When I re-read chapter 19 my evil brain complimented me and my heart swelled with pride for myself. It was a huge boost to my ego when I realized how smart I am as I killed the She-Devil using her own invention. Laughs like a maniac , I am so smart I should be the next Erudite leader XD .

Anyways...

Nita walks towards her apartment slowly. It was a very tiring month. Between helping Tris in Erudite and the new changes in the city, she didn't got much rest at all. She stops mid step as she feels a chill run down her spine. I am being followed she thinks and tries to quicken her pace. She wants nothing to do with anyone who is stalking her at midnight.

The footsteps become louder and she realizes that she us being followed by more than one person. With labored breathing, she tries to unlock her door but her hands are shaking badly. She feels a hand on her shoulder and she shivers at the roughness of her follower.

She heard a laugh and instantly recognizes who it belongs to. She is shoved against her door and she takes a look at her attacker. Her eyes widen as she takes in five men. "Hello Nita! Since you betrayed Jeanine Matthews and Erudite and decided to help the good for nothing bitch, let's show you the consequences of your decision."

She is thrown at the ground hard. She winces but is determined to stay loyal. She hears a whimper and clattering of falling metal. Looking around she sees Naomi with a confused expression. She shakes her head and attacks Nita's captor. "NAOMI!" but Nita is too late. The bald man shoots Naomi twice and Nita watches in horror as her friend falls to the ground in a messy heap, her eyes unfocused as the life is drained out of her body.

"Nooo!" Nita screams as she elbows the man keeping her down. At this the younger one starts raining blow after blow at her. Nita whimpers in pain as she hears shots. Pain spreads through her body as she coughs and sputters blood. She touches her neck and her hand comes back covered in blood. She looks up again as she collects her strength and as a last but of defiance and loyalty spits out "Fuck you David! You too Asshole!" she says as Peter chuckles.

"Since you asked nicely," the third stalker says. Her eyes widen as she recognizes him. They start stripping her clothes and the last memory she has is of cold dark blue eyes. The world blacks out.

Matthew looks at the broken girl attached to the machine. The tests came back positive. Nita was abused and raped multiple times. And Naomi was dead. He shakes his head, grieving for his dead friends who were loyal till the end. He picks up his phone and calls him.

Eric runs into Erudite in full speed. Matthew, an Allegiant member has called him and requested that he came as soon as possible. He stops as he recognizes the girl. Cars stands there and helps him to the secret lab where Matthew was. Eric knows that whatever it is doesn't feel right. He can sense that something is definitely wrong. On his way to the lab, he feels a sharp pinch in his neck. He stops and looks around but sees no one. Hmm must be my paranoia. He thinks and follows Cara.

Tris wakes up feeling weird. She knows the hormones and pregnancy is driving her crazy but she feels like something very bad is going to happen. She gets up and stretches. She noticed that there is a paper on the ground. Whoever put it down surely had no regard for her pregnancy. A few minutes later, she has successfully picked it up. She reads it and sighs.

C hildhood home

Eric walks into the compound late that night. He knows that something is bugging him. The murder and assaults on the loyal Erudites felt like a taunt. He knew that whoever it was is after Tris and against the new system. After all Jeanine had died all too easily.

He sees a silhouette by the chasm. He can see it's a woman, but what is she doing at the chasm so late. She stands up at the railing and he catches a glimpse of her face in the blue light. He dashes towards her, willing her to stop and praying she doesn't jump. He approaches her and pounces at her, bringing her down on the ground safely.

She looks up at him from where she is trapped under his muscled body and strokes his cheek. The blank look on her face makes Eric cringe as he stares down at Cara wondering what the hell was that about. Clearly she was going to jump in the chasm, but why? She starts flailing, throwing uncalculated punches and kicks but Eric holds her down.

She gives up and he looks in her blank eyes. Something changes in her eyes as she says in a robotic voice

"Rise Eric Coulter and do what you are supposed to do."

And the Cara he knew is back and looking around herself, trying to figure out what the hell is going on as Eric gets off her and walks with a destination in mind.

Tris comes back exhausted. She flips down on her bed and recalls her time in her childhood home. She went to the Prior's long forgotten home but with hesitation. In the living room she found another paper. She rolled her eyes and picked it up. It was clear that someone was planning a dramatic reveal.

A bnegation in Black or Black in Abnegation?

The Erudite in her brain analyzed the text and on the third time she understood it. Black in Abnegation. The Blacks!

There, Susan have her a piece of paper that read:

L eft behind or right here?

She cursed mentally at the person toying with her. If he was playing with her than he is in for a surprise. She decided that she will investigate later, as she made her way back to the Dauntless Compound for a much needed nap. Being pregnant was getting very tiring.

Tobias stood in the Control room behind Zeke as he watched the screen. He saw Eric save Cara but then he got up and walked away. Cara tries to stop him but he picked her up. Tobias dashed out of the Control room and ran towards the chasm full speed. He was lucky because despite the fatigue, Cara was able to hold the railing. He quickly caught her before she fell and helped her up. He was coming back after depositing her in the infirmary when his phone rang. Zeke.

He cursed and attends the call but a few words were all he needed to hear to rush towards the leadership wing.

He is going to Tris, Four. He is not being himself!

The words kept repeating over and over in his mind as he rushed towards the woman he loved. Yes he still loves her. There is no one he can love ever again the way he loved her. He breaks in the door and sees...

Tris tossed and turned, willing the sleep to come. The nagging feeling in her gut was growing with each passing minute. The door opened and in walked her fiance, looking tired and blank?

He looked at her in a way that sent a chill down her spine. Something is wrong. She barely had time to react as Eric punches her in her ribs. She winces and rolls off the bed in time to avoid another punch.

