"I'm heading to school mom!" I yell as I open the door and put my ear buds in my ear. I close the door behind me and head down the drive way. I stop half way down the street, feeling someone's eyes on me. I pull one bud out of my ear and look around, "Hello?"
I shiver and move on putting the bud back in my ear. I look down as I walk through the school doors.
OH you're probably wondering who I am! I'm Aria, I'm 18 and I am adopted, I was adopted 2 years ago when my parents died and I almost did too. I get these weird dreams sometimes that look like a war, and a guy around my age appears as well. Dream me refers to him as Four. Weird name. I head to my first block class and sit down. I start pulling my books out and setting them on my desk. I look up as someone walks in and once again I feel eyes on me. I freeze as I recognize the face as the guy in my dreams. The guy goes up to the teacher's desk and introduces himself.
"Welcome, Please have a seat next to Aria." The teacher smiles and motions to the seat at my right. My eyes never leave him as he makes his way over to me. When he looks up at me there is look of recognition in his eyes. I spend the entire class glancing at him.
After school I avoid him, he had been three feet from me all day and it was weirding me out. I rush home. When I get there my house is surrounded by people. I run up to it and shove past someone, "HEY GET OUT OF HERE!" I yell at the strangers. I freeze as one pulls a gun on me.
"Beatrice Prior... you're coming with us." The one with the gun orders.
"Who is Beatrice! You have the wrong person!" I frown and back away. The next thing I know the one with the gun is on the ground and the stalker from school is standing over him.
"What are you doing Tris! Defend yourself!" He shouts.
"I don't know how!"
"You're kidding right? I trained you, I know you can."
"I don't even know who you are!"
"Think Tris."
"NO you're talking to the wrong person!" Pain erupted in my side and my hand flew to my waist. When I pulled my hand away I saw blood and I started swaying, only a few seconds passed before I passed out and fell.
When I woke up I was in the hospital. I blinked my eyes open and glanced around, "What's going on? Why are you here?" I whisper when I spot the guy from school.
"You're adopted parents weren't home, I brought you here, I was going to stay until you woke up. You got shot." He stepped forward. "Do you not remember anything Tris?"
"Why do you keep calling me that? You have the wrong person."
"No I don't. You just have to remember."
"I need to rest." I frowned and closed my eyes hoping that would get him to leave. I actually drift to sleep as I hear the door open and close. As I start to wake up again I can here whispers.
"She needs to remember." A guy's voice says.
"No not now. She's happy Tobias. She needs to stay that way. She's safe." My mom's voice.
"Vic, she was found and shot today that's why she is here. They won't stop. We need her in the city to help us again. She's safer there with us than she is hiding here where we can protect her. You guys have done an amazing job for the last year and a half but it's time."
"I dreaded the day you would come for her."
"I'm sorry. I have to wake her."
Wait wake who! The next thing I know is I black out again. This time when I wake up I feel different. I look around the room, "Tobias?" I whisper this time when my eyes land on the guy that stalked me at school. "Where am I?"
"Honey?" My mom's voice calls from my side.
"Mom?"
"How do you feel?" Tobias asks.
"Fine. What's going on?"
"David thought he killed you we hid you in the real world under a serum that would make you forget the city until the counter serum was used."
I blinked. "Why am I remembering now?"
"The city needs you."
"Needs me?"
"Every time the city was in danger of something you lead the group and kept hope going. We need that again. I need you back Tris."
I look at the woman who has taken care of me for two years. I think back to what happened after school. If I stay my guardians will be in danger.
"I don't know. I'm scared."
"We'll protect you Tris."
"Sweetie you need to go. We can't protect you out here and people are going to keep coming for you. Tobias has a better shot at protecting you in the city with your friends." My mother explains and takes my hand.
"Alright I'll go. When can I leave here?"
"We can sign you out tomorrow. You should get more rest. We're taking you out early so you'll be sore tomorrow."
I nod and close my eyes again and fall asleep once more.
