Chapter 52

D POV

Zeke opens the door for me and I walk in. Everyone turns to look at me and they are all dumbfounded. My four in heels with spikes were clicking against the floor as I walked and I could hear Zeke behind me. I was making my way to all of instructors and the room was still quiet.

"What the hell are you all looking at? Move!" I yell which feels good. I turn to Lane and send her a smile. "So, are any of them good?"

"Well Zahara is pretty good and Rei too." Four says in his instructor tone. He learned that from his instructor Amar, may his soul rest in peace. Actually, knowing Amar, he's probably reigning in hell.

"Aren't you all a little biased?" Zeke asks raising an eyebrow and we all laugh. "So what's up here?"

"Well, we need to talk about something important." Eric says and they all nod in agreement while Zeke and I look very confused.

"What the hell are you all talking about?" I say and they all look at Zeke and I.

"Oh yeah, you two weren't here for lunch." Lane says and then looks at Eric. "You know anything about Elena Parks?"

"Yeah." I respond. "I read all the files about the incoming initiates. Dauntless born, okay in school and her father died."

"Do you know why he died?" Tris asks and I immediately look towards Eric. I know that he did it, but I'm not going to tell all of his secrets in front of everyone. He looks ashamed and I feel sorry for him. Eric has changed so much lately and I'm so proud of him.

"Um…"

"They know D. Elena and Rei are together now. Pretty soon, she's going to tell him and I don't know what to do." Eric says and all of us look at the floor.

"Eric, there's noting you can do. You made the choice and now you have to kill him. Now you have to suffer the consequences." Zeke said and I nodded. He looked sad and I know how he feels. It's the same way I felt about when I had to kill a guy during my initiation because he was threatening my dad.

"He's right." Tris said and we look back at the initiates. I walk past every single one and I can see that they clench up with every click of my heel on the ground. I walk past Zahara and Rei and they are doing pretty well, but as I pass more and more of them, I can already tell who isn't cut out to be here.

"Damn girl nice ass." I hear a guy say and there is always at least one of those in every initiation class. I turn and see it was a pretty boy with dirty blonde hair, with green eyes. I walk up to him and he doesn't look intimidated.

"What's your name?" I ask and I could hear Zeke's footsteps getting closer.

"Aaron." He says. "From Candor."

"Well, Aaron from Candor, do you think that you're good enough to be in dauntless?" I ask and then I feel Zeke put his hands on my hips.

"Hell yeah I am." He says and high fives the guy next to him. They remind me about the guys in Tris' initiation class, the ones who beat her up. He looks me in the eyes, damn candor's.

"Well, you wouldn't mind fighting one of you instructors then." I say and raise and eyebrow. They didn't reach fighting yet, so I'm testing him. That snide smile went away and now he looks as scared as the rest of them.

"What?" He says with his sagging face.

"You heard me. You think you're so presumptuous and dauntless, why don't you prove it? Pick one." I say and he regains his confident demeanor

"Fine." He says as he looks at all of the instructors, then looks to me. "You."

"I'm not an instructor." I say and smirk.

"You afraid? I understand if you are, I mean, I wouldn't want to fight me either."

"You know what, okay. In the ring." I say and walk over there as does he. Zeke walks beside me and before I have a chance to take off my shoes he pulls me to his side.

"What about the baby?" He asks with a concerned look and I kiss him.

"You don't think I can handle myself?" I say and smirk. He grins and he helps me take off my shoes. I was pants and a regular tank top, so it's not like I'm fighting in a dress. I step onto the ring, and by then, everyone was gathered around. He was bouncing up and down like an ape.

"You ready for this rookie?" I ask and smirk, but then he comes charging at me and I move to the side before he can touch me. He's letting his emotions do the fighting, wrong choice. I put up my fists and he walks towards me. He attempts to punch me in the shoulder, but I move and punch him in the stomach. He lets out a groan and regains his structure. He's really mad now, so he comes up to me and tries to punch my face but really, who would ever go for the face? I move and kick his leg which knocked him down. He stood up immediately and he tried to punch me, but then I punched him straight in the cheek. "Aaron, you need to understand this first above all, dauntless is for the brave." I say to him and turn to the rest of the initiation class "Bravery comes in all forms, one of which is knowing your limits. Bravery can be carried out, but first you must know control. Dauntless will teach you that if you let it." With that, I put on my shoes and Zeke and I walked out.

"Well, let's go home." I say and he takes my hand and we walk to pick up our kids from Nadi and Mark, then we walk to the apartment.

Zahara POV

"Okay initiates, you're released for the rest of the day." Tobias yells to the room. "Be on time tomorrow or else." All of the initiates filter out just leaving Rei and I with the rest of the instructors.

