Hours have passed by, and the light of day is slowly leaving. The sun began setting as the sky was a mix of orange and yellow with a hint of red. Tobias and I sit next to each other up against a crate, my head resting on his shoulder. We sit in silence the only noise is the sound of our breathing along with the mumbling of the others having conversation. Cara speaks up, breaking the silence, "We should get off the train soon."

The others besides Caleb, Tobias and myself were already standing, Caleb soon stood up as he explained to Cara how to jump off a moving train. Lynn, Marlene, Shauna, Zeke and Uriah were the first ones off the train, then Caleb, Cara and Tori. Tobias jumped off the train with ease as I jumped landing on my feet, which stung with a burning sensation as Tobias glances at me checking if I was okay. I soon step forward as the whizzing of the last few train carts pass by us, and I look at Cara as she begins explaining how to get to the wall.

"We have a bit of forest to venture before we hit the path to the wall which is a wide open field so we should be on high alert for Eric and his posse," Cara says "You are all armed right?"

"Of course we are armed" Tobias replies "All of us except Tris, at least," He added.

I looked down at my black boots, as the memory of shooting Will passes through my mind, my hand trembles at the thought of holding a gun again.

Flashback

There is a man running toward me, except it is no man but a boy. A boy with shaggy hair and a crease between his eyebrows. Will. A dull eyed and mindless Will, but still Will, my friend. He stopped running toward me and mirrored my stance with his gun up and aimed at me. I shouted his name not once but twice, my voice sounding hoarse. He couldn't hear me, he was a practical drone. As he fired bullets at me as I hid behind the supporting wall of the building me and my mother were by. I hear his gun pushing the bullet into the chamber as his fingers were resting on the trigger, ready to pull. I knew what I had to do, I click the bullet into the chamber of my gun, and fire. I shot him, Will, one of my best friends.

I shot him. I killed my best friend. I closed my eyes tightly as a wretched sob leaves my mouth.

I killed Will and I could never forgive myself.

Flashback Over

I was brought back to reality by Uriah's voice, "Tris you coming?"
I pushed the thought behind, as I walked behind Tobias with Caleb behind me.
The others are behind Caleb, with Lynn and Marlene standing by each other as well as Tori and Zeke standing side by side while Cara and Shauna trail behind us.

Shouts were heard in the distant, as well as car doors being slammed. I break into a sprint, it feels like I am breathing adrenaline instead of air. The purr of some engines began to chase us through the wooded area left of the forest.  

"Split up!" I heard someone yell, it sounded like Zeke. 

Zeke, Shauna, Marlene, Uriah and Lynn  went one way where as Tori, Caleb, Cara, Tobias and myself went in the other direction. We crash into various leaves from dangling tree branches as I dragged Caleb by the arm, I can't lose the only family member I have left. The heavy leaves had cut my cheek as well as my arms. Gunshots were flying left and right, I hear the heavy foot steps of the Dauntless traitors or maybe it was the Factionless that Evelyn sent once she knew that we were leaving, that are chasing us. We cross paths with the others when we are near the wall.  Once we had reached the wall, we began to use the grappling hooks that Zeke had got from the Erudite when he was a spy; to climb the wall. I looked back toward the woods and see the last bit of gleaming light before I start to run up the wall. Christina was the first one at the top and was going to clip the wires before being shocked due to Evelyn electrifying the fence. 

  "I'm okay" she mumbles just as Lynn made a remark about something.  Once we all made it to the top after I unelectrified the fence. There were gunshots flying toward us, they must have decided to pursue on foot.  Christina, Caleb and Cara began cutting the wires, while Tobias, Tori and Zeke began to fire at the people down below us. Once the wires were cut, we filed toward the edge of the wall, into the new adventure that lies before us. I glance back at Tori seeing as she was in awe just before she got shot. Her body crumpled down, I kneeled next to her as I screamed her name over and over again. I sobbed hysterically as I shook her dead body, Tobias fired at the man who shot Tori, as Uriah helped me to my feet and led me to our new journey.

(A/N~ I had to mix scenes from the books and movies together as well as add some of my own things as well as keep some characters alive :)
