A/N: Hey look! It's the 9th chapter *cue victory dance* haha just kidding. I'm celebrating because...of something that I should not share to the internet.

So, some of you has been saying that the story needed DRAMA.

As much as I want to answer that rudely (don't worry. It's out of habit. If your classroom is full of bull-headed jerk, you have to act tough), I can't actually do it. I'm not fond of drama, that's why most of my friends are boys, they don't have drama. Also, the story is categorized as a HUMOR story, not a drama. So, I'm sorry, BUT I'll try.

I was looking at the number of reviews and then...WHOA! 50+! Thanks a lot for the reviews, guys.

Four's POV

I straddle Tris in my arms carefully as the guards search below us. I try not to shuffle much on the branch but I'm afraid that placing all my weight and Tris' on one place for a long time might break it.

"Are you okay there, Four?" Will whispers at me. He and Uriah are right next to us, the ice box strategically placed between them.

I turn my head towards him. I never was a good whisperer. "Yeah, a bit uncomfortable, but I'm alright"

"What about Tris?" he asks. I hear Uriah whispering in agreement.

I look down at her and sigh, "Nothing. But Marlene says that the bullet wound wasn't deep, and that the bullet was filled with something. A deep-violet substance." I answer.

"Do you think it's from the Erudite?" I hear Marlene ask. She was sitting on a forked branch, ripping up leaves.

"Possibly, or maybe the guards got some in their supply for situations like this" Uriah replies at her.

"Do they really need to knock out a person this long just because they sneaked out of the compound? I mean, it's still within the factions. And we are official members" Will says

"Yeah, for a year now" Uriah says

"Ssh, guys. You'll get their attention" Shauna whispers at us. She points down at the 3 guards, one girl and two boys, and moves her body so she can see below. We follow suite and see that the guards are starting to look up at us.

Thanks goodness we thought of climbing higher.

I hear the female guard say to another, "They probably continued running. Did you get to shoot one of them?"

"Yeah, a girl" the other guard with a nose ring answers

"Do you think they left her?"

"Probably. She was wounded and limping, they probably left her. She looked like dead weight to me"

I felt anger burning through me. I wouldn't leave Tris behind even if my life depended on it, and hearing the guard saying that she was dead weight made me want to knock him out cold. I probably showed my expression because Marlene places a hand at my shoulder.

"Calm down. It's better to listen to them than to react. Especially since they're armed and we're not"

I nod and clutch Tris closer to me. Her shoulder was bandaged, thanks to Marlene, but blood was still seeping through it and was already coloring the piece of cloth a dark crimson. She needs a change of bandage.

"Marlene, can you..." I whisper, nodding to Tris.

She nods and takes out a roll of bandage. She removes the cloth from Tris' shoulder and begins to clean up the wound from dried blood. I see a faint purple blotch around the wound and I feel my stomach turn. I should have told them to run when I spotted a black figure by the distance. I should have pulled Tris away from the view. God, I messed up badly.

"There, finished" I hear her say. I thank her and adjust Tris in my arms. She looks asleep, but her breath were slow and shallow. The bruise on her lip healed, but it stands out on her now-pale face. I give her a quick peck on the lips then returned my attention to the three guards below us.

"We should have followed the others" I hear one of the guards grumble. He had a tattoo of a fist at the back of his hand. That's a stupid idea for a permanent tattoo

"Oh shut up, will you. We might see them pass by, then we'll have a promotion in the rankings" Nose ring replies

"How would catching 10 kids rise our ranks?" Tattoo asks

"Because we finally captured somebody. And not just 1 person, but 10, asshole." Nose ring snaps back. Geez, he needs anger management

"It's boring when all you've got to do is stand by the entrance near the net whenever initiation is happening. the least we can hope for is to transfer from the beach to the fence" the girl says.

We are going to be stuck here for hours unless they go away, unless something gets their attention. The idea, in my opinion, is mediocre, but we have to try. I need someone else to do it, however. I can't trust anybody with Tris, even if they are her best friends. I trusted her with her transfer friends before during initiation, now look at what happened to Al.

Turning my head, I look at Will and Uriah, you were listening eagerly to the on-going conversation below us. I "psst"-ed at them and they turned my head towards me. I motion them towards me, giving a hard flick with my head. The two of them moved towards our tree.

"Guys, we need a distraction. If we can manage to redirect their attention and make them stay there for a long time, it might give us time to climb down and run away" I say to them. They smile and nod.

"But, how are we going to tell the others?" Uriah asks, gesturing towards Zeke, Shauna, Christina, Lynn and Lauren, who were listening to the continuing complains of the Dauntless guards below.

"Easy" I say.

I move Tris so I was supporting her with my right arm, and get the small piece of branch next to me with my left hand. It's small enough to make a small commotion, but it will buy us enough time to communicate with the others.

