Jeez I couldn't have made a shorter chapter?! Don't know what I was thinking when I wrote this! I think I was going to a disco that night so I wasn't very well focused? Sorry anyways!
Nasti's POV
"Won't return?" I ask. "You have a choice to go or not, I can't force you, but we're going to have to fake your death too." "How many are going?" Elin asks. "I have secured us ten places" Amar replies. Ten? "I'm in" Jana speaks up as she crosses over to Amar. "My brother will have killed me sooner or later" she mutters. "I'm with Jana" the attractive boy says. "This is a big decision Ben, are you sure?" "Positive" he replies. Amar turns to me next "Nasti?" "No" I say coldly.
"Nasti" he repeats. "I'm not leaving my parents childless" I reply. "Actually you're an exception, your mother works for the outside, your father doesn't know this though." I pause and everyone stares at me "What?" I say, astounded. "Your mother will make the journey with us actually, she has information to deliver." Why did my mother never tell me this? Does she think I'm not trustworthy? The boy, Ben, seems to know what I'm thinking "She wants to protect you". I had never thought of this. "Well, I'm in then." "I must inform you that there is a low risk that we will be caught, but it could happen, so we must be careful." "Yeah, I said I'm in" I mutter.
"I'm in too, under one condition" Elin says. "What's that?" Jana asks. "Melly and Steffi can come too" she says. Amar nods "I don't see why not" he replies "So your in?" I ask. "You also said no parents could come, what about siblings?" she asks again. "Why would you bring your siblings?" Jana asks. Elin clearly has expected this question, "Actually, I'm an only child, but Melly has a brother and Steffi has a sister, they should be allowed to come with us." I realize that this is a lot to ask for "No" Amar whispers. "Yes" I reply "Or I'm not going" "Amar you have to" Jana points out. "Fine" he mutters.
"That leaves one space" Ben realizes. Obviously my mother has a space there "That can be for Andromache" Jana says. "Who?" Jana asks. "Her 'boyfriend'" Elin mutters. "I'm sorry Nasti but that's a no, that space has been saved for a dauntless born girl" Amar says boredly. "No it's okay, the dauntless initiate can use the space" I say. I let out an awkward sigh, I really don't want to start a new life with this boy. "No this girl has to go, she's at risk too." "Who?" Ben and Jana ask. "I don't know if you know her, she's an initiate named Erica."
By the way do you guys remember Erica? Read back to Jana's introduction chapter!
