I got off the train and hail followed,
"You know what to do?" I said to hail,
She nodded slowly.

I rolled my eyes and ran towards the wall. I clipped my harness on and Hail did hers. We approached the wall but before I started to walk up it, I noticed the trucks were watching from the long grass. Did they want me to go? We climbed up the wall and were about to approach the fence. Electric fence. I could hear the buzzing of the voltage. What was I doing?! I am so stupid! I thought, how could I forget there was an electric fence! I sighed and I started to abseil down the wall, by now I thought the truck men would start to shoot but no. Two got out the car and came towards me, they took off their caps and it was Tobias and Christina. I smiled sadly but they kept on grinning. They handed me something and I looked at it, it was a sticky bomb. I grinned but then I realised, they had always been there when I failed!
But why would they shoot me?
"I know what you're thinking, we couldn't help you at first, we had to make it look normal, so, gradually, we gained the trust of the dauntless leaders and made us head of the army. We still couldn't help you but we all wanted you to get over. So we stopped shooting you and, well, here we are! We all wish you luck." Tobias explained.

I said my goodbyes and I climbed back up the wall. I placed the bomb on the fence and climbed back down. Chris detonated it and a huge explosion formed above my head. I felt an eery noise in my ear. I climbed back up and Hail followed behind. I could see her lips move but I couldn't hear. I walked backwards and slipped. I fell swiftly to the ground, my mind flashed back to when I jumped off the wall into the net.  I felt my hair slide down my back and my arm hair stand on end. I closed my eyes as I felt my body crash to the ground. I didn't open my eyes, I imagined looking at a white light .

"Will she be okay?" Hail.
"Yes miss, she only suffered from short hearing loss in both ears, a broken ankle and a few bruises."
"Oh god, when she wakes up I don't want to tell her about peter's... Tris! You're awake!" Hail cut off,

I tried to sit up but I couldn't move my leg.
"Miss, try not to move your leg to much, you may not be able to move your leg just yet, we put numbing cream on your leg, so you may not be able to move for a few days..."

I sighed an annoyed sigh. Then I pause,
"Where am I?" I asked, slightly afraid...yet curious.

"When you fell, I managed to lift you over the desert, if that's what it's called? Anyway... After days of walking, I managed to find a small building. They told me to follow the --"

"Yellow brick road?" I giggled,

"Haha, no. They told me to follow the small tunnel leading underground."

" can you hurry up please ma'am?" The doctor said, annoyed.
"Right, basically, I followed the tunnel and found a ditch at the end. I didn't understand, but then a door appeared and opened up, --"
"And then we took you in and you have been asleep for the past two weeks." The doctor concluded.

"Two weeks!" I shrieked,
The doctor pulled her finger to her mouth to tell me to be quiet, hail placed her hand on her forehead, and shut her eyes.
"Tris, not so loud.." Hail muttered, midway through a snore.

It was then I noticed the dark bags under her eyes.
"Hail, you need to sleep."

"No, I'll be alri-I-ght."
"No you won't"
She sighed a defeated sigh and dragged herself away to a free bed.

Peters POV:

I dialed Pipers number on my phone, she picked up seconds later.

"Hey Sweetie." Pipers voice muffled,
"Hey, what's up? You know I would love to see you right now..."
"So would I, but you know I can't.." She sighed,
" is anything new happening?"
" The new girl is awake and her friend said something about you. "

"Don't get jealous, you know I only have eyes for you." I smirked.
"I've got to go, see you later,"
Before I could say bye she hung up.

The doctor ended her phone call and walked back over to me.
"I never asked what your name was?" I asked politely,
" it's Piper." She smiled.
