-Four POV-
No. It can't be.
In her fury, Calyx rips off the bandage on her neck to reveal a tattoo behind her left ear. It was a 'T'.
I know it is for me, but I don't think she knows it. I know she doesn't know who I am, and I am reasonably sure she doesn't remember her brothers real name. I thik she did it out of a spark of instinct.
Nevertheless I am nervous she will find out. I hear Leslie say something rude about the Erudite and I feel Six jerk beside me, and I immediately restrain her, but I know that I would have the same fury. I hear the word 'suicide', and I nearly let go.
This girl is pushing me to my limit and I am ready to stop it. Stage Two starts next week. Next week. I look around to distract myself and notice the fence approaching.
"We're here." I announce tightly. I look back at Calyx, and I ma unable to hide the pain in my eyes from what I had done. She shoots me her usual glare, that reminds me so much of myself, and I notice her eyes widen slightly.
Again, my heart rate quickens. Tris nudges me and I know that it iis time to jump. She leads off and I follow. Calyx jumps off irst landing smoothly on her feet, followed by Jackie. Candorface follows but she trips and grabs onto Genevieve who lands well enough.
I smirk a little and glance at Calyx, but her gaze is stony as she looks at the Erudite.
I look over as well, wondering why she would- Oh.
You can see a fraction of Abnegation through the Erudite buildings. I see her fingers twitching and as she shakes herself a loose strand of hair falls from her long ponytail.
She doesn't notice it, so I turn to Six.
"Can we get this over with? I cant stand here all day, I will end up panicking over my sister."
She looks into my eyes, with her piercing blue-grey ones. "Why don't you understand? If you can't ell her you need to show her. She lost her two best friends, and she needs someone"
I nod, but I am too frustrated with myself. "I think I'm a bit too… Stiff." I say. I know I am referring to my home faction but I don't care. I'm too lost in my own thoughts.
She grabs my wrist, tightly and says. "No one is too stiff to let their feelings out. That's not why you're here."
I suddenly feel enraged. Is she insulting our old home?
"Is there something wrong with being a Stiff?" I hiss. I see her eyes widen. "That's not what I said-"
"It is what you said. I actually have a family to care for." I spit. Her eyes settle, and I know what I have done. I have implied on her not caring about her family.
Without a word, she turns away from me, and my heart spikes. "Six-" I call out hoping, desperate, for a reply.
No matter how small the argument I'm not oblivious to how much I need her.
But her only reply is her fist clenching tightly, and her eyes wandering to Calyx. She walks over to her, and begins to speak to her.
I growl curses to myself for my stupidity. First my sister, and now my girlfriend.
-Calyx POV-
I see Six come over to me with fury in her eyes and I immediately wonder what I have done.
"Calyx." She says firmly.
I am not afraid of her, but I respect her enough to fear her consequences.
"Six, have I done any-" she cuts me off with a firm shake of her head.
"What happened then?" Her jaw clamps tighter.
"Nothing that can't be fixed. But, I just wanted to know a little behind your tattoo." She smiled a little, which makes me even more nervous.
"O-Oh." I stammer, confusedly. "I – um," I don't want to say too much. "I don't remember my brother but my dad" I spit out the word like its poisonous. "always told me it started with a 'T'."
She nods, slightly. "Do you ever wonder what it would be like if you ever met your brother?"
I flash a look of pure frustration at her question.
"No, I don't." I snap. "If I met my brother, I don't know what I would do, but I know I never will."
"All I remember is that he lied to me about staying, and that he promised he would stay with me. But he left me with no warning. I mean, I expected him to leave, but I never expected him to lie about staying."
I find myself ranting to her but I don't mind.
"And all I remember is that he would say," I think long and hard. "Don't worry. It'll be- It'll be-" My brain is at a loss and I feel my scar begin to tingle.
"It'll be-" I couldn't finish. Don't worry. It'll be-
"Don't force it, Calyx. I know what you mean. There is something that will trigger him to your mind eventually."
I nod but I am still thinking about the phrase.
And then something hit me. Four had said something. Don't worry. Was it a coincidence?
Could he know my brother?
