did as she told him to do. Before he left, he went over to Tris. He bent down over her, and kissed her. Then he gently stroked her forehead, and Christina felt how it hurt in her chest, in a place it hadn't hurt in, in a long time. She felt for Four. She felt his worry, and his powerlessness. And she felt his love. He really loved her, and that was another important reason, why she couldn't die. She saw clear now, how it would break him. more than anything else she had ever seen.
He walked past her, and out of the door.
When it slammed behind him, a doctor walked around the corner. "oh thank god , you made him go home. He offered to stay here, and let me go home to sleep. He's a good person, he really is, but this situation is breaking him. I almost threw him out earlier, you know." The doctor had a kind face, with dark eyes, and almond colored skin. Her curls were pulled back in a tight bun.
"do you mind if I sit by her?" the doctor looked at her, then she shook her head. "I promised him that I would look after her." For some reason, she felt like she couldn't let Four down. Not now.
The chair underneath her butt was soft, and she felt like it was hugging her. Slowly, while holding Tris' hand, she fell asleep. It was the first time in the past 7 hours, that she could relax.
Suddenly, she woke from the sound of loud beeping, and a machine going crazy.
It took her a couple of seconds to understand what was happening. Tris were crashing. "doctor! Help, somebody!" she yelled. The woman from earlier were suddenly by her side. "what's happening?" she yelled at the other woman. The doctor were feeling on Tris' head and upper body. "it's her lungs. It has collapsed. It must have been hit by the bullet, but I couldn't detect it. I can't straighten it out. There aren't enough doctors here, and I don't have the gear. We would have to move her to erudite, but it would take too long." She looked at Christina. "I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do to help her. She will die." Christina felt it like a truck had smashed into her face. She looked down at Tris, who looked like she was trying to breathe. Her body cramped in a weird, horrifying way, and her eyes were only half open. "but… but, you have to do something!". She couldn't just accept the fate of her best friend, but the doctor just shook her head. After a few seconds, Tris stopped, and were lying completely still. The machine that had been tracking her heartrate, was now only showing one, straight line. Christina weren't a doctor, but she knew what that meant. Tris were no longer there.
Weirdly, Christina only had one thought in her mind; find Four. He needed to know.
She ran out of the room, with tears streaming down her cheeks. She could feel herself being about to break into a hysterical outburst. She dashed into the common room, and saw Zeke sit in a sofa. With insanity and tears in her eyes, she ran to him, and yelled in his face. "where does Four live!?" the first time she yelled, he just looked at her with a confused look on his face. Then it seemed to reach him, and understanding and sorrow reached his dark eyes. He gave her the instructions to where Four lived, and then she ran out of the room to go find Four.
When she reached his apartment, she tore the door open. But it didn't wake him, so she went over to his bed, and shook his shoulders violently. "Four! Four wake up!" she yelled in his face.
Slowly, he woke up with a confused look on his face. "Christina, what is happening? Why are you here?" the sound of his voice sent a cooling through her body, and made the panic go away. Now all she felt was sadness. Slowly, the tears returned. Christina felt her legs give out, and she collapsed onto the floor. "she's gone." She whispered. He looked at her with confusion in his eyes. "what are you talking about, Christina. What do you mean she's…" and that's when it got to him.
That's when he understood, that Tris was dead.
Okay, so that was sad… next chapter: how will Tobias react to Tris death? Can he take it, or will it destroy him? tune in next time… okay that didn't work on purpose. Okay, but here was Christina's side of this whole thing. I can't wait to write Tobias'! until next time beautiful people! - Karla.
