Sorry guys I've been camping...so here is the update it took forever to get you.

Chapter 21

Tobias and I stand on the roof, my eyes trailing the sunset behind him, "has Evelyn said anything?"

"No," he leans against the parapet, his lips twitch into a frown. "Hasn't said a word."

"Do you think she's upset?" I run my hand through my hair and shift my gaze to his.

He shrugs, "perhaps. I think she is more taken back that I told her I wouldn't help her overthrow the factions. I don't want a war, I want to get back to my life. Whether that be in Abnegation...or anywhere else."

I understand what he is saying, both of us don't know where we will belong once this is all over. "Do you think we could fit in with them?"

"With who?"

"Honestly," I shake my head, "I'm not sure anymore. We chose to stay in Abnegation, yet here we are being Dauntless. Will we ever fit into one?"

"Tris, we aren't Dauntless or Abnegation. We've both known that since before this attack ever happened." Tobias scowls despite the fact that he's right. We are Divergent; we never fit perfectly into Abnegation and we probably wouldn't have fit perfectly into Dauntless.

"Maybe we can run away," I laugh a little, "maybe we can leave and live outside the gates. We could defend ourselves, be self-sufficient."

The ends of his lips form a smirk, "I guess." Tobias pulls me to him, "I will go wherever you are happy." The hatch leading to the roof flips open and a mass of curly brown hair is followed by a pair of dark darting eyes looks straight ahead. "Hey Uriah...You know we can see you?"

"You see nothing." He looks around realizing that we did in fact see him and drags himself up and lays down against the floor of the roof, "I come with some news."

"Which is?" I sit down beside him and poke him in the gut, he makes a gagging sound and tips his head back.

"We are going to Candor. To meet with the other Dauntless and decide our fates and choices as a faction. But I need to ask you something?"

A frown settles onto my face, they are leaving us here with the Factionless. I glance at Tobias to see the same frown upon his face. "Oh. I'm guessing you're asking some provisions for your trip soon then?"

Uriah shakes his head, "I wanted to know if you and Tobias wanted to come with us?"

My eyes widen and settle on Tobias, they want us to go with them. The look in his eyes gives me our answer, "yes, of course...What about Susan?"

"It's Sunny now." Tobias says. He nods to Uriah, "but she is right. We can't leave her here."

Uriah nods, "I think the others won't mind if she comes, but let me talk to them and let you know." He sits up and smiles at us, "see you later." Tobias and I follow him inside and choose to skip dinner, excitement for our trip keeping us from wanting to eat. Uriah whispers something to Tobias and tells us Sunny can go before disappearing from view. Tobias and I fall into bed early while everyone else prepares for sleep.

Tobias wraps his arms around me, "are we going?"

"Yeah, they said Sunny can go. Nothing is stopping us." I lay my head against his shoulder, "will the other Dauntless accept us like these ones have?"

Tobias closes his eyes, "I'm not sure. But I think we will prove ourselves like we have already."

"When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow."

My grip on my backpack has my flushed my knuckles white. Zeke leads us to the Candor Headquarters, it's letters missing and the lack of color making it seem more empty than it is. It once said Merchandise Mart, however now some of the letters are missing and it now looks like Merciless Mart. Which I think is closer to the truth of Candor, their honestly is without mercy. Without any kindness. Zeke nears the doors to be greeted by three Candor who move towards the group of us.

Tobias takes my hand and slips his fingers between mine as one of the Candor speak, "welcome to Candor. You are all under arrest."

They escort us into the Merciless mart and force us to sit in a line of chairs facing a table with a chair on either side and a small briefcase. One of the Candor faces us, "I'm John, I will be interrogating you all."

"Interrogate?" I ask, "why? We've done nothing wrong."

He looks to me and his lips form a thin line, "four of you were involved with the Simulation. The others might also have something to do with it. Besides in order to stay here for refuge we need to make sure you bear no secrets."

We need to make sure you bear no secrets. My divergence. They are going to make me admit to being Divergent. My insides feel like their being twisted by a fork, intertwined, pulled, and stretched. I wipe my sweaty palms over my jeans and glance at Tobias. His body is so tense that his back looks like someone fused his spine with a metal rod like the one I had seen in Factionless to hold up pieces of furniture. The Candor man's lips peel back into a cold and cruel smile, "why don't we begin with the Dauntless traitor." His eyes point to Zeke and I can see how angry he is with that accusation.

Zeke doesn't make a point to stand, "I am not a traitor." He spits the words with a venom I didn't know Zeke had.

"We will see about that," John motions for him to go to the table and takes his place in the chair next to the briefcase. Zeke slowly stands and follows and plunks into the seat across from the Candor. "In Candor we have chosen to accept refugees from the other factions. However we use the Truth Serum as a...test. To make sure you aren't a threat to our faction or the refugees we house."

Zeke allows the Candor to inject the serum without so much as flinching. John leans forward against the table, "let's start simple. What's your name?"

"Zeke Pedrad."

"What faction are you in?"

Zeke rolls his eyes, "Dauntless."

"You were controlling the Simulation when Erudite attacked. Is that true?"

"Yes," he growls.

John nods, "were you forced to control the simulation?"

"Yes, I was under simulation and manipulated to run the computers."

"According to the tapes," the Candor licks his lips and gives another cruel smile, "you were in the computer room and then fought when someone tried to stop you. What happened?"

