What happens next?

Chapter 1 (Tobias)

It is a long ride back to the Compound. I try not to look at Zeke and Hanna. I have just told them that their son, brother is going to die because of me. Instead I watch the snow fall and the city disappear. Christena leans forward to whisper in my ear. "Do you think it worked? I mean, the reset should have happened by now". "Yeah, I do" I answer. I wonder if Tris is in a better place than the one we left. I just can't stop thinking about her, after all this we will finally be able to be happy together. When we finally reach the Compound, it looks empty. I step out the truck and fall because the ground is covered in ice. My butt aches and I stand up again. Christena has to suppress a grin. As we walk into the Compound, I know it worked. "Where is everyone?" Amar asks. When we walk through the security checkpoint and I stop. Cara is standing on the other side of the hallway, her right cheek is bruised, but that's not what I'm worried about. It's the way she looks at me. There lays so much pity in her eyes. "What's wrong?" I say. She shakes her head. "Where is Tris?" I ask, despaired this time. Then she starts talking. "She went instead of him, she went into the Weapons Lab instead of Caleb. She survived the dead serum, but then David walked in on her. He shot her". "No!" I yell, I can feel my body shaking, "no" I mumble again. I am panicking. She can't be dead, can she. Then she shakes her head again. Faster this time "No, no, no Four. She survived, the bullets hit her in the shoulder, the leg, and her side. The one in her side was dangerous but she will be fine". I sigh. I just thought I lost her for a second. Then she continues talking. "She's in surgery right know but you can see her when she wakes up". After 8 more hours I can finally see her. I have been thinking about what I will say to her for the past hours. I don't know if I'm supposed to be happy that she's alive or angry because she went. I mean she shouldn't have done that, but do I have to punish her for saving her brother's life. We all knew there was no way he would survive it. When I walk into the room, all of my thoughts drop. She just lays there, her eyes fixed on mine, and the world disappears. There was a little smile around her lips when I just entered the room but it fades fast. Now she looks as desperate as I feel. I run over to her, grab her and hold her in my arms. I notice the way she shakes. She must have been afraid. Of course she was afraid, she got shot, almost died. I keep forgetting she's just a sixteen year old girl that went through much more horrible things than she should have. I just hold her, stroke her hear, and then she starts sobbing. "I saw her", she whispers, "My mom, I saw her". I just look at her, the tears streaming down her face. Then I get mad. She shouldn't have went to the Weapon Lab. She shouldn't be in the hospital. She almost died. She was planning on giving her life and I asked her never to do that to me again. She promised. I stand up and walk out of the room. I can hear her screaming my name between her snobs, but I don't stop. I start running and only slow down when I find an empty room. When I'm finally alone I start screaming and crying like a little child. I almost lost her. She wanted to go instead of Caleb. She wanted to die whiteout saying goodbye. I lay down on a couch and fall asleep.
