A week later: Tris's POV

Tobias and I are sitting on the couch one day when the home phone rings. We look at each other before I get up and answer it.

" Hello?" I ask.

" Hi. You're friends with a girl named Christina, right." the person on the other side ask

" Yeah. Best friends. Why?"

" She has gone into a forest know as the Suicide Forest, with a backpack and a yellow tent."

" Oh my god! Why?"

" No one knows. But we presume she's dead, unless someone can find her otherwise."

" Thank you. Bye." I hang up and walk into the bedroom. I grab a backpack and stuff clothes in to it. Tobias follows me and try to stop me.

" Tris, whats wrong? Why are you packing?" he ask me.

" It's nothing, Tobias."

" Tris I know somethings up. What is it." I ignore him and continue to pack. He continues to ask me over and over. It's starting to get really annoying. I try to ignore him but he is really annoying now.

" God Tobias! Just shut up! I'm going to go find Christina. And don't you come with me." I say, steamed at him. He gets a look of hurt on his face and walks into the living room.

" Tobias, I'm sorry. But please, don't go." I say leaving the apartment. I run to the trains and wait for the next train to come. In the meantime, I look up where the forest is. The forest is just outside of the Amity fields. The website I'm looking at says that the forest is where people go to commit suicide. Well duh.

' People say that the forest will make you see things. The angry souls of past suicide attempts will get to your mind. Some will bring tents incase they decide not to.' Why would Christina want to come here? The train comes and I run to jump in. Now I wait till I get to Amity.

An Hour Later.

I made it to Amity. Finally. I walk to the edge of the Amity fields and see a man walking towards me.

" Woah there! Where ya heading?" he ask me.

" I'm going into the Suicide Forest to find my friend." I say

" Ya can't go in there alone. I'll escort you though, " he says, " my name's Derrick, but people call me Stitches." he adds pointing to his left eye. It has a scar going all the way down his face, from his forehead to his chin. He also has black hair and a green eye. I shake his hand.

" I'm Tris."

" Follow me. And before we begin, anything bad you see, is only in your head." he says walking into the forest. I follow him until we reach a chain. It has a sign that says ' DO NOT ENTER' . I don't know if I want to do this. But I walk over a chain. I follow Derrick on a small dirt path for a while till he walks into the forest. I follow him.

" Wait." he says. He walks to a tree with something hanging from it. A body. Oh my god. I cover my mouth and turn my back while he cuts it down. I hear a scream. Oh no. It better not be Christina.

We continue on the trial until the sun is almost on the horizon.

" We should head back and continue tomorrow." Derrick says. I look to my right and see a bit of yellow. A yellow tent. Christina's tent. I run to the tent and look inside.

" This is Christina's tent she's here." I say. I yell her name and Derrick joins me. The sun begins to set and I get inside the tent.

" What are you doing? We need to leave. " Derrick says to me.

" Well if Christina is here she might come back. I'm staying." I say.

" Well I'm coming back in the morning. " he says walking off. I curl up inside the tent and doze off.

⚫⚫⚫
A hand touches the back of my head making me wake up. I get out of the tent and see a group of three girls looking at me. They lift their heads to show me no face. But I hear their screams. I run away until I can't hear them. But I dunno into the guy Derrick cut down earlier. I scream and run again. I pull out my phone and see that it's two in the morning. I try to call Tobias but it keeps going to voice mail. Now I hear more screams. Not only the girls, but men's, children's, horrible ones.

I see a body running up ahead and call for it to stop. And it does. They turn around and I see that it's Christina. She takes off running again to a cliff. And jumps. I scream and try to get out but end up falling down a hole and twist my ankle. I scream again. I try to call Tobias again, over and over, and over. On the tenth time I try, he answers.

" Tobias! Send help! I might lose my mind soon. Please send help. Do not come out here alone! " I say

" Tris! What's wrong? I can try to get help but, I don't know if they will go out there. " I hear him say through the phone.

" Don't come alone! The forest will make you see things. Please hurry!" I say then hang up. I see the sun begin to rise and try to call Derrick.

" Hello?" he answers.

" I'm in a hole somewhere. I ran from the tent because I saw scary things." I tell him

" Okay yell for me when you think I'm near." he says then hangs up. I sit down on the ground and start to cry. I cry because, who knows what will happen to me and my ankle is throbbing.

Thirty minutes later I hear footsteps and yell Derrick's name. His face appears above me and he trows down a rope. Derrick pulls me out and helps me stand.

" Thanks. I broke my ankle when I fell." I tell him. He takes a stick and the rope and braces my leg with it. We begin to walk until dark comes again
⚫⚫⚫

Derrick dissapered an hour ago to find something for my leg, but never came back. I hear a scream again. I'm slowly losing my mind. Slowly but surely. I text Tobias and tell him to hurry with the search group. I start to hear voices call my name. It's happened. I'm crazy, and delusional, and about to die. The voices seem to pull me along with them a until I reach a cliff.

Tobias text back saying ' I'm coming now' but it's to late. I'm already off the cliff.



Authors Note
