Did anyone notice I didn't give that guy who welcomed Tris a name? His name is Doctor Nathan, but people call him Nate. He's a young adult, about twenty.

TOBIAS POV

I bite my nails as Zeke begins to talk.

"You don't remember?" he asks, sitting down on the couch. I shake my head. I'm surprised Zeke didn't get drunk, he's normally the one to get drunk at parties like these.

Oh, Tris. She's been gone for two days, and nothing has helped me. I miss her so bad.

"Well, I dared you to have, like, eight beers or something" he says, putting his elbows on his knees, "then you got drunk and kissed some girl named May and-"

"What?" I screech. He nods, "Yah man you-"

"What if Tris saw?" I ask, biting my lip, "What if that's the reason she's gone?"

"Come on, she's not that kind of person" Zeke says casually, "I mean-"
"No" I say, my voice raising every time I speak, "That's exactly the kind of person she is, If you saw Shauna kissing another guy, you would be angry-"

"But" he interrupts, holding up his pointer finger, "I wouldn't storm out of the compound"

"SHE'S FREAKING GONE ZEKE! I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE HELL SHE IS, OR IF SHE'S OKAY!" I yell loudly, standing up from the chair, my brain filled with thoughts of anger. I crack my knuckles. Oh, how good it would feel to punch Zeke in the face.

"Geez" he says, putting up his hands in defense, "Listen I know you're worried, but we'll find her. She couldn't have actually left the compound"

I sit back and bit my thumb and mumble, "I highly doubt it"

"You know man" he says to me, "I don't know what we're going to do to find her. There's no way we can communicate to her-"

I burry my face in my hands, "I don't know what to do" I say, "I love her. I made a huge mistake, and now it sounds nearly impossible to fix"

I feel empty. Something inside me feels strange. I feel only half full. I love Tris to the moon and back. I have no idea how far the moon is from here, but it must be a long way .A kiss. All I want right now is a kiss from her. I need her.

"I was going to say" Zeke says, raising his eyebrows, "We can get people to look for her. We'll spread the word. There's no way that anyone is going to deny looking for the famous Six"

I bite my lip, "I hope you're right"

TRIS POV

"We've been wanting to test this formula out on a Divergent" Nate says, "so, make yourself comfortable"

I hop up on the metal table, and say, "Done"

He walks over to the table and grabs a syringe with red liquid inside of it. I bite my lip and gulp. He walks over to me, and places a hand on my shoulder, "Remember, try to fight it as much as possible, if you feel your body do something without you thinking about it, it means the simulation is working. If you can control what you're doing, say something like, 'it's not working'"

He lets go and the needle begins to poke my skin, until he pushes the needle all the way in, and I feel a little pain, but barely. He removes the needle and I look around.

Nate walks over to a table with some sort of screen on it, and taps it a few times.

"Alright" he says, then louder "Tris, stand"

I don't feel anything. It's not working.

I bite my lip, "Nate, it didn't work"

He lets out some noise that seems like a mix of a grunt and a sigh, and then says, "It worked immediately on some Erudite. What a strange kind you are. Ever had a boyfriend back at the compound?"

I bite my lip and the visions come back. Tobias kissing another girl.

"Yah" I say, "But, he's the reason I came here. He was kissing another girl "But I still love him. Why?

Nate nods and says, "Let's go, and try some more syringes need to catch lunch"

PAGE BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKK!

By the second day, me and Nate are good friends.

"He's here?" I ask, biting my lip.

"Of course Caleb's here! He's the fourth smartest Erudite we have!" Nate says, then leans in a little closer "May be you two could meet up"

I bite my lip and toss my head to the side, "Nah, we never got along at home"

It's true. He never helped me when I was being abused, but he never hurt me.

"That's too bad" Nate says, "He seems like a nice guy"

"What about you?" I ask, "I'm sure you have siblings"

"No, I was an only child" he says, taking a sip of coffee. He looks at the nearest sundial, and says, "It's almost three, time to try more syringes"

I stand up and head towards the lab, and say, "Nate, can I send my friends a letter?"

He smiles, "Of course"

TOBIAS POV

"Four!" Christina yells, banging on my door. I walk to the door, and put my hand on the knob. Why don't I open it?

"Open up! We've got something! About Tris!" I turn the knob quickly and open the door.

"What is it?" I ask. She invites herself in, and quickly plops down on the couch, with a letter in her hand.

"I was waiting until I got here to open it" she says, ripping open the envelope, and I sit down next to her.

She opens the folded piece of paper, reads it, and hands it to me, biting her lip.

She purses her lips together, and her eyebrows draw together.

It reads:

Hey Christina,

I have to apologize for leaving so suddenly again, but I'm actually having a good time here! I met this guy named Nate who's helping out with the project. I do miss you, and Will and the others. By now, you should know why I left. Please don't slap Four or anything, he's a good guy, he just deserved more than me. And everybody knew it.

Back to where I am, I'm fine, so please don't worry. Don't look for me. Also, I finally am going to meet my brother after a long time.

So, take care, I'll write more letters, probably, it depends on Nate

Tris

The words echo in my head. By now, you should know why I left. Please don't slap Four or anything, he's a good guy, he just deserved more than me. And everybody knew it.

No Tris. I don't deserve you. I don't deserve anything after what I've done. I bite my lip to contain a sob and I try to fight back tears. I hand the letter back to Christina, and her eyes widen in excitement.

"Four!" she says excitedly.

"Why are you so happy? This is a depressing note" I say, wanting to cry.

"You know where Tris' brother is, is where she is, right?" Christina says.

Oh. My. God. Christina does have an Erudite side.

"Where is her brother?" I ask, biting my lip, smiling. I can't believe it, I can find my Tris. Then I'll explain everything and we'll be fine. We'll be back to kissing under the moonlight. Right?

She sucks in a breath.

"I think it was Erudite"

OMG. Divergent comes out August 5th. As a special treat, I will be holding a contest. A mini contest, and see if anyone can write a summary for my story. Winner will be announced August 5th. It can't be more than 384 letters. As you can tell, I suck at making summaries. PM me if you have a summary!
