Far From You

Chapter 7

Time for Capture the Flag... HAVE FUN AND ENJOY! 💕😋

"Are you ready?"

Bea gives me a small smile as she jumps gracefully into the moving train. In the compartment that Christina jumped through.

"How?" I'm muttering to myself.

We've barely taught her how to get into a moving train.

"Tris didn't need to learn," is now running through my head.

I hoist the guns on my shoulder as I slam the button with my hand. The button in front of the one Bea just jumped through.

The train's doors fly open, and I hold out my hand to Zeke.

Zeke's having trouble, as he's the one carrying the ammo. Peter has the flags, and I have the guns.

I pull him in, and Bea leans against the wall, biting her lip.

I stare at her, and then when she catches me, she returns the stare.

I break it. It's too intense.

"Lauren and Four team captains," Christina says.

"Peter," Lauren begins. We've made the teams before we decided to play.

"Bea."

"Lynn."

"Zeke."

"Shauna."

"Christina."

"Cara."

We jump off, and Cara tags behind me, along with Bea. They're talking.

I lead the group to the Ferris wheel.

We begin to discuss our plans.

I notice Bea is wandering away from the group.

"Is she thinking like Tris again?" I whisper to myself, following her.

She's testing the strength of the Ferris wheel.

I smile, then hoist myself up after her.

"You know the wheel works?"

Bea raises her eyebrows.

I nod, "My Tris climbed it, but when she slipped I took a risk and tried to get it to work."

"Tris seems like an amazing person," Bea says kindly.

"You don't know how much," I think to myself, smiling.

Bea stares at the wheel, thinking.

"Tris..." I whisper to myself.

"Wouldn't they see us, with the wheel moving?"

"We're Dauntless, we're born to take risks," I smile at her.

I told Bea to sit in one of the carts. I pressed a button and entered after her.

I'm not afraid of heights. Not anymore. Tris helped me.

She helped me to become the better.

But now that's she's gone... I guess it's coming back.

I might have five fears now, I just might. But I'm Four, not Five (if anyone sees someone using this quote, report them to me. I made this quote myself).

"You know, you look like someone I've seen before," she whispers.

My hearts starts to beat. Does she know my name is Tobias?

"Maybe," I tell her in my instructor voice. Dark, intimidating, unkind.

Her face darkens at the voice, and we're on the top of the wheel now.

"There!" her fingers are pointed towards a tree. The faint green glow.

We sit in silence as the Ferris wheel brings us down.

When I return, everyone's smiling.

And you know why's that?

Because my Tris Prior may still be in Bea Prior.

Can you hear my beating heart, tonight? Before the bleeding soul comes to life...

GOD I LOVE THAT SONG...
