Katherine's POV
"Where have you been, soldier?" I ask Tasi as she walks back over, Alexander trailing behind her.
"Scouting." She replies, her grin suggesting that's not the case.
"Don't you mean making out with your manfriend?" I tease. "Shut up, Kitty Kat." She hisses.
"We found their flag. I have a plan, if anyone wants to listen." Tasi adds.
"Go on." Parker says.
"Ok, so we split up into two groups, the attackers and the voyagers. Those two groups go and voyagers find the flag while attackers cover them. Everyone sticks together, got it?" Tasi asks.
We nod and split up. I'm a voyager with Parker, Tasi and Alexander.
"Shh." I say and check the alleyway. "Good." I say and sneak into the alley.
Then someone rolls out into the alley and shoots Parker in both legs. I shoot the person and they limp away. Parker groans and pulls the bullets out. They only have as much pain as a paintball bullet, but still very painful.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Parker keeps saying. "No, you're not. Tasi, Alexander, go on. We'll stay here." I order. They go on quickly, leaving Parker and I alone.
I grab my water bottle and rip a piece of fabric from my jacket. I wet the fabric and press it on one of his wounds.
"Ow," He winces. I smile. "Sorry. Don't have much experience with health stuff." I say.
"It's fine. Those stupid bullets hurt anyway. I can't believe you got that guy. He was moving around like a madman and you got a clean shot." Parker says.
I blush at the ground. "Wasn't that good." I mumble.
"No, it was good. Great." He says. I look up shyly and our eyes lock. We gaze at each other for a minute.
"Aren't you something else," Parker says.
I blush harder. He brushes a strand of mahogany hair from my face.
I nearly explode.
Anastasia's POV
"This building." I tell Alexander.
"Start climbing." He tells me.
I find a good starting spot and begin to climb. The building is about 50 feet high. I've done Willis before, so this is easy.
I get to the top and see Cera Hunt's sister guarding.
She sees me and tries to shoot me, but she's out of bullets. I have five left. I end up burying one in her sternum area. I snatch the flag and wave it so everyone can see.
"Woooo!" I hear Kat scream.
I can just make out Parker pumping his fist in the moonlight.

"Hey, Tasi!" Someone calls to me. I turn and see a Dauntless born who I barely know.
"Hi!" I say.
"Come with us." He says. I follow him uncertainly.
"Where you going?" Jason asks. I shrug and give a small wave.
A group of really popular Dauntless-born lead me to a huge tower. We learned about it in school. It's called the John Hancock Building. Mom mentioned something about this building and ziplining.
"Ziplining?" I ask.
A boy looks at me, surprised. "How'd you know?"
"Wild guess." I say vaguely and grin smally. He smirks and shoots a wink.
We get on the old, rickety elevator and ride it to the top floor. I cough and pull a few cobwebs off myself before I suddenly see the beauty of the city Chicago.
A huge silvery moon with clouds curled around it like a blanket curls around a baby. The sacred purple night. Long abandoned buildings, once busy and now ghosts.
"Beautiful." I gasp.
A zipline is waiting at the end of a cable. I follow the cable with my eyes and it disappears before I can find the end, an everlasting cable in a large ghost town.
"Alright, line 'er up!" Someone shouts. We line up and I'm third. I'm excited but also terrified at the same time. This building has 100 stories. Each story has 10 feet to it... 100 times 10 is 1,000, but then there's the taller and shorter things. My estimate is around 1,120 meters.
Somebody is hooked up and is pushed down the cable. They let out a crow of joy and disappear behind a large building.
I shiver happily. I'm after the next girl, a redhead with green eyes.
She screams the entire way. I'm really excited! This thing will officially make me a Dauntless.
"Alright newbie, you're up." A boy with a hooked nose snarls.
I step up and he hooks me up. "Don't forget to pull the brake at the bottom." He reminds me and gestures to a metal chain. I nod and he smiles nastily.
"Enjoy," He says and pushes me off.
It's amazing. I feel as if I'm floating. Flying is a better term. Sailing past broken down buildings, weaving in and out of skyscrapers. The marsh emits a sweet earthy aroma that's delicious to the nose. My hair is flying back behind me creating a golden halo.
I let out a loud laugh and scream with joy. A huge building flies past me and I'm jostled by the wind. I try to pull my hand forward, but it's just tossed back by the wind. I lean back against the harness and close my eyes. The wind is squealing in my ears. I squeal along with it, matching its high pitch.
I open my eyes after about a minute and just barely make out a group of people waiting in a graffiti-ridden area.
"Pull the brake!" They scream. My hand fumbles for the metal chain and when I have it, I yank on it hard. It skids to a stop in the area and a pair of arms catch me. I laugh and they unhook me.
My feet touch the ground and although my adventure was thrilling, I'm glad to be touching solid ground.
I laugh more and run a hand through my hair. I still feel the airy spools of wind in my hair.

Hope you enjoyed! LOVE YOU GUYS!
