A/N - Well, it has been a while. I have no good reason, I'm just really lazy. Summer break is here which might mean more updates. Don't hate me for incorrect grammar English is not my language.
Disclaimer - I don't own Divergent, Veronica Roth does.
Chapter 13
Walking in the now quiet dining hall makes his way to us seem twice as long. His long strides closing the distance. Everyone stares at him, just like then. Only then my future was partly in his hands, now I am safe. Yet my Divergents will make sure that I am never really safe.
His greasy black hair and pirced face still have enough power to get me killed if I do the wrong thing. Even my 'scary ass' boyfriend, as Uriah so nicely put it, can't help me. Not that I really want his help, because I need to fend for myself no matter how physically weak I may seem.
"What do you want Eric?" Four asks in his harsh instuctor voice.
"Oh, snappy are we Four. Actually I came for your pretty little girlfriend here." Then he looks at me. "Minus the pretty part" He adds quicly. Nice.
I am Dauntless. I'm Dauntless. The brave. "Yeah, what for?" I exceed my own expectations when my words come out confident and strong. "Do you mind if I just eat my food?"
"You'll find out what for. Yes stiff I mind, I'm the leader you follow my order. Always."
While standing, I give Tobias a glance trying to tell him that I will be okay. Tobias might be overprotective, but he is also the person that believes the most in my strenght. He knows that I am strong enough to take care of myself.
We walk out of the dining hall. Just outside the door however we stop. He turns around, looking at me with his determend eyes in a way that is probably supposed to make me shrink. Therefor I do not. I need to show my bravery to this man. Show him how much I belong here, in Dauntless. My faction. I shall not look away.
After a few minutes of him staring and me not looking away he breakes the silence. "Remember the faction meeting?" I nod "Well they have decided to put the serum in the cake batter with immeadiate effect, you need to help us find them. Every divergent will react to the serum by what seems like an allergyc reaction. Bloodshot eyes, a rash and sneezing. If you see anyone with these symtomes you need to hand them over to us."
Eric says a few more things, but the only thing I can think about is Uriah eating that cake just a few minutes ago. He will be sendt to Erudite unless I help him.
Finally he waves his hand showing me I'm dismissed. As fast as I can I make my way to the table where all my friends look at me. The are waiting for an explanation, but I don't have time for that.
While grabbing Uriah's arm I say "Uriah, Four we need to leave now" quiet, but stern.
They look at me dumbfounded, but follow. Zeke makes a joke to Tobias about him being wraped around my finger. I don't hear Tobias's reply, but it defidently shuts him up.
When we reach my appartment I usher them in and lock the door.
"I think I'm allergyc to your apartment Tris" Uriah says while rubbing his red eyes.
"Not my apartment. Cake" I whisper.
"No way, I'm not allergyc to the best thing in the world" He yells
Tobias just looks sceptically at the two of us. I sigh "Not allergyc Uriah. Divergent serum. They have begun."
His eyes widen. He looks scared just like the night in my apartment. However I know better, I know he is strong willed and strong minded. Uriah just like Tobias and me has the power to be whatever he needs to be. He has genuin strenght.
"Are you sure Tris?" Four asks. I nod "That is what Eric told me. The serum gives Divergent people an allergyc reaction to the cake. I am supposed to report them to the leaders. From there they will be taken to Erudite."
I sit down on the bed and drop my head in my hands. Defeated. "There is no way I can save all those people Four. Best case senario they will die, who knows what worst case is?" I shake my head fast. "And if I don't report anyone they will get that something is wrong."
If I don't report them Eric will get that I am Divergent. I don't say it out loud, but I know that all three are thinking it.
"No Tris you will not report your self, I know you are thinking it. You have always been selfless, you don't need to be now." Tobias's voice is not sympathetic. It's not a choice, it is an order.
"Uriah right now you need to go home. Do not under any circumstances buy allergy pills, that will be expected. Tomorrow we will figure out what to do with your symtomes."
Slowly Four's order forms in Uriah's head and he nods. Takes small steps and makes his way to his apartment. When he is gone Tobias and I are alone. Looking at each other.
"You need to re-" I interrupt him with my lips pressing to his. I pour all my need and longing into this kiss. Displaying how much I need him, and can't have him going to Erudite and be killed.
My lips move over his warm ones with a stedy rhythm. His thoung slides across my bottom lip and finds mine. For a while it is just that. My mouth on his, warmth spreading through my whole body. Untill I reluctantly pull away, getting lost in his deep blue eyes.
"Tobias, don't eat the cake. They won't know you are Divergent if you don't eat the cake." I hate that I sound desperate.
"It's not going to work Tris. They will probably make sure everyone eats the cake. Or they will put it in something else."
"The water. They said they were going to put it in the water. Why did they put it in the cake?" It does not make any sense. There is another thing bugging me.
"How did they do it? Divergents are aware in simulations how do you give them allergy symtomes"
This whole deal does not make sense there is something off. How is it possible. Something about this does not fit in the puzzle.
It's like a light goes on in the back of my head. Knowing. But then it is gone swallowed in darkness.
A/N - I'm sorry of some details don't add up last chapter was a while ago. I love reviews. Thank you for reading.
