Sorry about how the other chapter got messed up. I'm not sure what that keeps happening, but I think I fixed it. I hope I know how to fix it for the rest of these chapters.
Gwyneth POV
When our flight to Chicago landed, Aunt Chris took us to the train station. She told me and Mel that the trains didn't used to stop. I thought that was kind of terrifying, but apparently she and mom used to love it. Our train stopped at the Dauntless station, and we, as well as a couple of other people all dressed in black, got off. There was a huge hole in the floor, and I couldn't help but peek down.
"When the new initiates come, they have to enter t
"Aunt Tris jumped through that hole?" Mel asked, sounding extremely unbelieving. Mom is very brave, but she's not exactly a daredevil. She always talks about how she'll never go skydiving, so learning about this just seems unbelievable.
"Yes. Your mom was quite a daredevil back then. I'll have to take you girls zip lining from the Hancock building."
This trip was sending really amazing. I'm so happy Aunt Chris could take us here and show us a bit of our past.

Mel started laughing as soon as she heard the ringtone. We really love Leverage. Anyway, my mom's name flashed across the screen, and I started to get a little scared. What if she finds out where we are? I mean, Aunt Chris left her a note in case she got back early, but she isn't supposed to find out where we are.
"Hey mom," I tried to make my voice sound normal, but I think I failed.
"Hi darling. Is something wrong? You sound nervous."
"No nothing. What are you doing?"
"I'm in our apartment reading Aunt Chris's note. What about you, darling?" I must have let out a help because my mom started laughing.
"It's so nice that training initiates paid off. What's the point of it if you can't scare your daughter? But don't worry, honey, I'm not mad. In fact, I'm getting on the next flight to Chicago because I think that I should be the one to give you that tour of Dauntless."
"Yes! Thanks mom I'm so excited!"
"Haha I am too. I've got to go book a flight though. See you in a couple of hours. Love you."
"Love you too."
"How'd things go?" Aunt Chris asked once I ended the phone call.
"She's on her next flight out here. She decided that she wants to be the one to introduce me to Dauntless."
"Yay! I'm sure all of our friends would love to see your mom again. Why don't we go to the room and get some rest? Your mom will probably be here by dinner, and then we can go give you guys a tour of the compound."
"Ok mom. Please tell me there's a way to get down without jumping," Mel said.
"Yes, dolls, don't worry there are stairs."
We walked down the stairs and went towards where Aunt Chris said all the apartments are. Once we arrived at 4B, Aunt Chris knocked on the door, and Uncle Uriah answered.
"Chrissy! And the girls! It's been five years since I've seen you come and give me a hug."
"Hey, Uriah. It's nice to see you too. Where are Mar and Caleb?"
"They're at the store picking up some food. But you girls get in here! I've got the guest bedrooms all set up."
We walked into the apartment and I had to say that it was really nice. The kitchen and dining room were huge. And they had four bedrooms. Mel and I would share as well as Chris and mom. Both rooms had two beds though.
"You girls go get settled in. Mar and Caleb probably won't be back for a little while."
Mel and I walked into the bedroom and picked our beds. I instantly turned on the TV, hoping they have Netflix. I, of course, put on Leverage and climbed under the blanket. Mel climbed into bed with me and we just hung out there for a while.
A few hours later, I heard the apartment door opening.
"I'm back," A female's voice called, "and look who I brought with me!"
"Trissy! I've missed you." Uncle Uriah replied.
"I missed you too. You promised to come visit again, but it's been five years! I haven't seen you guys since Caleb was nine. It's hard to believe that he and Gwen are the same age."
"Mom!" I ran out and gave my mom a hug. It's been two weeks since I've seen her because she was away for business, and I honestly missed her a lot.
"Hey, honey, I've missed you. I'm gone for two weeks and sneak off to a city half way across the country."
"Mom! I thought you said we were ok."
"We are, darling, but that's because Aunt Chris explained everything to me. Don't get me wrong, if you did this, you'd be dead." Mom smiled innocently then and announced that she was going to go unpack.
A little while later, it was time for our tour. I had hung out with Uriah, Marlene, and Caleb while mom was unpacking. I have to say that Caleb is absolutely gorgeous and really funny. It's a shame we won't have very much time got a call, and told us that he needed to head to the initiate training room. We decided to just come with him because mom wanted to show us where she used to work.
"I'm here now. No need to worry," Uriah called as he walked into the room.
A pretty girl with red hair, who looked to be about 29 or 30, answered him, "Thank goodness. I'm at my wits end here. Oh my gosh is that Tris? I missed you so much!"
"Cici! It's so great to see you too!"
"We've missed you a lot around the training room. But you remember that my name is Sierra right?"
"Of course I remember," mom rolled her eyes, "but we used to always call you-"
"Oh! You guys used to call me Candy Cane because of my red hair, and you shortened it to Cici."
"So what's the problem Sia?" Uriah asked her.
"Well… um… maybe not in front of…" She stuttered.
"It's about you know who?"
"Yes. And he's on his way here."
I wonder who they were talking about, and why they couldn't talk about him around us. Just then, the door banged open, and a man walked in. He looked to be about two years older than my mom, Aunt Chris, Uncle Uriah, and Aunt Mar.
"Christina?" He asked, looking like he couldn't possibly believe that she was here.
That's when I recognized him. He was the man in the picture. The man that I'd been dreaming about meeting my entire life. It was my dad.
So, what do you think? Any ideas on how Four will react? I'm not sure if it was clear, Four doesn't know yet about Gwyneth and Tris. I'm not really sure how to start this next chapter, so I'd like to hear what you guys want to see happen. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
