Hello everyone! I'm here with another chapter for you. The desire to write has been pretty strong and the ideas are flowing in my brain.

Please bear with me as I'm not going to be update very often. Starting Friday, I'll be busy two days of the week. I'm also busy on Monday and Wednesday. My only free days are Tuesday and Thursday and some Thursdays are not going to be free to write. So, some weeks, Tuesday is the only day free. Some Sundays, I might write, just depends on how tired I am and if my family decides to play board games.

Got some reviews to respond to here!

DivergingTheHungerGames: I'm glad that you want Tzofiya and Phoenix to have somebody. I'm thinking about them and I've got some ideas rolling in this brain of mine. I'm glad that you're enjoying this and you want to see what comes next! Thank you for your ideas for Tzofiya's boyfriend.

OwlMaya: I'm glad that I helped you where you were confuzzled! I've got someone in mind for Tzofiya while I've taken some time to think of what I want to happen next in the story. Thank you for your ideas for Tzofiya's boyfriend.

I'm happy to see that you all are showing interest in this story and that you all are giving me ideas for Tzofiya and Phoenix's boyfriends. I've got some ideas for some special people for them in mind. I'll probably show off who I have in mind for Tzofiya in a chapter or two from this one.

I think that's all I have to say here!

Chapter 11

Bryan's P.O.V.

I wake up bright and early, which is a little unusual for me. I think I have too much excitement to sleep. I have some special plans for myself and Adira. She deserves something special. 1) She's very special to me, 2) she's my fiancé, and 3) she's been through so much with her life in Abnegation, initiation so far, and with the trials of her family, Kira and her squad, and the transfers. She just needs a break and something to get her mind off of everything that's happened. I want to just do something with her and to let her know how much she means to me.

Four, Six, Chris, and Will decided to give some time for the trials to blow over and to give Adira some more time to rest and recover from the poison that her family put in her body. I still can't get my head around that and everything that they did to her. It just boggles my mind. I can't grasp my head around it.

I decide to go and wake up Adira. I know that Tzofiya will be making breakfast downstairs right about now. But I can't hold in my excitement for what I have planned for Adira today. I want to hurry up and get the day started. Yeah, yeah, I know, I sound just like a little kid wanting to open their gifts on Christmas morning, but I can't help it. Adira is the woman of my dreams. I'm taking her with all of her baggage that she's been carrying from her life in Abnegation and everything that's happened to her here. Scars and all. I'm here for her through the good times and the bad. I'm not giving up on her. God certainly hasn't given up on her and neither am I.

I get dressed and walk over to her bedroom. It's just across from me in case she has a nightmare or something.

She has the room completely dark. I hear some music playing softly from her Ipod. I think I hear an album by Paul Wilbur playing. I think that Adira or maybe it was Tzofiya told me that that is one of her favorite people to listen to at night and that if she doesn't have music playing at night that she can't go to sleep. I guess that when we marry after initiation that I will have to get used to that.

I slide into the bed with her. I haven't done this since she came home from the hospital. I loved every minute of it. I know that I don't have to wait much longer to do this with her for the rest of my life.

Adira rolls over so that she is facing me and opens her eyes. She looks so tired and still weak from what her family did to her.

"Good morning, beautiful," I say to her, softly.

"Good morning, handsome," she says, sleepily.

"Did you sleep well?"

"On and off. I kept tossing and turning. Overall, I guess that you could say that I slept well."

I chuckle a little and say, "Yeah, I guess that one could say that. By the way, since the leaders have decided to put initiation off for awhile longer, I have some plans for us today."

Adira sits up in the bed and says, "Oh really? May I ask what you have in store for us?"

I smile and shake my head.

"Sorry, my mouth is sealed. All you need to know is to be dressed in whatever is comfortable for you to spend the whole day in."

She rubs her chin in thought and nods her head.

"Okay. I think I can do that for you, my prince."

I chuckle again and say, "Okay. I'll leave you to get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs. We'll have breakfast with Tzofiya and Phoenix and then we'll head out."

"Okay."

I leave her room and close the door. I can't wait for the day to start. There are so many things that I have planned.

