*I do not own Divergent
"The rules are whoever can eat the gross thing the wins. We will go until one group is left." .Lynn tells us.
All of us sit at the Pedrad dinner table.
Tobias and I sit next to each other holding hands under the table.
Lynn comes out from the kitchen carrying glasses with green liquid in it.
"To start simply enjoy your pickle juice."
I look at Tobias and he shrugs. We both drink the glass of salty liquid.
Christina shivers after drinking it. She won't win this challenge. My competition is Uri and Zeke.
"You both do realize Tris is very competitive?" Tobias tells Uri and Zeke. As if he knew what I was thinking.
"But she is going down!" Uriah exclaims.
"No chance Uricakes! You and your weak ass brother will be the ones going down!"
"Game on Prior!" Zeke grits. While Tobias smirks at me and I repeat the action. He mouths to me
You ready?
I mouth back to him.
Let's kick some ass.
"Next item is anchovies."
"How the hell did you get anchovies?"
"We did some shopping before you came. Otherwise we wouldn't have much."
I look at the silver fish in front of me. I just stab my fork in it and slice it in two. I swallow both without chewing. Avoiding some of the taste.
"Blechh I could go without eating those again." Tobias does the same as me and he nods. While the two idiots across from me chew. By the looks on their faces it's not good anchovies.
"That's nasty!" Uri squeals. Both their girlfriends do the same as Tobias and I. So they don't freak as much as Uriah.
"Will I give up. If this is stage two I don't want to continue. I know Tris will beat me, so why eat this if I will loose either way."
"Your absolutely right. Zeke, Uriah have fun with them." He points at both of us.
"Round three coming your way!" Lynn comes out holding small bowls.
"Eat a chocolate covered grasshopper." I just eat the grasshopper quickly.
"Grandpa Prior used to put this on his cake. What do you got Pedrad?" Zeke and Shauna each take their insect. Uriah eats his and Marlene sits still.
"Shauna have fun with your boyfriend. I'm drawing the line with mine. My bug head is staring at me. I just can't do it." She shoves her plate away and Uriah pouts.
"I will get you!" He whines.
"Final Round! Because if both of you eat this I will be completely disgusted in you." Lynn hands us each a plate. In her hands looks like a ketchup bottle.
"Enjoy this Squeez Bacon! Or puke your guts out in the bathroom." Lynn then squeezes the bottle. Out comes the bacon item we are suppose to eat.
I am at cross roads here. Eat and never have real bacon again. Or let Zeke win.
"I forfeit! I want to be able to enjoy bacon after today!" Tobias gives me a look of gratitude. He was thinking the same thing.
"I win!"
"You mean we win, Zeke."
"Yes we win!" He kisses her cheek and she kisses his.
"Before you start making out let's move to our next battle." Lynn motions for us to come to the living room. In the middle of the floor sits a large garbage bag.
"Inside the bag is various costumes. You get to chose what your partner wears. Then I will choose which male is wearing the best costume."
"So only the guys get costumes?" I ask.
"Yep. So hope your ladies are nice boys, I believe their is a cheer leader costume." Four looks at me with pleading eyes.
"Ready...Set...GO GET YOUR COSTUME!" Lynn shouts and I run.
"FOR URIAH!" Marlene shouts and shoves all of us. She runs upstairs with the bag.
Shauna and Christina run after her. I am a bit delayed from being shoved.
"BETTER WATCH OUT BITCHS! MY MODEL WILL KICK ASS!" I run up the stairs to see the bag contents on the floor.
Clown wig
No
Twister circles
Eww
Gorilla
Stupid
Arrows
Yes! Robin Hood!
Rummaging through I find a green hoodie and dark pants. Then I have arrows, gloves, belt, and bow.
"Four! Ready for you!" I yell downstairs. He comes up the stairs and sees no obnoxious costumes in my hands. Then sighs in relief.
"Wow. You have no faith in me do you."
"I was afraid your competitiveness and humor would take over." I shake my head.
"Just put this on please."
After a couple minutes he comes back. I pull up the hood and give him the bow. Then add his arrows.
Instead of his kind and tender face around me, he's stern and fierce. He's Four not Tobias.
I walk down the stairs and see the girls waiting for me. I join them on the couch and Lynn whistles for the men to model.
Will comes out dressed as a nerd.
"I asked for a costume. Not you Will." He rolls his eyes and we laugh.
Then Zeke comes down. Lettuce, meat, cheese, shell, and all.
"I'm a Taco!" He yells prancing in his Taco suit.
