Allegiant: Is This The End?

Chapter 4

Hello everyone!

I will only update once in a week because you know in a normal teenager's life nothing is normal.

Please do not refrain yourself from commenting, voting or sharing. It will not go unnoticed.

Love you all!

Tris

I am still so happy that Uriah is alive. Then I remember that Matthew still has to inoculate Uriah.

I drag Uriah with myself to where I think Matthew must be. I am lucky that I find him soon enough.

Matthew smiles at me. I smile back and gesture my hand towards Uriah.

Matthew either has a very bad observation or he is too busy. He didn’t notice him at first but after I gestured my hand towards him, you should have looked at Matthew’s face. He was completely shocked. It looked as if eyes would come out but soon enough he regained his composure.

‘Hi Uriah ’, Matthew says. Uriah replies, ‘Hi. Please don’t look at me like that, I did not vanish in thin air and reappeared suddenly, so please.’ I tried to stifle a laugh, emphasis on tried. Uriah gives me a look. Then I remember, the reason I dragged him here for.

I say, ‘Matthew please inoculate him for you-know-what.’ At that Uriah asks me ‘For what? Something was going on while I was out, right.’ Oh yeah, Uriah was not present while we were making plans on how to prevent ‘the bureau’ from resetting ‘the experiment’.

I say, ‘If the whole gang tells together it will be better, so you will have to wait.’ Uriah pouts. I laugh. After he is inoculated, I go for an emergency meeting and I come to know that they are planning to reset the experiment after a week as there are few matters they have to take care of.

 Perfect, that’s what we needed, more time. The meeting was quite short.

 I rush towards the gang and sit beside Tobias.  I tell them about the latest developments regarding the experiment. All of them are happy. Then we all tell Uriah what all he has missed. He is quite surprised at the change of events after he went into a coma.

All this time Tobias does not say a word. He is looking down. I sigh. I guess he is still blaming himself for what happened to Uriah.

 I hold his left hand in mine right hand. Our hands fit perfectly as if they were made for each other. I smile at this thought because I know that we were made for each other.

 I look up and see that Tobias is staring at me. I blush. I look at his blue eyes and get lost in the depths of his eyes. Those eyes remind me that as long as I am with him nothing matters.

Someone nudges me on my left and I suddenly snap out of my daze and I am brought back to reality. Christina is sitting beside me on my left.

 I realize that I was looking at Tobias for quite some time, I sigh. I look back towards the group. We all decide that Caleb should not go alone to the weapons lab. It will be better if someone goes with him.

 No one is ready to volunteer when someone raises a hand to volunteer.

 This is the last person; I will expect to raise his hand.

 Peter raised his hand!! Can you believe this, Peter raised his hand! There are gasps from everyone.

 Peter says, ‘I know I have done a lot of things which I should not have done. I want to change the way you all think about me. I want to become a better person. I want to change myself and this is how I am planning to do it. Please don’t argue with me. I feel so guilty for what I have done in the past. I am sorry if I have hurt you guys in the past. I promise I would not let you down this time.’ He gives a smile after he is finished.

Tobias does not look very surprised.

For the first time I realize that Peter could be a good person if he had chosen to be one but he didn’t.

 We all agree since no one else is volunteering still I doubt Peter, anyway. I ask Matthew who joined us right now, ‘Is the suit ready? Are you sure there is no such thing that can prevent the death serum or something that will slow it down to a huge extent?’

‘The suit is ready and I really don’t think that there is something within my reach that can prevent the death serum from working. All I can try is to slow it down but I will still work on it.’

 ‘Okay, try your best.’

I can’t believe I am sending Caleb to his own death. What kind of a sister am I?  It’s like I am doing the same thing to him what he did to me but in a different way.

 I still have not forgiven him for what he did to me.

He betrayed our parents, he betrayed me. He chose Jeanine Matthews over us, he really believed in the motion ‘Faction over blood’.

After talking about random ideas and the plan, we eat our lunch together, and then we go our separate ways. Tobias and I head towards our room.
