I'm currently writing the second chapter so if you like this I could post it later on, depending if this is a good enough chapter 1.

Chapter 1

Tris' POV

I feel the string tugging on me. It gets stronger and stronger with every breath I take. I don't know what it's pulling me to, but somehow I think of them. My parents. Will. Al. Lynn. Marlene. Uriah. That is when I know what I am being pulled into.

The end.

I feel pain rush through my veins. How is that possible when my body feels so numb? I think of letting go. It would be selfish and easy, yet I remember other names. The names that make me want to stay. Tobias. Christina. Cara. Caleb. I couldn't leave them. Especially Tobias. I let a tear escape at the thought of him finding me dead. I know that I can't do that to him. I can't leave him.

I feel motion beside me, coming from all angles with a loud sound of a gunshot residing through my bones, and before I know it, everything goes black.

Tobias' POV

I rush into the entrance of the Bureau.

"Where is everyone?" Amar asks. It's empty except for Cara standing in the middle of the room. She has bruises from her forehead to her chin, but what bothers me is the look on her face. I automatically think of her. Tris. My Tris.

"Where is she?" I ask, walking up to Cara.

"Tobias.. I... I'm so sorry" she says

"Sorry for what?" the words barely escape my mouth.

"Cara? What happened?" I hear Christina walk up next to me. Her voice is unsteady.

"Tris. She went instead of Caleb. She survived the death serum, but David was inside the Weapon's Lab. He shot her multiple times and the doctors... The doctors don't think she will make it"

And before she finishes, I am running. Running faster then I ever ran before. Christina is at my heels as I burst through the hospital doors, not slowing down for anything.

Of course should would go instead of Caleb.

I only stop at the front desk.

"Where is Tris Prior?" I hear myself shout at the lady behind the desk.

"Third door to the right" she says without looking up. I run to the door and almost break the door handle off.

Inside, I see her lying down on the white cot. From far, she looks peaceful. As if she is sleeping, but once I step closer, I see that her face is unnaturally pale. A heart monitor stands beside her. I sit on the chair and take her hand in mine. Bandages wrap her torso, left arm and back. I wince at the thought of the bullets going through her, whilst I was in Chicago.

Christina comes through the doorway and I can hear her take a sharp intake of breath as she sees Tris, lying on the verge of life, right in front of her. I bring Tris' hand up to my mouth and kiss is softly. Through the coldness I can feel a small amount of her warmth.

"I should have been there for you" i find myself saying. "All those times you were there for me, Tris. All those times I needed you and you were there. You were brave, Tris. You were the first jumper. Even I didn't jump first"

A tear escapes my eyes and the next moment my vision blurs and I let it all out. I hear Christina come up behind me and place a hand on my shoulder. I know it is meant to comfort me but the tears won't stop and I find myself weeping next to Tris, holding her lifeless arm in my hand. I feel that if I squeeze hard enough that she will wake up, her eyes round and her smile strong.

"Christina, I was wondering if you could give us some time alone. If you don't mind" the sound barely made it through my throat but what came out was hoarse and painful.\

"Of course. I'll be outside" she says. I hear her sniff as she closes the door behind us.

"I love you" i whisper into Tris' hair as I bend over to give her a hug. I'm afraid that I will hurt her so it doesn't last that long.

"We were meant to stay together. We were meant for each other, Tris. I want you to know that I would do anything for you. I was going to drop out of Dauntless before you came. You gave me a reason to stay. We are meant to grow old together, get married, have children, stay together. I want that for us, Tris. I want us to live a normal life. Together"

The heart monitor makes a sudden sound that makes me jump.

She can hear me.
