I wake up to Riley shaking me.
" Come on babe, we gotta go I'm hungry " He whines. I keep my eyes close and pretend to still be asleep.
" Fine, this will wake you up " He says. He presses his lips to mine and I can't help myself when I kiss him back.
" I knew it " He says.
" Shut up Ri " I say getting up off my comfy bed. I go to the bathroom to brush my hair, then put it in a fishtail. When I get back I see mostly everyone is still sleeping, from being up late last night. I walk over to the foot of my bed and open the chest of clothes.
Both Riley and I walk down to the dining hall hand in hand, we get there and I see all the intiate tables that are usually filled are totally empty except for ours. I see Melissa and Mason sitting down just staring down at their food. I walk over to the buffet style place where you get your food and pick up a biscuit and some bacon. Back at the table Riley sits down next to Mason and I sit across from them.
" Are you guys as tired as us ? " Mason asks
" I'm actually not that tired, I could go back to sleep, but I don't feel tired " I say shrugging, taking a bite of bacon. Everyone nods and Jacob and Daniel sit down.
" There is a party tomorrow my apartment " Jacob says. Daniel punches his arm.
" It's my house to jackass " He says
" Yeah, yeah, yeah little brother " Jacob says back.
" Talia ! " I hear my name being called from behind. I turn around and see Jace waving his arm, I smile and get up, walking over to their table.
I sit down next to dad. " Yes Jace ? " I ask. He high fives me and I give him a questioning look.
" You won capture the flag for your team, good job ! " He says. I shrug.
" All I did was keep the flag on me " I say
" Yeah, but you won! " He says. I nod.
" You okay? " Mom asks.
" Mmh, tired " I say
Everyone nods knowingly at me and I go back to sit next to Melissa. We continue to talk about our fear landscapes being tomorrow and who is not going to make it through initiation and who won't. Once breakfast is over dad tells us to report to the fear simulation room. I get up and dump my tray, me and Riley make our way back to the correct hallways, every once in a while mumbling hi to people that we bump in to.
Once we finally get to the room everyone sits down in different chair and we wait for our names to be called. Dad comes out,
" Avery, Talia your next " he says, I'm not usually behind Avery, I wonder why the order has changed. Avery gets up and walks through the door into the actual room. Fifteen minutes later Avery comes out wide eyed, mom is behind her this time, she gives me and nod and flicks her head towards the room. I get up and walk into the room. Inside dad sits there with a needle in his hand. I sit down in the chair and he comes over. He looks down at me with his dark blue eyes, the same as mine. He moves my hair out of the way and takes the other side of my face in his left palm, he sticks the needle in and pushes down the plunger. He takes a step back.
" Love you, be brave " He says, right before I am taken into darkness.
I wake up and I see that I am in the dining hall, sitting next to mom, dad, and Jace, just like this morning. Dad starts laughing and whispers something in mom's ear she starts laughing as well. Jace gets a weird face then mom leans into him and whispers something into his ear, he starts laughing as well.
" What? What is so funny " I say. They both continue to laugh at whatever is so funny. Suddenly all three of them stop laughing, mom whispers something to dad and he nods seriously. I put my left eyebrow up.
" You aren't allowed to know " Dad says
" Why not? " I ask. He shakes his head and gets up, leaving me with mom and Jace.
" What were you guys talking about? " I ask frustrated
" Nothing, why would we need to tell you! " Jace says. I shrink back.
" Wh-what do you mean, I''m your sister, we tell each other everything " I say, I start crying.
" You are not my sister! I am an only child, plus it would suck if you were my sister. Are you even Dauntless " He shouts. I start sobbing and he gets up like dad did.
" Mom? What's going on? " I say. She gets this look of disgust on her face.
" I am not your mother! You are not my child, I would kill myself before I ever loved you " With that she gets up as well and I'm just sitting there crying, then I realize, this isn't real, it feels real, but it isn't.
When I wake up I am back in the fear landscape room. Mom and dad both have red eyes, I realize that I'm still sobbing. Dad takes me into his arms and carries me over to the wall, I fall into his lap and he just hugs me there. Mom comes over and we all continue to cry and hug each other.
" I would never hate you, I love you so much " Mom says. I nod and dad pulls me closer.
" Come on guys, you need to finish, I'm okay " I say pulling away, they both nod. Dad puts me back on the floor and opens the door.
" Hayes " He says. I know I'm still crying, but I don't care.
" Talia, what happened? " Riley asks standing up, I shake my head and run out the door. I know I shouldn't be this shaken up, and I don't know why I am, but I think I know a way to better myself. I run down a series of hallways until I get to the housing wing. I know on the room C7, the door opens and I fall down hugging him.
" Whoa, hi to you to Talia " Jace says. He pulls back and sees me crying, he gets a sad face and puts my in his lap.
" Tal, what's wrong " He says
" Fear simulations " I say, he nods and hold me. About 30 mintues later, we have moved to the couch and we are watching a movie, someone knocks on the door. I get up and tell Jace that I'll get it. I open the door and see Riley. His face softens and he pulls me into him.
" Oh my god, I was so worried " He says
" Sorry " I say into his shirt. I pull back and he kisses my forehead.
" Jace, I'm going to go with Riley, I'll see you later " I yell. I hear a ' Okay ' and I take Riley's hand pulling him out of the apartment. He puts his hand around my waist and we start walking towards the dorms.
" So, did you already have yours? " I ask, looking up at him.
" Yeah, I went in after Hayes, your parents seemed to be shaken up " He says, I nod looking down the hallway. We both walk in and I sit down on my bed, he joins me. He kisses my jaw and then my collarbone.
" Riley, I want to get a tattoo " I say, I realize that a lot of my friends have tattoos, I know that Riley has one.
" Why? " He asks
" Because I don't have one, even you have one " I say. He nods. He has a snake around his ear, just like uncle Uriah. He also has a something written next to his heart, I don't know what it says.
" What does the one by your heart say? " I ask. He pulls away and slips off his shirts, I see some letters in cursive. I look closer and see what it says.
" T, forever ? " I mumble. He nods slipping his shirt on again.
" Talia, forever " He says. I smile up at him.
" Then lets go " He says.
