Chapter 17- The noise in the night.

Tris POV

It has been exactly 48 hours since our ghastly humiliating game of Candor or Dauntless. Over the past two days, Tobias and I have tried numerous times to escape from our friends. We aren't trying to ignore them but we are still embarrassed and whenever we are around them, awkward tension is suffocating all of us tremendously. Currently I am sitting in my apartment with Tobias, watching a romantic drama series that years ago Erudite made. Despite my slight hatred towards Erudite I must say it is quite good. My hand glides over the fluffy warm blanket, pulling the thick material around Tobias and me closer. Tobias' hands lay around my shoulders making me snuggle into his side closer. Tobias hand reaches out to grab the popcorn bowl and we place it carefully in between us so we don't have to hold it. I dig into the popcorn every once in a while eating absentmindedly almost like it's going to be the last meal I have.

The show carries on for a few hours, time slips away as the speakers softly blare out the sound engulfing our ears and the colours bedazzle us on the TV. The bright colour from the TV ignites up the dimly lit room. Soon, my eyes drift close and I remain snuggled up in Tobias arms until I feel him pick me up gently and place me on a soft mattress- assumably my bed. Absentmindedly I toss and turn in the bed my eyes closed shut until I feel Tobias strong arm wrapping around me, securing me.

The thunderous, deafening, rapid knocks on the door in the middle of the night wakes me.

I am up, alert before any senses come to me. So is Tobias. My brain is fuzzy for jolting up so quickly. Tobias and I both stare at each other intensely until we both on an unspoken agreement decide to get dress and sprint towards our door where the knocking came from. Appropriate clothing on, Tobias rushes towards the door. The door swings open revealing a frustrated looking Zeke with sweat dripping down his forehead.

'What's happened?' Tobias asks his 'Four mask' on.

'A girl... she has been attacked.' Zeke replies concern thick in his voice. Tobias quickly grabs his shoes and so do I. We sprint outside and investigate. The cold wind from running down the dark corridor makes a shiver go down my spine.

'Who is she? How did it happen? How do you know?' Tobias asks.

'I am not sure, a girl in her twenties, I didn't see it but I heard her high pitched scream since I was walking back from the control room.'

'This late in the night?' I ask.

'Yeah, I had a lot on my mind,' Zeke replies somewhat casually. Tobias and I exchange a glance. 'I have a feeling this attack is connected to Max's death,' Zeke says. My mind is racing a mile a minute, wondering who on earth screamed. My mind involuntarily wonders back towards when Max was shot, my heart beat was racing then and it is still now. The colour drains from my face. I glance down at my watch, it reads: 1:34 am. Tobias, Zeke and I sprint towards the Pit where we think Zeke heard the glass shattering scream. Soon, members of Dauntless of all ages are rushing to the Pit.

Just like last time.

Last time a leader was killed.

That was only a week ago.

Tobias, Zeke and I walk closer towards the Pit where most people are heading. What I see in my path makes me gasp.

A skinny, pale, small framed girl in her twenties lies now in an ambulance stretcher. Her shirt ripped and full of blood dangles around her telling me this was no accident. Her most likely beautiful young face had scratches and is covered in blood and her neck has deep knife cuts, her dark blond hair is fuzzy and out of place. Her eyes are bloodshot and rolled out of place. She seems in a sort of trance. Tobias and I take a step back while everyone closely observantly stares as she is taking away to the infirmary.

She is alive, and that's the good thing. A week ago in the morning Max was shot. Today exactly a week later, a small pale girl is attacked in the hours of the early morning. There must be a reason for both the attacks. And I am going to be the one who finds out.

Fatigue sweeps over me as I realize I haven't had much sleep.

It is currently 1:30 pm in the afternoon on Monday. 12 hours has passed since the small girl was attack. Now the girl-Jane- is lying in a hospital bed resting. Her injuries are not too severe which means she will survive. Much of the Dauntless council board have been looking into her attack including me.

'Do you have Jane's profile, Louise?' I ask in the best strong voice I can muster to my boss, Louise. Every Dauntless member even switched ones have a profile. Although only a certain amount of people are a loud to wonder through them. It is strictly forbidden to rummage through your own profile without a reason. Louise's dark black hair is tucked away in a ponytail, showing a few bright blue strands. Louise's olive skin colour makes her bright green eyes shine. There are many piercings on her ears but none evident on her face. Her clothes are tight and black like any Dauntless and her tattoos creep out of her top.

'Yes,' Louise replies. She hands me a rather thin file in a plastic cover while I leave her office to go to my much smaller one. My eyes aimlessly wonder through the few pages before I sit down in a leather chair in my office. My office is rather dark and it is not personalized. Overall, the room is much smaller than Louise' office since I am a new Ambassador as well as very young.

I skim through the pages thoroughly reading through every line twice so I can understand and investigate fully. Her name is Jane Jackson. Age 25 and shop keeper at the Boutique. Jane's previous occupation was a Tattoo Artist where she worked with Tori Wu. The reason why she left her job as a Tattoo Artist was for some reason. Jane had stated that she thought she wasn't good enough to be an artist. Jane Jackson's partner is Matthew Jackson and they have been married for five years with a four year old son. She sounds…. Normal. My eyes continue to read through every word twice, taking information for example: her faction of origin is Dauntless and her transferred faction is off course Dauntless. I can't help but think Jeanine Matthews has something to do with this, but then again why would you hurt someone so innocent looking?

One thing is for certain, I am going to find out who my attacker, Max's attacker and Jane Jackson's attacker is.

No matter how long it takes.

A/N I apologise in advance for how short this chapter is. However, I have recently rewritten Chapter One of this story because in all honestly it was terrible! Please, please, please, reread it, it's much better than the original. I will most likely rewrite the first couple of chapters soon.

I really do not know if this story is becoming boring and I have a feeling it is, please if you have any suggestions, advice or anything please PM or review! Do you all like how it is detailed, or is it getting uninteresting? Thank you for reading.
