Chapter 5: Marcus
Tris's Pov.
I race into the woods, looking back to make sure I'm not being followed. I can't afford Rosemary or that guy following me. I think his name was Four? I'm not sure, I vaguely remember Rosemary mentioning it. I spot an old abandoned factory and make my way in. This is one of the bases for The Faction Alliance. They don't tell me much, because back then I was REALLY against the factions, so they don't completely trust me. That makes sense, but for PETE'S SAKE I DON'T REMEMBER SHIT! I wonder what I was like and why I can't remember anything. A man walks up to me and says:
"Tris, did you get the document?" I nod and he smirks before continuing.
"Excellent. Follow me." He guides me to an office and tells me to wait. I don't understand why they need documents about Four, although it's not my place to ask. Eventually, a man exits and warmly says:
"Hello Tris. I haven't seen you in a while. Although, you probably don't remember me...my name is Marcus."
That name rings in my ears. I slowly walk into his office and hand him the document. He tears it open and reads it slowly.
"How's Four?"
"How the hell would I know?" I respond.
"So you don't remember him either?" He says chuckling.
"I don't remember a thing." I whisper.
"Interesting..." He murmurs before putting the document down.
"You've already read this haven't you? You were curious about what it was and then you saw his name and was curious about who he was, weren't you?"
"I read it because I wanted to know what it was." I reply coldly.
"You're brutally honest. I think I like this version of Tris better." He laughs before continuing.
"If you're so interested in him, then I'll assign you to watch over him. He's probably in agony that his little girlfriend doesn't even remember him! That's priceless..." He then gets really serious.
"However, I'll be watching you, so if I see a hint of betrayal, I'll dispose of you. Understood? The only reason I haven't killed you yet is because you're the pawn I need to manipulate Four. If not, you'd be just like his mother. Such a shame she got into that accident."
"Understand this, I'm not your pawn. If you want Four, you'll have to play by my rules. Otherwise, go find yourself someone else who can manipulate him." I bark.
"But don't you want to know more about your past? More so about Four. YOUR BOYFRIEND?" He smirks.
"My past is my past. It's not important." I say coldly. "I suggest you learn that lesson Marcus." I continue before exiting.
Four's Pov.
I'm so confused. Does Rosemary have feelings for me? Is that why she hid Tris from me? How could she do something like that? She's twisted and insane. I get out of the shower and hear a knock on my door. Who the hell could that be? I wrap a towel around my waist before heading over to the door. I open it to see Tris.
"What the hell?" I murmur.
"Here." She says, handing me a document. It's the one she stole. But why is she returning it? Before I can even say anything, she's sitting on my couch.
"Nice place you got here. And nice abs." She says smirking. I then realize that I'm not dressed.
"I'll be right back. Don't go stealing more things from me."
"I might." She says. I enter my bedroom and quickly change into the nicest casual clothes I have. Does that even make sense? I feel like a girl, dressing up for a date. I exit and Tris is still there, looking through more documents.
"I didn't steal them this time." She says.
"If you wanna know something, just ask." I say taking the documents away from her.
"What am I to you then?" She asks.
"You were...my girlfriend. But you died. At least I thought you did. I had your ashes, that the morgue gave me. I guess they weren't yours after all. But I missed you so much, Tris." I hugged her tightly, refusing to let her go.
"I'm sorry, I don't remember." She says.
"Do you remember your tattoos?" I ask.
"Yes." She replies. "I remember my tattoos and I remember my family. That's it." She continues.
"Try remembering me." I take off my shirt revealing the tattoo on my back. "Remember this?"
She places her hand on my back, taking it in. "I remember this tattoo. I remember thinking that it was the most meaningful tattoo I'd ever seen." She says slowly. I turn around and kiss her passionately.
"Remember my kisses?" I whisper in her ear. "Our first kiss was just like this, except it wasn't here." She kisses me back and then breaks away.
