Resurgent

Chapter Nine

Four POV

I walk to the control room in silence. I need to know where Marcus is. I look through every and all cameras. I am about to give up when I see something on camera T2. Emma, Regina, and Henry, my new initiates, are trying to throw Chloe over the Chasm. I jump out of my seat, sprint towards the door, and bolt to the Chasm.

Chloe can't die. I can't have this blood on my hands. I am trying to give these kids a new life. How can I do that if they are all trying to have each other killed?

I reach the Chasm and I immediately start to take Regina down. Henry runs while Emma is still trying to get Chloe over the rail. She struggles and I swipe her feet out from under her. Chloe runs behind me, and I knock Emma out.

How is it possible to relive the same story, with different people, and have everything feel so completely different?

I make sure that Chloe is okay, and she leaves to go find Peter.

Is this it? Is this all I can do? I wanted to make a difference. I wanted them to learn to be brave as well as kind. Maybe, here, in Dauntless, that is not possible.

Peter POV

We've been here for about two weeks now. Tris keeps telling me that I'm doing better. Four thinks I am learning to be kind and being a better person.

I walk towards my hallway. Then Chloe comes and I smile. I really like her. She's such a wonderful person. My smile fades quickly when I see the tears in her eyes. I start to scoot over so she can sit, but she stops me by sitting on my lap and warping her arms around my neck. I blush.

"Peter?" I look to her, as if to ask what's wrong. "I don't think I can do this. I don't want to be apart of a war. Thats not who I am. I don't think I can make it."

"You have to. You're going to. Just hold on. It'll be okay." I remember what Four told me. I remember how it gave me hope. And I want to give her hope, now, too. "You've just got to be brave."

She forces a smile. "This is Dauntless, after all," I say. Tris and Four have been educating us on the faction system so that when they return, if we want to stay, we will be ready. I think I'll stay for the factions. But then again, it would be nice to not be conformed and suffocated by a single group and an entire society.

"I don't think you understand." She's right. I don't. "They tried to throw me into the Chasm. Four saved me."

I look at her. Her cloths are ripped and I see fresh cuts and soon-to-be-bruises all over her.

How didn't I notice before? I'm so busy and used to looking at her beautiful points that I don't notice it when she's hurt. Sometimes her inner beauty shines trough and leaves you blind-unable to see any points of deformation on her.

We sit in silence and I hold her close. I know what I have to do. They left me no other choice.

A/N
As I suspected, I couldn't wait to update, so I forgot about the prewriting thing and just wrote this. (I am too candor with you people. See what I did there?)

I know a lot of you have questions. 'Where's FourTris?' 'What happened to Kat?' 'Why didn't I do this first part in Chloe's POV?'. Well I haven't forgot about FourTris! It's going to be in the next chapter. And Kat is also in the next chapter, so chill. And I didn't put it in Chloe's perspective because, well I can't really tell you otherwise I will spoil the surprise. But expect madness from her.

Anyways, I just want to say thanks to everyone for the support! Especially jademize77 and SissorLuv my besties! Go check out some of their work.

So comment, vote, follow. You know the drill. I'll update by Wednesday. Till then, Stay Dauntless/Strong, and Be Brave. <4!!!!
