Survival (Fourtris)

Chapter 14

-TOBIAS-

the amount of sixteen to eighteen faction less members is extraordinary. I wasn't expecting half as many as this.

"There's a lot of them, isn't there." I say to Tris under my breath.

"Yeah there is." she replys.

I watch them for a couple more seconds before starting to turn back to my friends when I suddenly feel Tris go limp in my arms.

"Tris? Tris!"

"Calm down Four, she's passed out." Zeke explains, trying to get my attention. "Here, come and set her down against the wall."

I snap out of my trance and set her on the floor against the wall. By now, everyone is watching and paying attention to what's happening.

"Mind your own business yeah?" Christina yells around the room with her eyebrows raised. All Abingation instantly turn away and silently busy themselves.

"Do you know what caused her to pass out?" Christina asks

"No idea, we were watching the factionless and she seemed fine." I say.

As soon as the words come out my mouth she starts to stur.

"Tris, love, take it easy." I say, trying to make her sit still. Christina passes her a bottle of water.

"What's happening?" She asks,

"You passed out Tris." Zeke explains. "Good job at staying out of the way, like we talked about Uriah."

"Whatever Ezekiel." Zeke rolls his eyes at his brother.

"Do you know why you passed out?" I ask Tris.

"I'll tell you later." She says. I nod in appreciation. I'm pleased she isn't keeping this to herself, not too long ago, she might have.

We wait around for a couple hours after that. Just chatting about our stay in amity and what we learned in the beuru about the, 'United States', I think its called. We don't know much, but we know that it's a big peice of land which many cities and states, like Chicago, once were. Cara knows a lot more than us about it, but I don't feel in the mood for a big Eurdite explication.

I made sure Tris drunk all her water then got her more, she scared the crap out of me, even though I know she only fainted. I have no idea what I'd do if something serious happened to her again.

Eventually though, the moment we had been waiting for arrived.

"Uriah Pedrad, Ezekiel Pedrad, Amelia Penton, Samuel Portain, Danielle Prinly and Beatrice Prior. Please enter your assigned examination rooms, thank you.

I take Tris' hand and help her up before walking her to her room.

" It'll be fine ok? Just breath and deal with it as it comes yeah?" I say

"Yeah, Ok." I give her one final kiss and squeeze her hand before leaving her with Uri and Zeke either side of her.

"See you on the other side Tris!" I hear Uriah say before entering.

-TRIS-

It takes all my courage to open the door. As I enter, I see a room identical to the one I was in last time.

"Hello, my name is Austin and I'll be administering your test today." his words remind me of when Tori stood on his place. We weren't on best terms when she died, but if I could, I would change that and make peace with her. But I can't now and I'll always regret how we left things.
