Chapter Thirty-eight

Tris keeps begging for Tobias to see her, to remember who she is. She finally drops her weapon after Tobias threatens to shoot. Then she lunges at him and she knocks the gun out of the way. They are punching and kicking each other and then Tris gets a hold of a gun.

Tris does what she has done before in her fear landscape, and gives up her gun to Tobias. The barrel soon reaches her forehead. She reaches out one final time to feel his heartbeat. Then the bullet clicks into the barrel....
