Chapter Thirty-Nine

The shot doesn't come. Tobias doesn't know how, but he is snapped out of the simulation by her voice.

"I don't know. I just heard your voice." - Tobias

 They go back to the computers and they see that Caleb, Peter, and Marcus are surrounded by Dauntless guards. Tobias races to stop the simulation and he clicks the screen one last time and the Dauntless guards freeze.

Realizing what is going on and not really knowing what they've done, they all start arguing and accusing each other of things because they don't really know what just happened.

Tobias also takes the simulation data so they can't start the simulation all over again. They leave as fast as possible, but my concern is what is Tobias going to do when he sees Marcus?

When they get to the outside of the Dauntless compound, Peter, Caleb and Marcus are okay. When Marcus sees Tobias, he hugs him like nothing bad has ever happened. Tobias winces and looks up as if he in pain.

That is my biggest pet peeve about people. How they can do something horrible and then pretend like it never happened. They say its for the sake of moving on and that you shouldn't hold a grudge, but I think you can only do that for so long. It also depends on what the person did. I would not be able to forgive Marcus for what he did, so I don't blame Tobias.

Tris pushes him away and says that the only reason she hasn't shot him is because Tobias should be the one who gets to do it. Tobias is grateful for her, but he doesn't kill Marcus.

They all agree that the safest place to go now is to the Amity compound because that is where any other survivors would've headed. She doesn't know the fate of Tori or Christina. She doesn't even know if she can ever face Christina again after what she did to Will. I know I wouldn't be able to.

Tobias ends up admitting that he loves Tris while on the Train to the Amity compound, so at least they had a happy ending. Not much is known about what they will do once they arrive to safety though, if going there is even safe anyway.

"Abnegation and Dauntless are both broken, their members scattered. We are like the factionless now. I don't know what life will be like, separated from a faction-it feels disengaged, like a leaf divided from the tree that gives it sustenance. We are creatures of loss; we have left everything behind. I have no home, no path, no certainty. I am no longer Tris the selfless, or Tris the brave. I suppose that now, I must become more than either." - Tris

Overall I loved this book, but I am not very enthused with the ending. I feel that it cut a lot short and sped through some really important events. I loved the themes that the book covers and I can't wait to see what happens to the storyline. Hopefully all of these unanswered questions will be addressed in the next installment, Insurgent.
