Alternate ending to the war her parents and family are alive and she got Tobias out of the simulation in the control room they are getting on the train on the way to amity headquarters. Divergent is Veronica Roth's idea and uses some quotes from the books. Tris and Tobias's POV
"We stand near the train tracks for a few minutes before the train comes. Eventually Tobias picks me up, because I am dead on my feet, and I lean into his shoulder,taking deep breaths of his skin."
Four/Tobias's POV
I see her swaying on her feet so I decide to pick her up, trying to ignore the fact that her family is watching me. They are probably wondering why I'm here and what happened in the control room, and why I'm picking her up and she's leaning into it. Knowing Tris she probably hasn't brought it up to her parents that we are together. I feel like that would be a difficult topic to discuss in the middle of a war. Especially since she probably just thought she lost me when I was injected with the serum.
The train nears and I set her down so she can hop on. I am not looking forward to this train ride, but I want to be near her: I don't want to leave her, and I know she doesn't want me to leave. Besides, this is my best option. I can't stay at dauntless headquarters with the chaos and I'm not sure I want to know what's happening elsewhere right now. But a train ride with Peter, Marcus, Andrew, Natalie and Caleb will not be fun.
I scan the other's briefly. Andrew and Caleb look at me with a questional look on their face. I look at Natalie and she smiles when she sees me pick up Tris.
I know Andrew just thinks of me as some faction traitor. Probably from the influence of my father. Peter and Marcus are psychopaths. I still want to kill Peter for when he attacked Tris and I would rather not be near Marcus at all. I like Natalie though, she's not like the other abnegation and I know she likes me.
After she visited Tris she pulled me aside when she was on her way out. She asked me to watch out for her knowing that she's divergent. She figured out then that I like Tris. Apparently it was obvious. She said she saw how I looked at her. So she's probably piecing things together and realising that I finally told her.
I let the others get into the train before I pull myself in smoothly.
Tris's Pov
I jump onto the train trying to land more on my left side. I try to take some deep breaths and get up. I watch the other's get into the train they all land on their stomachs and pull themselves in. All except my mom who struggles a bit but gets on her feet, and tobias. He pulls himself smoothly into the train: I love watching him do that. But now that the adrenaline rush that was keeping me going is fading I am starting to feel the pain in my shoulder and my head is pounding.
I go to the wall and slide down to the floor. I lean my head against the wall and breathe. Tobias crouches next to me and just watches me for a moment before lifting his hand and brushing his fingers against the bruise on my jaw. He has a pained expression on his face realizing that he technically is the one who gave it to me. I don't care about that though and I hope he knows that.
"How's your head?" he says, letting his hand fall.
"Fine" I say obviously lying. My head is pounding and he knows what he did during the fight so it's pointless really lying right now but there are others in this train… I wish there weren't. I really want to just push Marcus and Peter out of the train and my family doesn't know about us yet.
"Maybe you were cut out for candor, because you're a terrible liar." he says repeating words similar to the ones we said in the fear landscape. I smile and laugh and he smiles back. I grab his arm and pull him from his crouching position so he is sitting down and he slides next to me. I decide I don't really care about the others and move closer to him and wrap my arms around him and lean my head on his shoulder.
"I got you back" I breathe out quietly.
He pulls me closer and is silent for a while before saying "but you almost died doing it, I almost shot you, why didn't you shoot me Tris?"
"I couldn't have done that, it would have been like shooting myself." I hold him tighter as I say that and look up at him. He has a pained look on his face.
We are both silent for a minute holding on to each other before I hear him barely whisper it. "You're my raven Tris."
I pull back a little and look him in the eyes, a smile starting to spread on my face and say "say that again."
He meets my gaze and says "You're my raven Tris,I love you." It's still a whisper but the words hit me hard and my heart threatens to escape me. I'm his family.
I look around at the people on the train and say "you know I really don't care." I turn to face him, take his face in my hands and kiss him.
He moves one of his hands to the small of my back and we kiss for a moment. We pull apart and gaze at each other smiling. Before I move back and sit next to him as close as I can get and lean my head on his shoulder.
Four's pov
I am shocked but delighted at the kiss.
We both look around the train realizing that we aren't exactly alone. I tense when I realize that Everyone is watching us.
Tris notices and she puts a hand on my back and moves her hand in circles tracing her fingers along the lines of my tattoo through my shirt. I am not sure why this calms me, but I immediately relax at the touch and take a deep cleansing breath.
Me and Tris look at her family who are across from us watching. Natalie smiling wide and Andrew and Caleb still watching with that questioning look. I try to mentally prepare myself. I really hate questions. But they stay silent just staring at us in shock.
