After a hard goodbye to Newt and Frypan, our group made it back to Dauntless with the rest of the Initiates. I pulled Four aside and asked to speak with him.
"Is everything okay?" We decided to claim the fighting mats for the evening to talk as we trained. "Someone else bothering you now? My hit list is filling up with initiates."
I grinned at his remark, feeling a protective older brother aura radiating off of him. "No, Four. The people who put us in the maze are still alive."
Four took a step back to breathe, wiping the sweat from his forehead so it didn't drip into his eyes.
"I'm assuming your brother told you this?" I nodded. "Are you sure he's not... tired of the Faction systems and trying to start some revolution?"
I laughed at the idea. "No. Newt's main motive in life is protecting me. He was telling me this to keep me safe. As a warning."
"Damn! You're getting better at this!" Four exclaimed, rubbing his shoulder after I twisted his arm behind him. "So what about these crazy maze people? What're they doing now?"
"Apparently they're going to be the ones starting some revolution. They want to shut down the Faction systems and take me with them."
"No offense, but what's so special about you?"
"No idea," I took a step back to catch my breath after being in a stagnant grapple hold with Four for too long. "Newt is working his way up to Leadership in Abnegation. He overhears things in Leader meetings."
"Did they say when they were expecting this attack?"
"Nope," I sighed and plopped down into a sitting position on the mat. Four joined me. "Just that they got some video message from the lady who helped create the maze. He knew it was her from her voice."
"But she killed herself?" Four rubbed his forehead in confusion. Slight frustration too. I've noticed those things go hand in hand in his mind. "So let me get this straight. Correct me if I'm wrong."
I nodded.
"The lady who put you and your friends in the maze faked killing herself, is planning on destroying the Faction system, and for some odd reason she wants to take you with them after?"
