Four POV
I had first met Beatrice Prior when she was only 3. I was 5 and nervous to meet her. My mother had made me where a very fancy outfit, which must had cost her a lot from the store. We where leaving in the human community at the time. She was always kind to me, making me feel loved. She was the only person to ever make me feel loved.
"Now Tobias, you have to make a good impression today" she starts, fixing my shirt. "Beatrice has already met hundreds of other little boys to protect her when she is older, and so far she hasn't like any of them".
"When you met her, be nice and just be yourself" she smiles at me. I nod my little head of mine and take her hand. She pulls me along to the car, and then we went to the big hall where the meeting was at.
Once we entered, I had gotten nervous. So many other boys where there, aged between 4-7. They had wanted to keep the ages young, so that they would be more quicker as someone who was older.
I grabbed my mothers hand tightly, and she looked down at me. She kneeled before me and smiled. "Remember what I told you know" she said before kissing my forehead. I loved my mothers smile. It always seemed to calm me down. She then pulled me along to two seats in the middle, and made me sit down on one.
After a while some guards came out of the stage doors, and out come the leaders of our kind. They were only very young, Andrew Prior being 22 and Natalie Prior, being 20. Natalie was human before she became like us. it was never seen before, someone human become supernatural. They smiled at everyone and went to the podium to speak.
In Mr Priors hands was a little girl, playing with a doll. Everyone gasped and smiled and clapped for them. My mother looked at me and smiled. She wanted me to get the job so badly. It would keep me safe, away form my father.
"Today we are looking for someone who brave, smart, kind, selfless, and truthful to take the job of protecting our daughter, Beatrice" Andrew had announced. Everyone was whispering, telling there children to be that person.
"We will have 5 minutes with each other your children, and with our daughter, to see if you are in fact what we are looking for". I looked at Tris for the first time and smiled. Her hair was short, but golden, and her eyes demanded attention from the audience. She looked up from her bear and looked around the hundreds of people seating before her.
her eyes swept the ballroom, looking at everyone. Her eyes landed on mine, and she smiled a little. She then quickly looked away as her parents were moving into the back room again. My mother looked at me and grinned.
"I think she likes you already".
Hours later, we were one of the last people to go in. my mother grabbed my hand, shaking a little. She looked down at me and smiled a little. "Be brave mummy" I told her before we entered the room.
The floors where carpeted with white and gold. The ceiling had paintings of naked people. I shook my head then walked over to the leaders.
They hadn't noticed we entered, as they were talking to there daughter. One of the guards whispered something to them, and they both stood up and looked at us. they smiled and shook my mothers hand.
"Hi it's nice to meet you, I'm Natalie and this is Andrew. And this little monster is Beatrice, but she likes Tris better" she told my mother. My mom smiled at them then motioned me to go talk to Tris.
She was seating on a blanket and was playing with her doll. I sat across from her and she looked up. She smiled at me and laughed a little. "Your that silly boy!" she giggled. You could hear a pin drop in the room. I looked up at her parents to see them shocked.
"She hasn't talked to anyone yet" she told my mom, she looked shocked then looked at me. I looked at Tris then crawled to her. "I'm Tobias" I told her. she smiled then grabbed my little hand with her even littler one.
"Tris! My name is Tris!" she squealed. I laughed at her and smiled. She gave me her doll and told me its name was twinkle. "Why tinkle?" "Because silly its eyes are sparkly!" she told me. She then crawled to me and sat in my lap. I was taken back but excepted it. "I like you Toby! I want him mommy! I want to be my guardian!".
How was I supposed to protect her from the one thing I didn't know how to? She saw her dad before anyone. Her scream was loud and ear piercing. She rushed over to him but I grabbed her first. "Tris! Listen to me" but she wiggled out of my grip and dropped to her bleeding dads side.
She was crying into his bloody chest, while I checked the other wounds. I looked up at the others and shook my head. There was no use in trying. He was gone already. She looked up at me for hope, but all I could do was shake my head.
She cried even more and squeezed her dads hand. "Daddy! Listen to me! You have to keep fighting, not for me, not for mom but for everyone who needs you in this world!" she shouted at him. He smiled a little then looked at his crying daughter.
"You are strong, and brave. You can do this Tris. I love you" he barely whispered. Blood was dripping from his mouth as he talked. I didn't know what to do, everyone was crowding around him. Shouting, and yelling for Natalie to come and see him.
"And Four" I looked at him and felt a lump in my throat. "You protect my daughter" he whispered to me. I nodded at him and squeezed his other hand. Tris cried into his drenched shirt and screamed for him to keep trying.
I moved to her and pulled her into my lap. She straddled me and cried into my shirt. Her fathers blood was getting all over me, but I didn't care right now, all I cared about was her.
"Do something Four! Please anything!" she cried into my shirt. I squeezed her tighter and looked and Andrew. His eyes were closing and he was mumbling something. I pushed her back a little and went closer to him.
