Escape- a petris story

Chapter 9

The train reaches amity and I jump out. Peter jumps next. We run through the amity fields, people staring at us crazily. a few children run with us.

"Who are you?" Johanna asks us both.
"I'm tris and this is peter. we were wondering if we could be apart of amity?"
She thinks for a moment.
"Yes. only if you go through the truth serum, you are always kind to each and everyone and you will help with the farming. tonight, you will go through truth serum so we can understand why you would change. if you fail to give a good reason why then you will have to leave. also go through our 'training' as you dauntless would say."

Wow. Truth serum.

I have a small room next to peter. it is cosy, a bed, reading spot, clothes, mirror, sofa.

I put my dauntless clothes far away in the closet. yes, I will miss dauntless. I lift up the amity clothes. Their baggy, no way am I wearing this. Good thing my mum makes clothes. I learnt a few tips. I put the red top over me and it slips to my knees. I walk out and go to Johanna's office. I nock on the chestnut door and she opens it,
"Yes?"
"May I make new clothes out of these clothes? I'm fine if not-"
Johanna smiles and hugs me,
"You know. I have always wanted someone to say that! Only a few people do. I will see what you make and if it is amazing I will make you head of the clothing department. well, if you make it into amity."

I smile,
"I am so happy! You know, I wanted to work in the dauntless clothing but they only let people over 50 do it?? It's crazy! Thank you so much!"
I skip away from the office and go down the glass corridor to my room. Peter is coming out of his room,
"Woah! You're chirpy? Peace serum?"
I shake my head,
"I can be the head of clothing and I can make better clothes! I can make you some too."
His eyes widen and begs me too, I shut the door on his face and get to work.

(See the picture for the clothes)

"Tris" Johanna calls.

"Coming."

Time for the truth serum. I walk out in my new clothes and she clasps her mouth with her hands. I gave Peters his and he thanked me.
"Wow!!" She says.

We walk to the headquarters. it's a dome made out of wood. people are all sitting watching.
"Tris Prior." Someone calls.
I walk forward. someone plunges a syringe into my neck. I rub it.

I hear people say things about my dress. 😊.

"Introduce yourself."
"My original name was Beatrice Prior. I am now just Tris, and I wish to not have my surname mentioned. I am 16." I introduce myself,

"Why do you not like your surname?"

"Because my father used to abuse me. I hate to be reminded and I wish to have nothing to do with him."
"Sorry. Why are you here? Why do you want to stay?"

"Because, my father and Eric, the leader, he was my boyfriend and he kept trying to hurt me or Peter. I never liked him and my father wanted me to marry him."

"Who is Peter to you?"

"He is my boyfriend."

"Did it get really bad in dauntless to the point where you had to leave?"

"Yes. Eric beat Peter up to the point where he went unconscious and then he threatened to hurt my loved ones."

"Well done. you are now in Amity. also, you will make clothes and be kind to everyone. if you fail to do so we will kick you out. okay?"

"Okay."

I walk to the side, passing Peter.

"Introduce yourself please."

"My name is Peter Hayes and I'm 16. My original faction is candor."

"Ah, candor, good. So why do you think you should be able to stay here?"

"With Eric hurting me but what was worse was seeing Tris hurt. When Willow, this other girl, kissed me, tris wouldn't talk to me for a while. I never wanted to go out with her, but she kept threatening me that if I don't she will get Eric to hurt Tris. I couldn't let that happen. I broke up with Willow because I couldn't last without Tris. She is my life. I didn't want Willow to tear us apart again so I left as well."

"Good. You will have to go through training to see what your job will be."

He walks off to me,
"Peter, with me and Tris go follow Holly" Johanna says pointing to someone,

I walk over,
"Hello tris! I will show you around the clothing!" She says chirpy. oh great.

We walk off,
"Is Johanna gone yet?" she asks, I look around,
"Yeah."

She let's out a breathe,
"Finally! I can't keep up with this happiness!"

A few amity girls come walking past,
"Look at the pretty rainbow! She points to the sky. the girls stare in 'awe'

"It's exhausting! If I was you I would go to any other faction! Well except the stiffs."

I laugh, she's hilarious,
"By the way my nickname is hail. Holly seems all nice and sweet so hail but only call me it when no amity obsessed people are around."

"Nice. call me anything except Beatrice. As you say, it's all sweet and nice."

---------time skip---------

Peter is a farmer. Haha. And I'm the head of clothing! Holly-I mean hail- is like my Bestfriend she is so funny.

It's lunch time. The cafeteria is another glass dome. it is so hot! The food they give us is a salad. I know, amazing right?

"Hey ya'll" hail comes and sits next to me.

"Yo"

"Heya"

"Yo Pete and heya Trissypoo"

She thinks Peters name is Pete and she calls me Trissypoo. Ugh.

"How's the clothes and farming going?" Hail asks,
"Great! New clothes are coming and PETER Has been giving food to the amity children. So cute." I emphasise peter,
"Tris, how come you didn't come to dauntless to deliver the clothes?"
"Clothes?" I ask.
"Yeah. Everyone had to come, in fact Hail said you let her take them instead--"
"So tris you've got to go and collect the clothes now." hail interrupts,
"Hang on. What? What about the dauntless clothes?"

Before Peter could say anything, dauntless trucks came crashing through the fields. one person catches my eye. Eric.