"Next!" Lynn screams and Tobias comes.
He skips walking and just jumps down all the steps. Then shoots Zeke, the Taco, and replaces his arrow.
"OWW! THAT HURT!" He shouts pulling off the suction cup arrow.
"Extra points for hurting Zeke!" Then we see the most hilarious thing.
Uriah trots over to us in only a large diaper and bonnet. He holds a large rattle and sucks on a pacifier. The large safety pin in the diaper flashes.
Now I am crying and so is everyone else. Lynn somehow manages to speak during her laughter.
"Uriah and Marlene win!" Then Uriah smacks Zeke with his rattle.
"WHAT IS IT HURT ZEKE DAY!" He screams as we slowly regain composure.
The men change into normal clothes and meet us out on the lawn.
"So this challenge is a scavenger hunt. I have sent out a text to one of you. It tells you your location of your first item. You have to take picture of the items I text you."
"First one to send me all the pictures and be back here wins this round." She tells us.
"We have three cars here and I get one. So does Uriah and Will. Tris you get your golf cart." Shit head named Zeke says.
"Good idea Zeke then the playing level will be equal." I smirk.
"Go!" Lynn catches everyone off guard. I just run to the cart. While the others hurry to get keys.
"I'll drive." Tobias tells me.
"No, you haven't seen me when I don't drive carefully."
"I'm scared now." He grins sliding in next to me.
"You should be!" I press on the gas and pull out.
"The text says we have to go to the old diner." I turn to the right suddenly and drive to the diner. Then I make a left and slow down by the diner.
"Take the picture!" He snaps a shot and sends it. Then his phone dings and he reads it.
"Railroad tracks. Those are on the other side of town."
"Shhh their are some by the library. You known by the old rail cars kids play on." I turn and head towards the library and he chuckles.
"You are some girl Tris Prior."
"Same goes for you Tobias Eaton." Then he takes one of my hands and interlocks it with his. I look over at him and grin. Then I pull into the library and he snaps the picture.
But his phone dings before he sends it. Someone is ahead of us!
"To Park! Lynn's there and she says that we have to take a picture of a animal on the way." I reach down under my seat and pull out a cylinder. Then I stick it on my roof and turn it on. It flashes and screams a siren.
"How the Hell do you have that Tris?" He chuckles
"I have my ways!" I grin and squeeze his hand.
Driving to the park Tobias speaks.
"I thought I had lost you. That you were going to leave for good. Not come back for even our date."
"I would never do that and you know it."
"Tris I thought you would have no choice." His hand goes loose. But I grab it tighter and hold on.
"I will always have a choice. And it will be you." I quickly pecks his cheek and slows down by a steakhouse.
"She didn't say if it had to be alive and this is on the way." He snaps it and I speed to the park. Uriah slowly pulls up the street. He speeds up seeing me.
I takes no hesitation and stomp on the gas.
"What the hell Tris?" Lynn yells at me when I park. I turn off the siren and stuff it under the seat again. I will have to take this cart back before Mac notices.
"Beat that Uriah I won!" I scream! Then Lynn interrupts me.
"You both tied actually. Tris you got a picture of a place with animals not the animal itself. And Uriah you were too slow, also I heard from Will that you delayed his car." Then Zeke pulls in with Wills car too.
"So who won?" Shauna asks getting out.
"Both they tied. We need a tie breaker."
Then Zeke grins madly and suggests his idea.
"Whoever can get in The House on The Hill wins. One team member has to get inside and take a picture of them inside." This will be great! Only if Zeke knew.
"You ready to lose Prior?" Uriah asks me.
"Uriah dear I believe that will be you."
"I don't care who wins. I just can't wait till you get caught up there. That house is haunted I hear!" Then he wiggles his fingers at us and Uriah gives a questioning look.
"How is it haunted?"
"Well brother you see the house is haunted by a woman and her daughter. She died of a very tragic incident, and haunted the house. It's told her daughter couldn't handle it so she hung herself. Then the father and son moved out. Ever since it has been told that the richest house was the most haunted. And it's the House On The Hill." So the part about my moms true. Except the ghost part and I didn't hang myself. But Uriah looks disturbed from this.
"So go ahead and plan your idea Uriah. I will give you a head start." I rest against the cart and watch Uriah discuss with Marlene on sneaking in.
"Why aren't you doing anything?" Christina whispers to me.
"I don't need to. I have it all planned out." Yeah plan is to open the door with my key.
Uriah then starts to run up the hill and he hides behind trees. Acting like a ninja and thinking he's stealthy.
