Chapter 1: A Disastrous Choosing Ceremony!

Hola Twistinians! I'm back with another part to this story, which is actually the first chapter.

Thanks to my Beta reader Chickenlover313 for helping me.

-Tris' pov-

Today is the day of my choosing ceremony. It is also Caleb's 21st birthday. I have always dreaded this day. I will see him again after 2 years. The man, who has given me the worst pain in my life, but he also gave me something that I cannot tell him ever.

"Are you ready Tris, for becoming a member of the White Rose?" Mom asked me, while she sensed my anxiety.

"Yes, I am, Mom. Where's Rose?"

"She's still sleeping. Do you want her to come to the ceremony?"

"Yes, I do,"

"But you know what will happen if he sees her. He will realize that she is his daughter." Mom says, while I think of him. Whatever I remembered about him wasn't pleasant at all.

After a few minutes I answered back, "I want my daughter with me mom. She's my lucky charm. I don't think that he will realize that she is a part of him as well as a part of m-"

I wanted to say more but mom cut me off by saying, "How long will you hate that man? He gave you a part of him. I know that he loves you as much as you love h-"

This time I interrupted her and said, "Mom, I don't love him anymore. I hate him as much as I loved him,"

Does he know about her?"

"No, he doesn't know about Rose!"

"Why?"

"Because the day he broke up with me, I got to know that I was two months pregnant,"

"Did you find out before or after he broke up?"

"Before., I replied back while getting ready for the ceremony.

"Do you remember that her first word was dadda and still you don't want him to know about her?" she said. I could feel the gears turning in my head as I tried to find an answer.

"Mom, just promise that you won't tell him," I begged.

"Okay, I won't. I just want you to be happy. I know what your real happiness is,"

"What are you saying mom? Who would be my happiness?"

"I guess you have to wait for the answer itself, because the answer is right in front of you. Reach for that opportunity!" Mom said, leaving me behind, super confused.

Soon after she left, I went to Rose's room, woke her up, got her dressed and went downstairs with her in my arms.

"Mamma me not small anymore, me can walk douwnstairs," Rose said in her baby voice. I looked into her eyes and I swear I could drown into them. She has his eyes.

"Mamma whaaat? Youu not staring at me, you should stare at the wall,"

"How can I not stare at my beautiful daughter?!"

Even when she frowns, she looks like her father. I can't get over him, but I'll have to. The damage will be done and this time it will be my fault.

Mom had made breakfast for us all and had invited my cousin Peter, his girlfriend Molly and his sidekick Drew. They're choosing today as well as me and my friends. The breakfast was so delicious. Rose was definitely enjoying the attention of her uncle Amar a lot.

"So Rosita, what are you going to do today?" My brother asked her while trying to initiate a conversation with her.

"Me do nooot knoe uuncle Amar,"

"Why not?" He asked her with big eyes.

"Becauuse me waant to sleeep and noot taalk to youu," the little one said. Although the comment was quite savage, I glared at her for talking to Amar like that. She shot the look right back to me. She really is Tobias' daughter. The glare she was giving me was the same intimidating glare as his. I was just lost in my thoughts about him and how I wished I would have never loved him. I then mentally slapped myself for thinking that, because I thought about Rose. I would have never ever had her if it wasn't for "our relationship". I know that I cannot love ever again. But I can live with it as long as I have someone I love more than myself. And that's my daughter.

"What's wrong Tris?" Peter asked.

"Nothing, I just want to get over with the Choosing Ceremony,"

"Let me guess. Is it…. Because of him?!" Peter stated the fact like a "champion".

"Who?" My concerned brother asked me.

I answered back, "Caleb,"

"You don't want to see him? He's our brother Tris,"

"Not anymore. He's a traitor and my brother cannot be a traitor," I said before taking a deep breath.

Luckily, Amar didn't say anything.

As soon as everyone was finished, we drove to the Hub, where we have to choose our futures, affecting us for the rest of our lives. Rose was ignoring me after our glare-off, so I tried to talk to her.

I said to her, "In 16 years, you'll be choosing one of these two sides. And I will love you no matter what you decide. You still will be my princess," My eyes were full of tears.

"Mamma, noo cryying pleasse!?" she looked angrily at me as I wiped my tears away. For a two year old, she was very intelligent. I hope that she can make a change in this world when she's older. After approximately ten minutes, we had reached our destination. As I walked up the twelve flights of stairs, I started panting. When I nearly reached the last step of the stairs, I lost my balance. I was going to fall. I closed my eyes, preparing for the fall that never came. When I opened my eyes, I noticed that I didn't fall. I looked straight into a beautiful pair of blue eyes and I was lost into them.

"Are you alright Tris?" He asked me while his voice was laced with concern. I definitely don't want to talk to him.

"I'm fine. Thanks," My brain stopped functioning and I started to want to say more. But Amar interrupted us. "You can let go off my sister now," He glared at Tobias, before turning towards me with Rose in his arms. "Tris, if you walked a bit slower, you wouldn't have lost your balance," he said.

Then, he pointed towards Rose and said, "You have this little one to take care of,"

Tobias stared at Rose with utter disbelief, before he said, "I will let go off your sister, but first I need to talk to her," Amar couldn't say anything as Tobias dragged me towards an empty room.

He thoughtfully looked at me. "Is she my daughter?" He asked me. And at that moment I was perplexed but I stuttered out: "No-o, sh-he is-s not-t your-r daughter-r. Ple-ease le-eave me-e alone-e Tob-bias."

"Your stuttering tells me another story. I can tell by your eyes Tris," he said. I was rooted to the spot. I don't want to talk to him. What does he want? I think, but I know the answer. The truth. "I'm sorry for what I did and I hope you'll find someone, who can give you what you deserve," he finished before he left. I saw that a tear dropped from his face. Something was breaking from the inside, while my brain told me not to think about him, but my revenge. I was furious and guilty. But I had done nothing wrong, right? After I had regained my posture, I went to the right room, where the choosing ceremony would take place.

I found the open space, where I have to wait till it's my time to choose. I will be one of the last ones, which kinda sucks, but whatever.

The representatives of both sides stood on the stage, each of them had a microphone each. Both speeches were different. While The Black Angels were insulting us, The White Rose were defending themselves. It was too tiring to listen to them, so I just shouted,

"SHUT THE F*CK UP, WOULD YOU?!"

"But ma'am, he was insulting your family!?" Our representative said. I fiercely answered back: "So what? I do not care about what he says. He does not know my family or me. So why give a shit?!"

"So if I don't know anything about your family. Can I ask you something if you don't mind?!"

"Ask away,"

"Is it true that your daughter is Tobias Eaton's daughter?!"

My confident, fierce face suddenly dropped.

"No, she is not my daughter, but the daughter of the woman I love," He shouted and all the heads turned towards him and then back towards me. What the hell did just happen?

AN

Back with a cliffhanger, which will explained in the other chapter;-)

So guys I need to make something clear and that is that Tris is 18 and the rest of the gang is too as well as Tris had Rose, when she was 16.
