Dauntless Brothers

[Chapter 46] Wedding Crashing.

Taking Evelyn's advice, I rush off at once leaving her to deal with Marcus. The wedding is being held in the Pit. I run down the stairs and jump the last few. I reach my destination with only a minute to spare.

Chairs are set in rows facing a little platform set up in the front. Tables line the walls with refreshments on them. Tris and Eric are not here, though it seems like everyone else is.

"There you are!" I turn around to find Zeke in the tux he wore to the dance."

"Hey." I say walking to them.

"I can't believe you let her do it." He says, taking a sip.

"It wasn't an easy choice." I look down at my clothes. They're the ones I wore to school yesterday. A black t-shirt and pants. Not something that you wear to a wedding.

I start to walk away to look for Tris but Zeke gets hold of my hand. "But you're Four and Tris. Together you're FourTris and everyone loves FourTris." (do you guys get it? It's from Pitch Perfect 2) Uriah who's standing near by laughs and says. "I agree."

I stare at him in disbelief and say. "I'll see you later."

I spot Christina in a black dress talking to Will, so I go to them. "Have you guys seen Tris?"

"Tobias! Hi! No, I haven't seen her. I went to her apartment to see if she wanted help getting ready but Eric was there and she sent me away."

"Eric was there?" I ask to make sure.

She nods and gives me a sympathetic look. I walk away looking for someone else who'll be able to help me. I spot Max talking to some of his friends. But I don't want to ask him. I'm still looking around for someone to question when people start to take their seats.

 I find one somewhere in the middle of the crowd so that I'm hidden from anyone who walks down the aisle. I sit there, breathing heavily waiting for the person I need to talk to.

The amity group which was hired to play the music starts to play a slow tune and soon Eric walks down the aisle, he goes to stand next to the leader on the platform who'll be in charge of the ceremony.

I sit there for what seems like years till people around me start to murmur and I turn around to look at what caused the stir. What I see makes me stop breathing.

Tris.

She's dressed in a white dress that a person that only get when they are getting married. She looks like a white flower in the sea of black. That's the reason brides are allowed to wear white. She keeps walking and soon she's just steps away from my seat.

I look away from her to look at Eric who's looking down instead of at Tris. Any sane person wouldn't have been able to pry their eyes away from her. I sit up in my seat so that I can see what caught his attention.

The sight makes my eyes widen.

He's holding a screen in his hand and is busy doing something on it. Just as Tris walks from beside my seat, everything seems to fall into place like the last piece of a puzzle being fit.

Tris has a headache yesterday because she had been injected with something. And that was done by Eric while she was asleep. Then as soon as it started to affect her, he started controlling her when she told me on the train that she was fine. From then onwards he has been controlling her.

Tris is under a simulation!

I feel myself getting out my seat and calling out. "Tris!" She stops but does not turn around to look at me which only confirms my hunch.
