A/N hey so i re-uploaded the first chapter and added some more onto the end, i also tried to adjust some of the format problems i had with my last one. Thanks to everyone for the reviews so far. Does anyone want some stuff to be told through Four's POV. Anyway review and read. I had 57 views and only 5 reviews.:(
Looking around the room I understand what Marcus said about how people act when they learn this information. Dauntless, Candor, Erudite and factionless alike wander around aimlessly; even bumping into walls, chairs, desks, anything that does not demand their attention. A few people, Uriah, Zeke, Shauna, Christina, Lauren, Tori, Harrison, Tobias and myself take this as our cue to leave, seeing as Evelyn no longer has anyone to enforce her demands that all of the factions disband.
As we begin our exodus several other Dauntless join us, as well as Candor and Erudite families with Dauntless members. There is a train stopped about 50 ft from the Erudite Headquarters; I shudder to think that the last time it was used was by the simulation controlled Candor. Once our group,which has grown to about 90, has boarded, Tobias and I head up to the caboose.
"Do you know how to drive a train?" I question. "Well its' not really driving because there are tracks but yes I can operate a train" he explains giving me a coy little smile. "Drives trains, excellent aim with knives and guns, consistently saves the day, computer genius, four fears…am I missing anything?" I smile. "You left out completely and utterly in love with you."
He sighs as he slowly reaches down with one hand to cup my face, his long fingers securing themselves behind my ear, the other hand landing on the small of my back, gently bringing us together; creating one being. With even more care he places his lips on mine with just a trace of hesitation and I remember what it feels like to be loved and to be held and how safe and secure I am inside of his arms. As he pulls I away I whisper "Tobias", and I'm a little surprised with how strained my voice sounds. Understanding what I need, he allows himself to be pulled down to my level where our lips crash into one another with absolutely no hesitation. He adjusts his grip to prop me up on the control panel of the train, just as he sets me down the lights on the train suddenly go out causing a cry to ring out from the cars behind us, sighing he gently sets me on the ground and begins to prepare the train for movement.
We stop outside the front entrance to the Dauntless compound as we have many people on board who would probably not be comfortable with jumping off a train onto a roof seven stories up. Once inside the compound people visibly relax, the Dauntless run around causing havoc, the Candor loudly speak the truth about their first impressions, the Erudite looking around the Pit with a critical eye noting where improvements could be made, and most surprisingly a few Abnegation talking to Lauren about how they can help. I look to my right to Tobias who, since we left the Erudite compound has yet to let me go. This makes it hard to keep a smile off of my face.
"Four" I say carefully knowing that most of the people around us do not know he is Marcus' son, "as a Dauntless leader I think you need to go and organize everyone", I tilt my head towards the small gathering of leaders over his shoulder. "Tris, I'm sure I can't do this without your assistance" he says with a smirk. Leaning against him I stretch up on my tiptoes and lightly touch my lips to his, "I am positively sure that you will need my assistance" I grin. So we make our way to Tori, Harrison, Johanna, Jack Kang and Lauren who strangely seems to be in charge of the impromptu meeting. "Erudite can take the initiate dorms in the east wing and Candor in the west" she states, contemplating some blueprints. "There are vacant apartments that were meant for members that are still available, how about we put Abnegation there?" Tobias asks. Once again turning to her blueprints Lauren confirms that there is room and suggests Tobias and I escort them up there.
As we approach the Abnegation a few of them exchange worried glances and under his breath Tobias whispers "here come the big scary Dauntless, woooooo". Remembering how the Dauntless first looked to me, so foreign and a little intimidating, I lower my head and slump my shoulders, adopting a very "stiff" posture before speaking. "If I could have everyone's attention", I begin "Four and I would like to escort you too your sleeping quarters." I hear mumbles of agreement and we begin our way towards the apartments. I notice some friends among the group and even though I try to catch their attention, they pretend not to notice. Close to the end of the group I am housing Susan with some other orphaned girls, when she finally looks at the other girls we both used to associate with and passively says "You should be ashamed of yourself, look how selfish you are being", and proceeds to hug me gingerly as it is still a new sensation to her. I whisper my thanks and she and the other girls amble into their quarters.
Throughout this entire trip Tobias has been completely silent and I turn to him now only to see the expression he has when he thinks of home. Slowly guiding him to his apartment, I open the door and push him inside. "You're killing me, what are you thinking about?" I say a little more forcibly than I meant too. "Home" his voice is husky with the memories, I know that if he wanted to say more he would so I grab one of his t-shirts and head into the bathroom to change. When I come out I see him already on the bed in a pair of shorts and nothing else, as it always has and always will, the sight of him sends my heart on a marathon. Hoping it doesn't show I hop into bed and his warm arms encircle me, drawing me closer, and fitting us together like two puzzle pieces. I shift my head so I'm looking into his eyes, but I feel like I can see so much more. "Tris… I…"
