A/N- thank you so much for over 24K reads.
Also, just so you guys know, this story will be done soon. I'm guessing only about another 5 chapters.
Thank you so much for all of the support, even though I have no clue why I'm thanking you guys and it's not even the end of the story yet. Oh well.
I listened to 5SOS while writing this chapter. Do you think listening to Ed Sheeran or 5SOS makes my writing better?
my sister's friend is at my house right now and as a late birthday present, she gave me like over 100 One Direction posters she got out of magazines. She is amazing.
For those of you who are scared of what I'm planning for the characters, yours smart. You should be scared.
Disclaimer- I don't own Divergent.
Tris' POV:
I wake up alone, the other side of the bed cold. My eyes open and I remember that Tobias is in Abnegation with his family. I groan and get out of bed and check the clock.
It says 7:42.
I'm supposed to be at work in the control room by 8:00.
I take the fastest shower possible of human history and skip breakfast, making it to the control room just as the clock turns from 7:59 to 8:00. I just now realize how lucky I am to normally have Tobias to make sure I am up and get to work on time. I let out a breath and Zeke turns around.
"Almost late, Four. Have a good excuse?" He asks.
"Tobias normally wakes me up. He's not here, so I got up late."
"Where'd he go anyway? No one ever told me."
"To Abnegation." I say. "His father was killed by some Factionless man and he went to be with his mum and brother for a few days." I shrug.
"That sucks." Zeke replies. "Let's get to work, shall we?"
A few hours later, Zeke finally let's me out for a lunch break. I race to the cafeteria, starving from missing breakfast and working for so long. When I get there, I grab a huge slice of Dauntless cake and a hamburger. I take the food to our regular table and eat it very quickly. Christina is eyeing me.
"Why are you so hungry?" She asks.
"Didn't get breakfast and Zeke was torturing me in the control room."
She laughs. "Ha. You should've decided to work in the Dauntless fashion shops like me."
"Ummm I'll pass." I reply.
Christina shrugs and continues to eat her food. I check the clock and see that I have to get back to the control room. Stupid Zeke only have me a 5 minute lunch break.
"I've got to go. I'll see you later." I say, getting up.
"Hey Four!" I turn around again. "An alarm clock may be useful."
I roll my eyes at Christina and run over to the control room. Zeke is sitting in his chair with his feet up on the desk.
"You know, Zeke," I begin. "5 minutes is hardly enough time for a girl to eat."
I take my seat in front of the computers I'm supposed to use. Zeke just shrugs and continues to do whatever he was doing before. It looks like he's stalking someone.
"Who are you stalking, Zeke?" I ask, not expecting him to answer.
"Shauna. She's so pretty, isn't she?" He says dreamily.
"Ooh does little Zekey have a crush?" I say like a little kid.
"What are you? Five?"
"No. I'm Four." I laugh to myself and Zeke rolls his eyes at me. "Anyway, when are you planning on asking her out?"
"I don't know. I'm not sure if she likes me back."
"Leave that up to me and Chris."
"I thought she hates when you call her that."
"She does."
"Just get back to work. I finished showing you what to do this morning."
I nod and turn to my computers until Christina runs in the room, looking panicked.
"What is it?" I ask.
"Four. It's Will."
Tobias' POV:
My work at finding out who killed my father isn't going very well. I've been all over the Factionless sectors of the city asking people if they saw it happen and no one has. I'm starting to give up hope of ever finding the murderer.
"Hello, sir. Can I help you?" I turn to a woman's voice. She is a middle aged Factionless woman who strangely looks very familiar.
"Do I know you?" I ask her.
"No. I know you, though, Tobias Prior."
"Who are you?"
"Evelyn Johnson."
Evelyn? "You're supposed to be dead."
"I faked my death. I had to leave Marcus."
"Then why the hell didn't you take your daughter with you? Do you know what she's been through?" My anger begins to rise.
"She needed to grow up in a faction."
"Then why didn't you stay to protect her?" I yell.
"You have no right to talk to me like that, Tobias."
"I can talk to you however the hell I want to talk to you."
"Now, Mr Prior, why are you here?"
"A Factionless man murdered my father. I am here to find out who it is and put an end to them."
"I am the leader of the Factionless and I assure you, none of us are murderers."
"You know nothing. I'm out of here." I turn and walk off, without letting Evelyn say anything else.
I walk home and my mother runs to me as soon as I enter the door.
"Where were you, Tobias? I was starting to get worried!" She exclaims.
"I am sorry I worried you, mother. I was in the Factionless sector trying to find dad's murderer. Instead I just found that Evelyn is alive and left Marcus to live Factionless and left her daughter with him." I say angrily.
"I'm sorry, Tobias. That was wrong of her. You shouldn't have been there. What if he attacked you too?"
"I would kill him." I say through my gritted teeth.
My mother doesn't say anything. She just nods her head and walks back into the kitchen, probably to prepare a meal for her, Caleb, and I. I walk upstairs to my old room where I have been staying and lay on my bed, planning different ways to kill someone in my head.
Andrew Prior's POV: (before the attack)
I slowly walk home from a hard day at work. I was covering for Marcus today. The poor man. His only daughter left ohm for the recklessness of Dauntless. He still isn't even over Evelyn's death from ten years ago.
I am just passing one of the Factionless' sectors when I hear something behind me. I turn around to find myself face to face with a man and a knife is held to my throat.
"Are you Andrew Prior?" He asks harshly.
"I am. Who are you?" I reply Stiffly. (Hehe no pun intended)
The man removes the knife. "This is because your son, Tobias, will never love me." He snarled before entering the knife into my chest. I immediately spit out blood and collapse to the ground.
The last thing I see is a pink shirt before coldness floods my veins and the darkness behind my eyelids explodes into stars.
