Born Dauntless

Till The End... Part 2

Uriah Pov

Im crying as we run. I don't know what is going to happen but all I know is that Eric has wanted revenge on Tris since he got here. He better not touch her otherwise I will throw him off and into the chasm. I sprint as fast as I can, hot on Four and Zeke's heels. We have to get to her.

We turn around the last corner and I immediately stop in my tracks.

Eric is beating Tris who is laying on the floor. She has her legs tied up and her hands tied behind her back. I can tell from here that she is protecting her ribs and head as much as she can and trying to fight back but Eric is really strong. I immediately push past Zeke and Four to get to Tris but I suddenly am knocked over, landing a half foot from the chasm ledge. 

I look up and see Peter and others I don't recognize appearing from an empty corner, ready to fight. I jump to my feet and start fighting along with Four and Zeke against Peter's gang.

"Uriah, get Tris. Ill distract Eric," Fonur says as I throw a punch, knocking out Peter. 

Four charges for Eric and throws his body into his and they both are knocked down. I take this chance and rush over to Tris.

She is still conscious but I can tell she is dozing out. She is caked in blood and where you can see her skin, there are dark bruises. I hate seeing her this way.

"Oh my gosh Tris. Stay with me please." I beg while untying the rope that is restraining her. Once I get the rope out of the way, I tuck my arms under her knees and arms and pick her up. I turn around to check on Zeke and someone, I think his name is Drew, is charging straight for me. At the speed he is going, I won't be able to stop him and my back is to the chasm. Thinking quickly, I drop Tris and brace for the impact. He hits me in the stomach and I lose my balance and fall back into the chasm. I struggle to get a grip on the ledge and after dropping about two feet, I find a spot for my hand to hold. I hear Tris yell my name.

I don't know how I was able to get a grip onto the edge, but I did and I need to hold on. I find another spot for my left hand to hold myself up, and I struggle to climb up. The wall is wet and slipperyafd the mist from the water is splashing at my legs. 

Tris looks over the edge, tucking what must be a broken arm against her chest. "Uriah hold on please. Im gonna try and lift you up," she lays down on her stomach and reaches her arms down. I use my left arm and hold onto her wrist and with my legs and my right arm I help lift myself up. Im almost to the point where I can pull myself up, but Tris starts sliding forward. She is too light to pull me up and I don't want to risk her falling in trying to save me. 

"Tris, get Zeke and Four." I say and I lower myself back to the spot where I was hanging. My arms are getting tired but the adrenaline has kicked in so I don't give it a second thought. 

"Uriah! Grab my hand," Zeke appears over the edge. I use my left arm again and I grab his arm and he pulls me up and away from the ledge. As soon as my feet are on the ground, I hug Zeke tightly. 

Over his shoulder, I see Four hugging Tris who is crying into his chest. I let go of Zeke and walk over to Tris. She sees me coming and lets go of Four and runs and hugs me tightly. This is when the tears come. We almost lost each other tonight because of Eric; and neither of us could survive without the other. "I love you Tris. You are the best thing I have and I can't live without you," I whisper in her ear. 

"I love you to Uri," she responds, her voice raspy.

"Lets get you two to the medical wing. You've been through a lot," Zeke says and walks over and scoops up Tris bridal style. 

Four and I follow behind closely, none of us saying a word. When we do get to the medical wing, the nurses take Tris immediately. They go for Zeke next, as he walked in before Four and I, but he just shakes them off and points to me. This is when I take in my injuries. I most likely have a concussion from when Tris hit me, probably a few broken ribs and my arms are scratched up really badly from the fall and holding onto the rugged wall of the chasm. But Tris had it much worse. 

I let them take care of me and clean my wounds but I wouldn't let them have me in a different room as Tris. Its hard to think that she could have died tonight, so I wanna make sure she is fine.

Four didn't get many injuries, just some scratches. Zeke was the same way, except the bite Tris gave him. She keeps apologizing for the injuries related to her but we all tell her its not her fault. The doctors say that Tris will recover eventually, we don't know when that will be but it will happen. She has gone through so much but Im glad that she has all of us and her other friends to be there for her. 

Even if our life is crazy, thats who Dauntless are. Crazy. Its who we are.

Epilogue

One year later

Tris Pov

Everyone is sitting in our living room. By everyone, I mean Uriah, Marlene, Al, Lynn, Christina, Will, Zeke, Shauna, Tobias and I. All of our friends are together and just laughing. Honestly, I don't remember what about but just the fact that we are all happy makes me happy. 

I lean my head against Tobias' shoulder and just observe what is happening. We are all together, safe and not having to worry about Eric now that he is gone. Tobias and Uriah are the leaders of Dauntless. I was offered the job since I was ranked first but I knew Uriah had always wanted that job so I chose initiate trainer and tattoo artist. 

Tobias asked me to move in with him and I couldn't be happier. 

Life is great. This is the way its supposed to be, with friends, family and loved ones by your side. And everything will turn out good no matter the twists and turns life has. 

Cause I know, we all will be together till the end.
