Tris POV (one week later)
"Why didn't we do this last night?!" Tobias says frantically searching around
"Because they gave us our clothes like ten minutes ago... where is the-"
"Toiletries!" He yells throwing a bag at me. I was in the middle of folding one of his red shirts and placing it in our bag. It hits me.
"Ow!" I say laughing. I keep on placing clothes in the bag. "When does the train come?"
"About one hour ago."
"OH MY GOD!" I scream
"Relax! It doesn't actually come for another five minutes." Like that makes it better! I could live with taking the next train, but now I only have five minutes!!! I stuff the rest of our clothes into the bag.
"Let's go!" I yell. He grabs the bag that I had forgotten to pick up after he threw it at me. We run through the corridors trying not to make a noise. We have to leave at three in the morning so that no one sees or hears us leaving. We told our friends that we had wall duty for the next month. Hopefully that should be enough for them to not get suspicious. We run out the door to the platform to meet Max.
"You're late." He says
"We didn't miss the train, so I prefer the term on time." I say out of breath.
"Here are your profiles. Stay low and try not to draw too much attention to yourself." We nod. He hands us two files, turns around, and walks away. He stops and looks back. "For the next week you are the people in these files. You will follow the description to a T. You will live, breath, and think like your assigned person." He turns back around and walks through the door to the compound.
"Come on, the train is almost here." Tobias says. We walk to the edge of the platform and wait. The train comes rushing by and we run right next to it. Tobias pulls himself in while I still run beside the car. Instead of letting me pull myself in he scoops me up. I let out a little scream when he does so.
"Shhhh" Tobias says putting a hand over my mouth. "We are trying to stay quiet. Can you do that?" I nod and he removes the hand.
"Put me down." I say laughing. He does as he was requested. I sit down to look at the file. It has everything we would need. A key to a house, ID's, and a briefing of what we were supposed to be like. Tobias lets out a snicker. "What?" I ask
"My name is a TREE!" He just about gets out through his laughing.
"What?!" I ask stealing his files. I read it.
Name: Cedar Woodley.
Age: 18
Birth faction: Amity
Faction: Amity
Cedar is a quiet boy who doesn't like to be around people. He gets nervous when meeting new people and usually stays quiet and against the wall. He usually works in the kitchens helping the chefs with making bread, pie, and other foods.
"Oh my god!" I say laughing
"Let's see yours." He says. I slowly open the file and move the ID card and keys out of the way.
Serenity White
Age:16
Birth faction: Candor
Faction: Amity
Serenity is usually a very sweet, gentle girl. She likes to socialize and enjoys the company of many. She usually works in the orchard harvesting peaches, apples, and other fruits.
"Why do you get to be social?" Tobias asks
"Because I was the one who was actually assigned the mission." I say laughing. We are starting to come close to the wall. Right outside of it are the Amity farms and compound. "Come on, Cedar." I say jumping off the train. "Fine, Serenity." He says jumping right after me. "How is this supposed to work anyways?" He asks
"I have no idea. Let's worry about that once we are actually in the compound." We walk to the gate. Max had made sure that people would let us through to get to the compound.
"Hi!" A voice says in the shadows. I grab a branch. Being in Amity means no weapons, so I have to use my surroundings.
"Relax, I am here to help." They say coming out of the shadows. I can just make out the figure of a woman. She looks to be about my mothers age.
"My name is Lilly, this is River." A man no older than Tobias comes out from behind the wall.
"Hello." He comes and hugs us. Being hugged by a complete stranger is weird. I stiffen up when he hugs me. He laughs.
"You are going to have to learn how to hug if you are going to be here...Follow me." He walks us over to a small hut. I take my key and unlock it. The place was small, but had all the essentials.
"Where's the kitchen?" I ask
"We all eat together in the cafeteria. It helps bring us closer as a family." River says
"But you aren't a family."
