Avia's POV
We had just finished our first day of training and I was just hanging out with some of the other initiates; Hadley, Cassie, Emma and Joshua. I had been one of the best at knife throwing and Cassie had just been complimenting me on it when Hadley grabbed our arms and started dragging us somewhere.
"This is getting boring, let's get tattoos!" suggested Hadley, already dragging us in the direction of the Tattoo Parlour.
I wasn't too sure I actually wanted to get a tattoo, I mean I had just started wearing clothing that wasn't baggy less than a week ago! So, no way did I think that I could ink my skin permanently.
We entered the Tattoo Parlour and I was surprised to see Six there, working on a woman's tattoo. Hadley and Joshua walked around, looking at all the tattoos, gasping at the intricate designs, while Emma and Cassie just quietly admired them.
"Six?" I questioned, a bit perplexed, " I didn't know you worked here,"
"Yes, I work here between initiation training," She replied, looking up at me after
she had finished the woman's tattoo, "Would you like one?"
I nod my head wordlessly, a little too scared to speak and gesture to a design of a treble clef and a bass clef, interlaced so they resemble a heart.
"Where do you want it?"
"Um," I thought for a second, "On the inside of my right wrist,"
She nods and gets started. While she is doing my tattoo, I look around and see that Joshua and Hadley have decided to get tattoos, but Emma and Claire have left.
When Six has finished my tattoo, I thank her and she takes off my points. While Joshua and I are waiting for Hadley to finish up, I notice that Four has come into the Parlour, I wonder what tattoo he will get. I turn around and see that he was definitely not here to get a tattoo because he and Six are making out! I definitely did not expect that and neither did Hadley, I guess she had a crush on Four, because her mouth is opening and closing over and over again. I see Natalia and she looks absolutely furious and I swear, I can already see the gear in her head turning, no doubt forming a plan.
Natalia's POV
"Here's the plan, you are going to distract Six, by asking for help with your training, then you will lead Six back to Four's apartment and I will jump in, kiss Four and make sure he says that he loves me and not that bitch, Six," I explain the plan to Aaliyah as carefully as I can. She nodded in understanding, but opened her mouth to object, before she could, I stopped her. "You know in a split second I could expose your secret to all of the factions,"
Tris' POV
After I finish Avia's tattoo, I feel someone come up behind me and start lightly kissing my hair. Tobias. Smiling, I turn around in his arms and he kisses me again, this time on my lips.
"How is my beautiful fiancée?" He says to me, as I blush and look away from him,
"I'm not beautiful, so stop calling me that!" I reply, slapping his arm playfully.
Tobias tells me he has to go back to the Control Room, but he'll be back to meet me for dinner later. I kiss him goodbye and say goodbye to Tori too, since my shift is over. Since I have nothing to do for the rest of the day, I decide to go back to the Training Room to practice. When I get there, I notice that someone was in here and didn't put the equipment away. I don't think much of it as I out it away quickly. Soon after, one of my initiates, Aaliyah, comes up to me and asks for help with one of the fighting techniques they learned today.
Four's POV
I was just waiting for Tris to come back so we could head to dinner, when I heard a knock on the door.
"What do you want?" I scowled, coming face to face with the Erudite transfer.
"Oh nothing much, just this," she says attempting to be flirtatious and then launching herself onto me.
I try to push her off, but she keeps pushing herself onto my, her hands running up and down my chest, demanding for me to say that I love her and only her. Telling me that if I don't, she'll kill her. Shaking, I mutter the sentence, wanting her off me immediately. After I say it, I hear a gasp.
"W-what?" Tris says, looking close to tears as she just stares at me. As I look into her eyes, I can see all the things reflected there. Things, which I had just caused, by saying that one simple sentence. Betrayal and hurt are just two of the many things that are in her pale blue-grey eyes. The same eyes that just hours ago were looking at me with love are now filled with hate and disgust. She looks at me once last time before running away.
"Tris!" I call after her as she runs and I swear I can hear Natalia and Aaliyah giggle behind my back. I bet those two bitches caused this.
I find her in The Chasm, sitting in our spot, fingering the ring I gave her, as if deciding if she should throw it in. Her face is covered with tears and I am consumed with the guilt of doing this to her. She doesn't deserve this at all. Hesitantly, I approach her and she slowly turns to face me.
"How could you do that? Do you really not love me?" She whispers, almost unheard over the distinct roar of The Chasm all around us.
"Tris," I start, levelling my voice, trying to mask the emotion that is leaking through, " I had to say it, she said she would kill you if I didn't."
She looks at me, expression wavering as she tries to hold in tears. Looking anywhere but me, as if she is trying to decide if she should believe me, or just keep thinking that I am a lying scum. All I know is that I don't deserve her. I never have, and I never will. Not in a million lives and not in a million years.
