"He's obviously working with Jeannie and he's the one helping Erudite..." Tris starts saying trying to make sense of everything. "He went to insure that I wouldn't find out anything about our parents and so that I wouldn't find out anything about Erudite." Tris says angrily. Uriah and Zeke sigh thinking it could be a possibility.
"Maybe but Tris don't jump to conclusions...We will find out Thursday." Zeke says. Uriah and Tris sigh in irritation but let the subject go. Tris tries holding in the frustration and the distrust she feels for Four. Tris and her brother's sit there incomplete silence letting the problem at hand speak volumes.
Time Skip: (Thursday morning at the meeting.)
"Training will begin tomorrow at 5:30 Am and I expect everyone to be prepared to train from 6:00 Am to 11:00 Pm." Max says sternly. "Sunday is the final test and the test will determine who makes it to stage 2." Max decides. Uriah and Tris smirk excitedly at one another while Four, Zeke and Eric nods there head understanding as they take notes. "Today Jeannie from Erudite will here today and I expect EVERYONE." Max says turning directly to Uriah and Tris. "On their BEST behavior." Max says very sternly. Tris crosses her arms over her chest and raises her hand.
"Why is she coming?" Tris asked suspiciously. "Earlier you said that Natalie and Andrew couldn't come today because of the disagreement between Erudite and Abnegation but Jeannie the head of Erudite can come for some stupid meeting? That doesn't make any sense." Tris says eyeing Max. Max sighs and puts his hands in his pockets.
"Jeannie and I had this planned before the disagreements with Erudite and Abnegation occurred." Max says with a mask of emotion. "This isn't some stupid meeting Tris, The "Stupid meeting" is something that includes Dauntless…Its business…Honestly I'm not obligated to tell you children anything-" Max says again staring at Uriah and Tris. "Considering you guys are initiates but I do because you guys are my children." Max says sternly. Tris was taken back by Max's response that before she can even think Uriah speaks up.
"Wait, hold up." Uriah says with annoyance evident in his voice. "You're basically saying that Zeke and Four both already knew about this?" Uriah says with slight anger.
"Yea, of course why wouldn't they know?" Max asked in confusion. Tris turns to both Zeke and Four and laugh in bitterness shaking her head.
"So you're telling Uriah and I that all this information about the meeting with Jeannie and the new information about our parents both Four and Zeke knew already?" Tris tries her best to be calm and puts on a fake confused smile to contain her anger.
"Yeah, they've known for a couple of weeks now…Why?" Max asked nonchalantly. Tris shakes her head and continues to fake smile.
"No reason just…curious is all." Tris says again with a fake smile and fake curiosity. Max nods his head and smiles and continues on.
"So let's move on. So the news that was also found about Amber and Nick is that we never actually found their bodies…Obviously and no one in Dauntless actually saw them die." Max explains.
"So if no one actually saw them die…Why would anyone just up and assume they died?" Uriah asked in confusion.
"Mission 1004 was the last mission they were on, sources say that there was a big explosion and all mics were out due to the blast." Max says seriously. "The last thing that was heard of them were several shots and Amber screaming in bloody marry, "Nick! No!" and sounds of her crying." Max finishes. Tris nods her head trying to think/comprehend what was said. Everyone in the room was silent for a couple of minutes before Tris breaks it.
"It's sort of obvious that it was a set up…But the question is how didn't you guys know it was a set up until 10 years later?" Tris starts thinking and gets in idea. "You guys should probably recheck into that mission and find out what was so different about this mission then the other missions. I'm sure in other missions there were explosions you have to find out why that Day the explosion was "That Bad." Tris says to Max who nods his head in realization.
"That's an amazing Idea." Max says taking it all in before looking at Eric. "You wrote down what she said right?" He asked before walking to the door.
"Yes sir I did." Eric says before standing up and walking over to the door as well.
"Alright it's almost time for Jeannie to get here, so I'll talk to you guys when I find out about mission 1004. Max says before walking out of his office with Eric following behind him. Tris, Four, Zeke and Uriah all walk out the office in silent and Uriah breaks it a second later.
"Wow Tris isn't it funny how Zeke talks about "no secrets" and is all about being a "family" but fails to tell you and I about important information about our parents?" Uriah says with sarcasm dripping from every word. Tris laughs bitterly and shakes her head.
"You're right Uriah, you forgot to mention Zeke and his best friend knew for weeks about this important information and never EVER thought to tell us or dropped hints…Some family this is…" Tris says looking both Four and Zeke in the eyes. Tris says with no sympathy in her voice. Zeke turns around to the twins with anger boiling through him.
"Right it's all my fault right? Here's to the most ungrateful and selfish twin's I've ever meet in my whole life. Not to mention how you guys are reckless and don't think before doing or saying something." Zeke says clenching and unclenching his hands. "All I've ever done since Mom and Dad died is take care of the two most annoying brats ever! I've always put you two before myself always! When you decided to sneak to Erudite Tris, I sent Four to make sure that you would be safe and that you'd make smart decisions. Every time you blow up Uriah I'm always there to bail you out." Zeke says a bit softer but never letting the anger leave his voice. "I kept all this information from you guys because I wanted to do some research for myself without you guys blaming and using your anger to make assumptions. When you both are mad you guys aren't in your right minds and it makes it difficult to talk sense and reason to you guys." Zeke says with all the anger leaving his voice. Tris and Uriah feel a bit guilty and Tris rolls her eyes and sighs.
"I guess I see where you're coming from…But it is a smack in the face when you didn't even tell us you knew information about our parents because they weren't just your parents, they're ours too." Tris says. "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions before knowing the full story. Tris says sincerely. Zeke nods his head and gives her a small smile.