"We believe that your faction is your family. Wake up is supposed to be in one hour. I would recommend you get changed." He says hugging us one last time. He walks to the door and walks out. "This is going to be a long week." I say throwing myself on the bed. "Tell me about it." Tobias says doing the same thing. We get changed into our amity clothes. They are actually quite comfortable. At 6:00 people start waking up. I help Tobias adjust his collar to cover his tattoo. "Let's get down to the cafeteria for breakfast." I say.
"Do we have to?" He whines
"Yes, we don't want to act suspicious. Come on." He groans and walks out the door with me. The sky is pink from the sun rising. We walk taking in the smell of grass. "I assume I have to go to the kitchen." Tobias grumbles walking through the door with me.
"Put a smile on your face." I say pushing his arm. He gives me a cheesy grin. "Better" the cafeteria is full of people. Talking and laughter engulfs the room.
"Bye" Tobias says planting a kiss on my forehead.
"Bye." I walk over to a table to sit. Breakfast isn't going to be ready for a little while so I might as well sit and wait. I go over to one of the tables with an empty seat. There was a blonde boy talking and laughing with some others. "Excuse me, is this seat taken?" I ask tapping his shoulder.
"No, I don't belie- Beatrice? What are you doing here?" He asks turning around. I barely recognized him, except for the voice. That was the voice of Robert Black.
Tobias' POV:
After kissing Tris, excuse me, Serenity Goodbye I walk into the kitchen. There were two people in there. Lilly was standing over the counter mixing a batter and a boy who wasn't much younger than Tris was kneading a dough. "Umm, Mom." He says after noticing that I was standing there. She looks up from the batter and smiles brighter.
"Oh, Cedar! I forgot you were going to be in the Kitchen today! This is my son, Asher. He volunteered to work with me in the kitchens today." Asher turns around. He doesn't look all that much like his mother, except for the eyes. Their eyes are almost identical. He doesn't look very Amity either. Sure, he has the smile, but his posture was heavy like he was angry or upset. "Hi." I say putting my hand out for him to shake. Stupid! I quickly retract my hand and run my fingers through my hair. I step in and hug him. It is quite odd to be hugging someone I barely even know. I went from Abnegation where Marcus would keep me in the house, and when I was outside if I made any physical contact with anyone I would most definitely be dead before the next morning. To dauntless where If you try to hug someone you barely know you will likely end up on your back within seconds, so this definitely feels very weird. I back away and he goes back to kneading the dough. "Will you please mix this? I have to heat the pan." Lilly says handing me a bowl and whisk. I mix the batter as she heats the pans.
"What are you making?" I ask
"Pancakes, toast, and oatmeal with fruit." She replies. "You can stop mixing." I stop and hand her the bowl. She pours some of the batter into the pan. "What do you need me to do now?" I ask
"Everything else is done. Can you please go set it up?" She asks.
"Yes ma'am." I say grabbing the tub of oatmeal." I put it in one of the empty spots. I do the same with the toast. "Where is the fruit?" I Ask
"Oh dear! I forgot to cut the fruit!" She exclaims flipping the pancakes.
"Don't worry," I say "I have some excellent skills with knives." I say grabbing one and an apple. I dice it up real quickly and put it in the tub. I do the same with more apples, some strawberries, and some peaches. Lilly puts the pancakes in a bin and places it at the beginning of the line. I place the fruit at the end with some sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Lilly pulls a rope and the screen that was separating us from the cafeteria lifts. Everyone gets in a long straight line. We feed everyone giving them a little bit of everything. It was very organized. Everyone who received food would say "please" and "thank you" or even "bless you" when they left. I assume being a Dauntless chef is a lot worse. I grab myself a plate with a pancake, toast, oatmeal with sugar, and strawberries. Lilly made the perfect amount for everyone to get one of everything. I walk out of the kitchen to find Tris and sit down.
Tris POV (happening while Tobias is helping Lilly):
"Who's Beatrice?" I ask Robbert
"Stop it, I would know you anywhere in anything." He says pulling the chair out for me. "Please join us. We are playing a card game." He gives me seven cards. It is some sort of matching game. We take turns matching one of our cards to the one in the middle. The first one to discard all their cards is the winner. "Now answer me, why are you here Beatrice?" He asks playing one of his cards.