"Andrew what did you say?" I ask him. He moves a little, then smiles. "Marcus is coming. Protect my people. Save our race" and then he stops moving. Tris cries louder and screams again. She crawls into my lap again, and that's were we stay. Her in my lap, and her dead father next to us.
Its been four days since her fathers death, and they had buried him and had a funeral which was broadcast around the other supernatural areas. I was sitting with Zeke and Peter, in there room trying to figure out what to do.
"I don't deal with loses. I don't know how to make her better" I confess to them. They look up from there games. "Just comfort her, like when you did the other day" Peter tells me. I nod and tell them I will.
It takes me a while for me even to knock on her door. Her mother was notified and hadn't come back since she was called. We had a feeling she was going after Marcus, but everyone hoped she was staying at Dauntless, another supernatural area.
I knock on the door and slowly open the door. The mood was depression, and it was very dark in the room. She was lying in her bed, looking at her phone. Her faced glowed with light.
I walked over to her bed and sat quite close to her. she looks up at me and smiles a little. She then sits up and hands me her phone. I look down and see old photos of her father and her.
She is silent for a while before she speaks. "Who did it Four. Who killed my dad" she asks me. I turn to her and sigh. How was I supposed to tell her that my father killed her dad?
My father was a bad man. We was one of us; the good guys. He and Tris's dad were close. Then one day he shot ten people. It scared me so much. He then disappeared and come back with an army of the bad guys behind him.
He told everyone that he was born a bad guy, but he lied his way in to get information. He killed my mother soon afterwards, leaving me to live with Zeke and Uriah.
"It's hard to explain right now, but. My father did" she doesn't react the way I thought she would. She just grabs my hand and squeezes. "Um, my mom explained to me the other day that your dad did what he did. I'm so sorry Four" she says before reaching over to hug me.
This girl is a mystery to me. I hug her back and she falls backwards, making me fall with her. she laughs a little then looks up at me. She looks for a while before looking away. "Can you stay here?" she says. I nod the lay down next to her.
She cuddles up to my body and sighs. Then my shirts starts to feel wet. "You can cry if you want to Tris" I tell her. then she starts to cry a lot more.
I pull her closer, twisting my body so that she is crying on my chest. "I can't get the blood of my hands" she whisper in my chest. I pull back a little and looks at her. she does seem to have blood there.
I pull her up and towards the bathroom, making her sit on the toilet while I grab a wet towel and soap and try to clean her hands first. She only has a singlet on and some underwear, and although the thought is nice, and the view, she is a mess, and she just lost her dad.
I wipe away slowly, making sure I don't hurt her. She smiles at me before questioning me. "How long did you train for until you got control of your powers? And when do you get them?'.
"Well, I've known I have then since I was 10. It takes a while to control, but when you do it gets easier". There is a silence between us again. I start to clean her cheek, slowly. She closes her eyes and tears roll down her face.
I wipe them away for her and she sighs. "Have you ever lost anyone Four?" she asks between breathes. She opens her eyes when I pull away from her cheek.
"Um, yeah. My mother. She was murdered by my… you know" she looks at me shocked. She then kneels in front of me and wipes my tears. I didn't even know I was crying.
"I didn't think I was ever going to see big scary Four cry" she tells me. I laugh a little then push her back on the toilet. She thanks me for the help then pulls me out of the toilet. I turn around while she gets changed, but every once in a while I turn around to see her beautiful body.
She grabs my hand and pulls me with her out of the room. She then quickens her pace before sprinting down the hallway. She starts to laugh and I laugh with her. she then stops and turns to me. "Your not so bad after all" I smile at her and thank her.
She walks away and goes to the stop where I talked her the first day she got here. I follow behind her. She put on that white dress, and right now its flowing in the wind. The wheat that is growing brushes past her, as she puts her hands and skims it. I smile at her, when she turns around.
When we get to the stop, she makes me sit down first before climbing into my lap. She rest her head on my shoulder and sighs. I wrap my arms around her and hold her tight. I smile into her hair and kiss the top of it.
"Can we try to do my powers?" she asks me. I smile and nod my head. She is probably trying to distract herself from her father. It's probably a smart thing to do.
She gets up and stands in front of me. I stand up and walk behind her, pulling her back towards my chest. "Which one first?" I whisper in her ear. She shudders a little and tells me ice.
I put one of her arms in front of her, and put her hand flat. "Okay" I tell her. "Now concentrate on that tree" I say pointing a tree. "Now think about freezing it. Think about how you want it to turn to ice. Really concentrate" but I haven't even finished talking before ice is shooting towards the tree, and freezes it over. She squeals with excitement and faces me.
"Did you see that!" she asks me. I'm left speechless. I nod and look back at the tree. It's completely frozen over. I laugh a little than look back at her.
She's making shapes now. What the hell! I wasn't even that good when I tried for the first time!.
"lets go show off" I tell her then throw her over my shoulder. She squeals and I take her back to her room, hoping she is better than before.
