Disclaimer- I do not own Divergent or anything else. I'm not talented or creative.
I wake to the sound of the door opening. Tobias, Uriah, and I all jump to our feet and turn to the door. A young Erudite boy is standing at the door. I look at his face and gasp when I recognize him.
"Caleb?" I ask in shock.
"I come to get one of the Divergents. Uriah, I think." Caleb says, ignoring me.
"Uriah, don't go with him." I say.
"He has to."
"No. He is not going to go. Neither am I or Tobias."
Caleb's eyes land on Tobias who is holding my hand tightly. "Tobias Eaton." He says. "Traitor, what are you doing with my sister?"
"Tris is my girlfriend." Tobias replies stiffly.
"Beatrice, you are too young to have a boyfriend! He's two years older than you!"
"Shut up, Caleb!" I yell. "My name is Tris and I can do whatever I want! You betrayed me. And our parents! Do they know what you've been doing? That you most likely helped make both serums?"
"Dad doesn't know."
"What about Mom?"
"Our mother is dead."
My knees go weak. Tobias grabs me before I can fall. "W-what?" I manage out.
"They killed her. She was Divergent too. You will soon be following in her footsteps."
"Why are you doing this, Caleb?"
"Because I want to." Caleb grabs Uriah's arm and tries to drag him out of the room, but since Uriah is a trained Dauntless, he easily pulls out of Caleb's grip.
"Listen, dude. You're Tris' brother. I'm not going with you. If you need to look in my beautiful, dirty mind, you should send someone else." He says.
"Okay, fine. But you will come one way or another." Caleb leaves the room, locking the door behind him.
I collapse into Tobias' arms, crying. My mother is dead. My brother betrayed me.
"Shhh, Tris. It'll be okay." Tobias tries to comfort me.
"No it won't! They killed my mother! They're going to kill you and Uri! My brother betrayed me! Nothing's okay."
"What about you? They're going to kill you too. I can't live without you." Tobias presses his lips to my temple. I bury my head in his chest and we stay that way until we hear the door open again. Caleb isn't there. Instead it is a Factionless man wearing Dauntless clothing. Peter.
"Peter? What are you doing here?" I ask.
"Helping the Erudite kill the Divergents. I get to help kill you now even better. Four?" Peter notices Tobias standing next to me. "Never would've expected you. Are you together now or something?"
"Peter, where ha you been? We've been together."
"I've been Factionless thanks to Four over here!" Peter yells at me. "That's low, Stiff. Sleeping with the instructor for better ranks. That is low."
Tobias just feel me tense up next to him because he tightens his grip around my shoulders. "Tris deserved her rank. She was obviously the best at everything we did and she is brave and didn't try to kill anyone because they were beating her in the initiate ranking."
Peter looks like he is about to say something, but turns to Uriah instead. "Come with me."
Uriah reluctantly follows Peter out of the room, mouthing 'help me' on his way out. I wish I could. After a few minutes of silence, Tobias speaks up.
"How about we do something? You know, take our minds off of things." Tobias suggests.
"Sure. What do you want to do?" I'll do anything to stop thinking about the fact Tobias is going to die.
"I dunno. 20 questions?"
"Sure. You start."
"What's your favorite color?"
"Black. What's your middle name?"
"Cato. When did you realize you liked me?"
"I'm not sure." I shrug. "A little before your choosing ceremony, I guess. Why do you like me? I know I'm not pretty. You could have someone so much better."
"Oh, Trissy. I like you because you're brave." He kisses my cheek. "Intelligent." He kisses my other cheek. "Selfless." He kisses my forehead. "The best person I've ever met." He kisses the top of my nose. "And you're the most beautiful girl I ever met." He fits his mouth to mine. I kiss him back, running my hands through his hair. His arms wrap around my waist. We completely forget about the game.
