So I may or may not have told the extura team Monday... And today may or may not be Friday... Sorry...
Steffi's POV
Melly and I had no idea where everyone had went after dinner. Nasti and Elin were gone for almost two hours. Finally as we found them they simply told us to fetch them a jacket from the compound. And here I am now, I walk anxiously towards the compound and brace myself to see an unconscious Avery. I checked on him as often as I could but I don't know if that's enough. What if he's dead when I come back to him? I kept thinking. My attack was viscous and unnecessary.
When we enter the room the sight in front of me causes me to go silent. I've never seen many kisses in my life and it looks slightly ridiculous. Melly, who appears to be unsurprised, if not bored, by it. "Are we interrupting something?" she asks. The boy and girl are dauntless borns, that's for sure. The boy has green eyes and his hair spikes at the front. His ears have a surprising resemblance to Mellys ears. The girl has blonde hair which is tied back, her eyes are bright and light up the room, she makes me jealous is an understatement. Without a doubt they are both attractive.
"You must be Melly and Steffi" he says. "And you are?" Melly asks. "I am Jana and this is, uh, Ben" the girl, Jana, says. "We were sent up here to find a jacket, but this is pretty interesting," Melly replies. "You're candor born I'm guessing", with pure hatred in his voice. "We're trying to encourage, not discourage them Ben." Jana replies. "Encourage us to do what?! And how do you know our names" I find myself asking. "I'm friends with Nasti and Amar is leading a group of us outside the fence, for some reason you two are invited," he replies. "Outside the fence?" she asks, astonished. My surprise matches hers. "Apparently there are people out there" is all Jana says, she seems slightly unconvinced. "There are already a good few going" Ben replies. "Who?" I ask. "Well, us, Amar, a dauntless born girl, Elin, Nasti and her mother" he says. "You don't tell anyone" Jana says, I have a feeling her comment is aimed towards a certain candor born rather than me. "Sure I'll go, when do we come back" Melly asks. "You don't" Ben replies. That's why we needed to be convinced.
"No" I say. "I'm not leaving my sister". "She's allowed to come as well" Ben replies. I wonder who made this deal? Who knows I have a sister? "Melly your brother can come too" Jana smiles. "What about our parents?" I ask. "Afraid not" Ben says. "What the hell?!" Melly shouts. "Shut up, or I will make you" Ben threatens her. "How come Nasti gets to bring her mother?!" "She works for them, hey don't blame us we only just found out and we're not even allowed to bring our families!" I have a feeling that they don't really care if they can bring their families or not. "I understand it all" I pause, "Except for one thing, why are we leaving?" "A few of us are being hunted" Jana says. "Who? Why?" Melly asks. "Because we have an aptitude for more than one faction, they call it divergent" she whispers. More than one faction? That seems unlikely.
"You cheat?" I ask. "No, she's just extremely rare" Ben says. I see her slightly blush. I think back to my sister, Elise, if I go missing she will probably be questioned. "I'm going, but I'm bringing my sister" I say. "Yeah I'm bringing my brother" Melly says. This feels right, they seem trustworthy. Jana sighs with relief. "The plan is that during our game of capture the flag, we hide your siblings in the amity fields while we escape, there's a low risk that we'll be caught but we will be armed. I think back to training, Elin's a good shot is all I remember. I'm not too bad either. "And if the plan fails?" Melly asks. "You could die" Jana says, "But I'm definitely doomed."
