Chapter 3: You've got some things to explain

Tris's POV

Aside from passing out earlier, Four has done a really good job with the kids. Hopefully, he won't scare away this sponsor.

*Time Skip*

The kids are finally asleep. Now, I can ask this "Four" person who he really is. I mean what type of name is that. I think it is a nickname, I also think he can tell me more about my erased past.

I find him in the kitchen talking to someone.

"…I know you have to come see her for yourself…yes, just bring everybody. Listen I know this is a longshot, but perhaps Uriah is out there too...I know it is a possibility and could you have Natalie stay with Eleanor. I-I just don't want to cause a big commotion out of nothing."

There was a long pause till he finally hung up. Who does he think he is, to just invite people, when you are a guest yourself?

"Tris, I know you are there. Can we just talk? I think we both have explaining to do?"

Damn right we do. "Fine, but I have nothing to explain to you."

Four's POV

I am in so deep right now. What if she asks about Natalie? I can't, have her disown Natalie in front of my face, I guess it is better than hearing it from someone else.

"Um, where do I start?"

"No, I ask the questions, not you."

Wow, the Tris I knew was never this feisty.

"What, you knew me…before, but that doesn't make any sense?"

What does she mean by 'before'?

"Never mind I'll come back to that later. Who do you plan on inviting to my house?"

"Just a few of my friends?"

"You do realize you are the guest right, and I will gladly kick you out if plan on making my home a party place. I have children that will not be introduced to that type of home-style."

So, she does care about kids. But, apparently not Natalie.

"Okay, who is this Natalie why do you keep comparing her to my kids as if I did something to her? How do you know Uriah and who were you talking to on the phone?"

"Um, Natalie is my daughter, she doesn't have a mother. So I naturally get mad when kids with mothers are protective of their own when my daughter, can't have one. Uriah is an old friend of mine who disappeared in his teens. I was talking to Zeke his older brother."

I must not let her know that Natalie is her daughter, until I feel it is right. When is it ever? It would break my partnership and friendship with Throne.

"What do you know about my past?"

That is a very weird question, doesn't she remember?
"You don't remember your past, nothing…at all?"

For some reason I burst out laughing, I know it is wrong to laugh at that. But it isn't a genuine laugh, more of sadistic. I know I messed up because Tris is fuming with fire.

"If you must know. No, I don't remember my childhood, my teenage life. Anything younger than 17. Do you know how it feels to not remember my parents, siblings, if I had any? Waking up with only memory of my name, who I was, what I was, what I am? If you find that funny than you get the hell out of my home. Because finally, finally I find someone who knows something about my past. And, they laugh in my face."

Once, she finishes her ramble she turns to leave the kitchen. "Remember, that just because I love my husband am I letting you stay."

Then, she just walks off, like that. I wake up to realization, my Tris is gone. Now, I have to fight for her, now that I know she doesn't remember. I still have a chance, but now she hates me. If only I could show her who I am, what we had.

Isn't it too late for that I mean she just said that she would do anything for Thorne? She loves him. I guess I just have to accept that she isn't mine anymore.

With on my mind I go to sleep dreaming about Tris breaking up with me, and saying how she hates Natalie.

*Time Skip*

We are watching Calix play Tee-ball. His team is winning so far, when I get a text from Zeke.

(Zeke, Four)

Where r u? We have been waiting for FIVE minutes!

Calm ur cake, we are at a tee-ball game.

Where is it at?

I tell him the directions to get here from there. I don't want to make a scene so I decide to meet them at the gate.

"So, where is she?"

"Really, no how have I been, Natalie is doing great, oh, it sure is nice to see you? Wow, good to see you too. And, there is a problem Tris's memory got erased, she got mad when I made a rude comment, and hates my guts."

I let them take it in for a minute. Chris and I really bonded over the past few years. So, I go to comfort her leaving the others to do as they please. She really has become a motherly figure to Natalie. I hope she doesn't tell Natalie that her real mother is alive.

"Oh guys, could not tell Natalie about Tris, it would crush her?"

If any of this gets to either them hell is going to pay.

I take Zeke over to the side.

"Zeke, she mentioned something about how I know Uriah."

"So, you are saying that she knows him? So, he is alive!"

He exclaims loudly, then a female voice I know too well interrupts.

"Like the back of my hand. If you must know, you can laugh at this too, he was with me in that field with no memory except for his name, what he was, what he is. I still don't know how you know him and how you know me. Also, Zeke don't bother me or Uriah."

She can still leave people speechless even if she doesn't remember, anything.

A/N That is all for now. I left you with a cliffhanger, even though you met your goal, but I want to know what you think of this prompt:

The people outside of the fence wanted to get rid of the memory serum but the people they asked to get rid of it were traitors and believed the faction world would be better if everyone had a clean slate and so the traitors put the memory serum into the city's water supply, only true divergents can regain memory.
