Missing

Chapter Nineteen

Two weeks later...
Tris POV.

The initiates are currently shooting some guns, they already went through their fear landscapes in initiation so I gave them an easy day. I notice Eleanor is very good at shooting, so I approach her and compliment her skill. "You're very good at shooting Eleanor!" I say unfolding my arms. "You'll do very good here even though you may not think it. Can I tell you a secret, I think I can trust you with it." She turns to me and says "Sure." With a polite voice. "I am Tris Prior, I call myself six because I only have six fears." Her mouth gapes open. "Wow! It's a honour" she says, I chuckle and smile. "You'll do very good here." She smiles and goes back to shooting. For some reason I have felt light headed recently, and it's really bad right now. I think I'm just dehydrated. I'm walking to Tobias when my legs completely give out and I fall right to my face. I try to get up but I fall right back down and I can feel my mouth bleeding. "Tris!" Tobias yells. Everyone stops shooting and looks around confused. He knows I told Eleanor by her once expression showed, and Tobias just says so they won't be confused, "Tell them Eleanor." She pipes up and says "She is Tris Prior the one who saved Chicago.. She's called Six because she only has Six fears." I hear someone say "Yeah right." I cough a little blood and I say "it's true." And then I show them my face and say "Take a close look." And then everyone believes. Tobias picks me up because I can't stand. "Everyone go to the Dormitory day off." And then he takes me to the infirmary.

I'm in a hospital gown and the doctors push me away on a gurney. Tobias follows and when they get me into a room, they hook an IV into me and it starts pumping saline. After I'm calmed down the doctor enters the room and asks us questions about is personally. Then he says, "Your health contract lists that you've had an infected stitched wound, is that correct?" I nod "Yes but that was a year ago.." The doctor nods and then says "I'm going to need to do a blood test okay?" I nod and then he injects a needle in the inside of my arm and my blood exits my body. I feel light headed so Tobias gets me a juice box. "It'll be okay Tris, you're strong and we can get through it." Tobias says, as he squeezes my hand.

The doctor comes back after around fifteen minutes, and frowns. "Beatrice Prior, I'm sorry to say but since the infected stitches and without early on medical care, you have leukaemia. And it'll be a very hard struggle to help because it wasn't detected earlier on." My stomach drops, it's still dropping. I put my face in my hands and sob. I hear Tobias mutter a no and then he clenches his fist yells "No!!!" And all I do, is keep crying. We're still broken people, and we might not be able to heal each other anymore.
