Chapter 22!

I just want you all to know that I'm changing the rate from T to M because of some possible swearing and may-happen sexual content!

Thanks again so much for reading my story, and for some of you leaving reviews and PMs, it always makes my day.

A/N: I've started writing a new story called "Baked Love", also a Divergent story! So heads up for that one :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Divergent!

'DIE?!' Zeke exclaimed and grabbed Layla's shoulders. 'Zeke, I can't do anything about that verdict except for telling you we have to come up with a plan right this instant and get to work,' she said impatiently, shrugging him off and turning her chair towards the table.

She started mapping out the hallways of Erudite for as far she was able to remember them, and we hovered above her, coming up with plans as she drew. 'We've got one chance,' she warned us, and my eyes crossed Amar's. He looked worried, yet more determined than I'd ever seen him.

I nodded. 'We'll make it work.'

Two days went by, in which we came up with a plan and gathered all the needed supplies, like guns and ropes for climbing the Erudite headquarters. I was praying to God that they were still alive, willing to fight for them with every inch of my body.

I wanted my girlfriend back. I wanted to hold her, let my hand run through her silky golden blond hair... See that happy smile that shines through in her big green eyes.

I noticed that a lump was forming in my throat, and I swallowed thickly. I hadn't shown any other emotion than a determined attitude because I didn't want anyone telling me they felt sorry for me... So I couldn't start now.

I managed to swallow the lump, and stood up from the chair I'd been sitting on in the cafeteria. I saw a few men walking into the cafeteria and I knew they were there for me, which was a part of our plan. They weren't aware of that, though.

'It's time,' I stated, and watched the others nod.

'TOBIAS EATON,' I heard. The men were dressed in in blue Erudite outfits- yet they were clearly trained, possibly original Dauntless borns. They walked up to me as I stuck my hands in the air.

'Tobias, don't do this!' Shauna called, as rehearsed. 'We can protect you!' Zeke added. I shook my head. 'Guys, it's okay, I'll manage,' I said, and took a "final" look at my friends. They all looked worried, because they truly were, but I knew we'd be able to pull off this plan.

I gave up my identity so I could make my way into Erudite without being tested, because Jeanine had a deal with my father. I wasn't sure whether she would keep her promise to my father, but for once... He could be of immense use to me.

The men dragged me outside and practically threw me into a black car. I could've easily hit them down, but I had to listen to every word they told me... Which I disliked. I pulled myself up and sat down behind the driver. 'Where are you taking me,' I demanded, already knowing the answer.

'We're taking you to Jeanine and Marcus, they'll decide what to do with you,' the driver grunted, and drove off.

I stared outside during the ride, slightly apprehensive of what was awaiting me in Erudite. I didn't want to see my father, I never wanted to see him again. It was something I promised myself when Damon called me "son" for the first time, that I would never have to see my real father again.

Yet sometimes, promises had to be broken to save something- or in this case, someone, you love.

The drive went by quickly, and I grew more nervous every second. My palms were sweaty, and my forehead was sweating bullets. I just hoped that my friends were able to pull off their part of our plan...

ZEKE

Well damn in hell, I wasn't settling for this bullshit. We were going to get our loved ones back, even though it would take everything we had.

I'd grown to love Jenna more than anything. I wasn't usually the touchy-feely kind of guy, and often, it made me sick to the stomach when couples were "smutting" around, but I couldn't help myself near her.

I knew that I was fairly good at flirting, but I'd never been good at being a boyfriend and especially not at being affectionate in public. Yet always, when I saw her approaching me, with that shy smile and her slender frame and perfect figure, my mind just went blank and I kissed her hugged her like we hadn't seen each other in six months.

When I met her, in that train, I immediately knew that she was something different. The spark in her brown eyes, her smile that made my knees grow weak... And her touch, that made me feel like I could run 10 miles.

It hadn't taken her long to decide she liked me too, and maybe she even loved me... But I had to save her to find out, and return to our lives. I would't wait another second to tell her I loved her, and I could only hope for the same answer.

She was the one for me, and I hoped I was the one for her.

However, at that moment, we had a slight future problem, as we weren't entirely sure whether our friends would still be there.

As I couldn't picture without Jenna anymore, I couldn't picture my life without Iris anymore either. She'd become one of my best friends, and she was like a little sister to me. I would do everything for those girls, and I would have to soon enough.

And Tim... That guy was priceless. He was so funny, had we known each other earlier, we would've been best friends- which we became rather quickly once we'd got to know each other.

When Four was shipped off by a few guys from Erudite, our plan was set in motion. As he would be spending the day with Jeanine and Marcus, we would be stealing our friends back.

Yeah, the plan wasn't exactly waterproof, but the faster we went to save them, the better.

The most important part of the plan was Four stalling Jeanine. Layla would be sneaking into the control rooms with Rick, as they were both quite smart and knew the most of the computers. Especially Rick, he'd been volunteering in Erudite to fix computers back in Abnegation- who knew right?

The rest of us, being Shauna, Amar, Dax and I, would infiltrate Erudite to follow Layla's map and find the rooms where our friends were being held in. We would be wearing blue clothes and thanks to Layla's professional knowledge, we all had our own key cards and Erudite names.

We would have to blend in and try to be as casual as possible.

'Zeke,' Layla said, tugging my arm. I shook my head, pulling myself from my thoughts. 'It's time to go, I think that Four's car is about to drive away. We have to follow it,' she said. I nodded and jumped up.