I plan for us to get a little bit of training in. I know that because of what her family did for if she ever decided to talk back at them or break from the way of doing things. I don't want her to lose for stage 2 of initiation. I want her to be strong and to be able to hold her own with the fights. I just hope that I don't have to fight her, nor any of her friends. I know that it will probably be most likely that she has to, but I just pray that she's not against one of us. I'd rather that she is against one of the Dauntless born.

I also plan on taking her out for lunch, just the two of us. And then, I plan for us to make a trip to Amity to see her sisters, if she wants to. It's just been a few days, I know, but I think that she might like to see how things are going for them.

And then, I plan to take her out for dinner afterwards.

I hope that she enjoys what I have planned. I'm willing to change my plans if she doesn't want to see her sisters. I have something else in mind if she doesn't want to, but I really think and feel that she'll want to go see them. I already have permission from the leaders of Dauntless and Amity for Adira and her sisters to meet.

I head downstairs. Sure enough, Tzofiya is making breakfast, listening to something on either her phone or Ipod, and singing along to the music.

I walk over to her and tap her on the shoulder.

She jumps a little and takes out her earbuds.

"Sorry," she says, "I just wasn't expecting anyone to be this early nor be down here yet."

"It's fine," I say to her, "What are you making?"

"Well, I decided to make some French toast and everyone can pick some fruit, whatever they want."

"Sounds good to me."

"Does Adira know what you've got planned for today?"

I told Phoenix and Tzofiya about my plans to see if they thought it was a good idea or not. They had thought that is was a splendid idea. They also thought that we should have some good time together with it being just the two of us before initiation starts back up and before the wedding. I can tell that Tzofiya is having a hard time with Adira being married.

"Hey, while we have some time to talk alone, I noticed that you seemed a little sad last night when I told you and Phoenix about my plans for today. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just sad that soon it won't be me who looks after her. I did it all of the time when we were in Abnegation. She couldn't. It's not in her nature and she was afraid of her family. Anything could set her family off, it could just be something that was a mistake and her family would just flip out. I'm just used to being the one to help her and be the one that she would confide in. Now, she has you. You'll become one. I won't get that anymore."

I have Tzofiya sit down in a chair and say, "You'll still be there for her. Just because we're getting married doesn't mean that she'll quit talking to you and telling you everything. There will probably be some things that she won't talk to me. 1) I'm not a woman, I'm a man. There'll be things that I'll have no clue about. Tzofiya smiles a bit at that. 2) You are her best friend. I only met her when you guys were running with the transfers and the Dauntless born to the train. But, you have been with her since the beginning. I haven't. There will probably be things from her past that she might not be comfortable talking to me about that she'll probably come to you about. You will always have that special place in her heart. You are her best friend. If you have any questions, pull Adira aside and talk with her. She'll make time for you. You mean a lot to her."

"Thank you. You've made me feel a lot better about this. I probably do need to talk with her and tell her about how I feel. I'm really happy for the both of you, I really am. Adira deserves you and I can tell that she's in love with you. You're her other half. The both of you are complete with each other. It's just that things are changing. She's growing up. I knew that this day would come, but I just was hoping that I would have some more time with just the two of us before she gets married, that's all."

"I'll tell you what, how about you and Adira spend some time together with just the two of you before initiation starts? I don't know how that will work, but maybe you guys just watch a movie, or you guys go shopping, I don't know what girls do when they hang out. But, talk with her and see what you can do. You could also maybe talk with the leaders and see if you guys can go to one of the other factions. I don't know. I'm just throwing out some ideas out there for you."

"No, that's good. I'll see about talking to her when you guys get home or something."

"That sounds good. I'll leave you to finish making breakfast."

"Okay, I'll call you when I'm finished. I'm almost done here."

"Okay."

I turn around to go to the living room. When I turn around, Adira is coming down the stairs. She has a blank tank top on with black leggings. She has her hair in a side braid. She's so pretty. I love her dearly. She seems to be getting prettier every time I look at her.

"What are you staring at?" she asks, softly with a smile on her face.

I shake my head and say, "Nothing, just was staring at you and thinking about how you're the most beautiful person that I know."

"Okay, can you guys talk about that somewhere else? You're sounding like a married couple already," Phoenix says, coming out of her room.

Adira and I blush. Is our love for each other and our affection really showing that much? Hmm, I'll have to look into that.

"Alright! Breakfast's ready!" Tzofiya yells.

We head into the kitchen. We eat our breakfast together in silence.

