ReaderGirl2000, but you don't know where I live though? Yeah! Right, I wouldn't do that... Maybe? Naaah, just messing with you. I would rather die than kill Fourtris's future. However, I'm not saying that it'll be happy... dun dun dah.

Argh, just realised that Tobias signed up for leader then Will signed up for training...! Eh, this leader thing will be good, haha! :D

I relinquish all claims to the song 'Perfect' by Pink.

Shauna is 7 weeks along. We skipped two days.

Tobias's POV:

"Why am I even here?" Tris whines as we walk through the familiar halls of Candor.

"You have to unlock the Sphere," I say as if it's obvious.

"Yeah, I know that. But why did it have to be my poor excuse of a brother and Natalie? Should have just been some cousins of mine," she groans as Callie leads us to a secluded cell. A musical voice wafts to us.

"Made a wrong turn, once or twice. Dug my way out of blood and fire! Bad decisions? That's alright. Welcome to my silly life."

"Once or twice? Bad decisions? Okay," Tris scoffs. Natalie spins from staring at the wall and her face lights up just a tiny bit.

"Beatrice."

"Tris."

"Tris. What brings you to my humble abode?" Tris shrugs and waits for Callie to unlock the cell door. Tris strides in and I follow, eyes on her swinging hips. I hear Natalie giggle and I raise an eyebrow.

"Don't think I didn't see that, mister." I blush and look away from Tris's curious gaze.

"Anyways, I'm here to talk about the Sphere."

"Ah, and you're coming to me because?" Tris does not respond, she pulls out the crystal ball from her black bag and places her mother's hand on it.

"Divergent. Natalie Prior. Age 41."

"What the?" Natalie screams, pulling her hand back but the scream was staged.

"Lose the act. You knew you were one of the keys. It was only a matter of time before I found out. See you soon." Natalie's face falls, Tris walks out and Callie locks the cell as I back out. Tris strolls to her brother a few paces down and I can immediately feel the tension.

Tris's POV:

The sight of my brother is a mental aberration. Literally. He is dishevelled, looking as if he has been in a fight more than once. His eyes have purple and blue rings encircling them, his cheeks are swollen and his lip has dried blood coating it, almost fully concealing the long cut running on the bottom lip. His clothes are shredded as if a rabid dog had been set on him. His cheeks are hollow and his hair is no longer the gelled style he used to put it in. In fact, it has grown out and is falling into his eyes as well as landing on the nape of his neck.

"Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in," Nikolai slurs slightly before clearing his throat. Of course, there has been a recent brawl. I do a side-glance at Tobias and he steps out to ask Callie why he is like this.

"Nikolai. Long time, no see."

"Why are you here?" he hisses. I chuckle and plop myself opposite him.

"You're the fourth person," I state. He raises an eyebrow and I grab his shackled hand, using my other hand to bring out the Sphere and connect the two.

"Divergent. Nikolai Prior. Age 21. The Sphere has been unlocked. All four keys should unlock even further by doing it simultaneously."

"What the f*ck?" Nikolai yells. I smirk.

"You, my friend, are the fourth key to finding out the secrets of what's beyond that fence."

"You're joking? This is the actual Sphere. I thought it was a myth?"

"Yeah, okay," I laugh. He scowls and sighs deeply while I tuck away the Sphere.

"Who's the other two?"

"Natalie. Sarah."

"Sarah?"

"Don't remember her? She is our half-sister. She was with me in Dauntless for like a month. Thought you knew about her. She knew about you."

"Wow, okay." His eyebrows jump and his face is sullen for a second.

"So, why are you...?" I raise a hand and wave it around him. He scoffs and points at the guard stood behind Callie.

"He did this?"

"Former Dauntless. The choosing ceremony after mine, he transferred here. We used to hate each other during the year I was in Dauntless. He is not pleased he has to watch over me. Chose to take out that anger on me instead of a punching bag... More than once." I laugh and shake my head.

"You seem to always get on people's bad side."

"I know," he whispers. I sit quietly, tracing the tiled floor with both my eyes and hand while he breathes loudly.

"I am sorry," he murmurs after a few silent moments. I snap my head up and gaze into his green eyes that have emotions swimming through them.

"Why?" He knows what I mean.

"I never got the courage to run to our house and stop Dad. I slept at the Eatons, with full knowledge you were being abused for no reason whatsoever. I let you grow up hating me with a passion, so I decided to 'hate' you back so I did not have to encounter the pain of losing my younger sister who told me great things every time I was home. You never showed your pain, even though we knew. You kept on loving me until the day I shattered that love and the trust you had for me. You know, my 'hate' facade never really worked, more like failed. I would always walk past you in the compound, yearning to reach out and hug you. Apologise a million times, anything to wipe the pain, sorrow and hatred you had. Until he came along with the other three. I could see an instant change. All you needed was someone to love you, despite your flaws. You grew up thinking you were unlovable. He is a good guy. You are one of the most favoured person in the whole of Dauntless. No one expected a female to reign the compound like you do. I hear males talking about you everywhere I step. Ladies are jealous of how you are so small but tough. Girls are saying you are their role model. Only your group and family know you. You have proved to us that no matter your background, you can create your own future. I remember a little girl once told me before mum left, 'you're perfect. The way you are. If you grow up to be mean and reckless, okay. Just remember that there is always a kind person. In there.'." He points to his heart and tears spring to my eyes. I remember the day so vividly.

