WE'RE READING OF MICE AND MEN IN ENGLISH CLASS AND I GET REALLY SAD WHILE READING IT FOR SOME REASON! PROBABLY BECAUSE LENNIE IS SO NICE AND HE KEPT ACCIDENTALLY KILLING THOSE MICE AND HE'S JUST ONE OF THOSE CHARACTERS WHO'S DOOMED TO DIE IN THE SADDEST WAY!

ROBERTS POV

Everyone was sitting in a grave silence. Even Nick was quiet. The sun was bright. There wasn't a cloud in sight. It was a beautiful day but someone was about to die.

Cassia kept checking her watch and looking around nervously. Tris was scheduled to die at 8:00 and it was 7:58.

Madi looked like she was about to cry. I didn't blame her.

I wasn't sad. Well, I guess I was, for a while, but that sadness had slowly turned to anger.

It looked like Nick was angry, too, but then again, he was almost always angry.

Cassia let out a sigh. We all looked at the time. 8:00. Some whispering broke out around us.

"I wish that I could have done something," I said, out of the blue. Yeah, well you didn't.

"It probably would have been useless," said Nick, breaking his silence. "It would be nearly impossible to get into Erudite and get someone out without getting caught. You would need around six to ten people to carry it out."

"Wait have you been planning something?" asked Marco. "You seem to have put a lot of thought into that whole escape thing." Nick didn't say anything.

Everyone fell back into a silence.

"I should go now, I don't want to worry my sisters," said Cassia.

I nodded. "We'll walk you to the entrance," I said. All of us stood up and walked to the door and Cassia stepped out.

"Hey, Cassia," said Joy, "Be careful."

She nodded and ran.

xXx

SOOOOO I'M TRYING A NEW POV BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT COULD WORK FOR THIS PART!

CASSIA'S POV

I sat with my sisters in the safe house. I was less worried about Isobel and Stella now, because of what Nick had told me.

I felt helpless though. My brain was about to explode. It had been hours since I left Amity, the feeling that I could have at least tried to help that Divergent girl still stayed with me.

But, I was betting that everyone in the safe house felt that way, too because most of them were Abnegation.

I noticed a bunch of people were moving around. Standing up and whispering to each other.

My sisters noticed, too.

"Hey, Lyssa," my sister, Charity whispered to a girl near us. They probably had met during initiation. Lyssa turned to face us. Her face was a mask of excitement. "What's with all the whispering?"

"Didn't you hear? Beatrice escaped Erudite with Tobias Eaton!" she whispered.

"What?!" my other sister, Verity and I said in unison.

"Yeah, you heard me, she got out!" said Lyssa.

"How?" asked Verity.

"I heard that some people from Erudite helped get her out."

I jumped up. "I need to go," I said.

"What why?" asked Verity.

"I need to tell my friends in Amity! They need to know! They were all so sad!" I said, excitedly.

My sisters nodded. I got to the door of the safe house and ran to the train station. The sky was dark by now. I got there right as a train was coming.

I sprinted to an open door and pulled myself in. I breathed heavily and my cheeks were hot.

I slid down the wall and sat. That's when I noticed the man standing in the corner.

My heart thudded even louder.

Please don't talk to me.

"Hey, what's a little girl like you doing here?" He asked, taking a step closer to me.

I panicked, but tried not to show it. This guy was like one of the creepers in the Dauntless Pit in the wee hours of the morning.

I took a step towards the door. I knew that It was useless, the train was going so fast that if I jumped, my insides would be everywhere.

I subtly stepped into a fighting stance which I'd learned when I lived in Dauntless. My hands were slightly raised and my feet were apart.

How long would it take for the train to slow? Too long. Far too long.

The man took another step towards me.

I could take my chances jumping or I could fight. Fighting was my better chance. I was an Amity but this was desperate.

I eyed the man, trying to calculate his next move.

Suddenly, he lunged forward and I jumped out of the way.

Before he could regain his balance, I jabbed him in the eyes then in his solar plexus.

He let out a moan of pain and hunched over.

Before I could loose my nerve, I hit him as hard as I could in the back of the head.

He stood up and faced me, looking a bit dizzy, but my element of surprise was gone.

I looked at his clothes, they were Candor black and white, so he probably wouldn't know combat strategy like a Dauntless or possibly an Erudite would.

Just keep him at bay until the train slows, then run! A voice yelled in my head.

He threw a punch at my stomach but I got out of the way. But I apparently he wasn't done, because he got me in the face.

Stars exploded in my vision. Don't you dare loose you head now! The voice yelled even louder.

I tried to ignore the pain and the fading stars and tried a messy kick at the man, which he easily dodged.

He grabbed the jacket that I was wearing as the train slowed.

Oh no. No, no, no... Wait. I slipped out of the jacket and launched myself out of the door. I smacked the pavement, but I didn't care. I got up and ran as fast as I could to the houses near me, because there was a very good chance that the man wold pursue me. I looked around and noticed that I was in Candor.

I felt blood trickling down out of my nose and scratches on my knees and hands.

I got to a house with a light on and a makeshift swing in the yard, so I assumed that there were parents there.

I banged on the door. A very worried looking woman swung it open. She was small an had red hair.

"Let me in, I'll explain later," I said and pushed past her into the house.

The woman shut the door and turned to look at me. She saw the blood on me and gasped.

"Oh dear, lets get you cleaned up and you can tell me exactly what happened to you. You can stay here for as long as you need." she said.

She walked me to a bathroom. We passed a girl with round green eyes and dark hair who looked at me, got up an followed the woman and I.

We got to a bathroom, where there was a cabinet. She pulled out some rubbing alcohol and bandages and got me some tissues for my nose.

"Okay, what happened to you," asked the woman with a grave look on her face. I had a feeling that she already knew.

"I was on the train and this man... he..." I trailed off and let out a chocked sob.

The woman nodded knowingly as she dabbed at my knees with rubbing alcohol.

"Are you okay?" asked the little girl.

"Yes, I'm fine," I managed, not wanting to worry the girl.

"You're lying," she said and cocked her head at me.

I laughed bitterly. "No kidding," I said.

Why was I even in this situation? Then, I remembered the Divergent girls escape and how I was going to tell Robert about it.

The thought made me feel better that she was safe from Jeanine's clutches.

But what happened today, I wasn't going to tell Robert. Or anyone who would worry about me for that matter. And that was the last time I would ride the train alone at night.

The woman led me upstairs to an extra room. She said it used to belong to her son who defacted this year.

I lay awake shifting around under the sheets for forever, not able to sleep.

The door opened a crack and the little girl came in.

"You need help sleeping, don't you," she said and walked over to me. I nodded. "Can I read you a story?" she asked.

I almost laughed. "Sure," I said, to humor the girl.

She ran out of the room and came back with a thick book. "My brother used to read me these when I couldn't sleep," she said. She sat on the floor and started to read, "Once upon a time..." I closed my eyes and somehow fell asleep, thankful that the girl was there.

I DID NOT EXPECT THAT CHAPTER TO COME OUT LIKE THAT! I JUST WANTED CASSIA TO GET TO AMITY AND TELL HER FRIENDS WHAT HAPPENED WITH TRIS, BUT THT DIDN'T HAPPEN... AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT HOW CASSIA DEFENDED HERSELF IS COMPLETELY WRONG! I DO'T KNOW ABOUT THIS CHAPTER... TELL ME IF YOU FACES LIKE IT! REVIEWS PLEASE! STAY PIEFACEINGLY!