The silence just leaves me to my thoughts. I can't wait to be married. I want to be intimate with Adira. I want to protect her. I want to be with her. I want her to be mine. She is my other half. She is the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with.

I smile to myself as I have these thoughts.

"What are you smiling about?" Adira asks me, whispering and leaning over to me.

I start to blush again.

"What are these feelings? Is this what it means to be in love? I love her. Is this what happens when you find the one that God has meant for you to spend the rest of your life with? These are some of the questions that I have."

I smile at her and whisper back to her, "Just smiling over the fact that in a couple weeks that you'll be mine and how I can't wait to be married to you, that's all."

Adira blushes and whispers, "You sound just like a kid at Christmas time."

I whisper, "I know and I'm proud of it. I feel like a kid at Christmas. Only, I know what I'm getting and I'm so excited for it."

Adira blushes and shakes her head.

"Okay, lovebirds, get out of here and go do whatever it is that you've got planned," Phoenix says, "I can't wait for you two to be married and for you to be affectionate away from people who aren't married."

"You're just jealous," Tzofiya says, "Maybe you should get with Daniel. Now, he sounds like someone just for you."

Phoenix blushes and says, "Sh-Shut up. You don't know what you're talking about."

"Yeah, uh-huh, sure. Whatever you say," Tzofiya says.

We all laugh with Phoenix continues to blush an ever brighter red.

"Alright, Adira and I are going to be off. We'll see you later tonight," I say.

"Alright, see you later," Tzofiya says.

"Bye, have fun, lovebirds," Phoenix says, "I think that will be my nicknames for the two of you, lovebirds."

I chuckle and lead Adira out the door.

"So, where are we heading to?" she asks.

"First up, we're going to the training room to train. You need to get your strength back up for stage 2 of initiation."

"What's stage 2?"

"I'm afraid I can't say. I only know because I'm a Dauntless born. Because of that, I promised that I wouldn't say anything to you, Phoenix, and Tzofiya. It's hard to keep my mouth shut."

Adira nods her head and says, "Yeah, I think I understand."

"A good thing, we have the training room all to ourselves."

She smiles and we walk hand in hand.

We arrive at the training room. I asked Four and Six to set everything up last night. They didn't let me down. Everything that was used for stage 1 is up and ready to go. I wasn't sure what Adira would want to do, so I asked for everything to be set up.

"Looks like you went and got prepared for this," she says.

"Yep. I wasn't sure what you would want to do, so I asked Four and Six to get everything from stage 1 to be set up."

"Cool."

"So, what do you want to work on?"

"Hmm, shall we work on the punching bags?"

"Sure, we can do that."

We head over to the punching bags.

"Can you show me the correct stance again? I believe that I remember it, but I want to make sure that I'm doing it right."

"How about you show me what you believe the stance is and I'll correct you as I see that it needs to be corrected?"

"You sound like Four and Six."

"I guess that you could say that. After all, I am your instructor for today."

"Well, Instructor Bryan, how's this?"

Adira gets into a stance. She crouches and has her hands in fists in front of her, like she's trying to protect her face.

"That's pretty good, just keep tension here."

I put my hands on her stomach and show her how to keep the tension there.

She nods and throws some punches into the punching bag.

"Not bad, now let's do it again."

She practices for a bit more and I join her on a punching bag next to her. We do this for awhile.

"Do you want to move to something else?" I ask her.

She nods.

"Let's do some knife throwing," she says.

I nod and we head to where the knives and the targets are. Adira gets into the correct stance, picks up a knife, and throws. She gets a bullseye.

"Great job!" I exclaim.

Adira beams and throws several more. I join her. I get bullseyes every time. We do this for awhile.

"Want to do the guns?" I ask her.

She nods. I look at her. Some of the hair is coming out of her braid. She's sweaty and is panting.

"Let's get a drink first and then we'll do the guns."

"Okay."

We head to where the water fountains are in the training room.

"Are you having fun yet?" I ask her.

"Yeah. I'm glad to get some practice in since I've been in the hospital for so long."

"I agree."

We finish getting our drinks and we head over to the guns.

Adira gets into the correct stance, grabs a gun, and fires. She almost gets a bullseye.

"Good job!" I exclaim. I'm proud of her. She's doing so well. If you didn't know any better, you would never know that she's been sick and in the hospital for awhile.

