Chapter 2-The Visitor

Tobias pov

For the second time tonight, I wake to the feeling of Tris no longer in my arms. My breathing quickly changes to frantic and panicked while questions flood my mind. Did she lie to me again and leave? Did she leave me? These thoughts are suddenly interrupted by a slight stirring against my back. Turning to my other side, I realize that I must have simply flipped over in my sleep because Tris is still here beside me.

"Thank God." I whisper along with a very shaky breath I didn't realize I was holding in.

Laying back down beside her, I re-loop my arms around her slender waist. This small motion is enough to-much to my dismay- wake her up.

"What time is it?" she mumbles, her voice thick from sleep.

I peak over her shoulders at the clock behind her. "Quarter to six, please just go back to sleep." I plead.

"Can I have some breakfast?" she asks through a yawn, ignoring my request.

"Of course." I say, getting up from the bed. Then I remember the events from the middle of the night, "Just don't leave, alright?" I quietly ask her.

Any remaining fatigue is instantly gone as soon as I make that simple request that now holds a deep and painful meaning. Tris gets up to kneel in front of me on the bed. I can see the tears start to form in the corners of her eyes along with the bottomless regret that also fills them.

"I really am sorry." she whispers, bowing her head in shame. Several tears leak down her cheeks before falling to the quilt beneath her.

I wrap my arms around her small frame that she's now tucked herself into. "Tris." I say to her hair. "Hey, look at me." she doesn't comply. Reaching underneath her chin, I lift her head for her to meet my gaze. "We'll talk about this later alright?"

Tris nods slightly as a few more tears roll down her cheeks which I swiftly kiss away.

"I'll be back soon" I say, giving her a quick peck and leaving my apartment.

The dark halls are eerily silent. With the events of last night though, along with the fact that it's not yet six o'clock, I can't say I'm surprised. During the short trip there, I can't help but jog most of the way because all I want is to get back to Tris as fast as possible. I stop dead in my tracks though, when the doors to the cafeteria swing open and I'm met with a figure dressed completely in blue. There is an Erudite in the compound. They killed Marlene last night. They killed hundreds of Abnegation. They almost killed me. They almost killed Tris.

Rage runs through my veins just at the sight of them. With their back still turned, I lunge at them, tackling them to the ground.

"How did you get in?!" I growl at the intruder. They cower beneath me, shielding their face.

"Please don't kill me." they plead. Wait, I think to myself, I know that voice.

"Caleb?" I ask, still pinning them to the ground.

He lowers his hands from his face to peek up at me. "Four?" he asks.

I immediately roll off of him and sit back on my heels. While he catches his breath-probably from the heart attack I just gave him- I just sit and stare.

"Why are you here?" I ask.

"Why did you tackle me?!" he counters.

"Erudite attacked last night. They killed a close friend of Tris and I and almost killed two little kids, sorry if we didn't welcome you with open arms." I say sarcastically. "At least I was the one that found you and not someone else. If no one knew who you were; you'd be dead right now." I tell him.

"Well thank you Four, now I feel much better about getting tackled by my sister's psycho boyfriend. And for your information, I came here to help your faction." he says with the typical Erudite arrogance. "So where is Tris?" he asks.

"Back at my apartment, I was just getting us breakfast." I tell him with a masive smirk.

"She didn't stay the night did she?" he asks, giving me a death glare.

"She did actually. You don't have a problem with that do you?" I ask him even though I know he has a huge problem with his sister and I sharing a bed.

He presses his lips together so hard that they turn white and takes a deep breath before he speaks, "Not at all." he says.

Well that was disappointing, I think to myself. Caleb and I get off the floor and I grab Tris and I a muffin each. Leading the way back to my apartment, I keep thinking back to his reaction. Back in Amity, he looked like he was going to tear my head off at just the thought of me kissing his sister. Now though, after learning that she spent the night with me-in bed- he just seems mildly annoyed and trying very hard to supress it. He was more than vocal with the fact he didn't like me back in Amity, and now he's being civil. What is wrong with him?

We're about half way back to my apartment when Caleb breaks the tense silence. "While I was with the Factionless and Abnegation, I got some information about Erudite. Do you think you could ask the leaders to call a meeting so I could tell them what's planned?" he asks.

"Actually Caleb, I'm now a leader so I have the power to call one myself. We're going to pass the apartment of another leader so I can talk to her about having one." I tell him.

"I'm impressed." he says with the same arrogance; like I didn't just have him pinned to the ground pleading for his life a few minutes ago.

A few minutes later I'm knocking on Tori's door. After a moment or two, she finally opens up. She spots Caleb beside me and before I have a chance to say anything, she punches him square in the jaw. Before she jumps on him, I take hold of her shoulders and hold her back. Caleb just backs up into the wall, trying to put as much distance between him and Tori as possible.

"He came here from the Factionless sector. He's with us." I tell her which calms her down considerably.

Letting go of Tori, she walks up to Caleb-who looks like he could wet himself at any moment- and extends a hand to him. He carefully takes it and shakes it twice. "Hello, I'm Tori." she says, ignoring the fact that she just punched him.

"I'm Caleb; Beatrice's brother." he introduces himself.

"What did you want Four?" she asks, turning to me.

"Can we call a meeting in an hour or so? Caleb got some information about Erudite while he was with the Factionless." I tell her.

"Alright, I'll tell Harrison to meet us in an hour. By the way, how's Tris holding up?" she asks.

I glance at Caleb who also looks interested in my answer. "She tried to leave last night." I tell them, looking down to my shoes.

Tori lets out a gasp. "I thought you told her we were going to try and fix the security here before we did anything."

"I did, I woke up last night as she was trying to leave. I convinced her to stay, but I don't know how much longer she'll stick around. Can we see if we can find her a job in the Pit or something? You know, so she can build a bit of a life here so she's more likely to stay?" I ask.

"I'll see what I can do. For now though, I think you should probably keep an eye on her. I'll see you guys in an hour at the meeting. Nice to meet you, Caleb." she says before turning and heading back into her apartment.

Tris pov

After Tobias left, I tried to go back to sleep, but his word just kept playing over and over in my mind. 'Just don't leave'. The words keep echoing in my mind the whole time he's gone. When he finally returns, I can hear his voice from the other side of the door along with another. "Tris?" he calls out as he unlocks the door. "You have a visitor!"

A/N: The end of this chapter is just so terrible but I just didn't know how to end it. I will hopefully have the next chapter of Zeke pov up in a week. As for Romeo and Juliet, I tried writing it and it was a miserable failure. I'm going to try to write it again so don't expect anything too soon for that. In the meantime, I had really liked my other ideas for fanfics so there might be some one shots or something, but I'm not making any promises. Please review and thank you to those who did.
