The next morning I make my way down to the wall of names in the net room. I look at the three glass panels pushed together and run my hands over my parents names. That's when I notice a slash on my name. I lean in closer and run my fingers along my name. I must have pressed to hard on the slash because the next thing I know is there is a small pain in my finger and when I pull back my finger is starting to bleed. I frown and hold the finger to my lips as I look around. I turn my attention back to the wall and my eye catches another name that is crossed out. As I look harder at the wall I notice a few other names are also crossed out. I recognize names of Abnegation members and a few dauntless names like Uriah. I frown and look down at the base of the wall for anything that may have been used to do this. I'll have to tell Tobias so we can get to the bottom of this.
I turn to head back to my apartment and get Tobias when a white envelope catches my eye. I bend down and pick it up before once again looking around. My heart hammers in my chest as I lift the back open and pull the note out.
"Many Divergents and Abnegations fell according to plan. However a lot more managed to see another day. This time they won't be so lucky."
I gasped and looked back at the wall. Every name crossed out represent the Divergents and Abnegation members. My name is one of them, even though clearly I'm not dead. I grip the letter tight in my hand and take off toward the apartment. When I get there I push through the door and slam it shut.
"Tobias!?" I call out. I wait for a moment before going and looking through out the apartment. "Tobias…?"
The bed is made so I know he left, unless…
I walk over to the bed and pick up the envelop that is leading against the pillows. The difference with this one is my name is written on the front. I open it and pull the note out like I did with the first.
"The boards might be wrong in saying Tris Prior now, but give it a few days."
I frown and shiver slightly. I look around the room before quickly leaving. I make sure to lock the door and run to the training room. Right now it's the only thought I have to find Tobias. I run in to the training room and see the initiates crowded around the fighting mat. Crap! I'm late and I really need to talk to Tobias. I look at Tobias who stands up straight from his fighting stance against Zeke. I bite my lip.
"Sorry I'm late! I ran into someone. Um… Four can I talk to you for a minute?" I speak up and stand taller. I try to show on my face that no is not answer. Four looks at Zeke.
"Can you take over for a sec. Change of plans we'll do fighting after lunch. Right now you'll work on shooting. Zeke will take you to the roof." Tobias speaks to the initiates.
Zeke nods and shouts a follow me and the initiates take off with Zeke to the roof. Tobias doesn't move off the fighting platform. I bite my lip as I walk up to him.
"Where were-" He starts but I just hold the envelopes out to him. He reads the first one and looks at me.
"It gets worse." I frown and point to the second note. He reads that one and his face turns angry. "The glass wall by the net. Every name of Abnegation members and Divergents is slashed. I want to go talk to Caleb."
"Not right now. I need to go with you-" Tobias frowns and touches my cheek.
I place my hand over his. "I can handle myself, Tobias. Please the initiates need you before Zeke lets one them shoot another. Talking to Caleb is something that needs to happen sooner than later."
Tobias sighed and kissed my forehead before speaking. "You have until lunch. If I don't see you at lunch I'm coming to Erudite after you."
"Okay." I whisper and press my lips to his before taking the envelopes and heading out.
So I'm going to start getting into the whole plot where Jeanine is up to her old tricks... Or is it Jeanine? Who knows! I know it doesn't quiet flow well with the last chapter but oh well. I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Let me know in a review!
