Divergent: After The War

Part 8

A/N - I'm sorry this is late, but it's here now:) -B

Tris' POV

You can forgive, but you cannot forget. That is the motto I have lived by since I was 9 years old.

For example, you can forgive an Abnegation for being curious, but you cannot forget it, as it's against the faction manifesto : curiosity is a sign of self indulgence.

So I forgave Christina. But I couldn't ever forget that she tried to break me and Tobias up. Her attempt was petty, anyway. Me and Tobias are rock solid, supportive and loving. We would never split - would we?

Now I think about, Tobias had been acting really odd lately...

Georgia..that girl I'd seen around the compound. He'd been looking at her an awful lot. Please tell me he's not. He can't be. He's not in love with her. He's not. He..might be.

Christina's POV

I think blacking out on Xavier is the best thing I've ever done. I thought...I thought that he was going to kill me. Should a girl ever think that of her boyfriend? Certainly not. And I know that he's lying to me about something. I can see it in his eyes.

I have a theory. I have a theory that, on the inside, Xavier is not like this. I believe that he's being influenced by someone, something even. Someone like..Jeanine...Eric...Peter...no, not Peter. But that's impossible. Xavier had initiated a year before me, and as far as I had known, he had always been Dauntless.

Unless...unless Jeanine had poisoned him before. Before he had the chance to resist. Before he had the chance to live as a true Dauntless member.

Georgia's POV

Four was getting clingy. Really clingy. Obsessive, even. Everyday, he would come to my apartment door, conversations going a bit alike as follows:

Four: Gee, anything I can do for you today?

Me: No. Just like there wasn't yesterday. Or the day before. Or the week before.

Four: But Georgia, what about-

Me: What about WHAT, Four?

Four: What about us?

Me: There is NO us! I DON'T like you!

Four: But I like-

Me: GO AWAY

I don't want her to take it the wrong way, but I need to tell Tris. The one, and the only one, I actually fancy is Uriah. His tan skin, brown eyes and brown hair are perfect, his personality is incredible and...I think I'm in love.

Lucifer's POV (new character!)

I bet all of my life's earnings that you've heard of me.

You've probably seen me, talked to me. I bet you know me.

My name is Lucifer Lockhart. Of course, you knew that. You knew that because I, the greatest man to ever walk along the pit, and down past the chasm amongst the Dauntless compound, am Jeanine's secret weapon.

'How did this extraordinary event come about?' Those few of you who don't know of me ask. My story is far too interesting to spill all at once, so I'll start at the most important part: the day my precious blood dripped over the burning coals, the day I transferred from Erudite to Dauntless.

The pressure of the Choosing Ceremony for the other, weaker teenagers is overwhelming, like you're carrying some stupidly obese man on your fragile, still developing shoulders. Of course, for such a prestigious Erudite such as myself, the whole faction pressures you to stay. But I am my own man, and I will not receive pressure from anybody but myself.
