Chapter 5:

Natalie's Perspective

     I wish I wasn't crying. I hate it when I cry. I've been on the train for a good half hour sobbing into my knees. I don't know how many times I've gone around.

But it feels like forever since I've seen Mom. I don't have a watch with me or my new phone to know what time it is. There is a clock on the train but somebody shot it, and now it won't work. It's dark now, and the wind is whipping at my skin making me cold.

I hug myself and scoot over to face the opening of the car. It looks like I'm passing the Amity Compound. I see a lot of orchards. And the air for a split second smells like ripe fruit. I take a whiff, and then it's gone. I guess it's kind of late because I fall asleep on the train floor.

Either that, or all of my crying took a lot of energy away. When I wake up it's still night. My eyes are still groggy from sleep and watering from the wind drying them out, but I think I see my Dad running beside the car he looks at me, and jumps in.

    "Oh God, Natalie!" I sit up and look at him, and he has a worried look on his face. It scares me because he's worried about me. Then I remember. My head was bleeding when I fell asleep. I look back at where my head was laying.

A small pool of blood lies where my head once was. I hear other people's voices but I can't make out who it is.

I see a pair of light blue eyes and that is all.

    I wake up surrounded by doctors. I don't know from which faction, because everything is very blurry and colors are swirling together. I think I'm in the Dauntless hospital. Maybe.

I don't know where I am. My name is Natalie Bea Eaton. My parents are Tris and Tobias Eaton. Good, I remember that. I was on the Dauntless Train and I fell asleep. My Dad saw me, I was bleeding. A lot.

Okay, now if only I could see straight........

Tobias' Perspective

   "We are in the Dauntless Compound Hospital. Natalie has scraped the back of her head. I am in the waiting room waiting to see if Natalie's injuries are bad or not. I did not set off that rigged dummy. I was taking video to see her kick, at the same time Natalie was knocked backwards, Zeke texted me a video of Shane trying to shoot his paintball gun, so I played it and laughed. I didn't know it was still recording Natalie, and I didn't see her fall either. I replayed Zeke's video, and it ended and went back to Natalie's fall. Then she took my phone, and saw the video of her. That's when she left and hopped on a train. I didn't run after her. I just watched her. I went back inside and practiced shooting wondering why she left. I stayed for about a half hour and then left. While I was waiting, I watched the video of her falling. I didn't find it funny at all. In fact, I saw the blood on her hand when she rubbed her head in the video. I ran to catch the train I was looking for a car and saw one. I hopped in, and went home. I thought Natalie came back home, but she wasn't there. I went to get back on the trains, and while I was running I saw a car open, so I looked in and saw Natalie lying on the ground with blood coming from her head, and got in with her and she was only sleeping, but then she passed out."

I say to Christina on the phone. "We'll be right over!" says Christina. Then she hangs up. I put my phone away and I see the doctor walk down the hall towards Tris and I.

    "Is she okay?" I ask. The doctor has a concerned look in his eyes. "She scraped some of her skull too unfortunatley." he says. Tris is holding back tears, and all I am thinking......

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.........

The doctor apologizes and says that the recovery won't take too long, and then I just stop listening.

Why didn't I run after her when she got on the train? I chose target practice over her.

I should have been paying attention to her, not a text message.

She was grasping on to me, and I let her slip. 

I let her slip.......

I get up and run. There's no where else to run except to

her.

This chapter is SUPER dramatic, I know. But, the rest has been all suspense, romance, humor, so I thought I'd try drama. Is it working out? Send me a message on what you think about the drama. Should I add more, or keep it? Vote and comment! :)
