Chapter Thirty Three - The One Where Everyone Sleepwalks

When Tris is sleeping in the dormitory, she wakes up and notices everybody getting ready in a hurry. There is something weird here. Everybody's eyes are glazed over and their movements are in unison. It's as if everybody is sleepwalking at the exact same time. Tris realizes that this must be the tracking serum in work and that she is not effected because she is divergent. To avoid getting in trouble, Tris emulates the moves of the "sleepwalkers" and follows along with them to the train.

All of the sleepwalkers arm themselves with guns. Tris notices Tobias. She hopes that he is not a sleepwalker because then she would be wrong about being divergent. All of a sudden, Tris feels his hand grab her's. Yay! Tobias is divergent! The two play along and when they reach the Abnegation HQ, Tobias says to run away, but Tris doesn't want to leave her home faction behind.

Meanwhile, the sleepwalking soldiers are mindlessly killing Abnegation civilians. The war has begun. When the group walks by Eric, he threatens to shoot Tobias because he is supposed to be a sleepwalker. This reveals just how much Eric truly liked Tobias. He couldn't stand him, and the same could be said by Tobias.

Instead of watching her beau die, Tris takes action. She takes her gun and points it at the temple of Eric. Shooting Eric in the head would cause too much of a problem. She needs to keep him alive, but prove a point. She decides to shoot him in the foot. Tris and Tobias make a run for it.

While trying to escape, Tris is shot in the shoulder (everything has to do with the shoulder in this book) and falls to the ground. Tobias tends to her and they are caught by the Dauntless leaders.
