Hey guys sorry for the late post! I will explain why at the end. This chapter is in Uriah's POV I hope you Enjoy!
Uriah's POV:
People were piled up on top of each other. I was against a wall trying to keep from getting pulled into the fight. Sure, I was a good fighter, but I don't think I want to get involved in this. "Shut up! You dimwits!" I hear Piper yell "I am on the phone with a leader!" I hope it isn't Tris. She would automatically assume it was me who started it. I don't want that spreading around. The men keep on fighting. She hangs up the phone and walks over. She puts her hand to her mouth and gives a sharp whistle. "What did I tell you to do?!" She demands. "Everyone give me twenty right now!" She yells. Everyone gets to the ground and starts doing push-ups. I don't argue I just do it. We had just gotten back from our morning patrol. She paces back and forth as we do our pushups. "Alright! Everyone stop. Next time you want to fight try not to do it while I am on the phone with one of the people that out rank all of us."
Everyone looks confused. She lets out a sigh "a leader."
Everyone stands and straightens up. "We all have to do our afternoon patrol quickly, because I have a meeting at 14:00 and I can't have anyone out here without my supervision" she says "squadron five, you are in the tent" Ethan groans. He leads us over to the tent. We have some medical staff with us. No doubt they are here to help those who get hurt. He walks us over to a cabinet full of green liquid. "Peace serum." He says "this stuff is mainly used in Amity, but we use it here to keep the factionless from killing each other." He pulls out a syringe. And starts to twist it around in front of his face."The smaller they are the smaller the dosage" he puts the syringe he just pulled out up and walks to the desk. "Come on." He says. We walk to the desk with him and he pulls out a bag. "I assume you didn't bring lunch?"
"No." We say
"Here." He pulls out an assortment of sandwiches. We each grab one and eat it. We wait for what felt like hours for someone to come in. She is fighting the police trying to loosen their grip. They strap her to the chair and Ethan walks over to her. He motions for us to come over. "Uriah I think you understand how to do this." He says measuring out the peace serum. "Yes I do." I reply taking the syringe from him. I walk over to the woman and move her hair out of the way. She strains and I insert the needle into her neck. I press the plunger and watch as the green liquid goes into her system. She starts to doze off. She wakes up smiling. "Hi." She says "it isn't very nice to have me all strapped up." She says. I come over and unstrap her. "Thank you." She says booping my nose.
"No problem" I help her down and she stumbles. I catch her.
"You're cute." She says wrapping her arms around my neck.
"I am also taken." I say walking her to the exit. She pouts.
"I am sure whoever your with won't find out." She whispers in my ear.
"I don't think she would like that though." I say pulling her off me.
"Uriah, stop flirting for a sec. we need her name." Ethan yells
"No need to yell." The girls says
"What's your name?" I ask
"Avery." She says
"Avery." I say louder "that is a nice name."
Ethan writes something down on the sheet of paper. I walk her out the tent and put her in one of the trucks. They drive away and I walk back.
Nothing else happened at work. I get on the train and go back to dauntless. Everyone else is with me. Piper has a meeting and we have to leave with her so we aren't out there without any supervision. I jump out at the building and walk to the door. I open it and walk down the stairs. Everyone is still at work, so I go to the training area. I punch a bag for a while. At 15:00 I realize that the dependents are getting back from school around this time. I don't have anything else to do, so why not make some new friends. I go to the dining hall to see if anyone is there. No doubt about it there are the older kids. They are eating snacks and doing Homework. I look at on guy all alone just eating a price of cake. He is pale and blonde with big blue eyes. You couldn't tell from his posture right now, but he looked to be tall. He keeps looking over at a girl and a guy kissing on the other side of the room. I slide into the chair next to him. "Hey!" I say. He jumps and looks at me
"Hi." He says in a sad tone.
"Cheer up!"
"I don't think I can."
"What's wrong?" I ask. I don't like talking about feelings, but I can't leave a guy like this!
"See those two over there." He nods to the two kissing.
"Yeah."
"She was my girlfriend and he was my best friend."
"So he stole your girl?" I ask. He nods. That is just cold! You do not do that to a person!
I stand up and walk over to them. "Hey." I say when I get there. They startle and I smirk. "Do you know who that is over there?" I ask pointing to the boy.
"Yeah, that's Bentley." The guy says.
"Was he your friend?" I ask
"Yeah, he is."
"I doubt that." I say
"What do you mean?"
"Friends don't steal other friends girls." I say. He stands up. He is probably about two or three inches taller than me.
"What are you going to do about it?" He asks. I punch him in the gut and he doubles over. I then punch him in the jaw.
"That." I say walking away.
"Dude! That was awesome!" Bentley says obviously cheered up.