"I don't remember that kiss..." She says quietly. I pull her in for a hug but she breaks away.
"I gotta go. I gotta do the thing with some people at the place. Yeah, well... I'm going now, bye." She quickly exits my apartment leaving me dazed. Did she remember something after all?
Tris's Pov.
What the hell was that? I remember his touch, his warmth, his kisses, his tattoos, his brilliance...I remember every aspect about him but not the memories we shared. I know what he's like as a person, but I don't know what we did together. What the hell? I'm so confused. There's butterflies in my stomach that I can't control and I can't breathe and I need to escape from all this. I race into the park hoping Four isn't following me. It takes me a while to realize that he's not. I sit on a bench and try to calm my racing heart. But I can't. Why can't I remember him? I remember my family but I can't remember anything else. I think I'm in love with him...but I don't even know what he was to me in the past! I can't keep thinking about this, I'll never remember the past so I gotta let it go. I'm not in love with him, I was just attracted by the fact that his shirt was off and he had a sexy tattoo and he had gorgeous eyes and...
SNAP OUT OF IT TRIS!
I need to focus. But it's really hard. I feel like I can't think anymore. I want to just go back there and spend the whole day with him. What the hell is wrong with me?! I don't even know him! My phone buzzes and I pick it up. It's Marcus.
"I got you the apartment next to Four. I already moved all your stuff there so you can keep a closer eye on him. Learn anything new?"
"Nothing really. Everything I learned, was from what he told me."
"What the hell Tris. Did I say you could make contact with him? I only said you can talk to him IF NECESSARY."
"Well I found it necessary." I said before hanging up. I walk around some more until it gets dark and head back to the apartment complex. I then realize that I don't know what room is mine so I text Marcus and he responds saying:
You disobeyed orders...find it on your own. I left the key by the door of your room though.
I head up to Four's room because I know it's next door. I have one shot to guess if it's the one to the left or right. I head over to the door on the left look around for a key. There's no key around it so I head over to the one on the right and there's no key there either. I hear Four's door open and he's holding the key laughing.
"I heard someone was moving in, so I decided, why not fuck with them?" He then realizes that it's me and not some random person he's never met.
"Can I have my key back now?" I say awkwardly. His smile fades.
"Oh...uh...yeah." He replies.
"Um...which door did you get the key from?" I ask.
"The one on the left." He says quietly.
"Thanks." I say awkwardly as he closes his door. I open the door to my apartment and see all my stuff is inside. I crash on the couch exhausted. The last thing I wanted was to see Four. And now he knows I live next door to him?! This day cannot get worse. Then I here the doorbell ring and I open it to see Marcus.
"Guess who's got them self a roommate?" He laughs.
MAGIC WIZARD'S CORNER
Hey guys... *gets cut off*
Readers: Fuck you! You haven't updated in forever. We're done with you!
Me: But- baby panda? ^.^
Readers: Okay...we'll sort of forgive you...
Me: YAY! :D
Anyway, I am so sorry! I haven't really had time to update and I did want to make this the longest chapter I have ever written for a fanfic (which means it'd have to be 4,000 words) but I couldn't. So I will probably make either the next chapter or the chapter after that 4,000 words long. But hooray for Tris/Four awkwardness right?!
And eww Marcus, why are you living with Tris now?
Marcus: To fuck with Tobias.
Tris: Who's Tobias.
Marcus: You are so lucky you're a pawn right now cause you are so useless otherwise!
Tris: ...fuck you.
Four: What the hell? Why is Marcus here?
Me: So he can fuck with you...all night long xD
Marcus: Shut up Magic Wizard or I will end you!
Me: Sure you will.
Four: I'm disturbed.
Me: Tell me about it...I didn't know you're dad was a creepo.
Marcus: I'm warning you...
Me: Go eat a pineapple!
Marcus: ok... -.-
The End
Anyway, leave a comment letting me know what you think about this chapter and what you think about Marcus being a huge creepo.
