The next few days passed by in a blur. Someone had tried to throw Tris over the chasm. Al had jumped off the chasm. Everyone was grieving and I felt empathy towards Tris, Christina and Will. I spent most of my time either with Eric, or in meetings with Jeanine and the leaders. The plans had been finalised. In two days time we were going to attack Abnegation. The serum would be injected tomorrow night after the final tests then the attack would begin the next morning. I was walking to Four's just now, to tell him about the attack. I knocked on his door loudly and he didn't answer for a while.

"Hello." I smiled at him and he looked quite flustered.

"Brayden, come in." He said and opened the door wider. I eyed him suspiciously but walked in anyway. I walked to his living room and saw Tris standing there awkwardly.

"Hi Tris." I said in a surprised tone and she smiled. Four went and stood next to her and I put two and two together. I gasped and started smirking.

"Four's got a girlfriend. Four's got a girlfriend." I teased and he rolled his eyes. Tris chuckled lightly and I laughed.

"Anyway. I have to tell you something Four." I said and my eyes darted to Tris.

"She is one." Four said and I was shocked.

"What were your results?" I asked her and she looked at Four uneasily.

"You can trust her. She is one too." He said to her and Tris nodded.

"I got Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite." She said quietly.

"They were mines too." I said and she smiled.

"So what do you have to tell us?" Four said. I walked closer to them and stood with my hands on my hips.

"The serums will be injected tomorrow night after the final test and after the final rankings have been put up. The attack will take place early the next morning." I said an Four nodded.

"I have seen Erudite unload a lot of these tiny vials just outside to compound. They are obviously what we will be injected with." He said and pulled something out of his pocket. I took it out of his hand and inspected it closer.

"Yeah. This is it." I said and handed it back.

"You both have to blend in. Get the serum then in the morning just blend in with everyone until we get to Abnegation okay?" I said and they nodded.

"I cannot believe I'm betraying Eric like this." I mumbled to myself and Four looked at me sympathetically.

"I'm sorry Brayden." He said and opened his arms. I walked into them and he hugged me tightly.

"Thank you bro." I whispered and he chuckled.

"You're welcome sis." He said and I laughed. We pulled back and Tris was standing there smiling.

"And you. Have a good nights rest for tomorrow. You will do great." I said and hugged her.

"Well I will see you both tomorrow. Have a nice night." I said and walked back to the door.

"Bye Bray." They said and I smiled. I walked out of his apartment and decided to head home to sleep after a long day.

.

I woke up the next morning to a knock at my door. I bolted up from my bed and ran to answer it.

"Morning." Eric said and walked in past me.

"Good morning." I said back and shut the door.

"Final tests today. You ready for a day of watching sims?" He asked and I laughed.
