A New Beginning

19

We ran after the train. Tobias jumped in first and then helped me in. 

"I missed you Tris." Tobias said

"I missed you too." I said

He put his forehead on mine. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. We stayed there for a while. Then we pulled apart and jumped off the train. We ran back to Dauntless. Uriah ran up to us.

"Will just got this crazy idea. Him and Christina are headed toward the faris wheel." Uriah said

We all ran toward the faris wheel. Will and Christina were at the bottom.

"Who's going to the top?" Will asked as he tossed a long bunjee cord in his hand

I held my hand out. Will placed the bunjee cord in my hand.

"How long is that thing?" Uriah asked

"100 yards." Will said

"Are you sure this is safe?" Christina asked

"I've done this before." I said

Will gave me a harness. I put it on. I started to climb up the side of the faris wheel. When I got to the top, I hooked the bunjee cord around the top of the wheel. I sent the bunjee cord down. I felt a tug. I found an earpiece in the pocket of my harness. I put it in my ear.

"Tris, throw your harness down." Will said

I unhooked my harness and threw it down. I heard a gunshot. I ducked.

"What was that?" Will yelled

"Someone's shooting at me." I said

A bullet found my arm. I screamed.

"Tris, calm down. Four is gonna turn the faris wheel so you can get down." Will said

"I don't know if I can hold on to the bar long enough." I said

Another bullet found my stomach. I cried out.

"Tris get on the bar. Use the bunjee cord." Will said

I slowly strapped myself to the bar on the wheel. Another bullet found my leg.

"Will," I whispered

"Tris hold on!" Will yelled

"I cant" I said

The bunjee cord came loose and fell to the ground. I held onto the bar with my hands.

"Hurry! She's slipping!" Will yelled at Tobias

"Four!" Uriah yelled

The wheel started turning faster. My grip started to fail. I was still 20 feet above the ground. Tobias turned the wheel faster. Another bullet found my shoulder blade. I gritted my teeth. My grip failed and I fell. I closed my eyes and let myself fall.

"Tell Tobias I love him." I whispered into the earpiece

"Four!" Uriah yelled

I hit something hard.

"Get her on her feet." Uriah said

I opened my eyes. I saw Uriah and Tobias on each side of me. They set me on my feet and I collapsed. Tobias caught me.

"Did you get shot?" Christina asked

I nodded.

"Where?" Tobias asked

"Arm, shoulder, ah, um, leg and stomach." I said as pain shot through me

"She's not gonna be able to get on the train." Will said
