The Dauntless Law Group Chapter 13, a divergent trilogy fanfic

A/N Hey guys! Hope you're all well and safe. So I decided to upload this early and this time I am going to switch POVs. I don't usually do this but this time I want to it will include Tris and Four's POV of course but will also include some others. Stay tuned! Happy reading!

Tris POV

Christina just texted me that they're all coming over in about hour honestly I don't want to talk to anybody right now but they are my friends and they stuck with me even at my worst. They deserve to know.

That is what I'm thinking to calm myself down. But no matter how much I try the events of last night still come back to me. I feel like I need to talk to someone who won't judge me or make me feel weak and will honestly say what they're thinking.

As soon as I think that the answer immediately comes to me. Four. It's weird I haven't known him for much long but he's the first person I want to talk to. Maybe it's because in his eyes I see something similar to mine a well of pain hidden behind a façade and he might fool others but not me because I know how that feels. So I call him hoping he picks up on the fifth ring. Not that I was counting obviously.

"Hey" I say a bit nervously maybe this was a wrong thing to do I mean hasn't he dealt with me enough already? But it's too late to turn back now.

He replies, "Hey Tris. What's the matter?"

He sounds a bit out of breath. I wonder why but ignore it and reply,

"Well I know it sounds stupid but-but- I really really want to talk to somebody about yesterday and didn't know who to call but then I thought I could call you and ugh! But if you don't want to I understand I'm sure you have-" At that point he cuts me off and starts speaking in a stern but gentle tone,

"Tris I don't mind talking to you and helping you. And no, asking to talk isn't stupid okay? Get that idea out of your mind and to be honest I'm really glad that I'm the person you thought of and wanted to talk to. I'm at the gym right now. I'll be over in 15. That all right with you?"

I just breathe a sigh of relief as a small smile creeps up my face and say, "Yeah sure. I'll be waiting."

And with that I hang up much lighter than before but still a ball of tension and anxiety and fear eating away my mind. I try to relax by waiting on the couch but soon I fall asleep.

Tobias POV

I'm feeling a lot better now after punching the shit out of some bags. I picture Al's face on the bag which instantly fuels my rage. I start hitting them like no tomorrow I only come to my senses once the punching bag breaks off the chain and falls about 2 meters away. As I stand there dazed and regaining my control I feel a lot more calmer than before.

I pick up the bag and hang it up again before my phone begins to ring. I'm still a bit breathless but I ignore that once I see the caller ID. It's Tris. I instantly pick it up and wonder why she called.

She speaks first shaking me out of my reverie.

"Hey" Is all she says but she sounds a bit nervous. Again I wonder why but drop it.

"Hey Tris. What's the matter?" Getting directly to the point. She pauses a few seconds before replying,

At those words my body feels warm. I am the first person she thought of. But why does she always assume that I don't want to talk to her. I'd love to talk to her all day and night and I won't mind one bit. Honestly I'd just do about anything she says. God, I'm turning into such a sap and before she can ramble on more I cut her off and say in a stern but gentle voice,

And when she replies, "I'll be waiting." I swear I am grinning so wide that my cheeks will burst apart. I just feel so happy hearing that. That for once in my life somebody else is waiting for me and wanting to talk to me. And that I wasn't thought of last. That she thought of me before anyone else just warms my heart.

I quickly shower and put on some better clothes before driving off for her house. I am about to knock at the door when I remember she told me to use the spare key to let myself in anytime I want. I unlock the door and step in and call out, "Tris"

No response. Once again I call out but again I don't have any response now I slightly panic and run inside only to see her peacefully sleeping on the couch.

Her hair a tangled blonde mass and her face which looked beautiful. I know she wanted to talk to me but I didn't have the heart to wake her not after seeing her so calm and peaceful as opposed to yesterday night when she woke up screaming. I know she doesn't remember it but I do.

It's imprinted in my mind. The wild look of panic in her eyes and the tears flowing down her face. In that moment she looked fragile, like she would break with a single touch but at the same time I felt like I had never seen anyone more strong and brave than her. So I let her sleep and scroll aimlessly through my phone sneaking glances at her. Eventually she stirs and wakes up her stormy grey orbs fluttering open.

She stretches like a cat before noticing me watching her. I just grin at her and for a moment she completely freezes then yelps and then seems to recognize me and calms down a hand over her heart.

"Jesus Four! You scared the crap outta me! Don't do anything like that again. If you want your pretty face to stay pretty."

I feel a bit scared but decide to make a joke out of it saying, "Did you just say I have a pretty face Tris?"

I thought she would deny or change the topic instead she boldly says, "Yes" and her cheeks turn a faint shade of pink. I am shocked. I did not expect that.

Eventually I regain control of my senses and say, "Well you aren't too bad yourself Tris." At which she blushes even more but then I decide to get to the point before the rest of the gang arrives here.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I say in a serious yet gentle tone reminding her that she can tell me anything.

She pauses for a moment before thinking then, "Well I know the gang especially Uri, Ezi, and Chris have stuck with me through everything but I don't know if I want to tell them everything. Y'know they'll freak out too much and get way overprotective especially Ezi. And I don't want that. They'll see me as a weak person who can't even defend herself. And I don't want to be seen like that by anyone. I know it sounds stupid but I-" At that point I cut her off. How could anyone see her as anything but smart, strong, brave and beautiful?

So I tip her chin up and force her eyes to meet mine so she can see the sincerity in my words,

"Tris you are the strongest person I know. And it wasn't a fair fight Tris, even you know that, three against one, really? Fucking bastards. And don't worry Tris you aren't obligated to tell anyone anything. If you want to tell them you tell them if you don't then don't. It's all up to you Tris."

