Candor or Dauntless

Chapter seven

"Four candor or dauntless?" Will asks. "Dauntless." Tobias answered with an over exaggerated sigh. He worked so hard on burying his background, his old, abnegation life. But, now people know about it friends know about it. We can trust them. Right? Or will they hang it over his head as an excuse for something. "Climb the Ferris wheel." "C-can tris come with me..?" Tobias stutters. "Why not? Is like to see her try." I cross my arms, and give her a really look. "You're on." I say.

At the wheel

"Bring us back a souvenir!" Christina shouts at us about 20 feet into the air, me leading the way again. "Haven't we gone high enough, tris? Were like 1,000 feet in the air!" Tobias shrieks. "Tobias!" I say stopping. "Were not even fifty feet in the air." He looks down, sweat beading on his forehead. "Really? Then why's the air so thin?" I laugh at his question, and almost let go of the railing.

About another 100 feet into the air, Tobias begins to mumble, "don't let go of the railing, don't let go of the railing and fall to the ground, ending your life within minutes and have your girlfriend have to clean off your remains for a funeral." I roll my eyes. "Tobias, you're not going to die, and anyways, you weren't as scared last time we climbed." He mumbles something under his breath, something I didn't catch. "What?" "I watched a dauntless jump off of the Lincoln building. I never recovered." He says. I reach my hand down, and he lifts his up, and we grasp each other for a brief moment before we begin to climb again.

When we reach the very top of the Ferris wheel. Tobias begins to shake violently. "Start climbing down, Tobias, I'll get the 'souvenir.'" I tell him. He nods, and begins to go back down, while I try to break away a rusty piece of the wheel. I jump into one of the cars, and take off the door. I make sure no one is directly under the wheel, engrave four and tris were here, then I toss it below me.

Chris POV

We all stare up at the sky, when my heart skips a beat. One of them is falling. We all realize it, and Zeke sprints towards it. "I won't let you die!" He yells underneath it, arms ready to catch either one of them. But, they don't come. A large clang sounds to out left, and we see a giant door piece slam into the ground, 50 feet away from us. "Yeah.. You're gonna die." He yells us to four and tris. A loud "WHAT?!" Can be heard for above, then we see Four hyperventilating. "Is that four?" I ask doing a double take. "Yes it is." Zeke replies shocked.

"IM GONNA DIE, TRIS!" We hear from high above us. Well, we found out one of Four's fears, heights. It's actually pretty funny listening to his frantic cries. Wow. I'm a horrible friend. Or, whatever 'friendship' is in dauntless. It's definitely not like Amity friendships. Friendship bracelet making, chasing butterflies together, giving people hugs together, hand slapping games, and lots of sleepovers with even more friendship things to do.

When tris and four reach real ground, we all laugh at four's face. Beads of sweat line his eyebrows, above his lip, and on his forehead. His face is flustered red, and he looks like he is going to pee his pants. He kisses the ground, and rubs it. "Where's the souvenir?" I ask, folding my arms across my chest. "I threw it down." Tris replies. We all glance over at the fallen slab of metal, and begin to cautiously walk over to it.

On the red door with broken blue hinges, reads four and tris were here on the front. I pick it up, and place it under my arm, getting looks from the group. "What?" I ask. "Memories. One day, some of us may not be here when the rest of us are." "Still have the candor honesty." Will says. I slap his arm playfully, and he kisses my cheek. "I love you." He says. "I love me too." He gives me a look, and I laugh, "and I love you too."

When we arrive back at the dauntless compound, we re-enter the apartment, and begin to play again. "Christina, candor or dauntless?" Four asks me. "I'm Dauntless... Though, I did originate from candor..." "Play seven minutes in heaven with Zeke." Christina fake gags, and takes off her hoodie, leaving her in  a leather jacket over a wool one. "Um.. Shauna?" "Candor." "PANSY-" Lynn slams a pillow into Uriah's face, and he topples over, and grabs his face. "Oh my dauntless cake. WOMAN THAT HURT!" He shouts. "Would you rather have to kill Marlene, or everyone in dauntless, including us, but not Marlene." "Marlene." She says, "Lynn?" "Dauntless." "Ask someone to have sex with you, then slap them if they say no, punch then if they say yes." She shrugs, and walks out the door with tris and Zeke following.

Ezekiel POV

"So, how long have you known about four and all.... that?" I ask. "Well, since during initiation. He let me into his fear sim, and I saw an abnegation house with his father." "He was afraid of his father?" I shake my head, "someone killing his father." She replies. I don't know. Four doesn't really seem that happy with going back to his abnegation house. "Will you have sex with me?" Lynn asks a man in the pit. He smiles widely, and nods his head towards his apartment. She punches him in the face, and runs off, us following.
