Chapter One
Placing my head in my hands, tears threaten to fall. Where is Four? Abnegation are dieing and every minute another Dauntless becomes a murderer. The only Divergent's here are me and Uriah, I don't know how the others aren't under simulation.
"We have to go back. Will is back there, I can't leave him behind, I just can't..." Christina pleads.
"Wow, I'd think you were Divergent if it wasn't for your fear landscape." Uriah jokes.
"We should split up, half of us go to Abnegation, the other half to Dauntless." I suggested.
Uriah decides on the groups to go to the different factions, the weaker ones go to Dauntless and the stronger ones go to Abnegation. The stronger ones are expected to be in the centre of the fighting and group two (the weaker ones) have to go to Dauntless unexpectedly and take down the simulation at it's core.
"Oh so I'm guessing I'm one of the tough ones." Peter exaggerated, flexing his arm.
"Al, Christina and Caleb you guys are headed to Dauntless. Me, Tris, Peter and Zeke are the brute force. We are headed to Abnegation." Uriah uses his leadership skills to charm everyone into doing what he claims to be the best option.
"Beatrice," Caleb calls.
"I'm sorry, I should have believed you I don't know why Erudite are doing this." Caleb went on.
I don't say anything, just embrace him in a tight hug which brought tears to my eyes.
"Be brave." He finishes and pulls away from me.
I say my goodbyes to everyone as we are about ready to leave the train.
Al pulls me towards him, circling his arms around me and burying his head in my hair. "Tris." He whispers.
"Everyone gather up, it's time to leave." Uriah commands.
Al and I stay like that for a while. We haven't had a normal conversation since he tried to kill me. That's ok though, we already know what the other person wants to say. I caught him the day he tried to kill himself, I refused to let him die. I helped him through Dauntless, taught him how to fight and to act in the midst of fear. We done all of that without communicating. It was my fault he almost died, I had to fix it. Four was not happy about it. Al squeezes my hand, I think he likes me too much.
"Tris," His tone marvels.
Al has moved his head from my shoulder to look at me. Raising my head, I meet his gaze.
"This is hard to say but I..." He is interrupted by Uriah's yell and him jumping out the train.
"I have to go, I'll... miss you. I'm sorry" I rush, pulling away from him and leaving his ocean warm gaze to dark waters.
Uriah, Zeke, Peter and I jump from the train.
We get a vantage point from the forest and find inside Abnegation it's a bloodbath, well about to be. It's a lose-lose situation. I'm not afraid of course, we must go inside to find Four, Will and my family. If they are still alive.
"Any idea where your family will be?" Zeke questions, looking through the scope on his gun.
"My house, come on." Disclosing them from saying any more, we walk through the dark alleyways in Abnegation headquarters.
Dauntless crowd the streets and it's hard to go anywhere unnoticed. Shots echo from behind us and we duck into a part of an encaved building. "You guys stay here, I'll get them from the back." Peter concluded and rushed out the back of the building before we could say a word.
"Peter!" Zeke shouts scoldingly but if Peter hears us he doesn't come back.
Focusing down my scope, I headshot a few dauntless. Peter takes them down unexpectedly from the back, followed by another figure.
"Mum!" I shout.
Once all the under-sim dauntless are down, I rush towards her.
"Mom." I speak into her hair, thrilled to see her.
"Come on we have to go, the others are waiting. Follow me." My mum explains hurriedly, already jogging down the alleyway.
