Four's POV

We entered the building. Even though I should be focusing on the mission I can't stop thinking about Tris' forgiveness. I am trying my hardest to keep the smile off my face but I am finding it really difficult. We soon get to the prisioners hall just to come accross with a big problem : we don't know in which cell are the leaders.

- Does anyone of you have any idea where the leaders are? - Tris asks, voicing my thoughts. Everybody shakes their heads in a negative way. Damm.

- Let's split up - Zeke suggests. The area us two big and there are not enough of us. Unfortunatelg we lost some people on our way here. We decide to split in pairs. Tris goes with Zeke, arguing that I would worry too much about her to actually make my job. I rolled my eyes at that but I know that she is right.

I pair up with Damon, ex workmate from the control room and we take de west aisle. We walk in silence for around 5 minutes when we hear a noise. I raise my hand to signal him to make silence and we wait. We hear the noise again and this time I can make it out. It's a scream. I look at Damon and find him looking at me. We make a silent agreement and start running faster. The corridor splits in two so he takes the right hall and I the left.

- Stop - A robotic voice says. I look over my shoulder to find one of those erudite zombies pointing his gun at me. I duck just in time and the dart cruches againts the wall. I start running again, faster than before, trying to avoid the darts the erudite is shooting at me. I keep trying to scape when I see a door at the end of the corridor.

It is a big metal door flanked by two erudites. Without thinking or secondguessing I shoot both of them on their arm and stomach and quickly enter the code to open it. Somehow I managed to lose the other erudite but I know he must not be that far, so I have to hurry up.

I go in to see a big screen showing the fight going on outside of the erudite headquarters and a lot ot controls surrounding the place. I look around and fine de main key board, I try different codes until I see the screen go black.

- Wow - I hear behind me. I spin around to see the erudite pointing his gun at me but with a confused look on his face. - What happened?

I just shook my face un exhaustation and grin to myself. I did it. Tha war is over...well, almost over.

- FOUR!! - I hear someone's desperate scream. I recognize the voice and I find myself praying for it to be a cruel joke. I sprint towards the noise, managing myself trhough the maze that the halls resembled.

I stopped for a moment, waiting to hear another noise that would guide me towards her.

- DON'T! - Someond shouts, I recognize it as Zeke's voice - DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON ME! - As soon as the voice says the last sentence I rush towards the direction the voice came from. I round a corner to find and awful view.

Zeke is kneeling on a pool of blood next to Tris' bloody figure, pleading her to stay alive. I stand frozen for a second until the magnitude of the situation hits me. I sprint towards them just as Tris' eyes close and her body goes limp.

- Tris - I choke out, my voice hoars and my eyes stinging with tears about to spill. Zeke looks at me and I see pain in his eyes, pain, desperation, sorrow and guilt.
- Help!! - I shout, my throat rasp. A group of dauntless round the corner and stop when they see my red eyes and face covered in tears that I didn't notice had fallen.

- Find help! - One of them yells, they all go back in the direction they came and two minutes later an erudite nurse appears.

- Move - She says. I want to protest but Tris' pale appearence and Zeke's iron grip on my arm makes me move aside. Two dauntless carefully grab her and put her on a stretcher. I can't help but notice that some strands of hair fell out of her ponytail and I am tempted to go and push them out of her face. They lift her and start taking her away. I panick.

- Where are you taking her!?? - I start moving towards her but Zeke stops me.

- You can't go with her - He calmly says. I turn around, my face red with anger and my hands balled in fists.

- You did this to her - I say in a low, dangerous voice. He takes a step back when he notice my anger.

- It wasn't my fault - He argues, but I still see guilt on his eyes. He lowers his head but I see some tears drop down. I know it isn't his fault and that it is not fair for me to blame him for it.

- I know - I say, my voice breaking at the end. I pass a hand over my face and close my eyes. They snap open when I feel someone's arms around me. Zeke is giving me a hug and I don't hesitate to give it back. I need my best friend right now.

- I know this is too much to ask for - He starts - but you need to be strong right now. Max is not here, Eric is hurt and Harrison is dealing with the erudite traitors. We need you right now, dauntless needs you.

I just nod and follow Zeke to where the injuried people are lying. There are tons and I can't help thinking that Tris must be amongst them. I grimacd at the thought but quickly compose myself. I instruct the remaining dauntless to help those slighly better and take them back to the Haven after taken those in critical condition. We could have let them in erudite but the serum is not off completely. They are still shaky and unstable, also, we don't know who were really just under the sim or working willingly with Jeanine. I look around and see the Jack kang, leader of Candor, and Johanna Reyes, Amity representative, standing by the door. They are scolted to a car and, I assume, taken to their respective factions.

I just look at the building and see that half of it is destroyed. They can rebuild it but there will always be a reminder of the damage they did. We all have scars that will heal but that won't be erased. I just hope for my sake that Tris is fine.
