I can't believe it's Bobby who took me! Why would he do this to me? I thought he was someone I could kind of trust! He's a liar! A psychotic man!

I need to get out of here. I need to find out where I am. I don't even know if it's past dusk or dawn yet.

I sit in a so called "corner", and try to think of ways I can get out of here. Why I am here in the first place. This is Uriah's nightmare, losing me.

The thought of Uriah brings tears into my eyes. All I can do is sob. Just sob.

Wait, the sky or ceiling looks so familiar. Am I still in the Dauntless Compound? Oh God! I'm in the Chasm! But I'm not dead! I heard people die when they go down the Chasm! How is it that I'm not dead?

I push these thoughts aside as I stand up and try to find a way to climb out. Then the idea hits me. I will pretend to either be sleeping or sobbing, hiding my face, and if Bobby comes down, that's when I'll attack. But with what?

I reach into my pocket to feel a pocket knife, Uriah's pocket knife! Genius!

I hear footsteps coming towards the hole.

I scurry to a corner, crouch and pretend to sob. I then hear a boom, and I assume something or someone just jumped or fell into the hole.

"Tara?" a husky voice calls out. Wait, I know that voice! I love that voice! Uriah!

I slowly pick my head up to find my eyes staring into the chocolate eyes I love so much. Tears begin to roll from my eyes.

"Uriah!" I embrace him only to make him wince.

"Uriah?" he places his hand over his chest, only to replace it with a ruby color painted on his hand. Oh God! It's blood! This can't be happening!

Uriah then falls to the ground.

"URIAH!!"
