Chapter 25: Revenge of Christina
Caleb POV
"Those fear simulations are really intense," I said to my sister, girlfriend and friends at our usual table during dinner. I noticed that Will and Lynn are getting really cozy together, especially since Will asked Lynn to be his girlfriend between stages one and two. Today's simulation was watching my family die.
'Uriah's was really funny," Suzy said. "Eric told me that Uriah had the exact same fear as Zeke did during their initiation."
"Um, let me guess, the kitchen ran out of Dauntless cake?" Tris asked.
"Yep, that's the fear," Suzy said before turning to Uriah. "Uriah, what fear did you got during your fear simulation today?"
"Oh, it was so horrible," Uriah said. "I went to the dessert line to get some Dauntless cake as I usually do for each meal. When I went up to the counter, I said that I want a slice of Dauntless cake but Rod, the pastry chef, said that we are out of Dauntless cake. Worse, he told me that one of our leaders had it removed from the menu permanently."
Uriah was on full-on crying mode as he told his fear while we laughed at it.
"It's not funny," Uriah said. "Eric laughed about it yesterday and Tobias laughed about it today. The only one that understands my fear is Zeke."
"The only reason why Zeke understands your fear is because he has the exact same fear," Eric said as he sat down next to Suzy. "I just simply don't understand the Pedrad brothers' obsession with Dauntless cake."
"You could blame their obsession with Dauntless cake on me," Hana said as she joined us. "When I was pregnant with both boys, I craved Dauntless cake, which is my theory why they are obsessed with it. Hell, even Uriah's first word was cake."
"Hana, I think it's a Pedrad thing," Mia said. "I been pregnant with little Johanna for eight months and she been wanting Dauntless cake, just like her daddy."
This talk of Dauntless cake has made me want some. It sucks being from Abnegation, where my twin and I were deprived of having any sweets. We could not even have candy because it was self-indulgent. Ever since I defected from Erudite, I been wanting Dauntless cake all the time.
"Hey, I am going to get some dessert," I said.
"Bring me back some Dauntless cake," Uriah said.
I nodded at Uriah and went up to the desserts line to grab a whole Dauntless cake. Knowing Uriah, he would want a large piece or even worse, the whole cake. I grabbed the cake and returned to the table.
"Caleb, thank you for bringing me a WHOLE Dauntless cake," Uriah said.
"The cake is for everyone, not just you, Uriah," I replied. I cut the cake into slices and passed them around. Of course, Uriah been stealing bites from every cake.
"Uriah, if you keep stealing bites from other people's slices, I will have Dauntless cake removed from the menu permanently," Eric said in a threating tone.
"Please, don't remove Dauntless cake from the menu," Uriah pleaded.
Eric POV
I love messing with the Pedrad brothers, especially when I can use their fear of the kitchen not having Dauntless cake to get them to shut up or in Uriah's case, stop stealing other people's Dauntless cakes.
I looked over and saw that Harrison and Tobias is trying to pin someone down.
"Excuse me, I need to help Harrison and Tobias with something," I said. Everyone nodded their heads and returned to eating. I kissed Suzy on the top of her head before I joined Harrison and Tobias.
"What is going on?" I asked.
"Well, this factionless woman has decided to break into Dauntless," Harrison said. "Bud, Amar, George and Zeke are pulling up two bodies from the chasm while Gus sent the video to Jack."
"Molly and Drew are worthless, and they don't belong in Dauntless," the factionless woman said. "I regained my memories and helped Jeanine escape and took care of David by giving him the death serum. She told me to get rid of Peter's worthless friends and make it look like a suicide, which I did by tossing them in the chasm. Now, I am seeking my revenge on the three people that gave me the memory serum and left me in the factionless sector."
That means that Christina is back and wants her revenge on Caleb, Suzy and me. Not only Christina's back, but Jeanine also escaped.
"Not only that, Jeanine told me that they are Divergent, and they deserve to die, so it's perfect," Christina said. "She gets rid of more Divergents and I seek my revenge at the same time."
"Tobias, take her to Candor," Harrison said. "Tell Jack we have a former Dauntless initiate that failed stage one of training that broke into Dauntless and charge her with helping a prisoner escape, two counts of murder and three counts of conspiracy to commit murder. Eric, I am placing heavy security in Dauntless and I am going to talk to the initiates when Tobias get back from Candor."
Harrison POV
The following morning, the initiates, Eric, Tobias, George, Amar, Natalie, Hana and I are gathered in the training room.
"What is going on?" Will asked.
"Listen, everyone," I said. "Last night, Christina broke in Dauntless and she was on a mission to kill four initiates and a Dauntless leader after helping Jeanine escape from the Candor jail."
"How can she do that when she lost her memory?" Caleb asked.
"It seems that she somehow regained her memory," Tobias said. "She told us and later admitted under truth serum that she helped Jeanine escape and kill David. After that happened, she even admitted that Jeanine told her to kill two Dauntless initiates because of their incompetence, which she was successful by pushing Molly and Drew in the chasm."
"In case anyone is wondering, their bodies are sent to Candor so that their families should have a funeral for them," I said. "Christina also confessed that she wanted to kill a Dauntless leader and two initiates, who are not going to be named for their own protection. Jeanine thought that it was a good idea since those three are Divergent."
The initiates and the leadership knew who the three that Jeanine wanted killed, but in case someone is still working for Jeanine, I am not risking having their names leaked.
"So, why are you telling us all of this?" Edward asked.
"As Dauntless, we protect the city," Amar said.
"And we protect our own," Hana said. "The ten of you have been like my own babies ever since you chose Dauntless and every mama would want to protect their children."
"One last question," Tris said. "What happened to Christina?"
"Christina was found guilty of three counts of murder, one count of helping a prisoner escape, one count of conspiracy to assassinate a leader and three counts of conspiracy to commit murder," Tobias said. "She was sentenced to death. She received the death serum two hours ago."
