Hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving! I do not own Divergent, enjoy the story!

~David's POV~

~The next day~

"Okay so with what we know, we need to make two groups to save Maria." James says. We were all in a conference room, James had a projector showing a map of the area of where the Factionless stay. He drew two circles, one of which was near where him, Dia, and I were at, and another one almost exact opposite side. "The ones who'll go in to save Maria will be a small group, only about three people, they'll go in and get her while the rest of us will be distracting most of them. Once the rescue group gets Maria, they'll go here." James circles the area where the train tracks were. "That's when they'll shoot the flare. The team must shoot the flare when they get to the tracks, because everyone will see it but it'll take time for Factionless to get to the rescue group and by then the group will be on a train back to Dauntless. We'll start the ambush tomorrow." he finishes, most of us nodded. The door opens and we turn to see a Factionless boy with blonde hair and gray eyes, and behind him was two Dauntless members.

"This kid says he has valuable information about the Factionless and Maria." one of them says, James just nods, the two Dauntless members leave. The Factionless kid walks in the room, he didn't seem much older then sixteen. "Don't worry I'm not here to trick you. I'm here to tell you that the leader plans on executing Maria. Tonight." he says, we all looked at him wide eyed. "Wait how can we trust you?" Dia asked, the kid just stands there not looking fazed.

"You can put me under the truth serum, and I will still tell you what I just said."

"Okay so if you're telling us the truth. Then where exactly will the execution take place?"

"In the center of the compound. Where everyone is able to go and see."

James looks at the kid for a moment, the kid stood there with confidence in his eyes. "What time?" James asked and the kid looked shocked.

"E- eight."

"And what's your name kid?"

"Tony."

James just nods at the kid, he motions Tony to sit at the empty chair next to him, Tony walks over and sits down. "Okay so we have to do another strategy." James says, one of the Dauntless members stands up and slams his hands on the table. "You're believing this kid? He's one of them!"

"Do not forget that I'm from Candor. I may not speak my mind freely as I used to when I first joined, but I can always tell when someone is lying."

The Dauntless member just sat down in his chair. "Now. I have a question to ask. Who can work well with a sniper rifle?" James asked, Dia raised her hand. James erases the marks on the map and makes three different circles. "This is what we're going to do. Dia since you can work with a sniper, you're going to be here" James points to the circle near the center of the map. "You'll shoot anyone trying to get to the rescue group and Maria. This group right here." James points to a circle on the west side of the map. "is going to be setting up the fire." James says, we all looked at him confused. "What fire?" Vincent asked. "This fire is near where I believe is the food supply." James says, Tony looks at him wide eyed, then a smile broke out on his face.

"That'll actually work, we factionless care about food more then the life of our mothers." he says, James then went on to explaining the rest of the plan.

We were all getting suited up for the attack in the training room, James went to tell the Dauntless leaders what we're doing and I guess to tell them that they might need to go find another leader because we might die. Dia was holding the sniper, she was holding it up weighing it, and shot at some of the dummies, most of the time she shot at the head. This time she shot at the down area, a satisfied grin showed on her face while most of us cringed at it. "That's going to the guy that we saw hitting her." she says, I couldn't help but laugh at seeing the sight of the guy loosing his pair. I realized it seemed wrong but hey, he deserves it.

James walks in the room, he had a serious look on his face, the one saying 'You mess up this mission and we're all gonna die'. "Okay I told the leaders what we're doing. They think we're crazy and said and quote 'We're going to go charging in like suicidal maniacs shooting at every direction' and we might be but hey, we might as well go down fighting." James says and we all nodded. We all get set up and leave to the train tracks. I checked my watch to see it was 6:42 pm.

We get to the Factionless compound and everyone gets to where they need to go, Tony was able to sneak in and grab some Factionless clothes for me, Danny, and Clare. We put the clothes on and hid our weapons, put dirt and stuff on us to blend us in, and we walked into the crowd. I never realized how disgusting their smells were, I mean they smell like if a dead fish was rubbed with dog crap. The Factionless leader, or who I guessed was the leader, walks on stage, he had a grin on his face. "My fellow Factionless, tonight we shall get our revenge on the girl that ruined the chance of the Factionless being taken down. Bring Maria here now." he says, he had excitement in his voice. We all turned to see two large Factionless members dragging Maria in a large hoodie, she walked with them a bit but they mostly dragged her. The leader walks over to Maria and yanks the hood off, and I had to resist the urge to run up there and kill him.

Maria's face was covered with blood and bruises, she had a black eye but yet she still looked calm. The look in her eyes still showed strength, yet for some reason I couldn't help but sense she feels sad. "Maria do you have something to say before you die?" the man says, she had a small smirk form on her face and she scans the crowd, I think she saw me because her eyes widened.

~Maria's POV~

"Maria do you have something to say before you die?" Mark asked, I did want to say something. I scanned the crowd of Factionless, all having the look on their faces. I kept scanning them until my eyes landed on David, next to him was Clare and Danny. 'What the hell are they doing here?!' I thought to myself, I took a deep breathe.

"Yeah, you Factionless are a bunch of idiots. You think just because you killed me, you'll win. But really I'll tell ya something. While you guys sit here enjoying my death, the factions are gonna go and kick your asses. I bet even Amity wants to beat you guys up." I said and I felt a sharp pain in my knee, I heard a cracking noise and I fell to the ground, clutching it.

"That's enough. Now Maria." Mark says, he pulls out a gun and walks behind me, I feel the gun at the back of my head and I look over at where David and the others were at, I smiled weakly. A gun shot is heard but I didn't feel anything, I looked around to see Mark screaming holding his wrist, which had blood pouring out of it. An explosion is heard and we all turned our attention to where it came from, a fire was growing on a building.

"Our food!" someone shrieks and people started running. I was starting to run when I got hit at the back and fell to the ground.

"You little bitch!" Mark says bitterly, while he wasn't able to use the hand he was holding before, he was holding the gun with his other hand, it was aimed right at me. That's when Clare tackles Mark to the ground, David and Danny get here and David picks me up bridal style.

"Where's the others?" I asked, knowing these guys I know they wouldn't just have three of them here. David just motions to the top of a building and I look over to see Dia at the top with a sniper, shooting away.

"Okay I'll need you guys to back me up." David says, Danny and Clare nodded and we ran, well they did since I'm being carried. We started running when a few factionless showed up and started shooting at us.

"Give me a gun." I said.

"You sure?"

"I'm sure as hell."

David hands me a gun and I started shooting, one of them falls but the other two dove for cover. We kept running and when we got to the hill, David got hit by a bullet in the shoulder, he drops me but I was able to stop myself from rolling downhill. "Son of a bitch!" he says, holding his shoulder. I tried getting up but my leg still wouldn't keep me supported. Clare puts one of my arms around her to help me up, Danny helping David up to his feet. "Come on!" David said and we kept on going. We kept on running and just when we can see the train tracks, a group of factionless surrounded us, their guns aimed at us.

"Put your guns down!" one of them yells, we all looked around, hoping to find an escape route, there were none. "I SAID PUT THE GUNS DOWN NOW!" the same factionless yells. We all looked at one another and slowly put our guns down, we knew we were out numbered and there was no cover we could use or reach. We put our hands up, and we were swarmed. The next thing I knew, I was whacked on the back of the head and darkness swarmed in my sight.

So I like to say sorry for the late update but I had finals and had writers block. Anyways I hope you guys liked the chapter and don't forget to leave a review and until next time, be brave. Also happy holidays!
