Hey guys! Im back...I know I know... I have been slacking on my writing but my life is super chaotic right now so bear with me people... Im trying to keep this story clear and steady but my mind has been wandering. So story prompts and ideas appreciated! Alright don't forget to REVIEW! Enjoy :P
The morning came much sooner than Tris would have liked. Laying side by side, they had silently watched the minuet's slowly tick away as they waited together for the morning to make its appearence. She still wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel about everything that had happend in the night. Part of her was dead with fear, she knew the memories would suffocate her if she didn't control them, but there was another part of her that was slowly coming to life. It was as if she was smoldering, slowly burning from the inside out, and from the look on Fours face, he was feeling the same way. This time one thing was for certain, This war would not tear them apart.
" You know what hurts more than anything?" Fours voice tore Tris from her thoughts. She rolled onto her side and met his eyes with her own. Silently she waited for him to go on, time had taught her that he would speak only when ready.
"The past will be repeated. This will be the second time I have been forced to watch as the Initiats I am training are forced to fight long before they are ready, and once again, there is nothing I can do. Sometimes, I hate being Dauntless." Tris sat up immediatly.. Four was a leader in the Dauntless..they would make him factionless for speaking like that.
" You need to watch what you say! For now the best we can do is to train them to live. Not sound like traitors" With that Tris headed to the shower Without looking back. She needed to think and hot water was the best place to do so. She could hear Four moving around in their room, and she began to feet bad for snapping on him, but it was dangerous to talk the way he did. She wasnt going to lose him because he chose now as his time to become careless. She pushed him out of her mind and instead focused on the day at hand. Last night they had discussed changing the way they trained, but not how they would do it... and now they were all supposed to be fully prepared to change things up in the training style's.
She sighed, and began to get dressed. Somehow something so simple as the shower had succeeded in getting her calmed down, so instead of ignoring Four, she kissed him gently before sitting next to him and cuddling with her cup of coffee in the cold room.
"So, I was thinking today we need to just focuse on the regular training, and see if we can seperate the Divergent from the rest of the intiats. Tomorrow we can focuse on approaching them individualy. Possibly by tomorrow we can have discussed new training methods with Christina and Uriah, and agreed on one. If you can, try to speak to Ash and Rainer as soon as possible" The sound of Fours voice comforted Tris as she leaned against him. It was strong and confident in his assurance that everything would work out in the end. She was relieved he didn't want her to make a plan. Personally, she wanted to do was jump back into bed and end the day! and the day had only just begun.
All in al,l today she did not want to be Dauntless.
There was an air of tension in the training room as everyone silently filed in. Ash had sensed more than noticed a strange solemness amongst the Dauntless leaders at breakfast. She could tell they were trying to hide something from all the intiats. Glancing at Rainer, she noticed his face was more serious than usuall. Standing with her, he had angled his body in such a way that he wasn't exactly in front of her but one change in his stance and he would be protecting her with his own body. Part of her found this endearing, while another part of her found it a little irritating. Did he not think she was capable of protecting herself? Her thoughts began to run dark. Ignoring the irritation, she stopped herself from getting too worked up. Instead she turned her attention towards Tris.
The blond looked exhausted, almost older. As though over the night she had aged, and the memories she had thought she'd supressed, were coming back to haunt her. As Ash silenty gazed at Tris she barely realized Tris was headed towards her. She was so lost in her own thoughts, trying to figure out what could possibly be the problem, that she actually jumped when Tris voice gently drifted to her from behind.
"Meet me in the control room in ten minuets. Bring Rainer" Tris voice was low, soft, yet demanding, leaving no room for argument or question. Ash simply nodded. There was no use to waste more words and risk being overheard. Without another word Tris headed back to Four and Ash looked up, meeting Rainers curious eyes. Pressing into his side she kept her voice down as she spoke so that no one would hear her but him.
"I'll fill you in on the way to the control room, be ready to leave when I tell you ok? But keep in mind I'm not entirely sure myself whats going on" His guarded eyes met hers for a short moment, before he nodded without question. He had full faith he would hear every detail later on when the time was right.
Ash silently watched for Tris's signal to leave the room. Although she was stayins still, her mind roamed over every possibility she could find that would explain what was going on. Although she didn't want to acknowledge her main thought, she had a sick feeling that it was something bad, and that the Divergent were the targets. Again.
This time for her, there would be no sitting around watching everyone she knew and loved dying, while she hid out somewhere. She would be there beside her fellow Dauntless and she would die if she had to before she would allow young innocents to die again. Glancing up at Rainer her face tightend when she realized it, Rainer was now someone that she wouldn't be able to live without, someone that she would die for and who she knew would die for her. He was one more person on her list of people to protect. She wasn't sure she could handle getting close to him and then losing him. At the thought a part of her wanted to slip away, to leave his side and not let her heart get tangled up in his anymore than it already was. The other part of her wanted to take advantage of the moments they had left, and get to know every aspect of him. Instead she settled for slipping her hand into his, and stepping in closer to him. He squeezed her hand gently and began to her towards the exit. Surprised, Ash looked up and realized Tris must have signaled them to follow her, as she was already out the door. Allowing Rainer to lead her, they silently made their way to the doors to follow their leader.
Together Ash and Rainer walked towards the unknown future, Again. This time they weren't alone. They had each other and as long as they didn't lose that, they would make it!
