She slammed the door behind her and leaned against a wall, letting the cool afternoon air hit her face as she let the tears fall silently. She rested her hands on her knees and tried to focus on taking deep breaths. She looked up to see Four walking towards her, she rolled her eyes before asking "Oh did you want to get your hits in too? Call me a slut or tease? Or no, you can start playing your 'How Do I know you' mind games. Yeah is that what you want?" She was surprised when he wrapped his arms around her and held her there, softly rubbing her back. "I'm not going to do any of that Sky." She looked at him confused, "Why not? Aren't you mad? Because I didn't stay last night? Or because of what happened last night?" He laughed and wiped her tears from her face, "I'm not mad. Hurt? A little. Confused? Very. But right now I'm focusing on comforting you, because I can't stand to see my favorite person cry." He held her closer and continued rubbing her back until her crying subsided. She sniffed and wiped her nose before speaking, "I'm sorry I didn't stay last night… I thought it'd be too awkward when we woke up…" He shook his head slowly, "More awkward than it already was?" She laughed and nodded, "Yeah you're right…I'm sorry… I was scared you'd wake up and either not remember at all or you would remember and be mad about what happened.."
He slid his finger along her cheekbone, "Why would I be mad about last night?" She shrugged her shoulders looking down and said "I don't know. You were drunk. I don't think you would've kissed me if you were sober…would you?" He tilted her jaw up so she was looking at him, "Well… I'm not drunk now." And with that he kissed her softly before pulling back saying, "And watching that Al guy kiss you, I wanted to kick his ass." She touched his lips before asking, "Oh really? And why was that? It's not like I'm yours…yet." He laughed as he leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Sky, you've been mine since you were five years old."
She gasped and pushed him back, her face a mixture of awe and shock. "What did you just say?" He nodded slowly, touching her pendant as he waited for her to put it all together, a few minutes later tears welled up in her eyes. "Tobias?" When he nodded, she threw herself into his arms crying. "I never thought I'd see you again! Tobias I've missed you so much!" She wrapped her legs around his waist as she cried into his neck before looking at him and playfully hitting his shoulder. "You knew this whole time and you didn't tell me?!" He put her down and shrugged, "I wanted to see how long it would take for you to realize it was me….I didn't think I'd changed so much." She hugged him and continued to cry into his chest, "I'm so stupid! I can't believe I didn't realize!" He laughed until Eric walked out, "everything okay out here?" Four stiffened and replied tersely, "Yeah Everything is fine. We'll be in in a few minutes." Eric barely nodded and walked back into the building.
Sky was shocked with his reaction towards Eric, "That was a bit cold.." He shook his head, "I heard some things about him….I didn't like them." She arched her eyebrow, thinking about what Rae said about Rumors. Four looked down shyly, "I heard he kissed you on the net at the Dauntless entrance…" Sky laughed at his jealousy, neither confirming nor denying what he said. "Well, I think it's time for us to go back in." He noticed her changing the subject and pulled her back, "We will in just a minute, but first can you tell me if it is true or not?"
Sky played dumb "Hmm? What?" He narrowed his eyes at her, "Sky…" She always hated when he said her name like that. "It's true isn't it?" he asked, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
She slowly nodded in response, "Yes…but it was only for a few minutes before I pushed him away." Tobias seemed to have brightened up at the thought of her rejecting Eric. "Please don't be mad Tobias." He smiled at his old name, "I like hearing my old name from you. It's been awhile since I've been called that." He grabbed her hand and led her towards the door, "Come on, time to get back to training, I'll kick Eric's ass later."
They walked back into the training room and all eyes were on them, noticing that Sky was a lot happier now. Eric narrowed his eyes at Four when Sky went back to practicing her knife throwing. Eric arched an eyebrow at Four, "She's the one you talked about in our initiation isn't she?" Four smiled and nodded, "You already knew she was." Eric laughed quietly, "I did. And that's why I kissed her." Four clenched his fist as Eric turned to walk away, "We'll deal with that soon Eric, don't worry." At this Eric stood nose to nose with Four, "Is that a threat, Tobias?" Four glared at Eric before responding "It's a promise." It took a few minutes for them to realize all the initiates had stopped practicing and were watching them.
Eric turned to them and cruelly shouted, "Get out of here! Go to lunch!"
Everyone sat in their normal spots at lunch, however they were all either silent or whispering about what just happened with Eric and Four. Sky felt the awkwardness and tension so she barely ate, and stood up to leave the table early. Rae grabbed her arm and pulled her back down, "I'm sorry for what I said earlier…I shouldn't have been such a bitch about the kissing thing." Sky smiled and gave her a hug, "It's ok, best friends fight." After that, Al loudly coughed the word 'slut' and left the table. I don't think that friendship will ever be repaired… The thought made her sad, but she realized how hungry she was now that her and Rae are ok again so she started shoveling food onto her plate.
When they walked back into the training room, they saw vests and what looked like pistols set out on the tables. However Eric and Four were nowhere to be found, instead the Dauntless-born trainer Lauren was there, with Zeke. "Hey guys, today we will be playing our war game! It's like capture the flag only better!" Everybody started cheering when Lauren said this, "Each of you will get a vest and a gun. The guns are not real, but when shot the victim is injected with a serum that simulates the feeling of really being shot." Sky raised her hand and asked, "Where are Four and Eric?" Lauren shrugged and responded, "There was a situation with the factionless, so they went to take care of that. Anyways, we will begin splitting everyone into teams ok?"
After splitting into teams and jumping on the train, Sky eavesdropped on Zeke and Lauren's conversation. "I hope they're ok," said Zeke. "Me too," Lauren agreed, "They've been gone awhile and it's weird they haven't checked in…."
Sky walked over to Rae and told her what she heard after they arrived at the amusement park. "Do you think they're ok?" asked Rae. Sky shrugged, "I don't know…but I want to find out." Rae rolled her eyes, "How are we supposed to do that? We don't even know where they're at?" Sky sighed and looked around at their team as they tried to make a plan to beat Lauren's team. She noticed a Ferris wheel ladder and began to climb. "Sky! What the hell are you doing?" Rae whisper-shouted. "I'm going to get a better vantage point and see if I can find them! Wait here!" Sky tried to climb fast but it was a little windy and the ladder wasn't as sturdy as she thought it was. When she got up to the top she looked around the city, squinting. She saw movement in the alley by Abnegation that a lot of factionless like to spend time in. "That's where they are!" When she got back on the ground she noticed their whole team was gone. "They didn't notice we left and kind of just went off to capture the flag." Sky shrugged, "Oh well, I think I know where Eric and Four are…wanna go snoop?" Rae looked apprehensive, "You're going to get us both kicked out of Dauntless!" But she followed Sky anyways.
They ran for a while before climbing onto a roof across from where a few factionless seemed to be guarding a door. They could see Four and Eric through the window and their weapons on a table in the back of the room" "Oh my god," gasped Rae. "They're captured!" Just as she said that she overheard a factionless, "So what the hell should we do with them? They're dauntless!" He seemed to be arguing with someone. "Well if we cut them loose, they'll kill us. I think our only option is to kill them and hide their bodies by the fence!" Sky and Rae looked at each other in shock, "We can't let them kill Four and Eric" whispered Sky. Rae shook her head, "But how? What are we supposed to do?" Sky took a few moments to think, "Give me your gun, I'll stay here and rescue them. You go get help, tell Dauntless what's going on!" Rae looked like she was about to cry, "Sky I can't just leave you here!" Sky shook Rae's shoulders, "Go! I'll try to rescue the guys, but I NEED you to go get help." Rae didn't look too sure, but she ran for help anyways.
