A New Beginning

24

Tobias POV
Tris' heart monitor stopped and her eye closed.

"Oh no." Jen said

"What? What happened?" I asked

"There were traces of death serum in that syringe." Jen said

Zeke came into the room. Tris' arm was hanging over the edge of the bed. I launched myself at Jen. Zeke held me back. She backed up in fear.

"You killed her!" I yelled

Everyone rushed into the room. I strained against Zeke. Christina desperately tried to wake Tris. I broke out of Zeke's grip only to be pulled back again. Jen ran away.

"You will pay for this!" I yelled

Uriah and Zeke pulled me back. I looked at Tris. She look peaceful.
Her arm was still slung over the edge of the bed. Christina put Tris' arm on the bed. I held back my tears. Tris was really dead. Christina noticed.

"Let's give him some time alone." Christina said pulled Will put into the waiting room

Everyone left the room. I stared at her lifeless body. I sat in the chair next to her. Jen came back.

"We need you to leave so we can take care of the body." Jen said

I angrily left the infirmary. Zeke followed after me. I went into my apartment and slammed the door.

Tris POV-5 days later
I wanted to wake up. I heard Tobias try and kill Jen. I felt a tingling in my toes slowly going up my body. It was wearing off. I opened my eyes. I was on a cold metal table in the morgue. I stared at the ceiling for a while. Then I decided to get up. I tried to sit up but ended up rolling off the table and onto the floor. I heard the door open.

"I can't believe I never saw a torn down side of Four." Will said

"She's gone." Christina said

"Let's go tell the nurses." Will said

They walked out and the doors closed. I slowly dragged myself along the floor. I used the wall the bring myself to my feet. I leaned against the wall. The nurse came in.

"Oh my god. You're alive." She said

I started to fall. She caught me. She sat me on the floor. She brought a stretcher over and helped me onto it. She wheeled me to the infirmary. She set me on a bed.

Tobias POV
I sat in my apartment, still mourning over Tris' death. I heard a knock on my apartment door. I got up and opened it. Christina was standing there.

"Tris' body isn't in the morgue. We just went there to see her and she wasn't there." Christina said

"What?" I almost yelled

She led me to the morgue. Tris' body was no longer there.

"Where- where do you think they took her?" I asked

"Probably to prepare her for the funeral." Christina said

I nodded.

"Thank you for letting me know." I said before walking to my apartment

Tris POV
After I regained my strength, I walked out of the infirmary. I fixed myself up to make myself look decent. I walked to Tobias' apartment. I banged on the door.

"Leave me alone!" Tobias yelled

"Four! Open up!" I said

Tobias opened the door. His face lit up when he saw me. He pulled me into the apartment and closed the door. I jumped into his arms. He lifted me off the ground.

"How are you alive?" Tobias asked

"I'm divergent." I said

He laughed.

"I love you so much." Tobias said

"I love you too."

He set me down.

"How about lunch? 5 days without food you have to be starving." Tobias said

I laughed and we went to the packed cafeteria. We sat down at our regular table. The cafeteria went quiet. I heard a thud. Uriah was below the ledge.

"How the hell are you alive?" He said

"Magic." I said, standing up

He ran over to me and almost tackled me.

"I'm glad I have my sister back." Uriah said

A month later
I woke in Tobias' apartment to screaming and gunshots. I got up and slipped my boots on. Tobias grabbed my arm and ran out with me beside him. We met Christina, Will, and Uriah outside. We ran. We took off for the fence. Once we were over, Will seemed amazed.

"What is going on?" I asked. "Why are we out her again. I can't live in the same building as the person who killed Caleb."

Tears spilled over into my cheeks. I heard the truck and tensed.

"Tris, what is it?" Will asked

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Tris." David hissed

I froze. Anger boiled in my veins. I reached for the gun in my back pocket. My fingers coiled around the trigger.

"Tris, I'm sorry I-" David said

I pulled my gun out and loaded it. I pointed it at David. He put his hands up.

"Tris! Put the gun down." Christina said

"He killed Caleb. The only family I had left. You're not sorry David. You're enjoying every bit of this." I hissed

David pulled out his own gun and pointed it at me.

"This is not going to end well." Will said

"YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS!" I yelled

David's finger tightened around the trigger of his gun. I saw he was about to shoot, so I dropped my gun. David lowered his gun.

"Hop in." He said before getting back in the passenger seat

We climbed into the bed of the truck. I sat on the edge of the bed. Tobias came over and sat by me. He put an arm around my shoulders. I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"I know this is hard for you Tris but you can't just try and kill David at every chance." Tobias said

"Yeah." I whispered

We arrived at the Bureau. Tobias jumped out first and I jumped out after him. Will was in utter shock. Christina and Will jumped out before we went back into the Bureau, the place I dreaded the most.