I then feel Tris yawn next to me. I look down at her and she looks really tired. I don't know what exactly happened to her once we were separated but I know the day is taking its toll on her. She looks back up at me and moves into my lap. I wrap my arms around her and she leans her head on my shoulder. I stroke her hair and she falls asleep in my arms. I love her. I'm just not sure if I should say it. Would she be happy? Does she love me back? Maybe not yet anyway but hopefully one day.
I look up when Natalie says something. "Looks like you finally told her." She says it with a huge grin on her face.
Caleb and Andrew look at her with complete and utter shock. They practically shout "you knew!"
Natalie is actually laughing now. "Yeah I knew I met four on visiting day. His feelings were clear as day." I am so grateful that she didn't call me by my real name and I gave her a look to reflect that. She nods at me.
Andrew and Caleb look at each other with confusion and I can tell they are bursting with questions but Andrew just asks" why didn't you tell me about this." Natalie just shrugs "it was clear that he didn't plan on telling her." They look at me and ask "did you?" I shake my head, look at Natalie and respond with "well you sure evaluated me thoroughly." I say it with a small smile so she can tell I'm joking. "Well Four, sorry to tell you this but even with your guard up your feelings on Tris are clear as day."
I just shake my head. I always knew Tris made my walls come down. Just thinking about her made me let at least a couple of them come down.
Then Caleb asks me "Four is that your real name." I am tense but everyone looking at me makes me feel like I should answer so I answer with as few words as possible "No". My answer is guarded but the topic of my name never actually gets pleasant responses. "Then what is your real name?"
I go cold and put every one of my guards up and I don't answer. But now Peter decides to open his smart mouth. "Yeah Four what is your name?" I am tired of this topic so I decide I need to shut it down. "None of your business"
Peter scowls clearly mad he isn't getting a rise out of me so he tries a different approach. "No wonder the stiff got first" The name stiff gets me irritated. I have always hated the term. "First of all don't call her that, second her ranking was all her not her fault that you were a big baby for the simulations. Third I'd shut your fucking mouth. You're lucky I haven't already beat the crap out of you so shut it." He promptly shuts his mouth and glares at me. He couldn't beat me if he had both of his arms let alone with one.
I feel Tris move against me and she adjusts herself still sleeping for a minute before she wakes up. "What's going on?" "They are all trying to get me to tell them my name and shutting Peter up."
She looks over to Peter who is still glaring at me and she gives him a look of pure hatred and mumbles "I should have shot him in the head." All of a sudden we hear Andrew ask "why do you all dislike him so much what has he done to you?"
Tris just scowls "Who wouldn't hate a knife wielding sociopath." They look confused so she continues. "Want a list okay. He stabbed someone in the eye with a butter knife. He finds joy in other people's pain, and he attempted to kill me. I think my hatred is justified." I hold her tighter at the mention of that night.
"What" they all say it together. "He tried to kill you." She shrugs it off like its no big deal and this is so like Tris. "Yeah after stage 2 rankings were announced he attempted to throw me in the chasm. He would have succeeded if Four hadn't saved me. Natalie looks at me with so much gratitude for saving her daughter.
Tris pov
Marcus speaks and I feel Tobias cringe. "You should not have done that, that wasn't very nice, you should try to do better." He is playing the caring abnegation leader right now. I tense and I just feel pure hatred. "Oh shut up. You have no right to tell anyone to do better." I say air quoting do better.
"What are you talking about?" He says it with what would be genuine confusion if you didn't know what kind of a monster he was.
Tobias whispers "Tris" but I pretend not to notice.
"I have never met anyone else who would hit their own kid." Tobias holds me tighter.
"Beatrice what are you talking about '' my father looks at me like he barely recognizes me and I guess in a way he doesn't. "Those reports are fake."
"Not that one" "what are you talking about Beatrice what are those hellions trying to tell you."
I'm getting very annoyed. " First It's Tris and I have met Tobias, don't think I don't know what Marcus has done to him." I give Marcus a glare. "Just drop it, I'm done, this is a pointless conversation."
Tobias rubs my back and I lean into it. The train car now has an awkward silence and it stays that way for a few minutes.
Then Caleb asks what I thought they would have asked a while ago. "What does raven mean? Does it have something to do with your tattoos?"
I don't really feel like answering so I give him a half truth. "Yes it was about my tattoos. The birds are technically Ravens. "
"So what does it mean then?" He looks curious, like he really wants to know. But Tobias is the only one I have told about my tattoos and for some reason I don't feel like I should share it. It seems more private with my family even though it technically represents them.
"That's between him and me" I say and we lapse into silence again. But it's less awkward this time.
I focus on tobias trying to calm my pounding headache that has returned as we head towards amity. Into our unknown future.
