Hey Guys! I'm exited to start this new fanfic! FourTris is coming around the corner;).
Tris: 6 years old
We hop around the cracks in the sidewalk, playing a game we made up the other day. Caleb is winning, Susan and I are tied, and Robert's losing, but he's not really trying. Our neighbor, his name is Tobias, walks on the other side of the street, his head down. Tobias is Marcus's 8 year old, and only son. Marcus is the leader of abnegation, the faction we live in. A few years ago, Marcus wife died. I don't really know much about it, except that Tobias's mother, Evelyn, was going to have a baby, but while the baby was being born, she died. My mother didn't tell me much, only what I needed to know.
"Aghhaha" I hear Susan giggle as she falls into me.
Where all laughing as we turn down our street, and Caleb picks me up and throws me over his shoulder. Everyone thinks that my brother Caleb and I are twins, but we're not. He was born just eight months before I was, so we're are in the same grade, and we will choose our factions the same year.
"Eeekk!" I sqeal.
Then the gunshots. And the screams. My mother appears out of nowhere, and is yelling at us, pulling all of us towards the house. I see Tobias running across the road to us. My mother pushes the five of us inside, leading us upstairs. She stops at the top of the stairs, and pulls open the coat closet door. She pulls us inside.
"Mother, what's happening?" I ask worriedly
"There's no time to explain, just don't worry, and be quiet." She says calmly
But then, something interesting happens. Mother pulls a price of the wall inside the closet away. Well, I guess it's not an actual piece of the wall. It looks like wallpaper almost, but it's the same color as the wall, slate gray, and it fits over an actual hole in the wall.
"Quickly. They will be here soon. Get in and be silent. Everything will fine. I love all of you." she kisses Caleb and I on the forehead, and hugs us.
I look into the hole as Susan and Robert step in. Soon I see that it's actually a little tiny room, like a crawl space. Soon enough, I'm being pushed in with Caleb. As soon as I'm in the little room, I notice there are not any lights, or windows. We are all in, except for Tobias. He stands outside of the hole, staring at us, like he's frozen.
"Tobias honey, you have to go." My mother says, and he steps in.
Once all of us are cramped inside this tiny room, my mother whispers "I love you.", and she lower the paper over the hole. It's pitch black, and I all of us are silent as my mother shuts the door with a faint "click.". I listen closely to the sound of my mother running down the stairs. "Thump, thump, thump.". As the gunshots continue, Susan starts to cry silently. I just sit, with Caleb hugging me. I figure out that this room sat right behind the wall my bed rested on. The shots and shouts get louder, and then, a huge bang. I hear the deep voices of men, the shouts of my parents, and then two bangs from guns. I would have screamed if Tobias hadn't had out his hand over my mouth.
"It's going to be okay." Caleb whispers. I can hear the pain in his voice.
The shouts continue for another minute, and then they're gone. I can still hear all the screams, from abnegation members. Why are they killing them? What did abnegation do to deserve all this? Will they come back later to find us and kill us too? The only one of us that isn't crying right now is Tobias. He just sits, hunched up in a ball, starring at Caleb and I. I sit back into Caleb and hold his hand for who knows how long.
It must be hours later, when the guns stop, and I hear nothing. We stay still for another hour until Tobias states that he was going to go look out the window, to see what's outside. I follow him out. When I step out into the light of the hallway, I follow Tobias to the window sill. We look out, and I gasp, and then start to cry. Both Marcus and Susan's dad are lying out in the street. They're dead. And so are another couple hundred abnegation. I am surprised that Tobias shows no emotion, he only looks at me. But then, as I turn away, I Marcus move, only just a little bit. He's not actually dead! I run down the stairs, and I'm almost out the door when Tobias grabs my arm and pulls me back.
"What are you doing?! Are you crazy!?" He exclaims
"But, your dad! Marcus is alive! I saw him move out there! We have to go help him, if we don't, he might actually die!"
"He'll be okay. Someone else will help him. We have to stay in here until we know it's safe to go out there." He responds
"But.." Im interrupted when the door opens, and a tall, muscular Dauntless woman walks into the room. I'm so shocked, I fall back onto the floor.
"Oh thank god! Your alive!" she says to me
"Who are you?" Tobias asks
"Might I ask the same? You sure don't look like Caleb." She states "Wait, he's alive, right?"
"Yeah.. Who are you? And why are you here? Why do you care about Caleb and I? I squeak.
Just then, I hear Caleb, Susan, and Robert run down the stairs, and when Caleb sees the Dauntless lady, he squeaks, "Please don't hurt us!"
"Oh, there he is! Now, just let me tell you guys everything." she says
