Omg guys chapter 10!!! I apologize in advance for this chapter. I was really sick, so The only way I was even able to hold a phone in my hands without being in excruciating pain was to take two Guaifenesin, two pain killers, and two pamperin, and I still was late. Anyways I tried my hardest. I hope you Enjoy!
I walk down the hall and to my office. When I get there I see that Max is sitting on the bench next to the door. "Did you need something?" I ask
"Yes, though we need to talk about it privately." He whispers so quietly I can barely hear.
"Oh ok!" I say holding the door to my office for him to step inside.
"First things first, here are the papers. They are signed and ready to be sent to Abnegation." He puts the stack of papers on my desk.
"Thanks." I say "what do you need?"
"There has been suspicious activities going on in the other factions."
"Yes, and what does that have to do with dauntless?"
"It is a matter of security. We are the military faction. I think you can connect the dots." He says in a sarcastic tone
"Yes, what do we need to do."
"Well, I was thinking of having someone go undercover in each faction to see what they are up to."
"Yes, but who are you going to have do it?"
"That is why I needed to talk to you."
"Yes?" My heart starts to race. What if he knows I'm Divergent. What if that is what he wanted to talk to me about?
"I think you will be the best choice." Oh no, I think he knows! I have to keep my cool. I can't freak out!
"Why do you think that?" I say playing with a pen in my hands.
"I want it to be someone who we can trust. Who better to trust than a leader. Then, we have the problem that all the leaders have tattoos or piercings that can't be hidden. All except for you that is." Max explains
"So you want me to do it?"
"Yes, that won't be a problem will it?"
"It depends, how long in each faction?"
"A week." Max says straitening up in his seat. A week! That is four weeks away from dauntless! How am I supposed to do that?!
"Well don't you think that is a while to be away from my faction?"
"Yes, but this information is needed and you are a good fit for the position." This means being away from my friends for a month. Not to mention Tobias.
"May I have some time to think about this?"
"You have one day. I expect your answer tomorrow." This gives me a lot to think about. This sounds like an interesting trip. Heck, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I will miss my friends, but I will get to see the rest of the city. How am I going to do this? I want to do this, but I will miss my friends way too much. I need to talk to Tobias about this. When, though, when am I going to be able to talk to him? I am meeting up with Will tonight to go to Erudite. I guess I could talk to him in the morning. Yes, that is what I will do.
The rest of the day goes by without anything interesting. Now, I am on the platform waiting for both Will and the train.
"You ready?" I hear his voice behind me. It makes me jump and I punch him. "Wow, good punch" he says holding his jaw. "Here comes the train, it is now or never." The train comes rushing down the track. We start running next to it. I grab a handle and swing myself in. Will does the same. I stand at the edge leaning out to feel the wind against my face. "Still have the death wish I see?"
"Not a death wish. It is just living life to the fullest." I correct him.
"Okay" He says laughing.
"What is the plan?"
"Ok There are two choices here. We can either go and confront them immediately risking being incorrect or hide and watch."
Both have their pros and cons. "I vote hide and watch."
"Same." He states.
We watch as the Erudite tower comes up. We jump off close to a statue that looks like a bean. We hide in a bush and wait for Caleb. Caleb walks up and leans against the bean. "Cara!" Caleb quietly exclaimes trying not to wake everyone. A blonde girl walks up to him. She is no doubt Will's sister. She has the crease between her eyebrows and everything. She looks around then hugs him. He leans down and puts his lips to hers. Oh god! This is actually happening. "Don't you think it is a little inappropriate for me to be dating one of my instructors?" Caleb says moving his head away. "You keep on forgetting. I am not your instructor anymore. We are both members." She says running her hands through his hair. I start to get a burning feeling in my stomach. I can tell Will is too by the look of anger on his face. I shake my head no so that he doesn't jump out of the bush. "Yes, that does make sense." He turns his face back to Cara's and kisses her deeply. She starts to wrap her legs around his waist when Will repositions himself in the bush causing the leaves to rustle. "What was that?" Caleb says.
"I don't know. Should we check it out?" Cara says with fear in her voice. Caleb nods and takes her hand. They stalk towards the bush slowly. I try to get out, but my leg is stuck in a branch. I pull and pull trying to get out. Will stays behind. I motion for him to go, but he doesn't. It would be better for me to take the blow for this then both of us. "No man left behind." He whispers in my ear. I push him away, but he just walks back. I pull and pull trying to free my leg. I hear a pop and feel pain rush through my leg. Caleb moves the leaves out of the way to see me and Will. "Tris!" He yells his face getting red with anger. "Who's that?" Cara asks moving him out of the way so she can see. She looks at me then looks behind me. "Will? What the heck?!"
