I'm back with another chapter. One more chapter after this and this story will be done. Enjoy and I don't own Divergent.


Chapter 9

We walked into the apartment and I instantly headed for the bed. Even though the walk from the infirmary to the apartment was like 15 minutes, I was very tired. Tobias understood and let me go to bed, knowing that my sickness was the reason I was tired. I laid down on the bed and Tobias tucked me in.

"I'm not a child, Tobias," I said.

"I'm just making sure you're comfortable," answered Tobias.

I smirked then closed my eyes, sleep over taking me.


I woke up to someone shaking me. I looked up and saw Tobias staring at me. "What?"

"Our friends are here."

"Help me up." Tobias wrapped his arm around me and helped me to sit up on the bed. After making sure I was comfortable, Tobias left to get our friends. He came back a few minutes later and Christina, Marlene, Lynn, and Shauna sat on the bed with me while the guys stayed standing.

"How do you feel?" Marlene asked.

"Better; I took a nap before you guys arrived," I answered.

"We thought we would come here to tell you how Peter's execution went," said Christina.

"How did it go?" Tobias asked.

"Well…"

CHRISTINA'S POV

I walked into the Pit with Will, Marlene, and Zeke. Lynn and Shauna were working and Uriah was at the front with Max and Eric. Peter was tied to a chair and he actually looked kind of scared.

Good, that asshole deserves it, I thought as I stood with other members of Dauntless who came to watch Peter's execution.

Max then walked up and everyone got quiet as he addressed Peter. "Peter, you are charged with kidnapping, torture, and attempted murder and your sentence is death."

"I don't see why this is necessary," started Peter. "The stiff deserved what came to her. She doesn't even deserve to be in Dauntless because she probably slept with Four to get into Dauntless."

I wanted to punch Peter so badly right now but when Will wrapped his hand around mine, I relaxed.

"Do you have any last words?" Eric asked.

Peter looked through the crowd till his gaze landed on us and smirked. "Where's the stiff? Is she too scared to come out?"

I couldn't handle this. "She's in the hospital thanks to you, you ass!" I yelled at Peter.

"Call down, Chris," Will whispered in my ear but it didn't help any.

Peter smiled even bigger than looked away from us. "She's a coward."

"You want to talk about cowardness! Fine, Tris is not a coward; you are!"

"I'm not!"

"Yes you are! You went after a girl who was sick and kidnapped, tortured, and tried to kill her. Attacking someone when they are weak is not brave, it's cowardly. And if you think Tris shouldn't be in Dauntless, then why didn't you go after her when she wasn't sick. I know why, it's because you're scared of her. You and I both know that she's stronger than you and you're afraid to accept that. You are a coward, Peter; and Dauntless don't accept cowards." Many Dauntless hollered and cheered in approval after my speech and some even patted me on the back.

Peter didn't say anything after that and I smirked. Max, Eric, and Uriah grabbed a gun and pointed it at Peter. From what I heard, out of the three guns, only one of them is loaded. No one knows which gun it is until the guns are fired.

"Be brave, Peter," Uriah said and then all three of them pulled the trigger. A shot rang out and Peter slumped in the chair.

TRIS'S POV

"And that's what happened," concluded Christina.

I nodded. "Thanks for sticking up for me.

"Peter was pissing me off too so I had to put him in his place," said Christina.

"Peter's face after the speech was priceless," Marlene said, smiling.

"And I missed it!" Shauna exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air.

"It's all right; I missed it too," I said.

"Tris, Max says he wants to talk to you after you're better," said Uriah. "He wants to make sure that you don't want to be leader."

"Ok. Hopefully I'll talk to him sometime this week. I also have to talk to Tori, to tell her that I'll be working with her."

"You know what we should do?" Zeke asked. "Play truth or dare."

Everyone agreed and got in a circle.

"I'll start!" exclaimed Zeke. "Uriah, truth or dare?"

"Dare, I'm not a pansycake," declared Uriah.

"Stop trying to bring it back!" everyone yelled at him.

Uriah grumbled then looked at Zeke. "I dare you to give Tris a kiss." Uriah looked at me then at Tobias. "I rather not." Uriah took off his shirt and then turned to Will. "Will, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"What do you think of Christina?"

