Chapter 2
I now see why Tobias chose to take me here. It's safer than most of the Dauntless compound, and I see that he has calculated this to the last second. Most of the other buildings begin to collapse-the older and less liable ones. The one we stand on now is stable, and I'm surprised. I guess the Erudite helped design it to be more structurally sound. If I had stayed in that room, I would have been killed.
Pacing back and forth, Tobias clears his throat, startling me. "Get up, it's going to land now."

"What's going to land?" I ask, surprised. I look up into the sky and see a small helicopter, about twenty yards away. I back up next to Tobias and wait. The helicopter makes a strange, deafening noise as it comes nearer, and I cover my ears.

Tobias' nervous energy is gone now. I guess he has a plan for what's happening next. I stand far away as the helicopter makes a crisp, clean landing. A man sits in the front seat, a cocky grin situated on his face. As the back door opens and Tobias steps in, the man turns around with a maniac smirk on his face. "Ready to kick some butt?"

Tobias smiles slowly. "Hey, Barney. Long time no see." He gestures at me quickly. "This is Tris." I briefly wave before Tobias starts once again. "You know where to go, right?"

Barney scratches his beard. Despite his easy-going expression, it's easy to see his dark circles and his unshaven chin. I wonder how long he and Tobias have been planning this. "I've got an idea," he replies finally.

Tobias nods uncertainly and finally helps me up into the copter. I look out the window into the Dauntless compound. Who knows, it might be my last look. I look at Tobias to see if he's doing the same. But it looks like he looks resigned, detached, as if he had never been part of it at all.

Tobias is quiet for most of the ride, but he can tell I'm staring at him. He looks at me. "We call them gate-breakers," he says.

"What?"

"The outsiders."

I pause. "How long have you known?" The words sound demanding, almost fierce, which surprises me.

He doesn't answer. Instead he looks forward, where Barney is piloting.

"What about Christina? And Will? And the others?" I sound tired, and I realize I'm mad.

Tobias avoids my eyes, and speaks in his low, calm voice, which scares me. "If they were fast enough, they would have made it."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask, frustration taking over. Christina and Will could be dead by now. If he had told me, I could have saved them. He went through the trouble to find a safe, yet noticeable spot to land the helicopter, and he didn't bother to tell me anything.

I am about to scream out when he stops me."No time," he says. "There was no time."

Finally, the copter lands. It's a land of sameness- fields upon fields of golden hills. In another world, it might even be considered beautiful. But today, it is a warground.
Looking closer, I see tents surrounding the area. I know food and supplies lay there. Trees are scattered all over the fields, dotting them like sprinkles on a cake.
Barney lands the helicopter on an unpopulated patch of golden grass. When the blades stop turning frantically, my head begins to feel lighter without the sound. Tobias helps me out of the chopper with ease. I forget my irritation as I ask him, "Where are we?"
But before he can answer, several people come out of the large tents to investigate. They were probably disturbed by the loud helicopter. I glance at the tens of people, and my heart drops; there aren't many. Among them are few people from Amity, some from Candor, and several from Erudite. However, most come from Dauntless, which calms me a bit.
"Tobias, what-" I begin, but I am interrupted by a commotion in the crowd. I hear a loud shout.

"Move it or lose it, fellas." Two bodies push themselves out of the crowd and stand before Tobias and me. "Tris!" It's Christina and Will.

I blow a sigh in relief. "We're here, what's the news?" I take a moment to look over Christina, and then at Will. Both look battered and stretched beyond repair. Covered in bruises and cuts, the pair look considerably like they've been at war. My brief smile fades. "What happened?" Although Christina and Will look battered and worn, they just shrug.

"We had some trouble getting out of the Dauntless compound," Will explains. I look at them, uncertain.

"Relax, Tris," Christina laughs. "We're fine now."

"But why-" I begin, but I don't finish.

"Come on, Tris. Questions later. Let's get inside now." Christina begins to guide me to one of the tents.

But something snaps inside of me. I'm done with everyone being vague. Leaning close, I growl, "Tell me the truth. All of it."