"I told you, My name is Serenity and I don't know who Beatrice is." I say.
"Stop lying, please." He says calmly.
"Look, Robbert, please leave me alone, Like I said, my name is Serenity and I don't know a Beatrice."
"Ha, I never told you my name!" He says quietly.Crap! "Now what are you doing here?"
"Come with me." I say dragging him by the arm. I pull him outside so that no one can hear us.
"Beatrice!" He says hugging me. "Did you make it in dauntless?" He asks. I forgot that I haven't seen him since we toured the wall. Wow!
"Yes, I made it in Dauntless. That is actually why I am here." I say
"What? If your in dauntless how come you are in Amity?" He asks
"You are Amity right?" I ask
"Yes."
"Then you would do anything to keep the peace. Right?"
"Yes"
"If you tell anyone what I am about to tell you it will end in war." I say This time he just nods. I take a deep breath in. "I am staying in amity for the week as a mission for Dauntless. My name is Serenity while I am here, and you can't ask anything about Dauntless, Abnegation, or about the mission. Someone might over hear us."
"Okay." He says. We walk back inside and get into the line that was forming. We get a pancake, a piece of toast, and some oatmeal with peaches. We sit down back at our table and start eating. I must admit, this is really good. I can't show that I am enjoying it, because this is a normal Amity breakfast, but boy am I! Tobias is walking down the isles looking for a place to sit.
When he walks down this isle he sits next to me. "Hey, T...F..." I take a calm steady breath. I swear to God this is going to get confusing. "Cedar." I say slowly. He smiles as he eats his food. He is supposed to be the shy type, so I guess not talking is a part of having to be shy. We finish breakfast and Robert leads me to the orchards. The sweet smell of rotting apples and dirt fill my nose. "This is where you will be working until chores start at 2:00."
"We are up that late?!" I exclaim. Oh wait! I forgot! Amitys don't use military time. He means 2:00 in the afternoon. He laughs and shows me how to pick the fruit. I do so, waiting for something to actually happen. The strength I got from dauntless is definitely helping with climbing the trees to pick some of the fruit closer to the top of the trees. At 2:00 a bell goes off signaling that it is time for chores. I walk over to the cafeteria to see what I will be doing today. Tobias and I both walk over to Lilly at the same time. "Cedar will be doing deliveries. Serenity will be doing day care." She points over to a small building with a playground. "River should be there waiting for you." She says.
"Thank you," I say whilst walking over to the building she pointed to. I knock on the door and a girl opens it. "River," she yells "someone's here."
"What? Who?" He asks coming to the door "oh, Serenity!l. Come on in!" He holds the door wide open.
"I am supposed to be doing daycare for my chore today." I say
"Yes, you will be working with Rosie in the kindergarten section." He motions for the girl to come to him. "Hi." She says
"Hi."
"Come with me, today we are going to be doing an arts and Crafts class!" She says smiling. I walk with her into a room that is brightly painted.
"Okay everyone!" She says in a really sweet voice "today we have a new teacher! Her name is Miss Serenity! Everyone say hi to Miss serenity!"
"Hi Miss Serenity." They all day together. Children are adorable!
"Hello boys and girls!" I say "do you know what we are doing today?!"
"Arts and Crafts!" They say
"That's right! We are going to do arts and crafts today! Now, let's all be real quiet so that we can hear Miss Rosie speak." This is more for me than anyone. I never did arts and crafts growing up, so this is all new to me. Rosie explains how to string beads, make cards, and paint pots. I help with painting pots. After pick-up, I look a mess. Not to mention I haven't gotten a wink of sleep. I go straight home. Tobias is already waiting there for me. "What happened to you?" He asks when I walk in. My dress was covered in paint of every colour and my hands were covered in glitter.
"Kindergarten. That's what." I say falling on the bed. I don't even bother to change clothes. All I want to do is shut my eyes for a bit. Just a few minutes and I will be back to the energy filled me. I shut my eyes and fall asleep in a snap.
