Chapter 14
Tris POV
Everyone stops talking when Max, Tobia and I get into the hall. We go and sit down with Zeke and the gang.
"Now everyone listen up." Shouts Max into the silence. "We have discovered a traitor in Dauntless. We all know Eric one of our leaders was an Erudite transfer from 3 years ago. He has been found a traitor and has been made factionless. However this leaves us with only 4 leaders. Welcome our new leader… FOUR!" he shouts the last bit and I look at him and give him the biggest hug. The next thing I know is Uriah shouting "BUNDLE!" and me and Tobias being squished by all of our friends. "I am not finished yet." Shouts Max over the roaring that erupts after Four is announced a leader. "Four has got something to say." He nods at Four and he begins to talk.
"Well, I have believed for the last 3 years that it is very unfair that the initiates get cut if they aren't strong enough so my first act as a leader is to go back to the methods of training where everyone gets to become Dauntless." Cheering is all I can hear. Then all of a sudden Christina, Zeke, Will, Tobias, Uriah, Zeke and I are lifted up ontop of the crowds. Me and Tobias are kept together up there and then I see the initiates and I cheer for them. They are now all guarrunteed a place in dauntless. And they cheer back at me. When I get down from the crowds we go and see them.
"Thank you Four. Thanks Tris, Christina and Uriah."
"What did we do? This was all Four's idea. I only just found out that my boyfriend is now officially a leader of the dauntless."
"Well, Four, you have just saved most of our skins, Christina, has always been kind to us Uriah has just been completely ridiculous and Tris, thank you for giving us hope." Says Harmony
"Why does everyone say that I am giving them hope?"
"Don't pretend. We all know who you are. We all recognised you from the ceremony last year. You gave us hope to transfer. You made us believe that if you could transfer then we could do it too." Says Jackie.
"I… well, I guess that's a compliment especially as it is coming from a Candor transfer. So thanks, I guess. Anyway you all have 30 minutes before training starts. I would hurry up with eating. Where are Becca, Ryan, Theo and Talia?"
"We don't know." Says Harmony
"Okay. Make sure you are back in the training room by 2:00." I say and then I head off, leaving my friends, to find the others. The first place I look is in the dormitory. They aren't in there so I go back to the training room and sure enough they are in there. "There you are. Were you in the cafeteria when-" I stop talking when I see the look on Becca's face. "Becca what's? why are you crying?"
"I heard about my Mom and my Dad. They're-" she chokes on the next words "Gone." I feel a stab of pain in my chest because I knew her parents.
"Well, I know this probably isn't what you want to hear right now but Four has been made a leader of Dauntless and his first act was announced at lunch and that is every initiate is now going to become a Dauntless so that means there are going to be no cuts." They all look up and smile at me. "I will see what I can do about your siblings. Were you being honest about me giving you hope?"
"Yes. And thank you. For seeing about my siblings." With that I go and find Tobias.
"Tris, there you are. I have been looking for you."
"I was just coming to look for you. I need to ask for a favour from you and your new position as a leader."
"What is it?"
"Well, you know Becca."
"Yes I know her parents and her 3 siblings. What of her?"
"Well her parents have just. Died."
"So where does that leave the siblings?"
"Exactly. We have three options. Option one is they become factionless, option two they go and live with my parents or option three they come and stay in Dauntless until their choosing ceremony which is next year."
"I will talk to Max about option three. We can't just leave them and let them become factionless. I'm off to find Max."
Tobias POV.
When I go to find Max I am going over what Tris just told me. Becca's parents are dead and that leaves her brother and two sisters without a home. "Max, I need to talk to you." I say when I finally find him.
"What do you need Four?"
"I need a favour."
"Go on."
"Well, one of our initiates, Becca and Abnegation born, has just lost both of her parents. We don't know how or why or anything about the death but she has three Siblings and without parents that leaves them factionless. We need them to come and stay in Dauntless until their choosing ceremony which is next year."
"So you want them to come and live in Dauntless?"
"Yes."
"Well, they can stay until the choosing ceremony next year and then they are free to choose."
"Thank you Max. Shall I go and get the siblings?"
"Yes."
"Bye Max." With that I walk out of the room and I see Tris at the end of the corridor and say to her "We need to go and get Becca, You, Becca and I won't be at training this afternoon."
"So they re coming to Dauntless?"
"Yes. Now let's go and get Becca."
Tris POV
when Four comes out of the room I look at him for any traces of what went on in there. He is smiling.
"We need to go and get Becca, You, Becca and I won't be at training this afternoon." He says
"So they re coming to Dauntless?"
"Yes. Now let's go and get Becca." He says.
I am relieved to hear this. We run off to the training room to get Becca and tell her the good news.
"Becca, we are going somewhere today. Just you, me and Four."
"What?" She says suspiciously
"Take a guess. It begins with 'A'."
"Are we going to Abnegation? To get my siblings?"
"Well, yes!" she comes and gives me a huge hug and we go and Find Chris and Uriah.
"Christina! Uriah! Where are you?" Four shouts in to the cafeteria and they make their way through the crowds. "D'you think you can manage intiation this afternoon?"
"Yeah sure but why?"
"We are going to Abnegation. It's a long story, we might tell you later… if you're good." I say and they laugh and we head off to the train tracks. "Okay, Becca, where's your house?"
"This way." She leads us to the house. "Natalie, Bella, Isaac. Come on. I know you're in here. Where are you?" when there is no response I go and check my old house.
"Mom? Are you in?"
"Yes sweetie. Was there something you wanted?"
"Well. This is Becca. You probably recognise her. Her Mom has died. Have you seen her siblings?"
"Well, yes." She says and then she turns around and speaks up the stairs "Natalie, Bella, Peter. There is someone here to see you all." They come walking down the stairs and then they see Becca and they come running down and squish her into the biggest bear hug possible.
"Mom, there is a reason we came for them."
"I know. They will be Dauntless for the next year or so until their ceremony, right?"
"Right. Do they have anything that they might want to take with them?"
"No, thank you for helping them Tris. I will come and visit next truth or dare party, make sure you give me a call to make sure I know."
"Will do Mom." "
I love you."
"I love you too, Mom."
"I love you three."
"I love you Four."
"I know you do." Chimes in Four and we all laugh. "Right Natalie, Isaac and Bella, we are going to Dauntless!" and we head off…
