I wanted to know what it would be like if Beatrice and Tobias were the same age and knew each other from Abnegation. Ive read alot of fanfics like this before, but it is rare to find one that meets my wants. So i decided to write one for all of you who understand my delima.
Beatrice 10 years old
I look up from the apples i was picking in the amity gardens, when i heard a snap in the trees. I see a small flash of grey. I laugh. There is only one person who would try to sneak up on me in Abnegation.
"Tobias! Stop spying on me and help me pick these apples!" i said through my fit of giggles. Toby pokes his head through the bushes with a silly grin.
"How did you know it was me?" he said.
"How wouldnt i know it was you?" i said amused. "You are not very stealthy." He huffed pretending to be stumped.
"Well how can i argue with that? " He said sarcastically, as he looked around before throwing his arm around my shoulders.
Now i know you must be wondering what in the world i am in Amity, when i am Abnegation. Me and Toby volunteered to pick food for the factionless today. We have know each other practically from the womb. Tobias's mom had him a month before my mom had me and we happened to be neighbors. We grew up together. We took our first steps together, even if it did happen at completely different times. We said our first words together. When Toby's mama died i was with him. He cried in my arms for hours. Later, i found out his father was beating him. I just held him, as he would hold me, whenever i was having a bad day. I often sat there feeling helpless and cried as i held him to me. I clean up his cuts and bruses. While, i love my family, i do not love Abnegation enough to stay here. I can not stay and nither can Toby. I cannot let that sick thing that calls himself Toby's father stay in Toby's life. I need to get him out of here, i need to get us out of here.
"Toby" i said suddenly turning to him making his arm fall from my sholders.
"We need to talk about something, in our place." i said. He looked at me confused, but nodded instead of saying anything.
We walk to our tree. We come to amity as often as we can so we can get a small sence of freedom. Our tree is on the far side of the gardens, behind a bunch of bushes. It does not have any fruit, but has the most beautiful flowers. Nobody comes here anymore. I am not even sure if anyone knows that it is here. We would not have found it if we were not playing in the bushes.
"What is wrong B?" He said concerned.
"Toby, where are we going to go?" i said.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"I mean, Where are we going to go when we turn 16. We cant stay in Abnegation Toby!" i say. Realizeation dawned on his face and he began to think.
"Well, where do you wanna go?" he said. "Where ever you go, i will go."
"No Toby! We need to chose together! I will chose and you will chose. Lets talk about our option and rule them out." i said.
"But what if we want different things.. i cant lose you B." he said sadly.
"Dont worry T. We will figure this out... Now, we already have Abnegation ruled out..." i say.
"I there is no way in dancing turtles that i am going to Erudite. You?" he said making me giggle as i laid my head down in his lap.
"No! i dont ever want to go there!" i said.
"If it was not for the fact that amity put stuff in their bread to make them loopy, i would stay here. But at the same time, they are just TOO happy.. You know? It is kind of annoying... so that is a no for amity." i said.
He shook his head. "They are exteamly annoying and alittle to happy.. and the bread.. But i love the way they make decidions, B. There is something amazing about it you know?" he said.
"But the question is do ya wanna come and stay here for the rest of your life, not do ya like the congress..." i say.
"No.. Goodness, No.. i can not stay with them for the rest of my life." he said. I nod.
"Candor?" i asked. I really hope he says no. I can not go to Candor. The whole world knows i would be kicked out the very next day if i chose candor, and i would rather be dead than factionless. He quickly shook his head.
"No!" he said. "You?"
"Toby, me and you both know i would not survive a day in candor! I do not even know why you asked me!" I said faking being hurt and offended. He laughed.
"B, that means we have to chose Dauntless." he said.
"Do you wanna go there?" i asked.
"Do you?" he said in reply.
"Yes, Toby i wanna go there so bad. I wanna be free Toby. I wanna run and jump and scream at the to of my lungs without getting in trouble." i said looking up into his deep blue eyes. He looked realived and was smiling.
"Yes B! i wanna go there too! I wanna go for the same reasons except i also just wanna be by your side forever B." He said happily. I smiled, feeling as if the weight of the sky had been lifted off of my shoulders.
"We need to find a way to train." He said.
" Lets look for places later, when we get back home, ok?.. We should be getting back to the gardens now." i said lifting my headfrom his lap.
"Ok!... Race you there!" He said already running. Cheater! i thought as i ran to catch back up with him.
