A Sliver Of Light in The Night Sky

Chapter 13

"Tris! Tris, please, wake up!" I hear Tobias next to my ear, in his soft, gentle voice, pleading with me. I try to move, twitch a finger, anything to let him know I'm not dead.

"She's not going to." Said Caleb, with a cold laugh. "I paralysed her."

"You did WHAT?!" Four yells. "Tris! Tris, please-"

A sound of protest climbs up my vocal chords, through unmoving lips. Tobias gasps, and suddenly I'm in the air, my head flopping to one side, but I'm not falling; someone's carrying me, I can feel a hand on my back, tense I am myself. He rests me on a flat surface-probably the bar.

"Tris," he said, smoothing my hair. "Tris." He pries open my eyes, so I'm staring at him. "Tris, babe, you've got to change."

"Mmm . . . " I say, unable to shake my head. "I can't. . . . Melina-"

"MELINA!" Four yells, and disappears; I hear a door open, and a feminine shriek. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!"

"It's just anti-transformation serum!" Melina yelled, scared; a crash sounds from the basement, and Melina screams. "HERE! HERE, GOD HERE!" Melina screeched, and a door slams. I see Four dig through the cabinets, and come up with a frying pan. Then, he walks out of my vision, and I hear a scuffle and a bang.

Caleb's down.

"Come on, Tris." Four said, and picked me up, bridal style.

:P. This is short, but I almost didn't post today. Credit goes to my best friend Makayla for Tris's cure.