"I got beaten the f*ck up the night before. I wanted to tell you that I would love you still. I knew that somehow you would turn out to be a ruthless brother. I still love you... Actually, I guess I do somewhere. But it'll take time for my entire being to forgive and love you," I mumble. He nods and I stand up, bending down to kiss him on the forehead lightly and walk out, looking back to see a tear splash onto the tiled floor from his bowed head.

"Make sure he's getting food. Moreover, replace that guard, he is too abusive. In fact, make sure both of them are being fed properly, let them use a shower every other day. I don't want them dying on me any time soon," I tell Callie, who speaks into a radio as we walk down the corridor to the cafeteria.

When I walk past Natalie, she is gripping the bars and one of her hands slips through a gap but she pulls it back and crawls back to her cuffed position. I sigh and rub my face, leaning into Tobias's side while he wraps an arm around my shoulders.

"This is why I love you."

"Why?"

"Even though they've done you wrong, you still find it in your heart to be rational towards them."

"Isn't that a bad thing though?"

"Sometimes." I nod and smile into his chest before facing forwards and we enter the cafeteria.

Tobias's POV:

My phone rings and I stop before the doors with a confused emotion. Tris raises an eyebrow and I shrug my shoulders. I answer the call without looking at the ID, knowing this is probably an emergency, since I ordered everyone to not call me.

"Four Eaton." I speak monotonously.

"Andrew escaped," Zeke deadpans. My jaw goes slack and Tris shakes me, wanting to know what has been said. She snatches the phone out of my hand and demands Zeke to repeat what he told me.

"Are you f*cking with me right now? What the actual hell? How did he escape? How could you let this happen?" Tris screeches into the phone, setting it onto speakerphone.

"The guard went in to give him his food and when he was giving him the toilet break, releasing him momentarily, Andrew knocked him out, handcuffing the gaurd and locked the cell. I've checked the cameras here and it's as if Andrew knew all the blind spots or he's hiding out somewhere in the compound. This happened like an hour ago." Callie's eyes widens and she immediately texts all the leaders about the news, except Erudite, because they would use this to their advantage. Wait, Erudite.

"He must have gone to Erudite."

"Why would? No, that's a good point," Tris muses.

"Okay, Zeke. Take the boys with you, Hector also and two or three from the recent batch of members."

"Why Hector?" Tris asks in unison with Lynn.

"He's small, meaning he'll be as fast as you guys. He has experience with a gun and he's more observant than you older ones. He will spot something you wouldn't."

"Fine," Lynn grumbles. Hector cheers in the background and I faintly hear Uriah welcoming him to the 'army'. Like what? I roll my eyes along with Tris and Callie scoffs.

"Warning. Warning. Warning. The perimeter has been breached!" Our eyes widen and Zeke is shouting down the phone. We cut it off after telling the gang not to worry and turn to the front entrance in time to see Andrew firing a gun. We all duck and Callie screams. People run from their rooms to the cafeteria as it is their safe point and I catch sight of Andrew running towards the cells. Tris sees this too and shoots off. I huff and sprint after her. Another gunshot is heard and Tris growls, pushing herself further away from me. A masculine cry drifts to us after the third gunshot.

"Nikolai!" Natalie screams while her head pops out between the bars as we pass her. Andrew has obviously shot off the lock, and is towering over Nikolai who is clutching his thigh.

"Move any closer and I will kill him. Then you won't get information from your precious Sphere," Andrew sneers at Tris.

"What?" Tris hisses.

"You heard me," Andrew responds cockily. Tris grunts and whips out the knife from the small of her back, launching it at his left hand, knocking out the gun and piercing his hand simultaneously. He yells in surprise and pain, collapsing to the ground, and searches for the gun. Tris kicks it further away and yanks the knife out. Andrew howls in anger and glares at her.

"That's for underestimating and double-crossing me. Take them both to the infirmary," Tris orders the guards who gathered around behind me in the doorway. They scramble quickly and Nikolai grits his teeth as they carry him out. Andrew is pulled up and he attacks at anyone who touches him despite his bleeding wound, earning a slap to the face.

"Get yourself in check, otherwise I'll tell them to dump you outside," Tris snarls and Andrew reluctantly slumps into the arms of the petrified guards.

"God," Tris whispers, walking out of the cell and I'm in tow. I keep quiet, letting her have alone time but hold her hand and she squeezes it gratefully.

"I love you. Thank you for sticking by me," Tris mumbles as we stand outside the temporary apartment.

"I love you too. I will never will not. As long as you don't leave me first." I sigh into her hair. She chuckles, mumbling how she will not; she would be stupid if she did.

"Don't leave me either though."

"I won't." I shake my head.

"Stay with me?"

"Always." I smile into her hair and lift up her chin, placing a soft kiss on her plump lips, wiping off the salt from her lone tear.

My god, people. I apologise for the wait! I would have posted yesterday but I wasn't finished, oops. I just were not motivated and there is much love to PMakepeace98 for giving me an idea for future chapters but the length of this one does not help, gawd. Till later, BooksLover2000... If you are reading, say 'love you too' :). Hopefully people would do that. If I killed off Uriah, what would you guys do? Hehee...
