Resurgent: A Divergent Fanfiction

Chapter 15

Tris POV

My alarm buzzes and I snap awake, heading down to the Pit. Today we get to choose jobs. As Dauntless members.

I shower and pull on a sweatshirt, then head down to eat breakfast.

"Tris!" Uriah yells, "Zeke's been looking for you. He wants to ask you what job you want, since you got ranked first."

"Oh we talk to them in person?" I say.

"Yeah, Zeke told me it's like an interview. New style for us Dauntless." He murmurs.

"New for me too then!" I laugh and grab a muffin.

"Tris." Tobias comes behind me, "Come with me."

"Where?" I ask and get up.

He doesn't reply, but instead walks me over to Eric's old office. Inside Jacob and Zeke sit.

"Ahh Tris." Zeke says. "Good to see ya girl."

"Hey" I smile and sit down.

"So of course, you must choose your job now." Jacob says.

"Alright." I've already made up my mind yesterday. "I'd like to work at the tattoo parlor with Chris and possibly be a part time trainer. If that's possible."

Jacob and Zeke look surprised, "You don't want leader in training?"

I smile, "Nah I'm good." And ahead I see Jacob look unamused, Zeke looks surprised, and Tobias behind suppresses a grin.

"Alright then. Welcome to Dauntless, you can head down to the tattoo parlor, Chris will show you the basics and regulations." Zeke says quietly, and scribbles something on his paper.

Four walks me back out. "Maybe I should get more tattoos sometime." He jokes.

"I think that back of yours is pretty sexy Tobias." I whisper. "Or you meant your gonna come visit me."

"Both." He smiles. "You wanted to do training with me too?"

"Ehh part time, I'll let you have most of the fun. I'll probably watch and stay quiet most of the time." I chuckle.

We walk through the Pit, and approach the tattoo parlor.

"As long as you're on my Capture the Flag team." He smirks.

I smile back. I like the light, gentle, joking Tobias. Not as much the concerned, strong humorless Four. Both have perks.

LINEBREAK

"So yea you just imprint the tattoos on people and yeah its pretty boringgg." Chris explains, dragging her words a little.

"Simple enough." I smirk.

She laughs "Everybody comes around sometime and you meet someone new everyday."

Someone taps me behind the back, "I'd like this one please."

I turn to see Andrew; he holds a design with the Candor scales on it.

"Sure." I sit him down.

As I imprint on his tattoo with a special iron, he asks, "So you're dating Tobias."

"Yea." I say curtly.

"Who is he?" He asks

"He was a Stiff." I answer and set a timer.

"Was?" He asks, "What does that mean?"

"It means, he was born in Abnegation too."

"Oh." He whispers. I zone out, glancing over at Christina. She points a thumbs up at me.
