Here is another chapter!

Four is back!

Enjoy :)


Four POV

Her speech had gotten everyone excited, and also nervous too. Tris was suddenly overwhelmed with the fact that she was the leader of this kind. She was given jobs to do, check up on things. And most important, lead an army to victory. She was lucky I was around.

"Tell me what to do. I don't understand any of this" Tris asked me. Tori, one of the 'leaders' at dauntless had given her an office to use while she was trying to rule her kind. The first few days where filled with her frustrating screams and cries. She didn't want to do this at all, and in all honestly, never did I.

By the 5th day, she had a control on things, with my help and with some music to lighten the mood, she looked and felt happier. I walked over to her desk that she was sitting at and looked at the screen. She was trying to order food here to dauntless. Seriously? This was her problem?

I sighed and ordered the food myself, while she sat back and watched. Well, at least I thought she was watching.

After the food was ordered I tried to bring up how we were going to go up against Marcus and his army. But once I did she pushed the thought away and went on to a completely different topic.

I knew why she was doing it. She had no clue how to run an army, let alone lead it to victory.

"Tris, we need to talk about this. I can bring someone in with experience to help us" I tried again. she looked up from the computer and looked at me. Her expression didn't show any emotion. She just looked.

She sighed then looked back at her screen. "Who would you bring in, if I were to let this happen?" she questioned me, her focus now back on the screen.

"Someone who can lead this army to victory" I told her. She pushed away from the computer and stared at me again. She squinted her eyes at me, questioning wether or not to do this, but she finally gave in, rolling her eyes at me and waving her hand at me.

I grinned at her, before exciting the room to go talk to Tori and the other 'leaders'. I took the long walk, and saw all of them crowded around a bar table. Everyone seemed more relaxed now that Tris had declared war on Marcus. They all thought she would be able to lead them.

"She's ready" I told them. they all looked up at me, and knew exactly what I was talking about. They all seemed to agree and let me sit in the booth to discuss details.

"What does she want to do?" Max asked me. I looked around the table, before responding.

"She wants someone with experience to help her decide what to do. Preferably someone in the army or something who has done this before" I told them. they all seemed to be thinking hard. This was the most important decision of there lives, and mine.

Choosing someone would either kill us or let us live. Suddenly Tori lend over to Max, and whispered something in his ear. She pulled back and gave a shrug. Max looked concerned but nodded. He looked at me and gave me an answer.

"How bout Eric?" I stared at him for what seemed forever before shaking my head, quiet violently. "No. no way. You think I want him near her, let alone be in dauntless? His mother murdered Tris's mom. What do you think about that?" I told them, angry at Tori and Max for even considering him.

"Look I know you and Eric have history, but he has experience. He was a master sergeant for 2 years. He was the first ever at that age. He knows what he is doing. Even though his mother was Jeanine Mathews, Candor had a trial against him and found him guilty. Those people never lie to us". Tori defended him.

I rolled my eyes and brought my head down to my hands. Was I really going to let him near her again? or was I going to let everyone here die? I groaned before agreeing to the idea.

I walked back to her office frustrated by this decision. I slammed the door open to her office and slammed it shut again.

She looked up from her computer, smirking at me. "What's got your knickers in a twist?" she asked me. I stormed over to the couch in the room and collapsed onto it.

"They chose Eric" I told her. I couldn't see her reaction, as I was lying down, but I knew she seemed confused.

"You hate him" she told me. I rolled my eyes at her, even though she couldn't see me.

"No shit Tris" I bit back. I heard her walk over and pushed me so she could lie down to. I scooted over and she laid down to.

"So what now?" she asked quietly. I didn't know the answer. I really didn't. I thought I knew everything, but right now, in this moment, I didn't know.

"I don't know. Wait for him to come I guess" I responded. She titled her head to face me, an I did the same.

We were so close, and yet I felt so far away from her, and what I wanted. I wanted her. I've always wanted her. The first time I saw her I knew I wanted her. Her beautiful grey blue eyes shined when she smiled. Her humour was annoying at times, but she made me smile anyway. I wanted this girl. But every chance I had to let her know, something bad always had to happen.

"I'm bored. Can we go do something?" She asked, ruining the moment. I smiled anyway, shaking my head and glanced at the ceiling.

"Sure princess, anything for you" I tod her, sitting up and pushed her off, making her fall of the couch. She glared before giving me her hand, as if I would help her up. I rolled my eyes and helped her stand, before she punched me in the shoulder.

I opened the door for her, but saw someone I hadn't seen in a while. It was Tris's uncle. Dr Prior. His first name was Steve, and he was a bit older then what her dad was. He was part of the elders, the people who have seem more than we have.

He had only ever come to visit the factions if it was an a emergency. His eyes fell on Tris, and he smiled. She looked at me in confusion. She didn't know him.

I pulled her back in the room, and settled her down on the couch next to me, while he took the chair in front of her desk.

"Tris, I haven't introduced myself, I'm Dr Steve Prior. I was you fathers brother" he told her, extended a hand to her. She reluctantly shook it, before scooting closer to me.

"Why are you here?" I asked him. I was starting to worry. Bad things always followed behind him.

"Both of your parents deaths were tragic, done by two evil people. But seeing how close both of them were from both dying, makes the elders wonder how long it sis until you may be next". He started. He kept looking between both of us.

"So we have decided, that you need to marry before something else happens". I stared shocked at him. I looked down at Tris who looked the same. She looked confused then angry.

"I'm sorry, but don't I lead this kind? You cant tell me what to do" She told him boldly. I sighed and lifted her chin to look at me.

"He's an elder. He can tell you what to do. He knows more knowledge then you. You may be the leader, but they do have a say in everything you do" I told her calmly. She looked up at me, then back at him.

She sat back for a moment, thinking about what she would do until she nodded her head slowly. I gulped some air in and looked back at the elder.

"We have selected a few young men who we think are suitable for you. I'm sorry to tell you Four isn't one of them. He is your guardian, it's against the rules"

I chocked on air, while she looked shocked at what he had said. She went red a little bit before composing herself.

"Don't worry. Nothing is going on between me and Four" Ouch. Oh yeah that hurt. Everything that I felt for her angered inside of me. She looked a little upset to say it. Maybe she did have feelings for me. But if she did, then wouldn't she be sticking up for me? I would be in her nature to do so. So the answer is no Four, she does not like you.

"Well then, I will meet with you soon. Until then Tris" and then he stood and left. We sat there in silence before I stood up. She stood up to and turned to me.

"Four…"

"Don't. You said it. Nothing is going on between. I'm your guardian and that is it".

But really on the inside from this cold, harsh exterior, I was hurting like hell. I wanted Tris Prior. I wanted now.
