Thank you bpaulus for the feed back (sorry if I got your username wrong). The third person was just something different. The last chapter was different because I have horrible writers block. I also want to give a heads up since nothing really happens in this chapter. Or at least not something that has significant importance. Not yet anyway. Quick question would you guys rather have point of view from Tris or Tobias or both?
Tobias
We arrived in front of the office about 16 minutes later. Tris was still holding my hand and I loved it. I got out first and helped her down before Caleb had the chance. Tris sent me a sad look and knew she was right. Even though before I had in a sense forgiven Caleb, but for different reasons. Honestly I was indifferent to him. Without a word I hold onto Tris as she steadies herself.
Her frame is still small and it makes me smile. She has grown I'd say an inch or two, but that's it. Once we get inside it looks like a regular office. Tris' eyes seemed to wander every where. The wall color was purple left and right while the other two were blue. My guess was she hasn't seen painted walls. That was my guess, but I wasn't completely sure. The rest of the building looked normal. Shag carpet and a secretary desk in front of us.
Tris looked at it for a while until she sat down. We sat down in complete silence. Not one of us said a word, but it suit us all. Caleb hadn't been much of a speaker and not since he saw Tris. I wondered how Tris felt about him. If assume good since she talked him a little and other stuff.
A minute later a man came out from the white door. "Hello my name is George, will Caleb Prior and Tobias Eaton come with me," he said simply. "What about Tris," I asked my hand in hers. There was no way I could leave her alone. I lost her once I will not lose her again. Tris let go of my hand and said, "Tobias it's fine really I can wait, besides there are things I don't want to revisit." I looked back at her confused. Really
I didn't know what to expect. She was just so calm and it didn't bother her at all not to go. Maybe because of something that had happened or there was something she reall didn't want to see. Who knows once Im in there I'll figure it out later though. Caleb and I walk into the mans office and sit across from him. I don't like Caleb sitting next to me, but I'll need to get over this. After all he is Tris' brother.
"Alright boys i ask you a few questions regarding Ms Prior and you answer them while I fill them out here," he paused, "I do have her birth certificate and what I need is more back ground information." He proceeded to ask Caleb about their childhood and just about her. Why this was rellevant was a mystery. However I did enjoy listening about little Tris. Even still as an abnegation child she was always different. I love it. This little girl who almost never followed the rules. She was really was a dauntless.
After about half an hour George finished his questioning about her childhood. Looks like it's time to talk about the stuff Caleb doesn't know about. George asked me how I knew Tris and I told him our story. I started when I was her instructor. Later I moved onto the whole Erudite controlling Dauntless thing and what we did. Pretty much I summed up the whole story in 15-30 minutes. He wrote everything down and then he filed the paperwork.
"Alright that went well," he said, "now Caleb you are her guardian, but you are merely a watcher. Since the age is dropping if adult hood it was decided that she does not need a guardian. However Caleb you should check on her once a week until se has healed completely. After that check in on her once a month." George paused for a moment, "as for you Mr Eaton you will be her protector and being able to keep out of harms way." I nod, but keep it simple. He hands me and Caleb some paperwork and we leave. When we stepped out of the room I couldn't believe what I saw. I saw the room empty.
Tris
Tobias and Caleb went into the while I waited for them outside. After the first half hour I was practically dying of boredom. It was funny I felt like a kid again. Abnegation kids didn't play much, so I would be bored often. However Caleb and I would play little games of our own and that seemed to be enough. I should be happy since at the place I was in for years was worse. Sometimes I would spend hours staring at the walls waiting. I was waiting for something to happen, but of course nothing did.
Although that was worse I was still bored. I decided to go outside. The light was blinding compared to the little office house. Eventually my eyes adjusted and I leaned against the wall. Looking up at the sky I started to cry. Never had the sky been so beautiful before. In any direction the sky was a light shade of blue with clouds here and there. Tears started to form in my eyes as I said, "I am finally free." It made my heart ache and I loved it. The only to make it better was for Tobias to be by my side. Minutes went by and I was still just staring at the sky.
Finally the door opened, but violently. "Tris," yelled Tobias. He wrapped his arms around me and I was taken aback. I was still in his arms as he squeezed me. My side started to hurt, but I couldn't talk. Not because he was squeezing hard, but I liked the squeeze. "Don't scare me like that," he whispered and I laughed, "Tobias I'm not going anywhere. You don't have to worry Im always here remember."
He shook his head then let go and stared into my eyes. For a minute I saw all the pain of the last three years and I sighed. "I'm so sorry Tobias," I start but he hugs me again. "No I'm just being over protective, but I just can't lose you." "You won't Tobias," I say, "you won't lose me." I squeeze him back, but harder this time. He is right about the overprotective and you could include paranoid, but wouldntn I be te same. If we switched places I would never want to lose sight of him. We an work this out somehow. For now I assure him I won't ever go which I hope is true.
I hope I never leave.
