So the next day I sit in our pick up and drive to Chicago. It's a beautiful day once again. The sun shines occasionally and the temperature is just perfect, not to cold and not to hot.
I'm wearing a green parka and a pair of leather boots. Probably the most comfortable outfit I have right now. And I'm not going somewhere to look pretty today. It takes me about 2 and a half hour to get in Chicago. Luckily I don't really mind long trips.
When I get there I am amazed to see the high buildings. Most are already renovated but there are still some that yet need to be renovated. I get through the gate that only exist to see who's getting in and out and park my car.
I approach someone to ask him if he knows Tobias. It might be a shot in the dark but I could just ask.
'Excuse me, Do you know where I can find Tobias Eaton?' I stand up straighter, I am standing in front of one of the tallest persons I've ever seen.
''Hey Heath!' He yells at the person standing by the gate.
'Yeah?'
''Do you know where Tobias is?
'Yeah he's working in the former Dauntless compound.' The tall guy gives me some directions to find it.
'Thank you,' I say. And I walk away.
I feel quite uncomfortable at first. I've heard about the faction system but I didn't know some people still have their old habits. I spot a few dressed up in black with all kinds of tattoos. I notice that some have the same as I have; The flame. I must be from here.
I find an entrance that doesn't force me to jump of a building. I'm not insane.
I once had a dream where I jumped of a building. I didn't want to but the dream forced me to. Looking back at that now it must have been the most frightening dream ever. I woke up as I hit the ground, pretty sure that I would have been dead if that wasn't a dream. I shiver because or remembering that dream.
I look around. It's like a big cave. People walk around making jokes. In my eyes it looks like a place for teens to hang and shop. It's been a while since I've actually been in a mall so I am not quite sure if I can call this a mall. I spot Tobias and call for him.
Christina POV
'Hey Tobias!' A girl I don't know calls for him. I can see that he isn't feeling comfortable. He haven't said much since he returned yesterday. I didn't want to bother him so I said nothing and let him do his thing.
'Raven what are you doing here?' he says. He did tell me that Raven was his friend's fiancé. I wonder about the same thing now. Why would she come from a city far away without mentioning it?
'I want answers,' she demands. 'Why don't you tell me what I want to know.'
'First you don't want to know it and now you do,' Four says angry. Raven says nothing.
'Listen Raven, you don't want to know it. Just go home and enjoy your live.'
'No I don't want to go home. I want answers, whether you are going to tell or not.' She says.
'Hey everyone! If you recognize me then please let me know!' I like this girl. She isn't afraid to say what she thinks. People look at her direction. Some laugh and others whisper. What a weird girl.
'Bye Tobias.' And she walks away.
'Hey who was that?' I ask Tobias a few seconds later.
'Raven' he blows that name through his teeth.
'And... You like her?' I say.
'Christina please... Don't'
'What was that about then?'
'I just don't know what to do okay? At first she doesn't want me to tell her and now she suddenly does.'
'Tell what?'
'Who she was before she got amnesia. She doesn't know anything from her past.'
'She has amnesia?' I ask.
'Yes. She's from here but she can't remember. I just don't want to tell her how bad her past is. She has got a good life.' He says that with pain his eyes.
'She will find out without you. You should have just told her.'
'Probably.'
'It's Tris isn't it?' I said that before I even realize it. I am shocked by how quick that came out of my mouth.
'What do you mean?'
'Raven is Tris. I can see it in your eyes. Ever since you came back you have barely said a word. '
'She's happy. I've seen that back in the town. I don't want her to find out we had, that's selfish. She has Chris now.'
'It's not.' I try. ''We tell her, explain the truth.'
For a second I see a little smile. 'What if we let her try herself? She remained stubborn so she will find out soon enough' he says.
'Yes she was. Is I mean. God she is stubborn.' I laugh too. Tris is alive. I missed her.
I am so thankful for all the nice reviews I'm getting! It encourages me to continue. So please keep writing your opinion down! I know it may not always be perfect but hey, I'm not a professional write éh ;) Plus English isn't my first language so sometimes my descriptions of feelings may be a bit boring.
toodles, Sassie