"Who's will?"
"I asked first!" Cara says louder with every word.
"Tris is my sister." Caleb says looking at me "now who is will?"
"He is my brother."
"Sounds like our siblings decided to pay us a visit!" Caleb says sarcastically I am surprised. He has never been one for sarcasm.
"Yes, and that is why my foot is stuck in a branch" I chime in
"Oh god! Beatrice? Are you hurt do we need to get a doctor?" There is the abnegation in him! I hate to admit it, but that is the part I miss most about him.
"No, I am fine. I just need some help getting up." Cara and Will grab my arms while Caleb comes and untangles my foot. "There is some swelling. We should get you to a doctor." Caleb says going back to his Erudite personality. "I am fine, it doesn't hurt."
"That is probably the adrenaline coursing through your bloodstream. I can get you to a doctor, then we are all going to have a discussion on why you are here." Will carries me to the infirmary. "What do we have here?" A doctor asks.
"Either fractured or sprained ankle."
"That should be an easy fix. Let me get an X-ray." They walk into a room with a glass screen. They give me a vest. When they hand it too me I drop it not expecting it to be that heavy. Caleb laughs. "It's a lead vest. It is going to be heavy." I stick my tounge out at him then put the vest on. They put my leg on a table. After a minute the doctor comes in with some pictures. "Luckily your ankle isn't broken." I sigh with relief. "It is, however, sprained." I tense up again. "Lucky you, though we have just developed a new serum that helps joints and bones repair. Take this and stay off your ankle for the rest of the night. In the morning it should be as good as new." He hands me a syringe. "I assume you don't like people giving you serum?"
"Yes, how did you know."
"Most dauntless are like that. The serum they give them shows them their worst fears. I came to the conclusion that most of them suffer from PTSD." I nod my head and put the needle to my neck. I stick the needle in and feel a slight prick. I press the plunger and the red liquid goes into my blood stream. I start to feel dizzy. "Dizziness is a side effect. It should stop in about two to three minutes." I nod and take off the vest. Will comes in and picks me up. We follow Caleb to an apartment. He unlocks the door and we walk inside. Will lays me down on the couch. "What were you doing here?" Caleb asks. I try to come up with a lie. "We wanted to see you two." Will says
"Then why did you hide in a bush?" He has us there. Will again comes up with an answer. "Tris fell and got stuck in the bush."
"Then why didn't you come and ask for help?"
"Tris and I didn't want to ruin your moment with Cara." Cara and Caleb turn bright red.
"Then why-"
"No more questions. Just because you are Erudite now doesn't mean you have to ask a bunch of questions." I interrupt.
Will turns around and gives me a smile he mouth "thank you" and turns back to Caleb and Cara.
"I don't believe it for one second."
"Why not?" I ask.
"There would have been a lot more noise if you had fallen and tried to get out." She explains. She has us there. Will turns around and we both nod. "I saw you two in the security system making plans for tonight."
"He told me and we decided that we would see what y'all were going to do." I explain
"You are such a hypocrite, Beatrice!" Caleb yells
"Don't call me that! I have told you! I go by Tris now!"
"I don't care what I call you! You expect me to just be fine with you dating that Four guy when you can't be fine about me dating Cara?!"
"I am sorry, but I am the hypocrite? You are the one who yelled at me for kissing Four And here you are kissing her!" I motion to Cara.
"I think we should all calm down. Will and Tris, was it?" I nod. "you can stay with us tonight."
"Thank you!" Will says hugging Cara.
She shows him to the guest bedroom and I sleep on the couch.
I wake up and look at the clock. It says 8:30
Crap! Tobias has already left for work. I run and get Will up. "What?" He asks rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "I hope you don't mind being late, but we've got to leave like now." I say. He looks at the clock and his eyes open wide "we have two minutes till the train gets here!"
"Then we better start running!" I remark.
We run through the halls pushing our way through people. We make it to the platform right as the train arrives. I grab a handle and get in. I sit And look down. I notice the bruise on my ankle. I had forgotten about last night. We wait for twenty minutes or so before we jump off. When we jump off We starts running down the stairs to the pit. Will runs toward the control room, but I head back to the apartment to get ready. I get ready and head to work. "Do you have an answer?" Max asks as I walk down the hall to my office.
"I will after lunch." I say.
"You have until then."
