So I am taking the advice on being more descriptive and original for chapter 2. I hope you all like it! (:

Chapter 2

I don't know how long we have been walking but it must have been awhile. Our small little pack is struggling. The exhaustion as well as the emotion from the day has finally begun to set in. In the distance, we finally began to see little bits of light coming from what must be the Amity headquarters. As we grow closer I can make out the cluster of buildings all surrounded by trees in every direction. Everything in made out of wood and glass, classic Amity.

We walk through one of the many orchards to get to the buildings. The scent of apples and dirt overwhelms me as we walk under the canopy of branches. The bright white moon peaks through the trees providing the small amount of light in the dark tunnel of trees.

As we approach the many buildings Marcus walks right past me and says "I know where to go."

Oh sure you do. Marcus loves to have the power. It is what he craves. He always needs to be in control. I resist the urge to argue with him though because to be honest I may just end up leading us into the bathroom. There are too many buildings for me to even try to guess which one could be of any help to us.

We walk past the first building and right us to the second one on the left. I hear a faint laughing coming from inside. With all the events from the past day, the sound of happiness is startling.

Marcus walks up to one of the doors and pulls it open. Ha, no lock. I didn't even think about how simple it would be to get into Amity. It still surprises me though at the lack of security. There has to be someone out of the many members of Amity that is not as trustworthy as the rest.

Inside sits Amity's representative, Johanna Reyes. I would recognize her anywhere because of the long scar that stretches down the length of her face. I have always wondered how she got that scar. Especially being the representative of Amity. What terrible thing could have happened to her in a faction that only focuses on peace?

"Oh, thank God," she says right when she sees Marcus. It makes me cringe. I hate it how nobody knows who he really is, and what he really does. Johanna walks right up to him with her arms stretched open for an embrace. But then instead, she just lightly touches his shoulders. She must remember that something like hugging someone is far from anything an Abnegation member would ever do.

"The other members of your party got here a few hours ago, but they weren't sure if you had made it," Johanna says. What party? I am guessing it is some Abnegation who managed to escape but I can't be sure. I look down at Tris from the corner of my eye. From the look on her face this fact is no surprise to her. I guess I really did miss a lot while I was under the simulation… Huh.

As I am pondering what Johanna just said, she looks behind Marcus and her eyes immediately settle on me, and then slowly move to Caleb, then Tris, and finally rest on Peter and the blood still flowing from his arm.

"Oh my," she says; obviously shocked by the injury. Is she really that oblivious to the war going on right inside the fence? "I'll send for a doctor. I can grant you all permission to stay the night, but tomorrow, out community must decide together. And…" she pauses, her eyes settling right on Tris and me, "they will likely not be enthusiastic about a Dauntless presence in our compound. I of course ask you to turn over any weapons you might have."

I reach into the gun holster hooked on my waist and hesitantly hand over my gun. Like any Dauntless member, I hate the feeling of being defenseless. I look over at Tris and see her reaching behind her back to grab what must be a gun hidden under the large Abnegation shirt. Before she can remove it, I reach back and grab her hand right as her fingers reach down to grab the gun. To cover up what I just did I lace my fingers with her and pull her hand down in between us, hoping she doesn't question my move.

"My name is Johanna Reyes," she says to all of us. She extends her hand to Tris and then to me. I remember when the simple handshake seemed so foreign to me before I came to Dauntless. Now it just becomes naturally. But I can tell Tris is still uncomfortable with the different form of greeting.

"This is T—"Marcus begins.

Not a chance. I refuse to be associated with that monster.

I interrupt him before he can continue. "My name is Four." I say, "This is Tris, Caleb, and Peter."

"Welcome to the Amity compound." Johanna says, smiling at us. "Let us take care of you."

Something about her statement just gives me the urge to grab Tris make a run for it right now and never come back. I don't know what it is about this place but being under the care or the Amity doesn't seem to be as safe as it seems…

Okay guys, sorry this chapter is kinda short, but I just have tons of homework and this seemed like a pretty good place to end the chapter! Just like I said before, I would really love any constructive criticism! I tried to take some of your reviews into consideration so I hope I satisfied all of you! (:
