Hi guys. I have done some thinking and I am not ready to stop writing this story. It was my very first fanfiction almost five years ago. I have lost a lot of motivation because I am no longer as obsessed with Divergent as I was as a 14 year old. Nevertheless, I am here to finish what I've started. There will be two more chapters in this story, and then it will end. I'm so sorry for the long wait and I can't think you enough if you have stayed with me through the years. I have other stories going on so go ahead and check them out. Anyway, enjoy.
Tris POV:
I wake up alone, probably the worst way to do so. I roll around, taking in the warmth that is on the other side of the bed, meaning I just missed Tobias. I listen for the shower, and get a little anxious as I don't hear it running. Panic makes its way up to me before I remember he had a meeting scheduled. I relax against my bed once more, trying to get a few more minutes in bed before I am forced awake by my duties.
Today is a big day for the initiates. Their fear simulation in front of the leaders. The final test.
The thought brings me back my own test, the anxious atmosphere, the judging leaders, but most importantly, the fear. The fear that I wouldn't be good enough. The fear the Tobias would be embarrassed of me, or regret what we had. The fear that they would find out that I was divergent. It encompassed me. But I got through it, and I know the initiates can do as well. I'm excited to see them perform.
I slowly make my way out of bed and jump in the shower. After, I dress and get ready. I am heading out the door, debating on where to go. I could go to the cafeteria and get breakfast, or I could meet Tobias. His meeting is most likely almost out and I could wait for him and we could walk to breakfast together.
I make my way towards the meeting, thinking about last night.
Tobias is so thoughtful. I never expected to find anyone in my life that I could truly love, unconditionally. Someone that I could be myself with 100 percent. He is truly my rock, the person that gives my life meaning and value. I can't imagine it without him.
I am lost in my thoughts as I hear footsteps approaching. I am confused as most people would be at breakfast and this is not a busy part of the compound for most people. I turn around, but don't see anyone.
Hmmmm, I think to myself. That's odd.
I push it out of my mind and look towards the door. The meeting should be out any minute now.
A second later, I feel something hard hit my head and before I am able to scream or make any sort of noise, I feel myself go dark. All I see is black.
Zeke POV:
"Uri! Uri, Wake Up!" I yell, shaking my brother. My head feels awful and I think I might throw up.
Uri opens his eyes and I can tell he doesn't feel much better.
"What happened?" he asks groggily.
I rack my head, trying to remember anything about last night. I remember playing with shaunna in target practice and then heading home to get changed. I remember bumping in Uriah and planning to scare him.
My eyes bulge out of my head as I remember what happened next. By the look on Uriah's face, he does too.
"What did they do to us?" he screeches. "The last thing I remember is needing to talk to Tris and Tobias. Oh no, " his face takes on a scared expression. "He's gonna hurt Tris!"
"They must have drugged us or something," I tell him, getting up and making my way towards the door. "I didn't think they saw us but Peter must have."
We race down the halls, sprinting with all our might. We make our way to the leadership meeting. As we approach the room, I see a crumbled form on the floor and my heart sinks in my chest. A figure in black and sneaking away, seemingly at ease at the fact they didn't get caught.
My instinct take over and I push faster than I ever have.
Uri makes his way over to Tris and I see Josh's eyes widen as he notices us.
I tackle him to the floor before he has the chance to run. He throws a punch at my face which I block and I try and pin him, but he is fiesty. He throws another punch, this one landing on my cheek, stunning me for a seconds as he throws me off. He runs to my and kicks my side, momentarily winding me, keeping me immobile on the floor.
I hear Uri rushing to my aid and cringe as I see my little brother take on this monster. I try my best to get up, to help Uri, but I think my ribs are broken and I am unable to move.
Tris is still out on the floor and Uri is quickly losing the upper hand. I feel a pain in my chest as I take on the sight before me. Uri is my brother, my best friend. I am supposed to be the one protecting him, helping him, making sure he turns out to be the best he can, and here I am lying helplessly on the floor.
Josh has Uri pinned on the floor, and I can see him rear up for a final blow.
"Uri!" I scream, "No! Please!".
My scream startles Josh, providing the few seconds needed.
The door to the meeting flies open and Tobias comes sprinting out. He takes one look at the position of everyone and a fire embarks behind his eyes.
He runs over to Josh and throws him off Uriah. I crawl as best I can over to Uriah, and he gives me a grimace of a smile. I hug him and thank whatever gods that he is okay.
A loud crash makes us both look up and we see Peter jump on Four. He must have been lurking in the shadows and joined to help Josh take down Four.
Uri scrambles up as best he can and staggers towards them, but it is too late as Josh, who has backed away pulls out a gun and aims for Four.
A scream is caught in my throat and time seems to stand still. I look around desperately for anything that can save my best friend in this moment. There is nothing.
The scream rips its way through my body as I hear the gun go off and a body crumble to the floor. But it wasn't Four. It was Tris.
Okay so here it is. We have one chapter left and I am excited to see what you guys think. I'm so ready to end this story, completely finish it. My first work thoroughly completed. Enjoy the process guys. I'll be back soon for a final show. Love you guys - Mack
