Divergent-Survive

Chapter 7

TRIS PRIOR'S POV

I get in the car with Four by my side, our fingers latched together. Christina and Uriah sit in the front seats, Uriah is in the driver seat.

As he drives, there is long lapse of time of uncomfortable silence.

"Are you guys close friends?" Four questions, breaking the silence.

"Well, we have a sibling like friendship. In some ways, I'm was like the annoying brother, and she was the fashion girly sister. Well, that was before the apocalypse. That changes your whole personality." Uriah explains. He's right about the apocalypse changing you.

Four grew more serious, I also did. It's as if all the fun got sucked out of us. Depressed and sad are words that fit . Even though Four and I have each other, which is great, we're depressed anyway. The world is gone to shit, many of our loved ones died, and I'm pregnant.

So how can you be happy in this world? Because I can't.

"But anyway, we treat each other like family. We met a long time ago before the apocalypse. " Uriah adds, turning right.

"Are you guys married? " Christina asks.

"No, we were dating before the apocalypse." I respond.

"When did you figure out you were pregnant?"

"A few days ago, I took a pregnancy test."

She nods and the silence starts again.

~TIME LAPSE~

After about 30 minutes, Uriah parks in front of a library. This is the camp? I suppose it's safe inside.

"Okay, if you thought it will be in the woods or something, you're wrong. Our camp is in the public library, obviously." Christina explains. They get out of the car, I open the car door but Four grips my arm, I turn my head to look at him.

"Stay near me." He says, I nod and he releases me. I hop out of the vehicle and so does Four. Uriah and Christina walk to the library doors and I follow, Four comes right next to me. A few dead ones come but Four stabs them in the head.

When we reach the door, Uriah knocks 3 times and after 6 seconds, he knocks 6 times. The door opens after a minute or two and there's a guy, about late 2os, and looks familiar to Uriah's facial features.

"Hey Uri and Chris," He states in a deep voice, he glares at us briefly before looking back at Uriah. "who's them?"

"They saved Christina," Uriah responds. The boy thinks for a while but then smiles slightly at us.

"Well then, come on in." The guy states and steps out of the way. Uriah and Christina go in and then we do.

The library stinks of blood, yet you can still smell the faintest amount of that book page smell. After a while though, it's gone.

It's quiet and Christina and Uriah walked away. The door gets boarded up by the guy that let us in. He turns around.

"I'm Zeke," the guy states, bringing out his hand. I shake it and he shakes Four's hand and Four gives him a tight smile.

A girl pops up from behind us, while we still face the large oak doors where Zeke stands. She's about in her 20s, she has short brown hair and golden brown eyes, she's pretty.

"Hey, I'm Lynn. And this is Ezekiel." She introduces.

"It's Zeke, Lynn!" Zeke exclaims. She rolls her eyes and punches his arm playfully.

"Whatever, Ezekiel." She responds. Zeke stays silent yet he seems angry. "Anyway, whats your name girl?" She questions.

"I'm Tris." I tell her. Lynn nods.

"What about you?" She asks Four.

"I'm Four." He replies.

"Like the number?" Zeke asks.

"Yeah." Four states.

"Cool," Lynn says. Zeke just smiles.

"Well, Four and Tris, you guys friends or?" Zeke asks.

"We're a couple. We aren't married." Four responds. Zeke nods slightly.

"Well, let me show you guys around," Zeke tells us and walks past us, Lynn walks away to do whatever she was doing earlier, so Four and I turn around and face the huge library. Two floors.

Desk are scattered with a few people sitting. Blankets are scattered too. Bookshelves are everywhere.

I look at Four and he looks back at me.

This could be our new home.

We glance back at Zeke, and then we follow him.