"I was under simulation, I didn't see things clearly. It wasn't until I was nearly beaten unconscious and forced to end the simulation that I snapped out of it."

John nods and looks at Zeke carefully, "is there anything else you would like to share with me?"

"I'm innocent."

"I see," his gaze shifts to the line of us sitting in the chairs against the wall and then back to Zeke. "Go on and meet the other Dauntless. Thank you for your honesty."

Zeke stands and walks to the crowd of Dauntless who cheer and embrace him wildly. The Candor man, John, looks to the wall and calls Uriah next, "the accomplice please make your way to the chair."

Uriah rolls his eyes and stands up, he is Divergent and if he can resist, maybe all of us can manipulate the simulation. Uriah sits down and handles the needle without even blinking. John sits down and clasps his hands in front of him, "what is your name?"

"Uriah Pedrad." Uriah relaxes after the first question although he resists whenever John asks him about something personal, something he doesn't want to share with the world. Eventually though he gives in. Uriah stands and leaves to the crowd of Dauntless that scream and embrace him. John nods and looks towards Tobias and I, "sir, come next please."

Tobias lips turn down as he makes his way to the chair. I can tell by the look in his eye he is going to resist every single question asked, Tobias and I are very private people and in Abnegation that was normal. He shuts his eyes as he is given the serum, John takes a breath, "what is your name?"

There is silence for a moment, Tobias trying to fight the serum. "Tobias Eaton."

"Son of Marcus Eaton."

Tobias clenches his fists, "yes."

"What faction are you in?"

Tobias frowns and chews his lip, it must be hard to resist this serum because both Uriah and Tobias tried to fight it and failed. "Abnegation."

"How," John searches for his words, "do you know Uriah and Zeke Pedrad?"

Tobias frowns and tries as hard as he can to fight. "Best friend and friend."

"Did you help Uriah Pedrad break into Dauntless and end the simulation?"

"Yes." Tobias didn't fight to give up that answer.

John nods and twists his black tie between his fingers, "Why aren't you with the other Abnegation in Amity?"

"I chose not to stay." His words are short and clipped, he is giving all he has to fight the serum. I wonder if I will have to do the same.

"Thank you for your honesty." Tobias stands and straightens his shirt before giving me a pointed look and standing a few feet from the table near me. John casts me a wicked glance, "last but not least, young lady."

I sit down, my eyes widen at the sight of the needle administering the serum. When I saw it from afar it wasn't nearly as large as it is now. I wince at the stabbing pain and the fire of burning pain I get from it. In Dauntless they use serums all the time, if I had switched there would I take this needle without even blinking. John's lips peel back to that terrifying smile. "What's your name."

I blink, Tris Prior or Beatrice Prior? I consider the two and decide on who I am, not who I was. "Tris Prior."

Recognition flashes in his eyes, does he know my father? "Is that your full name?" John must have seen my mental debate by the way he is looking over me.

"Yes." I lie. Lie? I thought I was supposed to tell the truth under this serum, to not be able to lie. I try to keep a smile from my lips, I can resist this serum.

John nods, "and what is your relation to Zeke Pedrad and Uriah Pedrad?"

"Close friends."

"And your relation to Tobias Eaton."

"I'm his girlfriend."

He nods, "what faction are you in?"

"Abnegation."

John adjusts his suit jacket, "why aren't you with the other Abnegation in Amity?"

"I chose not to stay." Copying Tobias words doesn't work in my favor.

"Why did you choose not to stay?"

I arch my eyebrow, "it was my choice."

"But, why Ms. Prior?"

He can't know about the Factionless, while I don't agree with Evelyn, I also can't let them destroy the only possible chance we have of fighting Erudite. "Simple, I won't leave my boyfriend."

John rolls his eyes, as if this is the obvious answer. "Thank you for your honesty."

I stand and take Tobias hand as we wait for Sunny to be questioned. He leans towards me, "how did you resist the serum?"

A smile settles on my lips, "I don't know. I just did."

He nods and takes a glance back at the large cluster of people clad in black, cheering and yelling. It's loud and distracting, but a piece of me loves it. Maybe all of me could love it, if I was here long enough. Someone claps me on the back and I turn to see Uriah, "when Sunny is done, I have a few people I want you to meet."

Once she has finished her questioning the three of us weave through the crowd of Dauntless, following Uriah to a group of Dauntless sitting on the floor playing some type of game."Guys, I want you to meet three friends of mine. Tris, Tobias, and Sunny."

The group turns and smiles, I notice one of them is the woman that gave me my aptitude test. I rack through my head and remember her name, Tori. She stands and throws her hair over her shoulder, "well aren't you two a sight for sore eyes."

I arch my eyebrow and turn to see Tobias with a surprised look on his face. Tori glances between us, "maybe we should talk." Tori leads us outside and explains how she was the test administrator for both of us. And starts to explain that we weren't really safe no matter where we switched because of the attack on Abnegation. Tori stops and looks at us once we are outside, "the two of you need to be careful even here. Who you are is still dangerous.''

I nod, "so we should still try to hide it."

Tori nods, "the Erudite have requested that everyone like you turn themselves in."

"Do you think we are crazy?" I ask. "I wouldn't turn myself into them."

"Just be careful," Tori sets a hand on my shoulder and on Tobias arm. "We are not safe here and Jeanine will stop at nothing to kill you and everyone like you. They want you dead."

My insides start to feel like their being twisted with a fork again, they want you dead.
