The Promise:Time and Death

Chapter 12

There are officially 5 days until he leaves and never comes back so Tris decides that she will try to keep him in the house or follow him. Looking at the facts on her board and pictures she took on her phone she came to the conclusion that the blue eyed man is behind it all. " Maybe something happened that night or maybe Will's time was up and he had to pay his debt" " or maybe he did die and I'm wasting my time" tris whispered to herself sadly but she couldn't think like that. She started investigating, putting her nose in peoples business even when she got caught 3 times and almost killed twice but to her it will be worth it when she saves her brother. Will not knowing anything about his sister's plans had bigger things to worry about like how he only has 9,000 dollars stored in a drawer. Or that even though he has been doing odd jobs like hacking or the few times he had to kill. He felt sick to his stomach that he killed people even if it was only 3 but they were human but then again they weren't innocent. By getting hired to hack into different networks that only got him 5,000 dollars each job and he only did 5. When he was hired to kill 3 people ( not at the same time) He got 10,000 for each and it still wasn't enough.64,000 just wasn't enough to save his life or his sisters so he went to another match determined to win. July 18th came quickly then expected and Tris wasn't ready for what might go down. Just like the first time she showered, got dressed and afterwards she decided to eat cereal. Almost finished she heard a knock at the door and she got up to answer it. " Hi Tris" Britney greeted " Hi Brit, sorry but Will isn't here" she answered while stepping aside to let her brother's girlfriend inside. " It's fine I'll hang out here if that's ok" " Sure I'm just finishing up breakfast" Talking and laughing for a good 30 minutes before the door opens to reveal Will. " Hi Tris" he greeted and ruffled her hair, grinning ear to ear knowing she doesn't like it. with a glare she greeted back. Unknowingly to Will and Tris, Britney was mad at witnessing this transaction between the siblings but she quickly covered it up with a smile when Will finally turned to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek as a way to greet her. All three of them talked together for a while until Britney finally left.
The whole morning felt like deja vu . Everything was the same, even the conversation. But she knew what she had to do. As Will was walking to his bedroom Tris yelled. " Where were you?!" she demanded " Out " he replied " Why didn't you call or text me so I'll know that you are fine?!" " Why are you always coming home this late in the morning almost every night?" she yelled. Will was getting irritated with her questions but he was also guilty because he couldn't tell her or he just wouldn't tell her. " I was out at a party with my friends, why are you questioning me? I'm older than you, I take care of you!" he screamed back " I'm 18 I can take care of myself first of all and second of all WE are all we HAVE just me and you." " And you know we do not keep secrets from each other, you have been leaving late and coming back late for the past 2 months now but I don't say anything because you are a grown 25 year old man and I mind my own business but this has to stop!" " Or at least let me know where you're going!" She screamed, by now the whole complex could hear them. " Just like you just said I'm grown and I can do whatever the hell I want!" " So stop being a freaking baby and get out of my WAY!" He tried to brush past her but she stopped him. " I hate you" She said "angrily", trying to look mad but inside she wanted to cry, and apologize and tell him that she didn't mean it, that she was sorry but couldn't. She had to get to the bottom of this so she stood her ground and held an emotionless face looking her brother in his eyes.Will hurt by this statement didn't know how bad it got and how what he did effected her until now but he stayed strong and left slamming the apartment door behind him. Tris watched as her brother left the apartment with a depressed look.
