Four POV;

I stand in the hall of my palace. The Roman banners are hung everywhere on the walls. I'm standing in my nicest outfit next to my fiancé Lauren. Lauren has dark blue eyes that stand out among her face, her dark brown almost black hair is tied up in the fanciest mess. I can imagine it's suppose to appeal to me but it just looks like it mess. Lauren is beautiful I guess but did I forget to mention, she's a bitch.

Really if I had any say in how my life was run I would make sure she was on the next ship out of here. She always act as if she's the best, and maybe to some she is but not to me. To me she's an arrogant bitch who thinks she's all that plus some. My father though says we must marry to that our countries can be united. My father, Marcus, is the Emperor of Rome, Lauren is the daughter of the Emperor of Greece. We're set to be married in a month's time, it seems far away to some but to me it seems like its tomorrow.

Right now we're having a huge feast to commemorate out engagement. Lauren is out there talking everybody up, flirting with some people. I however am sitting at a table talking to my favorite servant Matthew. I'm not a very social person but Lauren is so I plan to let her do all the talking.

Matthew is rambling on about something heard in the kitchen's about how some servant got in a fight with Reece blah blah blah. I'm not listening but Matthew doesn't mind. He's the closest thing to a friend that I have and I'd guess he doesn't mind being friends with the future Emperor of Rome. He's talking about a new dish when suddenly the doors to the banquet hall burst open. Five guards march in. Two in the front, one in the back, and two in the center dragging a girl between them.

The girl looks to be about my age, 18. She has dark blonde hair that is tied up but some strands have escaped and hang in her face. Her eyes are most interesting though, they seem to be a combination of blue and green with just a hint of grey. Her face has a huge bruise on her forehead and one forming on her cheek. I glance around at Lauren and see her eyes flash with recognition, then anger, and finally surprise.

"Your Highness," the head guard steps forward, "We caught this girl stealing from the royal treasure room as well as your room." I nod, wondering how she got into the castle in the first place. "Hmm." I think aloud, she's very pretty and I'm interested in where she came from. "Send her to my room." I tell the guard, "I'll question her there."

The guard nods and immediately they turn to and start dragging the girl away. As she's dragged along the ground I can hear her screaming profanities at me, yelling and shouting but nobody pays her any attention. As the party returns to normal Lauren comes up to me. She's talking about our wedding and all around flirting with me but I don't pay her any mind.

Even if we're going to be married it doesn't mean I have to like her. Suddenly she snaps her fingers in front of my face and I turn my attention to her, snapping out of my thoughts. "Hello!" she says, "I asked you if you wanted any kids after the wedding." I look at her, dumb founded.

"Not with you." I tell her with a snap in my voice and I walk away, telling Matthew to stop the party and that everybody is to be sent home. "Oh." and I stop him before he can get too far "Send Lauren to her room, I'll be up to speak with her after I've dealt with the thief."

Matthew nods and heads off, soon I see guests walking towards the door ready to leave, Before anybody can stop and question me I leave, and make way towards my room.

Tris's POV;

It's before the party has begun. I'm standing outside Prince Four's palace, Princess Lauren is standing in front of me. She's talking rapidly and I'm trying to keep up with white she's saying. "You'll have to sneak in with the key's a gave you. Make sure you don't get caught at all! Make sure your not seen. Once your inside take the southern hallway down to Prince Four's room. Once there get all the jewels you can. Once you've taken everything drop it off at the meeting place. If you have time make your way down the eastern hallway and take a right then a left and go straight. You'll find the royal treasure room, the key I gave you should unlock the door. In there you'll find an abundance of jewels and coins. Take as much as you can and drop it off. Once everything is done you get out there and run back to your hut. I'll fetch for you in the morning."

I nod, trying to remember everything she says. I know if I forget anything and mess this up my back will be sore for months. I also know that my parent's reputation and pride are at risk. When I became Lauren's personal maid my parents were really proud and if anything leaks out that I messed up something so important they will never get over the shame.

"I'm going back in to get ready, once the music starts you get in and do the job." I nod "Yes milady."

She nods once and heads inside. As she walks away I think God Tris if you mess this up you'll may as well be dead. If I had known what was to happen next I wish I could have died then and there on the spot.

I sneak around the corner heading for Prince Four's room. I slowly turn the door open and enter his room. I forget to close the door though and as I'm grabbing some coins I hear a yell from a guard nearby. "Shit." I mutter to myself. I quickly grab the jewel's and sprint out of the room. As soon as I'm around the corner however I trip over who knows what and fall on my face, my cheek taking the brunt. I already feel a bruise forming and before I can get up a guard grabs my arm and pulls me up. "Where do you think you're going miss?" He asks me, a sly and stupid grin on his face. "Nowhere with you." I say, thrusting my hand upwards and punching him in the nose. I promptly sprint off making sure not to drop any of the jewel's. The exit is in sight when another guard grabs my and punches me in the forehead, adding another bruise. "Come on you." he says in a gruff voice. I try to get away but I can't and soon other guard join him. Now I am trapped.

Great, I think to myself quietly You did fantastic Tris. Real good work there. As two guard drag me by my arms I make sure to kick them and scream at the top of my lungs. If I'm going down I'm going down with a fight. Many servants peek out of doorway's to see me but I don't stop. At some point a guard slaps me and tells me to shut up but I don't. Finally the doors to the banquet hall open and I'm dragged in a room full of people.

I spot Lauren instantly and she looks away from me her eyes burning with anger and shame. Then I see Prince Four. Considering the circumstances it was weird for my first thought to be "He's handsome."

Of course he's not nearly as handsome as my boyfriend Peter but he's pretty damn fine. His black hair sits on his head and sticks out at a couple of weird places which seems to just enhance his features. His eyes captivate me though, they're a blue and grey mixed and they seem to fit him nicely. I 'm too lost in thought about him to hear anything but I do manage to catch, "..Take her to my room.."

As soon as the guard pick me up again I scream every word I have at him. I forget how gorgeous I thought he was not 5 seconds ago and go full blown on him, pulling out every name in the book. As I'm dragged away I send a silent prayer to the Goddess of Peace & Kindness, Amity, to keep me safe.

As we go back to where I came from I can't help but imagine all the things that could go wrong when he comes to "question" me. I could never have thought of what actually happened though.

So I've written this story before but never had the chance to finish it and I know I let some peeps down so I decided to REMAKE it! Yay!

I really hope you guys like this twist on FourTris. I'll be uploading the next chapter soon but I'm gonna need at least 1 positive review before I do.

Thank You All and I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