She still has her gaze locked on mine as she slowly whispers a thank you with her cheeks tinted pink. We keep our eyes locked on each other's and I can see awe, and admiration in her eyes and I like no love that she looks at me like that.

There is less than six inches of space between us and it's charged with electricity like if we touch literally sparks will fly and I have no doubt that there will be flames too.

We are still looking at each other and I'm having an internal battle with myself on kissing her. On one hand I'd love to kiss her but I'm afraid that she'll reject me also I don't want to take advantage of her current emotional state. As I'm still deciding the doorbell rings and we jump apart although you can still feel the tension.

Tris clears her throat a warm blush spreading on her cheeks and before I can say anything scurries off to get the door. I just watch her go. Lost in my thoughts a moment later she returns with the rest of our friends in tow.

They aren't talking or laughing like they normally do instead everyone's looking at Tris who is in turn looking at the floor. They haven't noticed me yet so I cough to make my presence known.

Their heads snap up and they all give an acknowledgement of some kind but their attention is still on Tris. She sits down beside me still looking down.

There is a tense silence as Tris looks up and sighs saying, "You can you know ask questions," at once everyone opens their mouth but Tris raises her voice and hand continuing, "One at a time. Chris?"

Christina instantly fires questions at her, "What happened to you? Are you okay right now? And…" Her eyes shift between me and Tris and Tris groans saying,

"I'm not going to answer the last one. Okay so when I went to get back my phone yesterday there was…somebody there and," she pauses not able to continue the rest of them leaning in to hear everything. I am about to slide an arm around her shoulder when Uriah who's sitting on her other side does it and softly says, "Trissy take your time. We're here for you."

Tris leans into him and my eyes flare. I know she doesn't like him but that does not make me any happier. So instead I focus only on Tris she then takes a deep breath and says, "Then I was…attacked…"

At that everyone gasps about to speak but she beats them to it by saying, "I'm fine now guys. Four was the one who saved me. And please no more questions about that I don't want to talk about it."

Everyone still looks shocked but Zeke just looks at me and smirks winking. First I'm confused but then seeing Zeke motion his head toward Tris I understand. He is so gonna have his ass handed to him the next time we're alone. In the meantime I settle for a death glare which instantly shuts him up.

After a few more minutes of silence Uriah speaks up his arm still around her, "Come on guys! Trissy's fine and you're all very boring so I the much cooler Pedrad have an amazing idea to cheer you all up and that is…" He pauses for the dramatic effect and then with a drumroll says, "A week long prank war!"

You can instantly see it's effect and it is an awesome idea. We all cheer Zeke being the loudest of course. We then decide the rules. Nothing is off limits except my house (which I was very firm about and no one dared to argue) and a few other places. You can do whatever you like except nothing too dangerous.

As there are 6 days in the week (excluding Sunday of course) We decide that first two days will be girls against guys.. Next two days we're going solo and at the last it's couple against couple. Tris and I decide to pair up meanwhile Lynn is going solo is gonna be so fun and I'm beyond happy that Tris and I are working together. I can't wait to spend more time with her.

But I'm also going to have to watch my back for the week. It is then that I remember about the self-defence classes I have to take but currently we are playing truth or dare so I decide to remind her later.

We all sit in a circle facing each other with Tris on my right and Lynn on my left. Tris has Christina on another side. And we begin the game of course the penalty for not doing something is taking off an article of clothing.

Uriah begins first beating Zeke to it, "Christina truth or dare?"

Christina thinks a moment before answering, "Dare."

Uriah grins and replies, "Okay get some ice cubes Tris and Chris you have to stuff 4 in your mouth at once for a full minute."

Christina shrugs and accept boy she has no idea what is in store for her. After Tris returns Christina props them into her mouth and Uriah starts the timer for the first 5 seconds she is fine but after that she starts to shake her face turning redder and after 10 seconds she spits them out.

Then as everyone is laughing she removes her jacket throwing it on the floor. She stares at Uriah angrily saying, "I'm gonna get you back for that Uriah."

Then she turns her eyes on the rest of us as she decides finally upon Tris her mouth curls upwards in a evil smile.

"Tris, my dear friend, truth or dare?"

Tris looks at her carefully saying, "Tru-no dare. Dare."

Chris grins while saying, "You have to sit on Four's lap for the rest of the game."

She glares at Christina but then looks at me raising an eyebrow. I shrug back so she comes over and perches herself gently on my lap. My skin is heating at the point we are touching and I'm overwhelmed by having her so near. She leans back so she is resting against my chest and I can feel my skin burn where she touches it.

I circle my arms around her waist but she doesn't stay anything just snuggles closer looking for her next victim.

I then hear her say, "Uriah. Marlene. Closet."

At that both of them turn red and Uriah begins to say, "But I didn't even choose."

To which she replies well Uriah what would you have chosen. Uriah just huffs in defeat and stands up extending an arm to Marlene to help her up. They both walk to inside while the others set up the timer.

We chat while they're in there once or twice we even hear what sounded like a moan. Tris fake gags making us all laugh and when the seven minutes are up she throws open the door and covers her eyes, standing before her are a shirtless Uriah and a ,thank god, fully clothed Marlene.

They both have swollen lips and messy hair and are completely red even though they are smiling and Uriah even looks proud of himself.

The game continues for another hour in which Zeke gives a lap dance to Shauna, Christina prank calls a guy, Uriah streaking naked across the street, me dressing like a unicorn (that's never going to happen again and I only did that because I was down to my boxers)

All in all it was a pretty hilarious night and by the time we all left it was almost 11. We left early because we had work tomorrow and also we had to plan the pranks so the guys were staying at Uriah's meanwhile the girls were staying back at Tris's.
