Title: The Sharp Hint of New Tears Rating: PG Warnings: Character death? Summary: Written for the 31_days challenge. Prompt: #7 - Where were you when they broke the news? Theme: Tris.
“Tris, did you hear what I said?” Niko’s voice is hoarse from holding back tears. She wants to get up and beat her fists against his chest, ask him why he didn’t predict this. But she feels like time has slowed around her. It takes effort to raise her head and look at him.
“Are you sure?” she asks between tears. “How can you be sure?”
Niko looks at her gently. “I was there. I saw when...when her heart gave out. She hasn’t been at full health for a long time, you know that Tris.”
Tris nods numbly, wiping at her face. She is just shocked. Never had she thought that something like this would happen. Suddenly, she stands up. Niko looked at her questioningly. “Tris? Are you alright?”
“I have to find Briar,” she said, and left.

Niko and Tris are beautiful in this. Niko's showing emotion really highlighted it for me, and I love how she feels the need to find Briar. Beautifully done
