okay guys to tell you the truth I have no idea where I am in the initiations so I'm just gonna keep doing the simulations for a few chapters! But it's okay because initiation is not particularly important in my story! If you have any ideas of where I am I would love to know! Haha I'm good at this aren't I?
POV Tris
I storm into the dorm room still pretty pissed from Eric. Christina sees me. She looks kinda mad...
"What were you doing with Eric?" By the way she asked it she knows exactly what I was doing. What she doesn't know is how I feel about it, however I think if I told her Eric might make sure Christina ended up dead at the bottom of the chasm.
"Um..." I better use my un-Candor skills quickly, "Well, you know how I used to think he was gross, and ya know, disgusting " She nods, like she has know idea where I'm going, but hey, I don't have a clue either, "Well, now, I thought about that, and I mean he really is a great person. He's.. I don't know Eric... I can't explain it, he just, is so... ahhh." I hope I sound girly enough that she believes me.
"Okay even though I don't even vaguely respect your opinion and in no way agree with it I will go with it." I can tell she really hates my choice, that I didn't even choose willing... Oh well it's either this or my friends die in horrible ways.
"Well I'm exhausted I'm going to bed." I say. I take a quick shower brush my teeth and jump in bed. The second my head touches the pillow I'm out.
POV Tobias
After last night seeing Tris kiss Eric I've been in a bad mood. I've seen them around the compound together and I don't know it just seems... off. The whole relationship seems wrong. But I don't know if that's only because I think Tris should be with me and anyone else she's with is wrong. Somehow I think it's more than that.
We have simulations today so I'll get to be alone with her, hopefully be able to walk her back to the dorms.
I walk past the initiates dorms on my way the cafeteria. Through the door I hear loud voices, than nothing, than Eric bursts out of the dorms clutching Tris' arm, Tris looking flustered. By the time they are out of the door I am just turning the door so if I don't acknowledge that I saw anything I doubt they would even know I saw anything. I don't know why but it feels important for me not to get involved, not yet at least.
Tris sat next to Eric during breakfast and he took her to the simulation room. I am shocked and nervous when Eric comes into the simulation room with me. I know some leaders were asked by the Euridite to look for Divergent and I can only hope that he isn't one of those leaders.
Many initiates go by but I only administer their simulations, not really paying attention. The only person I care about is Tris.
At last she comes in. I open the door and call Tris' name and she comes forward. She doesn't look as frightened as all the other initiates did. It only further indicates that she is Divergent.
She looks around about to sit in the chair but then her eyes find Eric and she jumps back. He only smirks cruelly at her. Tris jumps in the chair and I set up her simulation. I inject the serum into her neck and look at the screen. I wish I could be more affectionate but Eric is here and that wouldn't be a good idea.
After about 3 seconds into the simulation Eric comes and watches the simulation over my shoulder. He's not touching me but his presence sends shivers through me.
After around 10 seconds Tris' fear takes place. She watches each one of her transfer friends, plus a few dauntless initiates die. Each in a different way; each worse than the last. This is a terrible simulation because there is nothing she could do to get out of it, she just has to wait it out. As Christina is finally taken away from the pole she was hung on, a voice comes on addressing a tear soaked Tris.
"Admit it." The voice says sternly. I have no idea what the voice is talking about but obviously Tris does. A breathe gets caught in her throat and she starts crying harder. All I want to do is get her out of this simulation and comfort her but I can't.
"No!"Tris gets out. She says it stronger than I would have thought possible for the state she's in. "Say it, you can't get out until you do." That completely and totally gave away her divergence. This fear was created by her conscious, and her conscious wouldn't have been able to tell she could get out of this unless she knew it was a simulation, a sure sign of divergence. I can only hope anyone who watches won't pick up on that.
Tris chokes on another sob but speaks again. "It was my fault. All of it was my fault." Her words are almost too quite to hear. "What was your fault?"The voice asks.
"Them dyeing.. all of them, my fault." She seems so distraught and it breaks my heart but I'm still so confused. "Elaborate." This voice is very persistent.
"My friends, they died because I didn't listen..." "To who?!" The voice practically screams. "To him; to Eric." The simulation goes black but Tris is still there. I don't know why, this has never happened before. I am really confused though. This fear wouldn't be on her conscious for no reason, and it was because she hadn't done something Eric wanted. And her and Eric are now 'dating'. By the time Tris wakes up, I've put together enough to know something about their relationship is defiantly wrong.
POV Eric
Tris finishes her simulation- finally- and I can only hope that Four didn't catch on to what her fear really was. I'll have to bring that up later with Tris. The relationship must look real to him.
Tris jolts up, panting and begins whipping at tears that have just surfaced to her eyes. She glances at me, and seems terrified like I would lash out and hurt her. And I probably would if Four wasn't here. Tris jumps out of her chair and exits the room, followed by Four. Good I need him not to be here.
I slide into the chair in front of the computer I log into the account to send Jeanine the simulation. Tris' divergence was pretty obvious in this simulation so I will be surprised if Jeanine doesn't catch it.
POV 3rd PERSON
As Tobias walks Tris back to the dorm he can't help but think about how much danger she is potentially in, and how much he wants to keep her safe. He has strong feelings for her and frustratingly he is in no position to make a move on her. But that doesn't mean he won't.
As they get to the dorm door they both stop. Tris stands in front of Tobias while he leans against the wall.
"I have to tell you, that simulation of yours was pretty intense." Tobias says. Tris' stomach sinks. He can't can't find out; she would be in so much trouble with Eric, he would hurt her in one way or another.
"Yeah, it was bad." Is all she says trying to not get into that subject. Tobias senses the tension, changing the subject.
"Okay don't try to lie to me, I know something is up with that relationship of yours with Eric."
"There is nothing up with us, I'm completely happy with him, why would you even think something was wrong?" Tris asks, with a forceful tone.
"I don't know it just doesn't seem right. The way you act is fine, but you, I don't know, your aura seems scared, or mad, or something." Tobias is at a loss for words but the words that do come out are exactly right. Tris can't just stand here and lie to him so she says something she hopes will shock him enough for her to slip away without him catching up to her.
"Just because your emotions are telling you different doesn't mean I'm not completely happy with the relationship I'm in." She spins on her heel and rushes into the dorms leaving Tobias completely and utterly shocked, but still not convinced what she said was the truth.
POV Eric
Just minutes after I sent the simulation to Jeanine she video messaged me. I hope no one comes in.
Jeanine looks around the room I'm in. "Lock the doors, no one can come in." She says. I do as she says. "Obviously Tris is Divergent." I say nothing. "Well what do you think?" She asks. "I don't know, you're the expert." I say. She snorts. "I know that."
"Okay so what's the plan, do you want me to bring her to you now?" I kinda hope not, my plan to ruin Four hasn't even had time to happen yet.
"No." She replies. "I have a plan for her, but not yet. You will bring her to me the night before the whole plan initiates."
So what did you think? I love your onions! I'm sure your happy with the kinda sorta cliff hanger! The next few chapters should be a little emotionally intense so prepare yourselves. Okay so I'm gonna tell you the plan for how this is gonna go: kinda emotionally exiting, then a bit of waiting, then bam! everything happens! I think I will not go to far over 20 chapters with this story, but I have no idea, whatever happens happens!
I hope you liked this one I should update within a few days! 3 Anna
