Chapter 3 Tris POV
Once I got back on my feet I walked back to my apartment. I started packing things and I thought about where I could go. You see after the war the fence was open to the public and people were allowed to go out. We even found a whole another community out there. I packed my bags and out the door I went. I didn't bring much since the goddesses promised to supply me with weapons and other necessary materials. So pretty much I just brought all the money I had on me and my credit cards and some makeup. Then I stepped out of my apartment and just as I was about to lock it I stared at it thinking about what I was going to do. I looked at all my furniture it made me think of all the memories I had made here then I thought of…Tobias. I started to get angry all over again I slammed the door and marched down to the Chicago City Administration Department and gave them my key and told them I was leaving this city. Tobias got a promotion you see and now the control room monitors the whole city and this is where he worked. With just my luck the man at the desk was Tobias. I gasped then I stormed out of the building.
"Hey! Wait! Tris! I can explain please! Where are you going?!" Tobias yelled he started to race behind me. I broke into a sprint sprinting here and there weaving in between people. Once I was sure I had lost him I went to the entrance of the fence. Not the main exit the one nobody knows about the part only I knew about since this entrance was secluded there were overgrown trees and bushes everywhere. I marched right through it.
Tobias POV
I was so mad at myself. I. LOST. TRIS. I felt like such a douche bag and I guess I deserved it but… but what I don't have an excuse. I thought to myself are you really going to let her go so easily? No. I followed her. She didn't seem to notice me so I just kept on walking I realized she was leaving not only leaving the Dauntless compound she was leaving the entire city of Chicago.
Tris POV
I walked around for awhile not exactly knowing where to go but I had a gut instinct so I just followed that. Then I walked up to a boardwalk like thing it lead to a beautiful crystal blue river. I knelt down to get some water and I cleaned myself off. I knew I had to cross the river I just didn't know how I called the goddesses for help then I noticed something on my wrist glowing. I bracelet. Then the goddesses seemed to fly out from the moonstone on it.
"I see you've made it this far congratulations not many maidens can make it this far before giving up and running back to their oh so sweet disgusting youths," Artemis preached. It made me feel nice.
"Thank you, I understand I need to cross this river how do I do that?" I asked the three.
"Have you even attempted to get across you know you have so many unimaginable powers now" Athena smirked wisely.
That didn't make me feel so great Aphrodite just seemed to be daydreaming. I had a feeling she just wasn't as into this quest for me as the others that was fine I didn't have much respect for her anyways.
Once I finished my train of thought I noticed they were gone. I felt like someone was following me I looked around I didn't notice anybody so I thought about this to get across the river I either needed to swim or fly across. I imagined becoming a water maiden and I felt the silky water on my skin then I jumped off the boardwalk and I floated across. It felt absolutely amazing. I noticed I had magically changed into a beautiful blue silk dress there was a headband on my head hippie style. Nice and I had beautiful white leather boots.
"TRIS! WAIT WHAT ARE YOU DOING DON'T LEAVE ME!" I turn around I knew Tobias was following me. Then all the fury comes rushing in me again I notice the water starts to swirl then I raise my arm and a huge tentacle made out of water comes and throws him out of the way. Satisfied as I am I turn around and continue across the river.
