Oh yay someone reviewed! Because I couldn't message you privately, I'm putting my response here lol. I feel the exact same way about Eric xD I just feel like if Eric had gotten a girl in the books or whatever, he would have turned into a really nice guy, and probably wouldn't have started a war. xD That's why I started writing this. And I like when a character is mysterious, I normally would have told you her past earlier, but I have a very wonderfully dramatic scene for that. xD BE PREPARED. -Admin (aka Amber)
I made my way to the Candor building, just in time to see the group leaving to speak with Max on the bridge, I watch from a distance as Max demands that Eric be handed over. So, the Candor have Eric in custody. Great. I turn and run back to the Candor building, sneaking my way past guards, and camera's, and into the holding cells. I knock out the people watching the cells, and locate Eric's. He doesn't look upset about being locked up. They must have given him some of Amity's happy serum, since you can tell he's destroyed everything in his room. I open the door, and he starts to laugh, but not in the weird bubbly way people do when on the serum. Maybe I was wrong.
"YOU are here to rescue me? Of all the people they could have sent-" I cut him off. "Nobody sent me, Eric. Now get up." I know it would be safer for us if he had a weapon, but I dont trust that he wont kill anyone we meet if I give him one, so I opt to have one ready for him if needed. We make our way out of the Candor building, and through passage ways, and finally to the fence. "Where are we going?" he finally asks. "Outside the fence. I have a safe place-" "You've been out there?! Isn't it dangerous?!" I roll my eyes and find the secret hole I dug for getting in and out when I was younger. "Are you coming or not?" I asked as a slip through it. He considers a moment, and finally he sighs and works his way through the gap.
He remains silent as we make our way to a little house away from everything. Its mostly rubble by now, but it makes for a safe house. I move a rug, and reveal a trap door, open it, and hop down, turning on a light just as Eric's feet hit the floor. "What is this place?" he asked, looking around at all the screens, cords, and other things that I have set up. "security. I have camera's everywhere. Abnegation, Dauntless, Candor.. other places." I gesture to screen after screen. "What's that?" he point to one screen, and I turn it off. "It doesn't matter." I say, looking away. I've been meaning to disconnect that camera for a while, but I guess preparing for choosing day kind of distracted me.
"So how did you find this place?" he asked. "Just because I was factionless, doesn't mean I spent my life with them." I say vaguely, opening a hidden door to my left. "Bedroom is in here. I dont sleep much so you can have it." I say. "There's another door in there thats the bathroom, shower and tub and everything works." He nods. "Faith?" he asks. "why did you save me?" "I haven't figured that out yet." I explain. "So, how's your shoulder?" I ask, pointing to the bandage that covers where Tris stabbed him. "Its fine, just a little sore." he says. "I'm gonna go lie down." he walks into the bedroom and I hear the bed creak as he gets on it. I sit down at the chair in front of all my screens and watch as Tris and Four try to resolve the oncoming war.
I turn to the screen that shows Evelyn, the new ruler of Candor and Dauntless, and the thought to be dead mother of Four. I watch her for a few hours, trying to figure out her edge, when she reaches into her blouse and pulls out a necklace, gently rubbing it with her thumb, before finally looking down at it in her hand. I choke on the coffee I was drinking as I get a good look at the necklace, and reach into my coat pocket, pulling out the box I picked up from my room earlier, opening it to reveal an identical necklace. The necklace was given to me by my mother, who had a matching one. I stare at the screen for a minute, unable to comprehend this, before whispering "M... Mom...?"
Boom! Drama starting! Are you excited for the next chapter yet? You should be. Its probably the most dramatic, as we get into Allegiant. Also, if I used 'Tobias' instead of 'Four in any chapters, Faith doesn't know his real name yet, so I'm sorry for the confusion. -Admin (aka Amber)