I just walk straight up the hill and to the driveway.
By now the sun has gone down so we are in pitch black. The only light comes from the moon.
I look up from my door to see Uriah on the roof. He looks like he plans on going towards the ledge and opening the window. He slowly creeps towards the green room window and I confirm my suspicions.
I unlock my door and walk upstairs. Turning on FaceTime I shush the others and then plug it into the surveillance cameras. Now they have a whole look on the house. Each room in a box on their screen.
Waiting in the hallway I hear him slide open the window. He's lucky I turned off the alarm system.
Once inside he closes the window. I hear his keys jiggle when he reaches into his pocket.
Then I slightly punch the door open. It creaks as it gently opens. "Errrrrreeeeeeek!"
"Hello?" He asks and then walks into the hallway. By now I am in another room and I sneak between rooms. Only I know that most of these rooms have secret passages. Closets connect in the bedrooms.
I slam the door behind Uriah shut and he jumps. "BANG!"
"Okay ha ha very funny. Tris come out of there and let's go."
Now I am in the blue room. Which is right across from the green. As his back is turned I slam this door closed. "BANG!"
Uriah screams and jumps. "Tris please open the door!"
I slam my parents door closed. "BANG!"
Uriah swiftly turns to were I closed the door. His eyes are as wide as saucers.
"Who ever you are I am leaving I mean no harm!" He turns towards the stairs.
I sneak out of the fake closet and come towards his ear. I whisper dark and airy into his ear.
"Who says you're the one who means harm."
Uriah screams and runs down the stairs. Running behind the kitchen island.
I hear him jiggle with his phone while I grab the rope from the previous 'Night Bus'.Then a hanger from clothes. Will this prank be too mean?
"Marlene the house is haunted! I don't know if I will make it! Please never come back! I love you!"
"No I swear I'm not lying! Tell Zeke he isn't in my will and neither is Tris. I love you all!" He hangs up.
Nope! I take back even thinking this was mean. He deserves it now!
Uriah slowly crawls towards the door. He makes it just about to door when I jump.
I learned a trick for halloween once. A way to make it look like you hanged yourself but you actually are hooked up with a hanger.
From the front it looks real while in back you can tell its fake.
So here I am now hanging from the upper stair ledge. Looking and acting dead.
Uriah screams a blood curdling scream and is crying. He is breaking down into absolute fear. Pale white, shaking, breathing heavily, and wide eyed.
Uriah runs out the door still screaming. While I start to laugh my ass off.
Unhooking myself I see my friends outside laughing at Uriah. While Uriah is still scared.
"TRIS IS DEAD FOUR! WE NEED TO LEAVE THAT HOUSE IS HAUNTED! DID YOU HEAR ME SHE IS DEAD!?" They just laugh harder at him and I walk out of the house.
"Look who's the Pansycake now!" I say and Uriah turns to me. His mouth drops.
"How? What? How are you? But... your dead? Am I dead?" By now Zeke is on the floor crying.
"I told you you wouldn't be the one doing any harm." I laugh and he now looks pissed, stunned, in awe, and confused.
"How the hell?"
"Shh young grasshopper. In time you shall learn my ways. A master can only teach so much." I say causing Zeke to continue to cry.
"How did you do that Tris?" Christina asks whipping her tears away.
"Skill and patience."
"Skill and patience, please. They can't get my stomach to hurt from laughing."
"How did you Tris? It seemed like you knew the house. Where the plug in was and what room was which." Will hasn't even figured it out? Geeez
"You were in one room and then the next? Are you magic?" Uriah asks me.
"No I just know the house really well."
"How?" They all ask me. By now Zeke has stopped laughing and is staring at me.
"Your story is only partially true. Except the haunting part and me hanging myself."
They all look at me in shock.
"This was your house. It was your family who lived here."
"Yes my family lived here, but it was not my house." They look at me utterly confused.
"It is my house. I told you I was moving, and I'm moving back home."
*Sorry for delay. As you know school work and I also have other things. My friends and family come first sometimes. Also I do photography so I am usually at all the games taking pictures.
Now I did not proof read this I felt bad enough for being this late. So I hope it's decent, because so far this story has not been. Re reading my work here I realize part of me has lost interest in the story. It's because it's my first fanfic. So I did not plan as well and I feel terrible about it. Part of this story is a reminder that I failed the first time. While that also helps me only do better. But I do apologize for not putting all my effort and skill into this story.
Thankyou for Reading! I just feel I have been terrible to all of you!
