Chapter 6

"You, you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."

-"Imagine" by John Lenon

Tris POV

I open my mouth, but no words come out. I don't know what to say. I immediately turn invisible again. I look over at Will, but he's halfway out the door. He gives me a thumbs up, and leaves the room. It seems like he doesn't want to see what happens next. So much for encouragement.

Tobias looks over in my direction confused, as if he's trying to figure out whether he really saw me. I see him look over at the open door.

"Tris," he says, deciding that he did see me, "why did you turn invisible again? There's nobody here but me."

I look over at Tobias. I don't want to talk to Tobias about my fear, not now. I'm not sure I even want to be here right now. I need to leave. Tobias is waiting for a response.

I take a shaky breath. "I made a mistake in coming here," I say, "I'm going to leave now. I'll come back though. We have six months here on Earth."

As I make my way through the door I hear Tobias ask, "Why is it a mistake to come here?"

"I'm sorry," I say softly. "But I can't tell you." I float out the door. I hear Tobias call after me, but I don't want to come back there. How can I, when I feel like I'm making things worse for him by being with him?

I float over to Christina's room, where Will said he would be. I find him exiting the room.

"Did you say anything?" I whisper.

"No, did you?" he responds.

"Obliviously not. I didn't say anything while you were there, either. I'm…just not ready to say something yet. This is the kind of thing I would ask Christina about."

"Give it some time. I know I need time to talk to Christina."

"I already talked to her once, but I can't do it again without breaking the rules again. I don't want Al, Uriah, my parents, or anybody finding out that Tobias knows. I only told you because I thought I could trust you, Will. And I had no other choice."

"I understand." Will says gently. "How about we go and find Al and Uriah. That way you can relax and stop thinking about Four. It'll be good for you."

Will and I find Uriah over by Zeke's apartment. He looks a bit panicked. "Hey!" I call out to him.

"Hi!" Uriah says, a fake smile plastered onto his face.

"Were you visiting Zeke?" Will asks.

"Yeah," Uriah responds. "Al left and went to the chasm."

"I'll go find him," Will says. I'm pretty sure that he knows that Uriah is upset about something. Will only became Uriah's friend after he died, so I'm sure Will wasn't very comfortable here.

Uriah looks less panicked. He looks upset with himself. "What did you do?" I ask him.

Uriah doesn't say anything. "Spill it," I command. "I won't tell."

"Of course you won't" Uriah says. "You always get into trouble yourself."

"Come on, hurry," I urge him. "Tell me before Will, Al, or anybody else comes. There must be billions of souls across the globe at this point."

Uriah looks like he's deciding whether he should tell me what's bothering him. It's not like it can be that bad, anyway. I've probably done worse. I revealed myself to Tobias and Christina. Nothing Uriah can ever do can be worse than that. Unless…

My thoughts get interrupted by Uriah voice. "I was walking to my old house," Uriah starts shakily, "to see my family. I also wanted to see it in person again. I get six months on Earth, and it just felt right to go to my house first. Zeke was over there visiting my mom. I followed him to his apartment. I was thinking about what it would be like if he actually saw. I laughed at the thought, and he turned around. I don't know how, but he saw me. He looked at me and asked me if I was really there. At that point I panicked. I knew I had made a mistake. I just floated away as fast as I could. I thought I was invisible then. I didn't know that I could turn visible. I don't want to get in trouble. I didn't know what I did."

Immediately I feel bad for Uriah. I broke the rules in the same way, except he broke them on accident. Well, they're not really rules. There are just many people against revealing yourself to the living. Those people will do whatever it takes to stop someone from visiting Earth ever again. I stay silent for a long time. I don't really want to tell Uriah that I also broke the rules. Not quite yet, at least. It's too soon for me to tell another person. Will knowing is enough for right now.

Uriah looks ashamed. I finally decide on what to say. "Don't feel too bad Uriah. As long as nobody finds out, you won't be in trouble. Just don't do it again. If you keep it a secret, then nobody will find out. I won't tell anybody about it."