She dodges his attacks but doesn't hurt him. "I love you Eric please don't make me so this. Please!"

Her pleas are useless as he takes out something shiny. Her eyes widen as she notices the sharp blade of a knife. He aims it and at the same time she tries to slap it away. However, she misjudged the direction of the knife as it sticks.

Tris cries out in pain as she examines the knife lodged in her bone. Blood was oozing out of the wound, staining her blue sleeves. The door opened and she sees "Tobias!"

His name, a whisper on her tongue as Eric looks back. Thoughts and memories return to him as Dauntless guards force his arms back, handcuffing him. Eric looks dejectedly at his fiance, jealousy coursing through his veins as his rival holds her in his arms. His eyes widen in the realization of what he nearly did.

"Tris, love. I am so sorry. I don't know what happened. Please baby, I am so so sorry. I-" but Eric is cut off by Tris scoffing.

"YOU DON'T GET TO CALL ME THAT. YOU LOST ALL OF IT WHEN YOU ATTACKED ME AND TRIED TO KILL OUR BABY. HOW COULD YOU ERIC!" her voice softens as she weeps

"why Eric, why? Was something wrong with me, I thought you wanted the baby and this relationship as much as I did. I guess I was wrong." A sob burst through her mouth, followed by heart breaking voices as she cries.

Eric's heart breaks at seeing her like this. He is taken away but Tris stops the guards. She nearly loses her resolve at seeing the hurt but hopeful expression on his face. But she needs to be firm.

She takes off her engagement ring and puts it in his pocket as Eric's heart breaks all over again.

"We are over Eric. Goodbye. Guards! take him to Candor holding cells until I say so." And he is forced out of the room. The last thing he sees is her heart broken face and he lets out his tears and cries silently.

Eric is forced in a seat by the Dauntless guards. He is chained and handcuffed as he hears the clamor of people, demanding his head. He looks up and wished he didn't as he sees the hate in his ex-Fiance's eyes. The other Dauntless leaders stand beside her. Harrison is burning holes in his head. For a minute their eyes meet and he sees something in his eyes but Harrison looks away.

Jack Kang and Four approach him with truth serum. He closes his eyes as he feels the familiar pinch of the needle.

"Please state your name and factions." Niles says.

"Eric Coulter. Erudite born. Dauntless chosen."

"Age and relationship to Cara Reynolds and Tris Prior."

"Nineteen. Cara was a fellow member of Allegiant who helped stop the war on Abnegation. Tris was my fiance who broke up with me last night."

"Eric can you tell us what you remember about yesterday?"

Eric nods and clears his throat. "I was in Dauntless when Matthew from Erudite called me and asked me to see him. I took the train and went in where Cara led me to the secret lab. Apparently, Naomi and Nita who were also Allegiant members were murdered and assaulted last night. Naomi died on the spot while Nita was gang raped and abused. They also shot her." He says.

"Did anything strange happen? and where is this Nita?"

"Nita is on life support and will probably never wake up. When I was following Cara, I felt the pinch of a needle in my neck but I ignored it thinking it was paranoia."

A roar of displeasure sounds from the crowd as they take in the information.

"When I came back at night, it was late but I saw a woman near the chasm. I felt she was going to jump and rushed to her. Turns out it was Cara who seemed like she was under simulation. I pounced on her and brought her down safely but she began struggling. She said something I don't remember and then everything is blurry up until I saw Tris."

Cara nods as she recalls the night's events.

"Tobias Eaton and Zeke Pedrad also enlisted that there were explosions in the Abnegation Council building and the Dauntless pit later. Hundreds of civilians were injured and more than fifty were killed. How do you justify yourself?" Niles said.

Eric shook his head. He didn't remember doing either. "It could be brain controlled Cara." He says as Zeke nods. He had noticed Cara snooping around the Compound earlier.

"Thank you for your honesty, Eric. You still are responsible for murder and assault. I will leave it to the leaders."

"Kill him!"

"Execution!"

"Shame Eric!" and so many voices were heard from the crowd.

"The punishment for murder is death." Harrison says sternly.

"No, we are better than executing someone who was mind controlled. Eric Coulter! On behalf of the people and victims of your attacks, I strip you of all of your titles. You are no longer a leader. You will be shunned out of all factions. You are no longer welcome among us as you are unworthy. You will have to take care of yourself now." Tris says with a stoic expression as the crowd cheers loudly.

Tris sighs and climbs out of the shower. Today she was going to Amity.

L eft behind or right here?

She understood. She was with the Blacks. She knew that Susan was right here in Abnegation. Susan didn't know anything so that left the first part. Left behind. She knew Robert had left his family behind to join Amity. And that is where she is headed.

This is going to be a long day. she thought as she jumped on the train carefully. Her thoughts drifted to Eric but she shook her head. She has no more time or tears to waste on the man. She takes a deep breath and tries to enjoy the rushing scenery.

She approached Amity and noticed something stuck in a tree. She took it and Great another note probably from the axe murderer. She thought dryly.

E nsuring peace of the peaceful.

The Amity Leadership.

She sighed as she approached the dome, mentally preparing herself.

Johanna gave her the piece of paper with a kind smile. Tris rolled her eyes in mock annoyance as she thanked Johanna.

B runette with the Black.

She looked around and spotted Robert Black and...

(Flashback)

She turns around and sees a very unexpected boy there.

Her mind goes into overdrive at the sight of the handsome, young brunette boy. She remembered him from her memories. Roberts Amity friend. The Amity representative. The boy from the graveyard. The boy who appeared in her nightmares and Fear Landscape.

The boy who has her father's Brown hair and mother's green eyes. And all of a sudden all five notes made sense.

"CAY?"

"BABY BEA?"

And she collapses in his arms, sobbing violently.

C hildhood home