"So, this guy Justin… is he cool?" Rei asked me as we waited for our siblings to finish cleaning up so we could all have dinner together.

"What do you mean?"

"Like, do you like him a lot?"

"I think so. I mean, we're spending time together. You know how reserved I am with guys. Considering my childhood, I'm surprised I'm okay with anyone touching me at all." I say to him and he puts a hand on my shoulder.

"I know. Our families are so messed up." Rei says and I nod.

"We're not all messed up." Tris says as her and Eric sit next to us. "You know, I lost count on how many times your older brother saved me. And Eric, he was terrible person before her."

"It's true, I don't know how she saw through all of my shit." Eric said and Rei laughed. "Rei, I need to tell you something."

"Okay, we can go over here." He says and Lane follows them outside while Tobias walks over to us. He sits next to me and puts a hand on my shoulder.

"So, I told you that I had to tell you something during lunch remember?" He asks and looks at Tris.

"You act like I have the worst memory in the world. That was only like four hours ago. I remember." He laughs a little, but I can tell he's nervous. I look at Tris, but she only looks at Tobias. "What's going on?"

"We need to tell you something big, and we don't know how you'll take it." Tris says and then I look back at Tobias and he's just staring at the floor. His hands are folded and he's leaning forward, trying desperately not to look up. "Tobias…"

"It's about our family… What do you know about our mother?" He asks me which startles me.

"She died. What else is there to know?"

"She didn't die." He says and I just look at him. Is the time he spent in dauntless make him insane. Our mother is dead, and I don't know why he believes otherwise. "I know that you think she's dead, but she's not. I talked to her. I've been in contact with her for the past four years."

"What?" I ask appalled. "You're lying. Why would you say something like that?"

"Zahara he's not lying. I was just as shocked as you were."

"No offense Tris, but you have no idea what I'm feeling! Everyone left me, my mother, Tobias, and Marcus beat me. Everything that has happened to me, you have no idea what I'm thinking right now."

"Zahara…" Tobias says trying to grab my arm, but I move out of my chair and towards the door.

"I'll talk to you guys later." I say and with that I ran out of the room and I started running through the halls. I don't stop, so I start running up stairs and before I know it, I'm on the roof above the net. How could someone just leave me with a monster like Marcus? My mother left with and Tobias. Tobias kept this from me. Why do people always leave? Why do people always lie to me? With these thoughts, I jumped.

Rei POV

Eric and Lane took me to their apartment. The walk was silent, so I know something's wrong. I like Eric, he's a cool dude, no matter what he's done in the past. He's good to my sister and he's going to be good to my niece and nephew. We finally get to their apartment and they open the door.

"So Rei, do you want a beer or something?" Eric asked me as he stepped into the kitchen.

"Eric, he's sixteen." Lane protested.

"I started drinking when I was sixteen."

"Look how well that turned out." She said putting her hand on her hip. Oh crap, that's the girl sign for 'back down or I'll beat your ass'.

"I'm good Eric. What did you have to talk to me about?" I say sitting down on their couch. Eric and Lane sit across from me and look at each other before they look at me. "What did I do?"

"You didn't do anything Reign. Eric has something to tell you." Lane says while she looks at Eric. He lets out a sigh and looks me in the eye.

"Rei, I didn't know that your girlfriend was Elena. We actually know each other, from the days when I didn't have your sister." He says and looks me in the eye.

"Okay?" I say confused.

"Okay, I'm just going to say it. Rei, I killed her father." He says and I don't know what to do. Should I punch him? Should I ask questions? Should I hate him? I have no clue what to do with this information.

"Does she know?" I ask as my first thing that I said in five minutes that I have been sitting in silence while I tuned out Lane yelling at Eric; must be the pregnancy hormones because Lane is normally calm and collected.

"Yes, she does. When you two came in at lunch and she looked at me, she immediately tensed up." Eric said looking me in the eye.

"Why did you do it?"

"Your mom told me to kill all the divergents I could find and I did. During that time, it was like I had no humanity. I regret it, but I'm not going to deny my past." Eric said. "what are you going to do with this information?"

"What can I do? You were honest with me. It's in the past and you're not a killer right now are you?"

"No."

"Well then, I guess we leave it in the past. But, if Elena ever asks, I punched you and you are very sorry." I said and that brought a smile to his face, as well as Lane.

"That's it. No yelling? No punching?" Lane asks and I just laugh.

"Lane, he's the father of your children. He's also my brother. What point is there to holding a grudge? I have to talk to Elena. I'll see you two later?" I ask and they both nod. I hug both of them and walk out. Now I have to deal with Elena and her opinions on this matter, and I don't think she'll take it as gracefully as I did.