A few minutes later, the door creaks open, but Tobias and I both completely ignore it until we hear screaming.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOURE DOING WITH MY SISTER?" I pull back and look at Caleb who is in the doorway, fuming.
"I'm kissing her. Why? Do you got a problem with that?" Tobias stands up and walks over to Caleb, crossing his arms. He is about a half foot taller than Caleb and is all muscle.
"Yes I do. She's my little sister. She should not be alone in a room kissing some guy who is two years older then her!"
"You are not my brother anymore, Caleb. A real brother would get me out of a situation like this. At least try to! Not help the other side!" I yell.
"Come on, Beatrice. It's your turn."
"My name is Tris."
"I will not ask again, Tris." Caleb spits out my nickname.
"Where's Uriah?"
"They are finishing with him. He will be brought back here shortly and you will all be executed together."
I wrap my arms around Tobias. "I love you." I tell him as I kiss him, possibly for the last time.
"I love you too. I'll see you soon."
Caleb grabs my arm and drags me out of the room, leaving Tobias alone. I fight back tears as I see am unconscious Uriah being dragged by.
He's unconscious, but at least he's alive.
Once the hall is cleared, Caleb looks at me as we walk. "I thought you were raised better then that, Beatrice."
"For the last time, my name is Tris!" I yell.
"I don't care who you are. You were raised better then to make out with random guys, especially guys who are older then you!"
"You and I both know I would've never stayed in Abnegation. I was too selfish. Also, I snuck out of the house every night since I was twelve to meet Tobias in the woods to train with him. Throwing knives, hand to hand combat, running, everything. When he left, I kept doing the same. You think you're so smart, yet you don't even know that your sister was sneaking out every night meeting with a guy to go against the faction's rules and train for another faction's initiation. You're a disgrace to Erudite, Caleb. You are."
Caleb slaps me, but I grab his arm and flip him. He lands on the floor with a thud and I give him a quick kick to the head to knock him out. No one is around, so I run. I go to Tobias and I's apartment and I quickly put on a disguise. As quickly as I can, I apply a think layer of makeup and I get a hat to tie up my hair in. Once I am practically un recognizable, I grab two extra black hats and some other things that could quickly disguise Tobias and Uriah. I also make sure to arm myself with three fully loaded guns and a few knives.
I then run out of my apartment and run straight into someone. I fall and the person helps me up.
"Christina!" I gasp.
"Sorry, who are you?" She asks.
"Good." I mumble under my breath. The disguise works. "It's me, Tris." I say a little louder. "Listen, I don't have time to explain, but Tobias and Uriah are in danger. So am I. You need to help me."
"Tobias?"
"Four."
Christina nods. "Let's go."
We run as fast as we can to the room where Tobias and Uriah are, where I was held captive before. I open the door and Tobias jumps up. Uriah stays sitting on the ground, but he is awake now.
"Tobias! Uriah! Come with us. Now." I command.
"I don't trust you." Tobias says stubbornly.
"It's me, Tris. Put on these disguises. Quickly." I throw them each a few things. I grab two of the three guns out of my belt. I hand one to Tobias and one to Uriah and they out the guns in their belt. I also give them each a knife. Christina gets one two. I grabbed four knives before I left the apartment.
Tobias helps Uriah to his feet and they run to the door.
"Hurry." I say as we leave. "We have to get out of the compound. Perhaps out of the city." I turn to Christina. "Chris, go get the others, if you want. Will, Zeke, Shauna, Marlene, and Lynn. As for us three," I turn to Tobias where he is helping support Uriah up. "We have to get out of here immediately."
They all nod and Christina runs off to find the others. Uriah is slowing us down, so Tobias just picks him up and we run. We almost reach the doors leading out of the compound when we are stopped. I grab my gun out of my belt. Tobias and Uriah do the same.
"Freeze." The voice says sternly. "Drop your weapons or I will fire."
A/N- ah the beauty in cliffhangers. Something like An Imperial Affliction (from The Fault In Our Stars).