"You know it!"
"I wish I had a brother or someone who would do that!" He says
"you don't have a brother?" I ask
"I do, but he is six." I smile
"So you are an older brother?"
"Yes."
"I am a younger brother."
"Lucky!" He says
"Are you kidding me the eldest is always the favorite!" I say. It has been obvious my entire life. Zeke was the favorite child.
"No way! The youngest gets the most attention!" He argues back. I push him slightly. "What's your name?" He asks
"Uriah." Ianswer
"I am-"
"Bentley. Your ex-best friend told me."
"Yes."
"So, What do you say we prank my older brother?" I ask.
"I don't know, who is it?"
"Zeke Pedrad."
"He is a prank legend! Aren't you worried about starting a prank war?" He asks
"We have been in one for five years." I say. I remember the first shot like it was yesterday. He put pink hair dye in my shampoo. It's the oldest trick in the book, but oh did it start a prank war."now do you want to help me or not?"
"Count me in." He says
"Follow me my apprentice." I say getting up. My ban on the store has just been lifted, so I can actually go buy things now. "Why are we at the store?" Bentley asks
"We need some things."I reply
"Like what?"
"Two air horns, Pop-it's, googlie eyes, and sticky notes."
"Sounds like the shopping list of an insane person." He says
"Who said I wasn't insane?" We grab everything on my list.
"Follow me." I say walking towards Zeke' a apartment. Last time I was here I stole his spare key card. I pull it out of my pocket and show it to Bentley.
"Where did you get that?" He asks
"I stole it."
"Aren't you worried you'll get caught?" He ask
"Nah" I shake my head. I insert the key card and the door unlocks. I walk in.
"Take the googlie eyes." I say
"What do you want me to do with them?" He asks
"Put two on every item in the fridge."
"So put faces on them?" I nod. While he is doing that I am going to set up the other pranks. First prank is for the door. I find the duct tape in his junk drawer and tape it to the wall. Now, when he opens the door the air horn will go off! The second prank is very similar. I take another air horn and put it under his office chair. When he sits in it the air horn will go off. The third prank is simple. I put a sticky note on the back of his mouse. Now he can't use it. I, of course saved the best for last. I put pop-it's on the bottom of the toilet seat so that when either him or Shauna sits on it it will pop!
"Done!" I hear Bentley say. I look in the fridge and see eyes everywhere. I grab one last sticky note and write "we're watching you." On it. I stick it on the fridge and set up hidden cameras. We clean up the area and leave before anyone can get home. We walk to my apartment and connect the computer to the cameras. Shauna walks in the door. HONK the air horns go off and freak her out. She shrugs it off and closes the door. "Yeah, mhm, ok lyne, I have to go. I am going to surprise Zeke tonight." She says. "Yeah, it's our anniversary. I am making a slideshow and dinner. Mhm I know sweet. I have to go. Bye." She walks into the bathroom. POP the pop-it's go off and she screams. I watch her walk out of the bathroom. Her eyes are wide open. Bentley and I are rolling on the ground laughing at this point. She walks over to the computer. She sits down in the chair and the air horn goes off. She rips it from the chair and throws it. Then she tries to make the slide show using the mouse. She is banging the mouse against the desk. She turns it upside down and there is the sticky note. "Love Uriah." She reads aloud. Her face gets bright red with anger. She rips off the sticky note and works on the slideshow. There were pictures of them on their first date and lots more. When she finished she went to the kitchen to make dinner. She grabs the pasta and opens the fridge to grab out the marinara sauce. "What the hell!!" She yells when she opens the fridge. She pulls out her phone. She calls me, but I don't pick up. She then calls Zeke. "Listen up! All I tried to do was have a romantic evening with my boyfriend for our anniversary. But, no your stupid, immature prank war got in the way! I don't care if this Prank war is older than our relationship. No, You are going to come home right now and help fix dinner to make up for it!" She yells. "I don't care if you are at work. What, am I talking too loud? Can the entire office hear me? Well you listen up here!!! You are going to have your butt in this apartment in the next five minutes helping me make dinner for our romantic night, or you can stay at work and forget about the entire night as a whole! And I mean everything!" She yells "Yes this is about your stupid prank war!! What else would it be about? No, I am not on my period!!! Shut up and get your butt home now. Good bye!" She says. She plops down on the couch and let's out a sigh. Zeke bursts through the door a minute later out of breath. "Good, you can make dinner." She says. I turn off the monitor and we start laughing. "So that's your brother's girlfriend I assume." Bentley asks
"Yeah why."
"Just curious."
I look at my watch. "Come on, I have some other people I want you to meet." I say. He hasn't met Four, Tris, Will, Christina, or Marlene yet!