Dax and I looked at each other, nodding as we did.

'I'm coming for you Jenna,' I mumbled as I ran after the others.

We were ready to fight.

TOBIAS

As I was walking through the hallways of Erudite, up to Jeanine's office, I checked my watch. The others should be changing into their Erudite outfits by now, waiting for a fair chance to walk in and mingle with other Erudites.

The idea slightly frightened me, because a few of us were obvious Dauntless soldiers, not smart asses. Rick and Zeke were fairly loquacious, and Layla had been living here long enough to know what to say and do, they could handle themselves.

But Dax and Shauna... They were the opposite of Erudites. They weren't dumb, no, but they were impulsive. Something a true Erudite was not and would never be.

'Haven't you cleared your schedule for this, Eaton?' One of the men who was dragging me along smirked, because I checked my watch. I rolled my eyes mentally and shook my head. 'No, I was planning on leaving as soon as Jeanine says I can go home for lunch time, all right?'

I was mentally patting myself on the shoulder for my remark, and so did the guy, yet slightly harder and not mentally. 'It's not a time for funny replies, so watch it,' he growled.

As we walked further, I obeyed and kept my mouth. However, that meant no more distraction from my own mind, causing images of Marcus to flash before my eyes. Images and memories of him screaming at me, chasing me and the angry look on his face.

This went on until we finally arrived at Jeanine's office. I swallowed thickly and shook my head to remove the images of Marcus hovering over me when I last saw him, beating me and kicking me.

One of the guys knocked on the door. 'Miss Matthews, Tobias Eaton is here.' There were a few moments of silence before I heard something move. I heard footsteps towards the door and suck in a last deep breath of freedom.

The door opened and Jeanine walked out, smiling emotionless as she saw me. 'Hello Tobias,' she said. Her voice would actually be pleasant to listen to, had she not kidnapped my friends.

She run her slender fingers through her short blond hair and nodded at the men. 'That would be all, thank you.' The men nodded adoringly and left. I nearly gagged, but I guess that adoration was the effect she had on all Erudites.

I was glad that I wasn't one of them.

'So,' she continued, looking at me. 'Four Masters, son of Damon Masters- Dauntless leader?' I felt my palms getting sweaty again, so I clenched them into fists. 'Yes,' I only said, trying to control my voice.

'I have to admit, it was a good cover. We had no idea where you were. What made you give it up?' She asked casually, leaning against the frame of the door. I swallowed thickly again, I couldn't tell her the real reason. 'I wanted it to end, what else I'd be running for the rest of my life,' I said firmly.

One of her eyebrows shot up, making me feel uncomfortable. 'Something tells me that you don't mind running,' she said, crooking that emotionless smile. 'Something tells me you're here for your friends.'

My heart skipped a beat, and I clenched my fists even tighter. 'What?' I asked, breathless. 'I may not be a Candor, Tobias. I however am Erudite, I am smart. You are lying to me,' she stated and pierced her light blue eyes into my darker blue ones. 'You are here to save your friends, to see if you can outsmart me. Trust me, you can't,' she said, standing close to me.

I was taller than she was, more muscular than she was, I could easily kill her should I want to... But she actually intimidated me, and I didn't like it.

'I've done it once, why couldn't I do it again,' I hissed as we were almost touching, our noses only inches apart. She looked up, stretching her neck, and I looked down... At the woman who was in charge of my future right now- keeping Iris alive.

'Because I only ask one thing from you,' she said, prying her eyes away from mine to point at the door of her office. 'One thing you have to do in order to take home your friends.'

My breath quickened and my heart beat started racing. I would do EVERYTHING! 'What is it?' I demanded. She smiled again. 'You have to kill the person who's sitting in my office right now.'

What? I'd never killed a person. It was one of my fear to kill an innocent, how would I know that I was doing the right thing? I probably wouldn't be, as she wanted this person dead, it must've had something to do with her not being able to do something?

I fiddled my fingers, 'how could you ask that from me?' She shook her head thoughtlessly. 'You are Dauntless now, Tobias. It's quite normal for me to ask a Dauntless soldier such things,' she said. This woman was crazy, she was more dangerous than Damon, Amar and I ever expected.

But if this was the only way to get my Iris and baby back... And Jenna and Tim of course, maybe I had to do it? Because what if my friends wouldn't succeed in finding them, or would get locked up themselves?

It all came down to me.

I sighed, 'before I say yes, can you promise and prove to me that my friends are still alive and unharmed?' She nodded, causing my heart beat to slow down and release my hands from the clenched fists.

'I'll take you to see them this afternoon, that would be a drive to do as I asked, right?' She suggested. I felt nauseous as I nodded, did I have any other choice?

A smile formed on her lips once again, but yet this time she showed emotion: satisfaction. My stomach turned, seeing that in her eyes, so I turned away quickly.

'Well, let's go into my office, shall we?' She said, and opened the door for me. I was reluctant, because I didn't want to face the person that was sitting in there. I really didn't...

I walked in, my eyes facing the floor when I heard a voice that sent immediate chills down my spine. 'Tobias, you're here,' it said.

My head jerked up, and it was true, I was right. Grey hair, grey clothes, sallow yet firm face...

I turned around to Jeanine, who was still smiling. 'I brought you your son, Marcus. Why don't you say hi, Tobias?' My stomach turned once again, and I had to try my best to keep the contents from coming out.

She wanted me to kill my father...
