Chapter 12
A/N~ Monkeygirl1425 suggested that I did Tris's POV of what happened that day so here it is. Dedicated to you! Please enjoy and let me know what you think...
Tris's POV
Today Tobias has to help Uriah train the dauntless borns because Christina went to visit her family due to some 'issues' between her and Will. Whatever that means. I think Tobias forgot about helping Uriah though because when I remind him, his eyes widen and he starts speeding up. He seems in quite a bad mood. I'm surprised that me flirting didn't cheer him up like it usually does. He's probably mad that he's late and I washed his shirts. I had no choice, they smelt!
I still have to train transfers today so I leave shortly after Tobi and grab a chocolate muffin. Mmmm my favourite! I sit down at a table where Zeke, Shauna, Will and Marlene are sat as I still have ten minutes before training starts. For some odd reason, the transfers training starts half and hour later than the dauntless borns- I wish we had that last year when I was an initiate. I'm glad Eric can't help this year because it would probably result in him having a black eye and a broken nose. Courtesy of me. We all talk as normal and laugh when I tell them my thoughts that I just had about Eric. Will just sits there, thoughtfully gazing at the table, a look of worry and regret on his face, it's probably something to do with Christina. I'm about to ask (thanks to my erudite side) but Zeke reminds me of the time. I get up from the table trying to look calm and collected but end up tripping over the chair leg and carrying on as though nothing happened. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this. Anyone?
I run into the training room to find it empty, they weren't in the cafeteria either. If they are still asleep... I decide to go and check their dorm just in case they are still there. When I arrive at the door, I don't hear any sounds coming from inside but I cautiously open the door anyway, not expecting anyone on there. I'm surprised to see all my initiates tied up and gagged with what looked like socks, muting any possible sound that could have come out of their mouths. I untie them all, starting with Adam- the amity, and leaving Ava and Meghan to last. Even if they did seem the most distressed. Once they are all untied, all hell breaks loose with people shouting and about a million questions are thrown at me all at once.
"One at a time!" I shout over the huge din they are making. Everyone eventually shuts up after hearing my very loud, annoyed voice. "What is going on here?" I yelled at them and Ava with her oh so brilliant come backs (sarcasm) says," Thought you were smarter than that Six! We got tied up you dummy!" I ignored her but on the inside I really wanted to rip her hair out. Adam decides to speak up, he always was my favourite.
"We're not too sure as to who it was but we saw he had greasy hair and a bunch of piercings all over his face which made him look really ugly. He looked factionless." There is only one person I know who fits that description. Eric. He was made factionless after purposely pushing someone over the edge of the chasm but he still came back. Why he would want to tie up my initiates, I don't know but I don't care. "Thank you Adam. This doesn't mean you have a day off training you know. If you're not in the training room in five minutes, consider yourself factionless. Go on! Go get changed." They scatter, picking out clothes and going to the bathroom while I stalk out the door, angry at Eric. How dare he come back after what he did?
When I get to the training room, I start to set up the guns again as they weren't very good yesterday. The morning goes by too slowly and I start to miss Tobi even though we've only been apart for a couple of hours. I examine the initiates and their targets just like yesterday. Adam is almost perfect but I have to tell him to aim the gun a bit higher and when he fires again, he hits dead centre. He thanks me and I congratulate him before moving onto the next person. Meghan. She's still not very good and most likely won't make it into dauntless. Which is very good for me I guess but it's my job as her instructor, to help her. I inwardly groan and point out what she needs to improve, which is a lot. The annoying this is, she doesn't listen to a word I say so when I tell her to shoot again, she's just as bad as she was before. Eh! More chance she won't make it into dauntless. What a shame( note the sarcasm!)
The rest of the morning goes on like this and I find myself wishing that it was lunch already. Five minutes before lunch, Callum starts talking to me saying how he was thankful for saving him this morning from 'the freaky man'. I just choose to ignore him and start packing away the equipment. He obviously didn't like this so he starts to back me up against the wall. I am aware of the initiates standing there gaping at us and Ava and Meghan snicker whilst whispering about what will happen when they tell Four about me 'kissing' Callum. I scoff and will for Tobias to come through the door to save the day. Just as Callum is about to kiss me, Tobias comes through the door with his jacket slung over his shoulder. He sees me pinned against the wall and his fists clench by his sides as he stalks over, looking so angry and terrifying.
When he reaches us, I feel the pressure of Callum lifted off of me and I hear the sound of skin splitting. After Tobi is finished with Callum, he whispers in his ear and when he mentions that I'm his girlfriend, I hear an audible gasp and smirk before leaving the room with Tobias. I have to calm him down and after lunch we go to Max's office while Zeke and Shauna look after the initiates for us. I'm not too sure if that's the best idea ever but they were the only two available. Unfortunately, we had to bribe them with a whole dauntless chocolate cake! Tobias takes my hand as we make our way up the steep paths that lead to the leaders corridor which dauntless members rarely went down. I was starting to get really nervous. What if they know about our divergence? If they do then we're pretty much dead already. After a short walk, we make it to Max's door and Tobias knocks loudly and after a few seconds, we hear our sign to go in. I analyse the room as we step in, surprised to see it all neat and tidy. "I'm glad you could make it." Max tells us politely and Tobias asks why we are hear. "I have. A daughter." Wow I was not expecting that. "And she's divergent. In this years initiation. Now that Eric is gone, we no longer hunt divergents." He tells us and we act confused as to why he's telling us this. "You and I both know that you are divergent and I was wondering if you could look out for her on stage 2. She's called Natalia." Recognition comes onto Tobias's face. "That's the girl that I saw making out with that Zach guy!" He says and Max just looks angry. "We promise we'll look out for her." I tell him kindly, my abnegation side showing. We get up and leave, going back to our own initiates to find them all doing push ups and crunchies with Zeke barking orders at them with Shauna standing off to the side. He sees us, smiles sheepishly and flicks his hand at us telling us to go away. So that's what we do. As we walk, Tobias asks what I want to do. "Can we just go back to our apartment and watch a film?" I ask him and he agrees but not before making me tell him every detail about what happened this morning so I tell him how busy and stressful it was. We head back to the apartment and put on 'avengers assemble' which is Tobias's favourite movie. I don't really watch the film though, I just snuggle into Tobias's chest and fall asleep within the first 10 minutes.
A/N~ that was a bit longer than normal! But sorry for the bad ending please review...
