Resurgent

RESURGENT - chapter 4

Tris POV

Tobias is smiling at me uncontrollably. I don't think I've seen him this happy before. "Where am I, what happened." I ask him. "What happened is you did the stupidest thing you've ever done and almost got your self killed. You were shot by David twice while trying to stop the gas." He says. "Are you mad?" I ask. "No, I was just worried sick. Never do anything like that, ever again! I Thought I lost you." he says and I think he's about to cry. "How many days was I sleeping?" "Almost three weeks" He says. "Tris I'm gonna go get a doctor." he says and gets up.

He comes back with a doctor and they run a million test and tell me that I'll be okay and I can leave in a week if I'm almost healed by then, after that he says I really have to take it easy for at least another month.

After the doctor leaves I ask Tobias what I missed. "Well the bad news is the gas was set off in the city and the good news is, well there isn't really any good news, except that David is as good as dead and he probably will never wake up." He says. The whole cities memory was erased. Everything and everyone I've ever known, gone with new fake memories of events and people that never existed. Tobias said they weren't able to inoculate anyone before they had to leave. "So what now?" I ask. "I don't know but we definitely can't stay here." He says. "So should we go back into the city, every thing should be calm now that no one knows anything." I ask. "If you think we should then I guess so, I don't have any other ideas, the bureau erased their memory and all their computers and basically all the history of the past that they had so we could just fit right back into Dauntless, no questions asked." He says. "Okay then it's settled, when should we leave?" I ask. "As soon as you are better."

An extremely long week goes by and we leave before any of the doctors or anyone else decide to ask any questions. We had to take two trucks, with me, Tobias, Peter, Christina, and Cara. Uriah didn't make it and Caleb decided to stay, to much stuff he didn't know I guess.

After a while I can see the fence of the city in the trucks headlights. It all feels real now, we are going back, but we aren't really going back. We are going back to a place we know, not to people we know. Eventually we stop and get out of the truck and walk the rest of the way. When we get to the dauntless Tobias tells them something, I have no idea what and they let us pass.

We are back in the city and even sooner we are jumping back into a train. Tobias helps me because I was shot, but he is forgetting that he was shot in the arm when we first entered the Bureau ( yes that happened in allegiant you probably don't remember, it happened right after Tori died ) so he has a little difficulty getting in. When we do get in I fall onto of him and we both go to the floor of the train. Christina yells "Get a room!" and we all start laughing.

Then we can see Dauntless. It feels its been years since I've been here. We walk in, the security isn't that great. I guess they figure the only people brave enough to walk into dauntless are the dauntless themselves.

It's strange we don't sit and stare at it we just resume life as usual Chris, Peter, and Cara go to the dormitory and me and Tobias go to his apartment. It still smells like him, like safety

Since I don't have any clothes here I sleep in one of his t-shirts. We lay in bed and he holds me close. I have my head tucked into his neck. He is one of the last people I have left. I can make more friends but none of them will ever be real. Him, Chris, Peter, and Cara are the only people here who know the truth. They are the only people here who are real.

At some point we fall asleep after talking about what we are gonna do tomorrow and how we are gonna just blend in here. Thankfully after the memory serum wipes your memory for a few you will believe just about anything. So our plan is just to live life the way we normally would if there was no war on Abnegation, if everything stayed how it should have. If anyone one questions us, we will just play dumb.
