Hey guys! OMG WE ARE ON CHAPTER FIVE! Enjoy this story. It took me a while to write because I couldn't think of what the meeting would be about. Please please tell me what you want in the story. I have some great ideas (one of the next few chapters I am going to make in Uriah's POV!") anyways why do I always end up ranting! Here is the story.


I didn't get a wink of sleep last night. At 6:30 I get up and walk to the kitchen. Usually I would go to the dining hall for breakfast, but I had to be at the meeting early. I grab a banana from the counter and make myself some coffee. While the coffee is brewing I hop in the shower. I turn the heat all the way up and wash as the scorching water hits my back. I feel my muscles relax as the heat overwhelms my body. I step out, wrap myself in the towel, and step out. I see Tobias asleep in our room as I step in to get changed. I grab a black low-cut dress and a leather jacket and walk back to restroom to change. Even though the water has been off for about three to five minutes, the mirror is still Fogged up. I wipe it with my arm. I stare at myself in the mirror. I have never been the prettiest girl. I am flat chested with barely any curves. I don't understand how Tobias fell in love with me. He could have any other girl in Dauntless, yet he chose me. I throw those thoughts to the back of my mind. Tobias chose me because he loved me. I put on the dress and do my hair. Instead of doing it like I normally would. I let it down so that my hair lay flat. I pull out a curling iron and give them a beach wave. I walk out to get my coffee. While I am drinking my coffee I hear the shower start. I look at the clock: 8:00, crap, I have to be there by 8:30! I grab my purse and put on my jacket. I hear The shower has turned off. "Good luck today" i hear tobias yell through the door. I walk out into the hall and go into a full on sprint to the meeting place which is across Dauntless.


"Ah Tris! I heard you were joining us Today" Marcus says as I walk through the door. God would I like to punch him so bad right now. There at the table there is Eric, Max, Marcus, My Father, and Susan. I forgot she was going to be at the meeting today. I sit down across from her and next to Eric in the only open chair in the room. After a minute of greetings Eric stretches both arms out one right behind my back. I stiffen you. "What's wrong? Are you feeling a little Stiff?" Eric whispers to me with a grin I swear he tries to torture me!

"So, I assume there is a reason why you have called this meeting today, Marcus," Max says

"Yes, we have been informed that some of your Dauntless members are still policing the Factionless."

"We do have people go and check on the Factionless. We have them stay on the perimeter of the sector though."

"That is violating the law we set in place."

"I was not aware that watching them from outside the perimeter was banned!" Eric buds in

"Yes, it is the poor need to be helped not policed," My Father says with a stern look on his face. I have seen this look many times. I have always had lots of Empathy for the person on the receiving end.

"I don't understand why we can't monitor them." I say " people can be cruel. All the other factions have leaders set in place, but the Factionless have no community. If there is no comunity there is no leadership set in place, no one to enforce laws" this made complete sense to me. If we aren't going in and monitoring them some people can get seriously hurt. I expect to see the look that I have dreaded my entire life. This look i was given was a look of disappointment.

"I am sorry you feel this way, but rules are rules. We ask that you please move the policemen to the walls." Wait! Uriah is part of the police force!

"No," I say with out thinking crap. There is no choose now. I have to keep arguing. "We will keep on monitoring the Factionless. We will do it without stepping a foot into the sector, and we will keep everyone on the position they are in." Marcus whispers something into my father's ear and he nods.

"Without stepping a foot into the factionless sector?"

"Yes sir"

"You may do this as long as you do not step a single foot into the sector."

"Are you out of your mind stiff!" Eric says

"No Eric I am not" I say "trust me"

"No, I am not going to trust a Stiff to choose what is best for Dauntless." For God's sake Eric! Do you want to move everyone to the wall?!

"Let Tris speak" Max demands to Eric and Eric rolls his eyes.

"Now that we have that settled, is there anything else you need to discuss?" I say

"No, there isn't thank you" Marcus says already getting up from the table. Susan was silent through the entire meeting.

"Susan, may I talk to you in private?"

"Yes you may" she says in her timid voice. This voice was completely different from the one we heard last night we walk out into the hall way.

"Why didn't you speak at the meeting? Aren't you a leader?" I ask

"No, I am not a leader. I am training to be one"she says Oh yeah! I forgot that Abnegation leaders are old "The real question is why you were speaking." She is back to the voice she had last night

"I am a leader."

"Really! At this young! You are only sixteen!"

"Dauntless doesn't care about age"

"That is kind of reckless!"

"Well, we are dauntless. We should head back to the room." She nods and we walk back inside

"Again thank you for your time." Marcus says. It isn't right for him to be wearing this mask. I can't expose him, but God would I like to! They all walk out. Marcus first then Andrew and finally Susan. When the door closes it is only me, Eric, and Max.

"What was that, Stiff!!!" Eric yells at me "how are we supposed to patrol the factionless sector without stepping foot into the factionless sector"

"We won't step a foo-"

"How are we supposed to do that and still do our jobs"

"Let her finish" Max says

"Thank you. As I was trying to say. We won't step a foot in, but we will drive in. We have the police go in trucks. They can drive on the roads. When they are done going around the area they will come back. If there is an emergency the person driving pulls up and the person in the back will take care of it without ever stepping a single foot into the factionless soil." Eric is left stunned at this.

"You sure you aren't Erudite?"

"Yes I am sure"I say. I hadn't realized pointing that out could show my Divergence! That could have ended badly.

We all walk out of the room and Max catches up to me.

"You made the right choice choosing leadership" he says I nod and slip away for lunch.


Ok guys thank you for reading this! I enjoyed writing this chapter. My throat is hurting so I was paying more attention to my throat than the writing. I should have another one out on Thursday. Please check out my other story "Life in Dauntless" it is about a girl from Candor who goes to dauntless. I like to consider her a mix of Christina, Al, and Peter. (I know Peter is a reall a* sometimes, but he is candor and I feel like I had to add some of his personality to get the ultimate Candor born) anyways stay awesome, stay lucky, and peace out!