She beams and fires several rounds until she gets bullseyes every time she fires the gun.

I join her. I get bullseyes every time.

We fire the guns for awhile.

"You done training?" I ask her.

"Yeah, I think I'm done for today. I can train some more another day."

"Let's hit the showers and I'll take you to the next place."

"Alright."

We shower in separate showers.

After we shower, we get dressed and meet back in the training room.

"You look good," I say.

"How did you get everything here, even my clothes?" Adira asks.

"I have my ways. I'm not going to tell all of my secrets. That will spoil for when I decide to do this again."

"Oh? You have plans for when we're married?"

"Now what makes you say that?"

"Just a hunch."

I smile and chuckle. This just proves how much I love Adira. I can't wait to do more of this with her after initiation.

"So, where to now?"

"I'm thinking of lunch with just the two of us."

"Hmm, that sounds perfect. I'm hungry after all that training."

"I thought so. I've got the perfect place in mind."

"Oh?"

"Yep, if you'll follow me, my lady."

"Lead away, my prince."

I take Adira to my favorite spot in Dauntless. My favorite spot is the top of the Dauntless building. It's high up and you can see everything from up there.

"We're here, my lady."

"Wow. This place is amazing. You can see everything. How did you find this place?"

"My dad took me up here. It's his favorite place. He told me that he showed it to my mom after he knew that she was the one and they were going to be married. I decided to continue that tradition with you."

"Wow, thank you. This view is beautiful. You can even see some of Amity's fields from up here."

Adira looked a little sad mentioning Amity. She must be thinking about her sisters.

"Thinking about your sisters?"

"Yeah. I wonder how they're getting along with the life of being in Amity."

"I'm sure that they're doing fine. And that brings me to what I next have in mind for today."

"Oh?"

"Yep. I've had this all planned out and agreed on, that is if you want to."

"If I want to do what?"

"If you want to, we can make a trip to Amity and visit with your sisters."

"Really?"

"Yes, but only if you want to."

"I do. I miss them and I'd like to know how they're doing. I haven't seen them since the trial. I just want to make sure that they're fine."

"Then let's do it. Now, your sisters don't know that we're coming, but everything is ready for you to visit along with the terms of the jury."

"Oh thank you! You're the best!"

I chuckle. Adira can be so funny. She's just cheery and happy. It's a blessing to watch, especially with everything that she's been through. I love to see how God had redeemed all of what has happened to her in Abnegation. It's a wonder with all that God has done. I'm in awe with everything that God has done in her life.

"Well, let's pack the picnic up and head to the train to go to Amity."

"Okay. Let's do this!"

We pack everything up and to the train. We get to the gate and get a ride from an Amity truck that was told to wait for us and to take us to Amity.

We enjoy the ride to Amity in silence, occasionally we make small talk or point something out that we think the other would like or find interesting.

As we get closer to the Amity compound, Adira starts to get nervous.

"You okay?"

"I think so. I don't know I should feel with seeing them. I'm excited and I want Emily to know that I'm okay. I know that I told my family that I forgive them, but there's a part of me that wonders if Emily and Jessie believe that. I really wonder."

"It's okay. I'm here with you. We'll get through this together."

"I'm so glad that you're here with me."

"Me too."

We sit the rest of the trip in silence.

We soon get to the Amity compound. We meet with the people that will be overseeing the meeting between Adira and her sisters.

We follow the people to the building that has been reserved for this meeting.

"Wait here," Johanna says, "I will bring your sisters here. I'm interested to see how this meeting will go. They've been doing well here, considering everything that has happened between all of you."

Johanna is the leader of Amity. I think that she was there for the trials. That must be why she said what she did. Johanna only agreed to let Adira and her sisters meet if she was there for the meeting. I'm still a little shocked that the leaders of Dauntless and the leader of Amity is allowing Adira and her sisters to meet.

We sit in some chairs that are in a circle in the center of the room. I guess that the chairs are for us to use. I don't see any other chairs in the room.

Johanna comes in after a few minutes. Jessie and Emily are in the Amity clothes. It looks like they have been in the fields doing something. They look like they fit right in. I really wonder if they're doing well.

Adira runs over to them and gives the both of them a big group hug.

"Hey guys, how are you doing?" Adira asks them.

"We're fine," Jessie says, "Considering everything that happened."

