Effulgent

Chapter 23

Tobias POV
I'm so mad right now. How dare that person write such things about my Tris and sent it to her! I'll find out who he or she is and then I'll punch their teeth out. I'm sitting on the couch with Tris still in my arms. She's sniffing and gulping. My heart really goes out to her. I hate to see her like this.

"Who gave that damned letter to you,Tris?" I ask.

"There was this woman at my door before you came in and she said that letter was from you to me." She says."She looked kinda creepy and really irritated."

"Oh..." Who might that be? Oh well, all I need to focus is on getting Tris to a better mood. So I hold her tighter and press my lips to hers. It was meant to be just one kiss but I couldn't take my lips of hers. One kiss led to another and I had every intention of turning it into a make out session but before I could do that, we heard something metalic falling to the floor. It was from the kitchen.

I groan and get up to see what was it.
"What was that?..." Tris asks.

"That's what I'm trying to find out." I tell her. Why must it happen now? I go into the kitchen to see a metal pot on the floor. But how did it fall? No one was here... I pick it up and put it back where it was. I go back to the hall to continue where we left off. As we do, we hear something else falling to the floor. I pull away and swear under my breath. Tris chuckles.

"Language , Tobias." She says. I smile.

I turn around to see a vase in the corner, now on the floor, shattered.

"Oh gosh, how did it fall down?" Tris asks.

"Same thing in the kitchen." I say."We could clear it up later."

I kiss her again. She smiles into the kiss and moves up from the couch and onto my lap. I sit up straight. Suddenly, the lights and fans go off and darkness floods the room. What the hell?

"Tobias, this is getting stranger by the minute." She says. I nod. Out of nowhere, I hear something like a woman growling angrily inside the room and Tris is thrown of my lap. She screams as she crashes into the dining table.

"TRIS!!!" I yell. I try to get to her but I can't get up. I feel as if a boulder is placed onto my lap. The sound of the woman's growling is still here and now it's as if wind is blowing everywhere. Everything is flying around. What on earth is happening?! I yell for Tris again and everything stops. I get up quickly and go to Tris.

"Tris!! Are you alright?" I ask. There's blood streaming down her left temple. She mutters something unintelligible and falls unconcious.

I pick her up and run to the infirmary. What on earth just happened back there?
