Chapter 20!

GUYS, It's about time for everyone to chime in on the baby name, so if you have a name to share: SHARE!
PM, review what you think is a nice name :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Divergent, unfortunately.

Iris

I was very relieved after telling all our friends everything that was going on. I trusted those guys with my life, and I would probably have to entrust them with my life soon. It was the next day as I lied in bed, pretending I was way too ill to go through my landscape, my face whitened due to a lot of Shauna's make up, and a burning body because of having eaten a few peppers; causing me to sweat like a pig.

Tobias had wrapped me up in a couple of blankets, making it hotter than it already was. Which was good, because Jeanine would probably come to the dorm to check up on me. I was slightly scared of her. Rewind... I swallowed thickly. I was really scared of her.

'I'm next,' Jenna said, her voice trembling slightly. 'You'll do great, J. I have all faith in you,' I said, trying to face her by wiggling onto my other side. 'I'll wait until Tim is back so he can watch you, okay?' She said softly, knowing she couldn't leave me without supervision because I was supposed to be really ill; I couldn't speak for myself.

I nodded and gave her a small grin. 'I'd grab your hand right now, but I'm kind of mummified. So, I'm mentally letting you pinch my hand until it's crushed and practically bleeding, as usual.'

She burst out into laughter and shook her head. 'I don't do that.' I raised my eyebrows and she mimicked me, then sighed.'All right, I guess I do, stop nagging.' I laughed and nodded. After a little while of nervous babbling on Jenna's behalf, Tim walked back in, looking like he'd just seen a ghost. 'Your turn,' he whispered at Jenna and sat down on his bed.

'Good luck, J,' I said. She nodded nervously. 'I'll see you later. You good luck too, Ris.' She walked out after having patted Tim's shoulder, and closed the door behind her. 'I think I may be lucky with having just five fears,' I admitted when I caught Tim eyeing me. He smiled weakly and nodded. 'I have ten, and they're all equally terrible,' he said, then walked over to Jenna's bed to keep me company.

'Why do my sisters and my parents all have to have a single fear to die, can't they just die at the same time, for my sake in the fear landscape?' He moped. I choked on my breath and laughed. 'It would save you some heart attacks, yes.' He grinned and shook his head.

He got some colour back onto his face as we kept talking, waiting for Jeanine to come in. However... She never did, but Eric did. He walked in, looking invincible in some sort of way. 'What have I heard, Stiff?' He said with an emotionless smile. 'You're ill?' Tim stood up and took his place in front of my bed. 'Leave, Eric, she's not well,' he said firmly. Eric laughed a joyless laugh, taking steps towards us. 'Yeah, I've heard that you would play ill, right?'

My heart stopped beating. How did he know that? The only ones I had told about that plan were my friends, and from this angle, Tim seemed as shocked about Eric knowing the plan as I was. He hadn't told on me, thankfully, because I had grown to love Tim, and I would be truly broken if he had told Eric the plan.

That, however, also left open the spot for the one who did tell. It hadn't been Tobias, Jenna, Rick or Zeke, I was sure of it. I didn't suspect Shauna either, as she had been so close with my brother lately that she couldn't have done it; my brother would not appreciate it- keeping my language decent.

That left the spot for Dax and Jace...

It broke my heart that either of them could have done that, that one of them could have had the heart to do that. My eyes became blurry as I wiggled out of my blankets an jumped up next to Tim. 'It's a trap, we have to get out of here,' I said quickly, pulling him with me, but Eric stopped us by raising his hand perfunctorily.

'You don't even have to try, Stiff. I've heard that the two of you and that other Stiff are Divergent. That means I have to take you to Erudite so Jeanine can test you,' he said, his eyes looked empty. No emotions, he was just a psychopath. My heart was beating frantically, he scared the crap out of me. There was no way we could get out of here, he would probably have some back up behind that door.

'And besides,' he said, staring into my eyes. 'I heard you're expecting a baby from my best friend Four,' he said, pausing shortly. 'Or should I say my enemy Tobias?' I gasped and put my hand on my stomach. 'Eric, please, what ever this is just take me with you but leave Tim and Jenna here,' I begged, walking up to him. Tim tried to pull me back, but Eric was quicker. 'GUYS,' he called, and a few armed men burst through the door, grabbing both Tim and me. 'Think about it Stiff, if you yell or scream, we will kill your precious Tobias,' he snapped at me, and gave orders to the men to take us away.

'Tim, I am so sorry,' I said to my friend, who looked scared. He shook his head, 'it's not your fault. We will find the person who told on you.' I grabbed his hand quickly and pinched it, before we were pulled apart and were put on blindfolds.

Tobias

Zeke was sitting beside me, fiddling his fingers. He jumped up for the third time in ten minutes and started pacing. 'Zeke, calm down man, I bet she's out by now,' I said, checking my watch. 'Then why isn't she here yet?' He groaned loudly and sat down again.

'Four, J's my girl. What if Jeanine takes her because she realises Jenna's Divergent?' He hissed. I shook my head. 'Jenna knows what's at stake, she'll be fine,' I said, trying to calm him down.