"Yeah, I know," Adira says, "What about you, Emily? Are you fitting in here?"

"For the most part," Emily says, "It's not really a big deal. We're doing fine, sl-I mean, Adira. Sorry, I'm so used to calling you that."

"It's okay. That's what everyone told you to call me. It's no big deal," Adira says.

"Why are you here?" Jessie says, "I mean, it's not like you really have a reason to come here."

"What do you mean?" Adira says.

I can see this turning into something awful if something isn't done. I open my mouth to say something, but Johanna shakes her head.

Johanna mouths, "We need to see if they have really changed or if they are going to go back to their old ways and habits."

"Why would they want to take that chance? What is going on here? Is there doubts of what Adira's sisters said? I know that Emily wasn't under the truth serum. Has something gone on that is making their testimonies be questioned?" I think to myself.

"I mean, why did you make this trip all the way over here? We're in different factions. Faction before blood. Does that make any sense to you? I mean, it's not like Amity likes the Dauntless. Why don't you just go back to your life in Dauntless? You know what, I'm done talking with you. Emily, let's go."

"No," Emily says, "I want to visit with Adira. You can leave if you want. I know that you're hurting, but don't make me not talk with Adira. She's still our sister."

"Fine, you can do whatever you want, but I'm leaving."

Jessie storms out of the building. I can tell that what Jessie said to Adira hurt her, but it looks like she's either burying it or she's doing something to push those feelings and emotions away.

"So, how have you been? I see that the antidote worked. I wasn't exactly sure if I gave the right one," Emily says.

"I fine. I'm almost completely recovered, thanks to you," Adira says.

Emily tells us how her life is in Amity. She likes being in Amity a lot.

Emily, Adira, and I talk about different things. We laugh and just have a good time with Emily. I wish that Jessie would have been a part of this, I guess that things like that take time. Old habits die hard, at least Emily is doing what she can to change and have that sister relationship with Adira.

"I'm not completely sure on this, but when I turn 16, I may be allowed to change factions. If I am allowed, I'm thinking about transferring to Dauntless so that I can be with you, Adira," Emily says.

"Really? Why do you want to go to Dauntless? Is it just because of being near me? I'm going to be married soon," Adira says.

"You're going to be married?"

"Yep, to this wonderful man."

I smile and nod to her.

"You're the one who's helped my sister, aren't you?" Emily asks me.

"Yes, I am," I say.

"Thank you for being there for her. And please tell her friends in Dauntless thank you as well. I'm very grateful how all of you have helped her through everything that has happened."

"You're welcome. I know that if you hadn't helped give the antidote that she wouldn't be here right now. So, thank you."

"You're welcome," she says, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my chores here in Amity. It was so good to see you again, Adira. Bryan, please take good care of my sister. She needs a lot of love with everything that my family and I put her through."

"I will, take care of yourself, okay?"

"I will. Good bye, I hope to see the both of you again soon."

"Bye!"

Emily leaves and goes back to her chores in Amity. I see why Adira loves her so much and wanted to see them again. I'm not sure about Jessie though. It may just be like Emily said, about Jessie hurting. I'll be praying for Jessie and Emily.

We say good bye to Johanna and the other Amity that were here to watch the meeting with Adira's sisters.

We take a ride back to the gate to take the train back to Dauntless.

"Thank you for taking me to see my sisters. I may not have gotten to really visit with Jessie, but I did get to have a wonderful conversation with Emily. I'm so happy that I got to see them."

"I'm glad that you're happy."

"What's next that you have for us today?"

"Dinner. I have a place for the two of us."

"Sounds delightful."

"It will be."

We get back to Dauntless and I take Adira to my favorite restaurant which is Olive Garden.

We enjoy a very lovely meal with just the two of us.

After our meal, we go back to the house. I'm so glad that we had our special day today. I don't think that we'll get another chance once initiation starts and I do want to give Tzofiya some time with Adira.

We say good night to each other.

"Good night, my prince. That was a wonderful day."

"Good night, my princess. I'm glad that you had a wonderful time. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

We go our separate ways. I'm so glad that Adira had fun and that she enjoyed herself. I can't wait to do that again.

That's a wrap! I hope that you enjoyed this chapter.

I think that the next chapter will be back to Adira's P.O.V.

Until next time, please review, follow, and favorite!
