Allegiant: Is This The End?

Chapter 1

Tobias

I wake up with a start.  Beads of sweat are covering my face. I cannot move , I cannot breath. The first thing I do, instinctively is I look for Tris. She is sleeping peacefully. It takes me a few seconds to realize that it was one of the most dreadful nightmare I ever had.

 I get up and decide to take a shower , maybe it will help me in calming down. I wear a fresh pair of clothing.

I don’t know what to do because whatever I had seen was so terrible I cannot describe. I had to watch Tris die and that was not where it ended…   I realize I had stopped breathing once again. I cannot leave Tris alone because I know she is capable of taking Caleb’s place, going to the weapons lab instead of him. I know she loves her brother even after what he has done to her. I just can’t imagine losing Tris, the thought o f losing her makes me numb with fear.

 I will stop her, I don’t know how, but I am not going to lose Tris again. I know, I am overreacting after all it’s just a nightmare but still I don’t want to take a risk.

I cannot stay here as I have to tell Uriah’s condition to Zeke and his family myself. I am still hoping that Uriah comes out of the coma though the chances are very less. It would be a miracle if he comes out of that coma and I am hoping for that miracle to happen. Now I understand what Tris must have  gone through after she had shot Will.

This brings back my attention to Tris. What should I do? David was the reason she died. Is there no way to keep him out of our way or is there some way we can know the password for the weapon lab, should I take Tris with myself?

 The more I ask myself, the more confused I get.

I don’t think I will get an answer now. I have to calm down so that Tris doesn’t question me about my strange behavior.

The Sun’s rays have started to appear, Tris will be awake any moment from now.  The rising Sun looks so beautiful. The day could have been so much better if it hadn’t been for the dream. I wonder what a peaceful Chicago would look like.

 At that moment I hear some movement. Tris says, ‘Good morning Tobias’. I turn around to see a smiling Tris; her eyes reassure me that everything is going to be fine. Her smile is so warm; it brings back so many memories. Happy ones. I would do anything to keep that beautiful smile on her face. I slowly kiss her on her forehead. It calms me down.

 I am so blessed to have Tris in my life. I don’t want to worry her by telling her about my nightmare, I want to keep that smile on her face.

To break the silence and to keep her calm because she will know that I am hiding something from her if I don’t say something fast and won’t stop till she knows what I am hiding from her, I reply with a smile ‘Good morning, Tris.’ Tris says, ‘Why did you change your clothes? ’ Great I forgot I had changed my clothes now what explanation should I give her. ‘I wasn’t feeling very comfortable so I decided to take a shower, you should change too.’ I say, it was a half truth.

Tris says, ‘Yeah, you are right.’ She goes off to change. I sigh.

I wait for Tris, then we go to the dormitory together, our hands are entwined together. It gives me a feeling of being secure. I smile as I move along with her because I know she has become a part of me and I have become a part of her.
