Dauntless Born

Chapter five~ NOOOOOOOO

~Zeke

I wake up to the sound of breathing. Not just one person, but two. Two small, fragile, little bodies. I'm on my back and two small heads are resting on my chest. I look down and see Uri and Tris. I smile. I carefully take one head at a time and lay them down on a pillow. I get up and quietly walked out of the room. I love them so much.

TWO YEARS LATER

Mom and Dad don't have work today,

but they aren't here.

"Tris. Uri. Wake up." I shake them awake. They groan. "Let's go find Mommy and Daddy. They are playing hide and seek with us." Thy jump out of bed and run out of the apartment. I laugh and chase after them. We get to the pit and I tell them we need to split up.

A few minutes later I hear Tris scream. I run over to her and she is looking into the chasm, crying. No, sobbing. I look over and see what she is looking at. Two adult figures laying on the bottom. Mom and Dad. Uriah runs over and starts crying too. I pull them both into a tight hug and we walk back to the apartment.

Later that day Tris runs out of the apartment sobbing. I try to get her because there is some people shooting at each other for no reason. It's too late. I hear Tris scream in pain and hold her chest and her side. She crumples. I grab her under her arms and drag her around a corner. I remove her hands and examine her wounds. There is one bullet that landed dangerously close to her heart and one in her side, just below her ribs. Luckily a nurse is walking down the hallway with a stretcher and rushes over to us. The nurse doesn't talk. She just gets Tris secured on the stretcher and wheels her away.

I run back to the apartment and Uriah is still where I left him. Staring at the wall. no crying, no talking, no moving, just staring. He is still in shock. I walk over to him and sit next to him. I run my hand through his hair and down his back. Then, I pull him into me. I hold him tightly and silently cry into his hair.