My words didn't represent my feelings at all. I was scared to death that our plan wouldn't work, and Jeanine would force Iris to go through her landscape anyway. She hadn't had enough time to practice, so if she had to go through it, Amar would tell me so I could run off with her.

Not really the best plan we had ever come up with, but it was the best we could do on such short notice.

'Hey guys,' we heard Rick say behind us. Zeke jumped up, being startled by Rick who laughed. 'Dude, it will be okay,' he said as he sat down across from us. 'My sister will do great, don't worry so much,' he said with a nod.

Zeke sighed and nodded. 'I know, but, well, yeah. I...' He fiddled his finger again. Rick and I grinned at each other. 'you love her,' Rick said. Zeke's mouth fell open and he looked at Rick, then at me, then at Rick again.

He didn't know what to say, so he turned fifty shades of red. 'Don't kill me, all right?' He said to Rick as he rubbed his neck. Rick shook his head and patted Zeke's shoulder. 'Welcome to the family bro,' he said with a genuine smile.

Zeke looked truly happy for a second, when we were interrupted by Layla. 'You should wait with that,' she said. I looked up, being annoyed already, but when I saw her face, I knew that her comment wasn't meant to be mean. Her blue eyes looked worried, and her blond hair was messed up, like she'd been running through all halls of Dauntless.

'Four, can I talk to you?' She asked impatiently. I raised my eyebrows as I nodded and followed her. 'I know this will sound weird, because it comes from me,' she started but shook her head. 'I am not the person you think I am. Not that it really matters what you think of me, but it does matter that you know I'm not Eric's dog.'

What? Why did she tell me that, and did she seriously expect me to believe her? 'Yeah right, and I'm supposed to believe that you're suddenly on our side for some strange reason?' I snapped.

She nodded her head quickly. 'Four, it's hard to believe, but I'm actually from Candor. Our leader Jack hired me to track down Jeanine and befriend her apprentice Eric to find out what they're planning- just like you,' she said with a hand on her heart. My heart skipped a beat, how did she know that?

'Yes, I know about that. I overheard a conversation of you and Iris. I never told Eric, I promise. But we do have a problem,' she said and pushed back her hair.

'I visited Eric this morning, and he told me about your get together from yesterday. First of all, congratulations on your baby, second of all; one of your friends blabbed the story to Eric, finally; you HAVE to get the hell out of here and take Jenna, Tim and Iris with you,' she said, looking around her frantically.

I raised my eyebrows, that was the first moment I actually thought of believing her. How else did she know about yesterday evening, AND IRIS BEING PREGNANT? I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth. 'Who told you?' I growled.

She looked at the ground and shifted on her other leg. 'It was Jace, he was scared about being factionless at the end of this. He told us everything and Eric immediately set a plan in motion. He knows about Iris pretending to be ill, so before he gets to her, you have to run for it. He's going to take them to Erudite, Tobias,' she said firmly.

My knees grew weak. I had to check on my friends, IMMEDIATELY. 'How do I know you're speaking the truth?' I asked with a trembling voice. She shook her head, her eyes genuine. 'You don't,' she admitted. 'But I'm not your enemy at the moment.'

I nodded. 'Thank you, Layla,' I whispered. 'But if you're messing with me, I will probably kill you...' I said, then shook my head. 'No, I will MOST DEFINITELY kill you,' I corrected. She smiled. 'I'd expect you to.'

I ran over to Zeke and Rick. 'We need to check on Iris, Jenna and Tim. NOW,' I called, and started running towards the dorm. Zeke and Rick followed close behind, screaming about what was happening and why we were trusting Layla.

We ran into the dorm and scanned the room. 'WHERE ARE THEY?!' Rick thundered. 'Eric has them already,' Layla called from the doorway. 'He's on his way to Erudite!' 'And why are you willing to blow your cover?' Zeke asked as we ran through the cafeteria, over to the way out and towards the fence.

'I'm not willing to sacrifice good people I want to befriend once this is over to spend time with an asshole whom I LOATHE,' she called back, pointing at the fence. 'There they are!'

We ran over to the train of cars that were just passing through the gate. 'STOP THOSE CARS,' Zeke and I yelled in unison and turned our speed up a notch. We were able to jump onto the last car, trying to open the door. 'LET THEM OUT!' Rick yelled and hit the window. I kicked the door, causing the driver's window to break.

'FOUR!' I heard Jenna scream from inside the car. 'JENNA!' Zeke, Rick and I yelled. 'THEY'RE TAKING US TO ERUDITE, TO TEST US, THEY KNOW EVERYTHING!' She screamed, but then the car started driving. 'WE WILL SAVE YOU!' Zeke yelled after her, and the car raced off.

I squatted down and my hands gripped my hair as a lump formed in my throat. 'Holy shit,' Rick said, his voice muffled by his hands. Zeke squatted down next to me and slapped my shoulder. 'We have to save them.' I nodded, but how could we do that? I gritted my teeth.

We would have to intrude Erudite.
