Chapter 11-
~Tris' POV~
(The next night…)
Tobias and I finish dinner and walk to our room. Instead of getting showers and snuggling up together, Tobias and I change into our work clothes.
Tobias' work clothes consist of black pants and a simple clack shirt. Mine consist of the shoulder-showing top that Tobias like so much and black yoga pants. As we change, I catch a glimpse of Tobias' flame tattoo.
I remember that the first time I saw his tattoo was after the simulation test. I remember being scared about going too far with Four. He was scary, and now I scoff at myself for ever being afraid of the man I extremely loved.
As I laugh, Tobias turns to look at me.
"What?" I ask, blushing. Tobias is shirtless.
"What's so funny?" He asks, walking towards me.
"I was just remembering the first time I saw you with no shirt." I try to say boldly. I urge myself not to blush, but it doesn't work. I feel the pink seep into my cheeks. Tobias laughs, and I laugh along.
"Oh Tris," says Tobias, leaning against our bed.
I smile and say, "You know ya can't get rid of me cause you love me!"
"Yes, I know," he says laughing, putting on a shirt.
When both of us are dressed, we go outside our room and meet with Lauren, Eric, Shauna, Zeke, Uriah, Christina, and Will. We smile at everyone and go to wake up the transfers.
When we walk in, I can tell everyone is asleep. No one stirs while we walk around the room. Eric walks into the room behind us and starts to shout. All the transfers jump up and start to scurry about. They aren't listening and he's getting pissed off about it.
We walk out of the room and I look back at the transfers. I see Amanda hike on her jeans and scurry out of the room after us. We herd the players towards the dining hall and grab paint balls and guns.
We all meet outside by the train tracks. As the train comes around, Tobias and I hop on holding hands. As we sit down, I see Amanda staring at me. I ignore her and look out the train door. The world blurs past, all yellow and black and blue and green.
Lauren starts to explain all the rules to the initiates. The transfers look excited and scared, and the Dauntless initiates look excited and crazed. I know the feeling.
I feel Tobias lean into me, and his mouth brushes my ear as he tells me he is a captain and that he has to choose the initiates first. I frown, and I can feel Tobias laugh. He plants quick kiss on my cheek and turns to the car again.
A few minutes later, Eric clears his throat and everyone quiets down.
"We will have two teams, one led by Four, one led by Lauren." Eric looks disgusted as he says Lauren's name, and I know he's still mad that he can't oversee the training this year. Max is looking over this year's job of training the transfers.
"Four will pick first." Tobias lets go of my hand and smiles.
"I want… Carey."
Lauren smirks, and then chooses Deckham.
"Amanda."
"Robby."
"Mattie."
"Riley."
"Kaya."
Next, Lauren chooses the Dauntless borns.
They, meaning Tobias and Lauren, start choosing. When they are done choosing initiates, I realize that neither team has small or large people. Both teams look even.
Tobias lets go of my hand. I look at him, and then look at Lauren who is picking next.
"To start my team off with members, I want…Six."
"What?" I say. Tobias said we could be on a team together! This is crazy! I sigh and realize I stood up. I sit down and put my head in Tobias' shoulder. He chooses Uriah. Lauren chooses Christina, Shauna, Will, Eric and Zeke. Four gets, Lynn, Peter, Marlene, and Rita.
When the teams are divided up, Four's team is the first to get off. He kisses me goodbye and then he is gone. Christina comes to sit beside me and we start to chat.
A few minutes later, Lauren calls to our team and tells us to jump off. I take a reluctant look back and jump. Christina lands a few seconds later and rubs her leg. We walk East, then South, then East, and south. We seem to be going in a random pattern.
I put this past Christina and she laughs.
"Lauren doesn't want Four to follow us."
"Oh. That's smart." I feel a wanting in my stomach suddenly. I miss Tobias so much, it is almost unbearable. I hear laughter and see Zeke and Shauna are laughing. Zeke gives Shauna a piggy back ride and she starts to scream in delight.
When we have been walking for 20 minutes, Lauren turns and looks at the transfers.
"Decide what we do. We have exactly 15 minutes till Four's team will attack."
She turns around and sits on a tree stump. All the members do the same. I then realize that only the ground is left. Christina looks at me apologetically. I smile and motion to Zeke who is staring at me.
"Yes Zeke?" I ask.
"Would the lady like to sit on the master's lap?"
"What?"
"Tris, sit on my lap." Shauna laughs as Zeke pulls me down to sit on his lap. Tobias would not approve, but he knows I don't like Zeke.
"Sureee." I say, grinning.
"Zeke, you're almost as bad as Uriah."
Zeke pouts and I smile.
About 10 minutes later, the transfers come over.
"Yes?" Lauren asks.
Deckham has obviously been chosen to speak, because he steps forward.
"Our plan is to attack from the front. They will think that we will want to come from the sides, but we will really be coming from the most obvious, and least successful, point of attack. This is gonna work because they will have their forces split in fourths, so that they can cover the front, the sides, and around the flag."
I lean back into Zeke and whisper, "His Erudite side really shows through."
He nods and I get up.
"So," I say, facing Deckham, "When do we attack, Captain." I bow and pretend to take off a hat. Everyone snickers. Deckham looks mad.
"Now, Six," I smile sweetly and turn and walk away.
Lauren asks who wants to stay behind and guard the flag.
Christina, me, Riley, and 2 Dauntless Born Initiates volunteer to guard the flag. We take up places in the bushes and watch them run off.
When I see the last person disappear, I turn to Christina. Before I can say anything, though, we start hearing the cries.
Christina smiles.
"Now the party begins."
