''Come on Tris'', says Uriah.
''One second'', I answer. I stuff the last of my clothes in my bag and swing it over my shoulder, taking one last look at the dorm that I lived in for my initiation. For a second I remember Edward, screaming on the floor just a few feet away from where I am now standing, and I realize I am glad to be getting my own appartement, safe from my enemies, and empty of memories.
''We're going to be late'', he says.
''I'm coming'', I answer, and step out into the hallway. We walk in silence to the pit, the spaces beside us a reminder of the friends we lost. My mind flashes back to the day Jeanine was killed.
In keeping with their usual demeanour, the Dauntless started to shout. The Erudite and the Factionless stayed silent, confusion and disbelief on most of their faces.
''Everyone needs to calm down'', said Evelyn, ''this doesn't change anything.''
''This doesn't change anything?'' answered Tori, ''We just found out that there is some other city out there and this doesn't change anything?''
''You were going to erase it,'' said Tobias, ''you were going to erase it and pretend it never existed.''
''I had no idea that it contained vital information such as this'', responded Evelyn. Suddenly Tobias launched himself at his mother and grabbed her gun.
''What do you think you're doing?'' She asked, trying to grab it back. Tobias held it above her head, knowing the factionless wouldn't shoot him while he held a gun.
''We need to restore order'', he answered, '' and that won't happen if the factionless are in charge. I propose that we go back to our factions, just for now. We can discuss the video later.'' Evelyn scowled.
''If we aren't in charge then who will be, you?''
''I think each faction should vote on their leader, and that leader will represent the faction in a council'', said Tobias. Shouts erupted around him, except this time they were shouts of agreement. I could see the Erudite and even the factionless nodding their heads, and I could tell that it was a new beginning for all of us.
''Where's Four?'' asks Uriah, interrupting my thoughts. Things between us were kind of awkward, especially when it came to talking about Tobias.
''He had to sort out some stuff in the control room'', I answer. A couple minutes later we reach the pit, where the rest of the new Dauntless members are. I spot Christina and walk over to her.
''Hey'', she says.
''Hey'', I answer.
We talk for a few more minute about how we will decorate our apartments when we get them before I hear a familiar voice behind me.
''Can I borrow Tris for a minute?'' I turn around and smiles when I see Tobias.
''Sure'', answers Uriah. Christina wiggles her eyebrows suggestively and I laugh and say goodbye. We walk in to the hallway and lean against the wall.
''I heard you're signing up to be an initiate trainer'', he says. I nod.
''Well then I guess that's what I'll be doing too'', he answers. I smile. The sign up was going to be tomorrow, we would be getting our apartments after the vote today.
''How are you doing Tris?'' he asks, suddenly serious. It isn't a strange question considering the circumstances but it takes me by surprise just the same.
''I'm fine'', I say, but I'm not fine. Everything here reminds me of everything that happened. Reminds me of Al, of Will, and of Lynn and Marlene. Reminds me of my mum and my dad. I can't tell Tobias that. Although both of his parents are alive, they are both, well, not great people, so bringing up mine would be selfish. But Tobias knows me too well to believe me.
''Don't lie to me Tris'', he says.
''I'm not lying, I'm fine'', I answer. He looks at me.
''If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to'', he answers. I stand on my tiptoes and my lips meet his.
''Thanks'', I say. He smiles and kisses me. He wraps his arms around my waist and the kiss deepens.
''Um guys, it's time.'' We break apart and I see Uriah, standing in front of us, a strange look on his face. I smooth my hair, embarrassed.
''We're coming'', responds Tobias. He grabs my hand and we walk out of the hallway behind Uriah. I am still a bit flustered, and I remember the look on Uriah's face. He looked, hurt, well not hurt exactly, more like, jealous. But why would he be jealous? He was with Marlene. I push away my thoughts and walk into the pit with Tobias. We go over to one side with everyone else and Tori clears her throat to get everyone's attention.
''Today is an important day'', she says, ''today we will be voting on our leader. The new leader will be a part of the new city council. They will represent our faction`s needs and well-being, so choose wisely.''
Tori starts handing out little slips of paper and pencils. I don't have to hesitate; I know who I want our new leader to be. I write down the name clearly, and fold the paper in half. I drop it in the box that Tori is passing around and go back to stand next to Tobias.
''Who did you vote for?'' he asks. I smile at his curiosity.
''You will just have to wait and see'', I respond. He wraps his arm around my waist and I lean my head on his shoulder.
Ten minutes later, Tori stands up at the front of the room and we all draw silent.
''The vote was almost unanimous'', says Tori, ''our new leader is…Four.''
