Four's POV
"Hey, Tori." I greet her as I walk into the tatoo parlor.
"Hi, Four. What are you doing here? Do you want a new tattoo?" she asks me as her eyes trace down the bruise that has been forming on my left cheek. I got into a fight with Eric. He needs to lay in the infirmary for two more days until they'll let him go.
"No. I just came here to ask if you know where Uriah is?"
"Um... I think he went somewhere with Tris. He said he wanted to show her something."
Tris. The short Abnegation girl who arrived a few days ago. Max ordered everyone to watch her and make sure that nothing happens to her. She seems really fragile, but there's something about her that makes her strong and brave at the same time. When we met, she asked me without any hesitation why is everyone afraid of me. She explained by saying that she sees how they all look at me. I replied that those who don't know me, fear me, but others respect me. Respect is earned and not given. I worked for it. Then, I asked her if she's afraid of me too, but she shook her head and replied:
"No. I may not know you, but I respect you." I laughed at that. She is adorable. I usually don't like anyone, but I like her. She's brave.
"Marlene told me that they arrived an hour ago."
"Then they must be here somewhere. Go look around." I nod, turn around and walk away. I go to the dining hall and decide that I need to eat something. I sit down next to Lauren who waved me to sit with her. We talked for a few minutes when the door opens and everyone in the dining hall goes quiet, except the people who walked in.
A crowd of Dauntless members, who I recognize as Zeke, Shauna, Lynn and Marlene, walk in front with Uriah and Tris following them...
Tris looks amazing. She's wearing a black Dauntless dress and black shoes. Her eyes are defined by an eye-liner and she's wearing more makeup. She looks like a Dauntless member and she's hot.
I notice that I stared at her, so I train my eyes on the Dauntless cake in front of me. They all come sit down at our table, Tris across from me.
"Wow, Tris! You look so amazing!" Lauren says, ethusiastically.
Tris blushes and looks down, thanking her. Uriah brings her some cake and she takes it. She explains how she never had cake before she came to Dauntless.
"You will never taste anything better than the Dauntless cake." I say. "The Dauntless have the best cakes in the world."
Her eyes find mine and she smiles. We all eat and then Uriah and I say goodbye to everyone, as we go to Max's office. He wanted to see us both. That's why I've been looking for him.
We storm inside his office, not bothering to knock, because that's not what the Dauntless do.
"Ah, Uriah, Four. Nice for you to finally stop by. I've been waiting for you."
He gestures us to sit down so we can talk. We do and he explains.
"I'm here to talk to you both about being Divergent. Beatrice is Divergent, which is extremely dangerous. That is the reason why the Erudite need her. Being Divergent means belonging to different factions, not just one. All of the Divergents we've known had only two results, but Beatrice has three, which makes her too valuable to Erudite."
"How do you know she has three results? How do you even know she's Divergent?" I ask.
"We've been keeping a close eye on her. And so has Jeanine."
"Why is she so important?" Uriah asks Max.
"Because she is the key to power. The key to war and destruction."