Will turned to Christina and smiled. "She is beautiful, strong, brave, and I like the Candor side of her."

"You like how I say what comes to my mind?" Christina asked.

"Yeah because I know that you'll always tell me the truth."

Christina kissed him then placed her head on his shoulder. Will wrapped an arm around Christina and held her close. "Marlene, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to play seven minutes in heaven with Uriah."

"Done." Marlene took Uriah into another room and closed the door. We heard moaning coming from the room seconds later. When time was almost up, Zeke got up and walked over to the door. He then jerked the door opened and started yelling. We then heard screaming coming from the room and started laughing. Zeke came back into the room laughing with a pissed off Uriah and a blushing Marlene behind him.

"What the hell, Zeke?!" screamed Uriah.

"You should have seen your faces," Zeke said then started to laugh again. Uriah tackled Zeke to the ground and they started to wrestle each other.

"Anyway, Lynn, truth or dare?" Marlene asked.

"Dare."

"I dare you to break those two up." Marlene gestured to the still wrestling Zeke and Uriah.

Lynn nodded then walked up to the two, after grabbing a pillow. She hit Zeke with it first then Uriah.

"Ow!" Zeke exclaimed, rubbing his head.

"Jeez, Lynn, how do you make a pillow hurt?" Uriah asked.

Lynn only smiled then sat back down. "Shauna, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to go up to Max and confess your love to him."

Shauna took off her shirt. "You know that he's married."

"I know, but that was payback from last time."

"Max is married?" Will asked.

"Yeah, and I think his wife is pregnant, too," said Marlene.

"Tris, truth or dare?" Shauna asked.

"I'll go with dare."

"I dare you to sit on Four's lap for the rest of the game."

"Ok." I got up from my spot and sat on Tobias's lap. Tobias wrapped his arms around me and I leaned into him. "Christina, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"What's the most embarrassing thing you have ever done?"

Christina blushed before answering, "There was this kid in my faction that I didn't like so I told him that. The next day, I got in trouble and I realized that the kid was a leader's son."

"And that's why Candors are called jerks," said Zeke.

"Hey!"

We all snickered.

"Four, truth or dare?" Christina asked.

"Truth."

"Did you transfer factions?"

"Yes."

"Which faction?"

"Only one question, Christina." Tobias looked down at me. "Tris, truth or dare?"

I looked up at him. "Dare."

"I dare you to kiss me."

I smiled and then kissed him on the lips.

"Hey, no PDA," said Uriah.

I flipped him off and Tobias chuckled against my lips. We pulled away and I turned to Uriah. "Truth or dare, Uriah?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to let Marlene paint your nails whatever color she wants and you can't take it off for a week."

Uriah widen his eyes then mumbled, "Fine."

Marlene smiled then walked out of the apartment. She came back minutes later with a hot pink nail color. As Marlene was painting Uriah's nails, I leaned my head against Tobias's chest and closed my eyes. I heard Uriah say how he likes the color and I could picture everyone staring at him, thinking he was weird. The game went on but I didn't pay attention as I felt myself slowly falling asleep.

FOUR'S POV

"Zeke, truth or dare?" asked Lynn.

"Dare."

"I dare you to drink whatever I make for you."

"Sure."

Lynn got up and went into the kitchen. She came back carrying a glass of greenish red liquid. Lynn gave it to Zeke and Zeke hesitated to drink it but he did anyway. He shot up and ran to the bathroom; we heard him throwing up seconds later. Zeke came back and looked at Lynn. "What the hell did you put in that drink?!"

"Hot sauce and pickle juice."

"I can't believe I just drank that!" Zeke turned to me. "Tris, truth…" He suddenly stopped and smiled. I looked down and saw Tris asleep in my arms.

"She has the tendency to fall asleep a lot, doesn't she?" asked Will.

"She's sick, what do you expect?" asked Marlene.

"We'll see you later, Four," Zeke said and then left with the others.

I picked up Tris and carried her to the bed. I pulled the covers over her, kissed her head, and left her alone to sleep.


Yes, I added another truth or dare. I thought the story deserved some humor since the past few chapters were filled with drama.

For the story ideas, I've gotten 4 people who want the first one and 7 people who want the second one. I will keep taking votes up until Monday and I will let you know what story I will write next. Later and please review :)