I aim at the tree a few feet away from us. I breath slowly and locked my eyes with the target. I'm not bad with my left hand, but I prefer to use my right hand in times like this. I take a deep breath then throw the piece of wood. It hit a bundle of leaves, making the birds in it fly out and making a ruckus. The 3 guards run towards it.

I quickly face the other 5, who were looking at me with a confused face.

"Look guys, we don't have much time. The guards will be back soon, so the next time we'll make a larger ruckus, we have to climb down and run away." I say to them quickly.

"But, where will we go?" Lynn asks

"I don't care, as long as we get out of here" Zeke says. He quickly motions us back when I hear footsteps coming towards us.

"God, I hate those kind of things" I hear Tattoo say

"What? Trees and birds?" the girl says.

"No! Distractions! Always pulls you out of the moment"

"So, the next time you'll hear rustling near the trees-"

"I won't give a shit about it. It's probably some squirrel having a wrestling competition with a bird or something"Tattoo grumbles and positions himself on the trunk of our tree.

"What the fuck are we going to do, Four?" Will whispers to me, emphasizing the word "fuck". I shrug and look at him with an "Don't you dare place all the burden on me" look.

Suddenly, I hear a grunt from the guard below us and a curse from the other.

"Jonathan! What the fucking hell, dude!" Nose ring says to Tattoo, who was probably Jonathan. Nose ring had a swelling cheek and his left eye was closed because of the swelling.

"I-I do-don't k-know, d-dude" Jonathan stammers. He was moving awkwardly, rising one shoulder and the other while moving his arms around as is turning in circles. He looks like he has an insect in his shirt and is trying desperately to get it off.

I look at Zeke and Lynn and see that both of them were silently-laughing. Zeke had a full-on grin on his face while Lynn's corners of her mouth were up, forming a smile. In their eyes was a hint of deviousness and malice, but I think the malice part was just in Lynn's. Shauna was smiling next to them, her shoulders shaking as if suppressing a laugh. Will and Uriah were staring at Jonathan with wide eyes and smiling with their mouths open, like they are torn between a grin and a gasp.

Marlene was covering her mouth with her hands, her eyes showing laughter. Christina was also in the same position with Will and Uriah.

I look down and, for a split second, I see a small squirrel zipping in and out of Jonathan's loose shirt. I see that Jonathan was starting to remove his shirt but the squirrel already nipped on his pants and crawled into it.

When Jonathan dropped his shirt on the ground, I see faint red blotches on his back. I'm starting to like squirrels. (A/N: Four is a bit OOC at that part :D. Forgive me)

Suddenly, he starts shaking his legs around, even stomping on his feet. He starts clawing at his pants and begins slapping and punching himself on the legs. Jonathan suddenly freezes then shouts a very high, very girly and very painful scream and fall on his knees, then on his face, clutching between his legs.

I cringe at the thought that the squirrel might have bitten him on the... well, to rephrase it, I don't think he'll get a direct descendant. I see the squirrel dart out of the pants through one of the hole it nibbled through and crawled up the tree and went near Shauna, who gave him a scratch behind the ear (A/C or Author's comment: Shauna, since when did you become a Disney Princess? XD)

"What the hell? What happened, dude? Are you okay?" Nose ring says. He's not okay, idiot. Did you not see the bite mark on his back?

"Mmhmm" Jonathan answers. Instead of sounding like a normal "mmhmm", it sounded like it was forced from lips that were glued together. His voice was higher than usual, which mean that squirrel really gave him pain.

The girl crouches down and begins poking Tattoo's scars, earning her groan of pain.

"You need to go to the infirmary" the girl says. No shit, Sherlock.

"Yep, he does" Nose ring replies. He kneels down and carries Jonathan, who had a smaller build compared to Nose ring. Nose ring starts to walk away but stops when he hears the girl follow him.

"You'll be staying here, Cass" He says to the girl, who's name must have been Cass.

You're pointing out the obvious, Four, I say to myself. Great, talking to yourself is one of the signs of craziness. Maybe it's the prolonged exposure to heat?

"Wait, what? You're leaving me here alone with the thing that did that to Jonathan? Are you crazy, Rob?" Cass says to Nose Ring.

Rob removes his rifle from his back then gives it to Cass. "Here, you'll have an extra rifle. So stop being a pansycake and man up. You're Dauntless" he says, then walks out, getting Jonathan's gun from the ground.

A few minutes later, Cass is left there, miles away from the nearest guard, and oblivious to the 9 teenagers who are waiting to strike above her.

A/N: Sorry for the little OOC of some of the characters. I decided that I have to name the guards (because 'girl', Tattoo[s], and Nose Ring are just plain wrong). Reviews please! And remember, I'll only take suggestions for the special chapter on the Author's note on the last chapter.

So, I am now finished with this chapter, I'll think I'll post the next one tomorrow (I still have guitar lessons :(. Sorry guys)
