Tris POV
"Tris" I hear faintly in the distance. I try to open my eyes, but right now it seems impossible. I feel my head move around a little and hear that voice again.
"Tris, you need to wake up" the voice tells me. It sounds like a dream, one I never want to leave. I start to see light in the corner of my eye, and blink rapidly before completely opening my eyes.
I look around slowly, as everything seems to be fuzzy to me. I see a figure on my bed, maybe smiling, maybe frowning. Its too hard to see. The person squeezes my hand and stands up. I try to call out to them, but I cant talk.
I try to get up, but my body seems to weak now. The person walks out of the room, then brings someone with long, brown hair and a smile I could never miss.
"Mom" I weakly say. Things start to get clearer and I feel myself smiling. In the corner of my eye, I see Four smiling down at me. I smile back at him before trying to sit up. "Slow down there princess" Four says, while helping me sit up.
He sits at the end of the bed and smiles again. I feel like I could get lost into it, but I focus back on my mother.
"Mom. Why didn't you come back? I'm was scared and afraid and you just left me there" I say to her, tears falling down my face. She sighs and looks away.
"My darling Beatrice. L love you so much. I just had to do something and I wanted to come back, but the news took me by surprise". What took me by surprise is that she never called me darling, or Beatrice for the matter. Only when she was mad but she would use my full name. Beatrice Prior.
I smile faintly and focus on my mom. She grabs my hand and squeezes it. "I wish I could have been there for you, but what happened to your father. It broke me" she says, her eyes starting to gloss. Something was strange and different about her. I didn't like it.
"Beatrice, is everything alright, your as pale as a ghost" she tells me, looking concerned. I nod and smile again. I look over at Four who looks at me too. He knows something is wrong, by the way he looks at me, then my mom.
"I'll let you rest darling, I love you" she squeezes my hand then leaves me with Four. "Something's wrong isn't it?" he asks me.
I try to think of why my mom was acting like that. Maybe she changed since dad died. I shake my head and try to stand again. He helps me up and lets me change. I finally look around the room. The room is quite big with letters in bold, red saying 'FEAR GOD ALONE' on one of the walls.
I look back at Four who is walking towards the kitchen, getting a drink. "Where are we?" I ask him, still weak. He looks back at me and smiles a little.
"Welcome to Dauntless" he says, turning around and leaning against the bench. Everything seemed darker, but more fun here. I smiled at him before asking him if I could have a tour.
"Sure princess".
"Why do you call me princess?" I ask him. He smiles and shrugs. "I don't know, you technically are one" then he walks out the metal door. I sigh and follow him, down some corridors before reaching a large area with a lot of people.
"Welcome to the pit. The centre of life here at dauntless" he tells me. He looks at me and I realise this must be his home. He looks more comfortable here then amity. I see Shauna and a goofy Zeke sitting at a bar. I sprint to them and hug him tightly.
"I am so glad your okay" I tell him. He hugs me back and pulls away. "Didn't think you would be that concerned but thanks" he says with that smirk of his. I smile back then look at Shauna. She seems fine, maybe still a bit hurt, but fine.
"How you feeling. You slept for like 4 days" Zeke asks me. I look at Four and he nods. Four days? How does someone do that?
I look around the pit and take it in. there are stores and people in black clothing and excitement and happiness. I see Uriah playing the drums while people dance around them. Christina dancing with Will. Everyone seems home here.
Four grabs my hand and I feel sparks go up my arm. I ignore the feeling and follow him. He leads me down some more dark corridors until we reach a room in which he says it is called the chasm.
"This is my favourite place here" he tells me while dragging me down to sit beside him on the ledge. I look down at the rushing water and smile. It seems calming to me. I like it too.
I look at Four and smile. I've never really seen him like this. Being himself I guess. I think this might be the first time he has really opened up to me. I smile again and look down at our connecting hands.
I don't like thinking about what I feel for him. honestly, I don't know what this feeling is. I've never really had a boyfriend before. Sure, maybe some casual hook-ups, but never someone who I have committed to.
These feelings are new and strange and I cant explain it. I stare at him for too long because he turns to me. He looks down at our hands and smiles. "You totally have a crush on me" he says.
I gasp a little and laugh. He is obviously joking about it, but it hits me hard. What if I do like my guardian? I mean, I'll be around him for the rest of my life. Maybe… no Tris! It wont work out because you don't like him like that.
"What are you thinking about?" he asks me. I shake me head and smile at him. I rest my head on his shoulder and sigh. Maybe I am developing feelings for Four. And maybe I am too afraid to tell him.
Thanks you for reading this chapter. review and like!