"Yeah, I'm sorry too." Uriah says looking down. Zeke smiles and pulls him into a brotherly hug. Four stands awkwardly off to the side. Tris and Four make eye contact and Tris breaks it, bringing her attention to her brothers who are ruff housing.
"Hey so I promised my friend Christina that I would hang out with her today, so I'll see you guys later alright?" Tris says causing her brothers to stop and look at her. Uriah and Zeke break apart and Uriah raises and eyebrow.
"Are you still hanging around those the wannabe Dauntless kids?" Uriah asked with a bit of disapproval. Tris looks a little taken back and scoffs.
"Yea… Does it matter who I hang out with?" Tris asked Uriah with a scowl on her face. Uriah laughs and shakes his head.
"Oh I don't care." Uriah says shrugging. "But I was just curious." Uriah says putting his hands in his pockets. Tris says rolling her eyes and starting to walk away but stops.
"Of course you don't care." Tris says before fully walking away. Tris walks to the café and sees Christina, Will and Al. "Hey guys!" Tris says sitting next to Will. Christina looks up and smiles widely.
"Hey Tris we were missing you around here what have you been up to?" Christina asked excitedly. Tris rolls her eyes playful and sighs.
"I haven't really done much but I'm just ready for initiation to be over. How about you Chris?" Tris asked with a smile.
"Nothing, but I have to tell you something big!" Chris says smiling. Tris nods her head and turns to the boys.
"What about you Al…How are you liking Dauntless?" Tris asked curiously. Al blushes and Tris raises an eyebrow and turns to Chris and Al whos biting back their smiles.
"It was um…Alright it kind of sucked until today" Al says shyly. Tris is taken back by his response.
"Why? What happened?" Tris asked looking at Chris and Will who looked amused.
"Well because… You weren't with us for like 2 weeks…It really sucked without you Tris." Al says with his face turning red and looking Tris in the eyes. Tris's mouth drops open and she's in shock.
"Oh… Really? That that was really, really sweet of you Al." Tris says without thinking. Al blushes more and smiles. Tris smiles back. Tris and the group talk at the café for about a hour before they were rudely interrupted by Peter.
"Hey stiff…And friends." Peter says with a big smirk on his face. Tris looks up from her friends and raise an eyebrow before scowling at Peter.
"What do you want Peter." Will says with annoyance evident in his voice. Peter puts his hands in fake surrender and takes a small step back.
"What? Hey, you're famous now, you're in the news." Peter says holding up a dauntless tablet. Tris and her friends look at him in confusion and Peter nods his head conforming. "Yeah, listen to this." Peter says fake laughing.
"The recent transfers of Beatrice and their son Caleb Prior, child and niece of Andrew Prior, call into question the soundness of Abnegation's teachings and values. What prompted them to leave?" Peter reads. Tris's eyes get big and Peter's smirk gets wider. Tris turns back to her friends trying to ignore him But Peter won't let up. "Perhaps the answer lies in the corrupted ideal of an entire fraction. Their theft of resources, their general incompetence, the abuse of their children." Peter finishes reading and lifts his head from the tablet and looks Tris directly in the eye. "Did they beat you, like Marcus Eaton's kid?" Peter asked with a small smirk.
"No! They didn't beat anyone. They're good people" Tris says rolling her eyes at Peter. Peter nods his head pretending to understand before asking more questions.
"Right. And that's why you left? If they were really "Good people" why didn't you chose Abnegation."
"Because I was born Dauntless, my family is here in Dauntless and I promised them I'd come back." Tris says glaring. Peter laughs and rolls his eyes a bit. "Any more questions Peter?" Tris says sarcastically before getting up and walking out of the Café.
"Was it something I said?" Peter asked in pretend confusion. Christina, Al and Will follow Tris out and they walk back to the transfer bunks.
"He's an idiot." Christina says trying to cheer Tris up.
"It's okay." Tris says softly as they continue to walk. As they're all walking Will stops everyone and as the come face to face with Jeannie.
"What is she doing here?" Will asked softly. Tris keeps her mouth shut and Jeannie approaches them with a soft smile.
"Prior. You're Andrew Prior's daughter, aren't you? Beatrice." Jeannie asked with a smile. Tris shakes her head and gives her a politely smile.
"No, I'm a Pedrad…I'm Amber and Nick's daughter and my names just Tris…" Tris says in the nicest way possible.
"Oops my mistake, you kind of look like Natalie…Tris, I like that." Jeannie says with another soft smile. Jeannie notices Tris's tattoos and nods her head. "You made an impressive choice, Tris, despite your parents and your test results." Jeannie says flatly. Tris keeps looking scared at the fact someone saw her test results.
"You know my parents?" Tris asked with an eyebrow raised. Jeannie nods her head and Tris bits her lip. "And you've also seen my test results?" Tris asked with curiosity.
"Of course. I'm glad you were smart enough to know Dauntless is where you needed to be... Let me know if you ever need anything." Jeannie says before being Lead to Max's office. Tris turns to her friends and they give her a weird look.
"Well, that was weird." Christina says shaking her head at the thought.
"Yeah…I just can't believe she knows my parents…" Tris says in shock.
"On another note what do you think is going on?" Al asked with a curious voice. Will laughs a bit and shrugs as if it was nothing.
"I bet they're hunting Divergents. That's all they talk about at Erudite." Will says nonchalantly. Tris's eyes get a little big and Al takes the words right out her mouth.
"Wait, Divergents are real?" Al asked. Tris is a bit stand offish and she interrupts the boys.
"Hey sorry guys I got to go I'll see you at dinner okay?" Tris says before walking speedy quick to her house to inform her brothers that Jeannie knows their parents and she's hunting Divergents here.
