A/N Hi, this is my first fanfic so I hope you like it. Please review with constructive critisism or just anything you want to say about it. I am also open to ideas for later chapters. Thank you so much
Disclaimer: Sadly, I am not the wonderful Veronica Roth so all rights go to her :(
We all stretch our hands over the net for her to grab. She chose mine. Of all the others, mine. I would have been fine with that if it weren't for the fact that I went out with her in Abnegation when I wasn't supposed to, that she might remember me and reveal everything to Dauntless. I lifted her off the net but let go as soon as she was safely on solid ground again.
"What's your name?" I ask, silently begging her not to show any recognition. However, even if she did notice me, she didn't show it.
"Um...uh" she stammers.
"Is it a hard one" I inquire, then I feel the familiar arms of Skylar around my waist. Great.
"Tris" she says.A new place, a new name, she can be remade here
"I can't believe it" Skylar remarks "A Stiff, the first to jump? Unheard of". She's right.
"First Jumper-Tris-Abnegation" I shout over the noise of the Dauntless compund. "Welcome to Dauntless i say to her patting her back, careful not to show too much affection towards her. I will get her alone soon and explain. I have to. "Dauntless-borns go with Skylar, I'm guessing you don't need a tour of the place; Transfers, follow me" I yell to the initiates. Skylar comes over to me and quickly kisses me on the lips before leading the dauntless borns away. "My name's Four-" I begin before being rudely interrupted by a candor.
"Four like the number?" she asks. She seems to have befriended Tris. I'm glad she has found a friend despite her background.
"Exactly like the number. Is there a problem?" I ask towering over her.
"Yeah, were One Two and Three taken?" she continues, she really doesn't know when to shut up.
"What's your name" I ask quietly.
She doesn't reply but instead shakes all over.
"Her name is Christina and she wasn't trying to be rude Four" Tris interjects emphasizing the word 'Four' She remembers. She knows. I take a step backand say "The first lesson you will all learn from me; especially you two; is to keep your mouth shut. Your lucky its just me or you would have been thrown out by now" I add glaring at Christina and Tris. "We are just about to enter the pit" I start.
"Pit clever name" Christina whispers to Tris. They both laugh.
"Shut up" I tell them not bothering to tell them off. It's not my problem if they are lke this for Eric later. He will probably kick them out soon. I open the door and a loud wall of noise hits me. There are some young Dauntless running along the edge of the chasm and out of the corner of my eye I see Tris looking at them worriedly. "This is the chasm" I say " One jump, slip or fall in here will end your life. It has happened every year in the past and it will happen again. ou have been warned" I lead them to the dining hall which is already packed. I find an empty table and take my food over there.
"I'm going to sit with Will and Al, you sit where you want" I hear Christina's loud voice carry across the hall. Before I know it, Tris is sitting next me.
"Tobias" she says. I know Skylar will be here soon so I do my best to warn her about my secret.
"Be a good girl and do not breathe a word of what you know about me to anyone-not even my name" I murmer."Don't worry" she replies "I wasn't planning to". The Dauntless-borns come filing in but there's no sign of Skylar
"Good" I say.
"The Erudite released a report a couple of days ago to Abnegation only. It contained the only true thing that they have released so far" She says. This intrigues me.
"What's it about" I ask her. Just then Uriah comes over.
"Skylar said to tell you that Eric needed her for an emergency meeting" he says and walks away to join his . Everyone knows that Skylar has a thing for Eric, who knows what they're doing now.
"It was about you" Tris says breaking me from my thoughts. As I register what she said I begin to worry. She must see this because she says "Well, it was about the scars on your back" she recovers. I am still worried but not as much as before. They won't believe the Erudite anyway.
"So Erudite released a report about how Marcus abused me?" I confirm.
"Yep" is her reply.
"Four!" I hear a male voice ahout across the hall. Zeke.
"Got to go, sorry" I say and get up to make my was across to my friends. When I get there, I get bombarded with questions. "Who is she?", "Do you like her?", "Why are you sitting alone with her" etc.
"She's a Stiff initiate who had nowhere to sit. And it's not like me and Skylar are dating or anything" I tell them sarcasticly. I need to find Skylar."I'm going to find Skylar, I'll see you guys later" I say getting up and leave the dining hall. I go to her apartment, the training room, Eric's office, everywhere. I'm about to give up and go home when I hear Skylar's scream from Eric's apartment. I run to the door and bang on it until it opens after a few minutes. I can't believe my eyes when I see Skylar standing in the doorway, her top on back to front and her hair messed up. (A/N.Omg, Love Yourself just came on the radio! Reminds me of this so much!)
"Hey babe" she says leaning in to give me a hug. I back away so she can't reach me.
"Don't, its over" I say and walk away back to my apartment. I can't stop thinking about Tris. Seeing her again today made me realise why we broke the rules in Abnegation. Why we always snuck around the compound away from everyone to be alone just because we wanted to be. The reason why she didn't talk to me a week after I told her I was going to transfer. Does she remember too?