Pondering this for a moment, Uriah answers, "Okay. But what if Zeke does remember. What if he talks to Four about it. Then Four will know. He'll tell Christina, she'll tell Cara, Cara will tell Caleb, and who knows who Caleb will tell."

"It will turn out fine. Even if Zeke does tell Tobias, it'll be fine. Tobias won't tell anyone."

"How are you so sure?"

"He knows how to keep a secret. Knowing about spirits existing is a big secret."

Will comes over with Al. "Come on," Will says. "We're going to Millennium park."

Uriah and I lock eyes. Shrugging, we follow Al and Will to the park.

The next day, Uriah, Will, and I follow Zeke around. Uriah ended up being forced to tell Will about what happened. I trust Will, and decided that he could help Uriah, since he's been a great help to me.

Zeke leaves his apartment. He turns right, and knocks on the door of Tobias's apartment.

"Here it goes," Uriah mutters.

Will shoots me a concerned look. He knows that I don't want to go to Tobias's apartment yet. I look at him in a way that conveys that I'll be okay. I just need to stay invisible.

Zeke is talking to Tobias. "I swear I saw Uriah," he was saying. "He appeared last night. I called his name, and he looked up as me. At that pointed he looked extremely upset. Then, he just vanished. But I saw him. I know I did."

"I know how you feel," Tobias says.

"So you don't think I'm crazy?" Zeke asks, amazed.

"Nah," Tobias says casually. "I've seen Tris from time to time as well. It was like she was really here. Maybe Uriah's ghost wanted to show you something. I learned some from Tris's ghost."

Uriah turns and looks at me in shock. "You did what?" He tries to whisper but it turns out pretty loud. Both Zeke and Tobias turn and look in our direction.

"Did you hear something?" Zeke asked as Tobias nodded.

As they got up, I whispered, "Time to go." Will, Uriah, and I floated out of the room as quickly as we could. We knew that we had overstayed our welcome. We made our way to an empty apartment.

There, Uriah started to talk. "I can't believe you revealed yourself to Four!" he says, obviously bothered to the topic. "You didn't even bother to mention it to me, not even when I saw you two days ago. And I suppose Will knows."

Will just shrugged and looked away. "You revealed yourself to Zeke," I say.

"But that was an accident. What you did was on purpose. Didn't you realize how dangerous it was?"

"No, not really. It's not like Tobias will tell anyone. I trust him."

"What about Christina?" Will asks. I shoot him a withering look. "Was I not supposed to say that?" he wonders out loud.

Uriah opens his mouth, but I cut him off. "I convinced Christina that she was in a dream. I was a spirit that was visiting her."

"But what do we do about Four and Zeke?" Uriah asks. He still looked hurt that I hadn't trusted him enough to tell him earlier, but I was glad that he moved on.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, Uriah. I barely told Will. I was going to tell, but a bit later." Uriah nods as I apologize. He isn't happy with it, but he looks like he understands. "We have two choices. We either avoid Zeke and Tobias until they die, or continue to communicate with them. I'm not sure I favor the first option. I can't stay away from Tobias now. There's something I need to resolve first. I need to be fair to him."

"Then I guess it's settled," Uriah announces. "We communicate them, but we do it with secrecy. Nobody must know." He shoots a glance at Will. "If you want to join us in rule breaking, go ahead," Uriah tells Will, smiling.

"I will," Will responds.

"Then let the rule breaking begin," Uriah says, as he floats out of the room, Will and I hot on his trail.

Hey guys! Sorry for the short update.

My poll has finally closed. Divergent won first place, so I'll write another Divergent fanfiction. If you have any ideas, PM me or leave it in the reviews. I have no ideas at this point, so I guess I'll do a Divergent High School story unless other ideas come to me. Mortal Instruments got second, So I'll do a Mortal Instruments Divergent crossover. I'll post both stories along with the next update. I'll try to update once a month. I'll definitely update once every two months.

If you have any songs you want to see in this story, leave it in the reviews. Bye!
