Resurgent: A Divergent Fanfiction

Chapter 18

Tris POV

By the time we walk back into Dauntless, it's almost dinner time. Four and I walk hand in hand down the hall.

I see the shadowy figure of Carlos stand there like he's waiting.

"Where have you been all day Tris?" He asks. Beside me Four tenses a little and I squeeze his hand, hoping he won't beat him up. At least not now.

"I went into the city with Four." I say casually.

"Yea it was a date we wanted to go on in honor of you losing the bet." Four says.

"Oh" Carlos says gruffly, "Well plan on going on a date with me soon then too Tris. Kay?"

With that he walks away.

"I think I'm going to vomit." I whisper after his shadow disappears.

"And I think I'm going to kill someone." He says back.

"Hey." I turn and slap him playfully on the arm. "No worries I've got no other interests."

"I know." He smiles. "Com'on let's go eat."

We walk I'm the Pit and find some seats. Christina's there too already.

"Well look what we've got here." She chuckles, "I thought there was at least gonna be another day that I could take without gagging."

"No worries, I'll make Tris gag too." A voice comes from nowhere and arms wrap around Christina's shoulders.

Uriah's head pops out and I literally drop my hamburger. My mouth hangs. In happiness and shock.

Uriah kisses Christina, still a little sloppily, and I am too shocked to gag honestly.

When they pull away, Four smirks, "Didn't know you had it in you either Uriah..."

He flushes a bit, "It's time for us to move on too you know."

A pang of guilt creeps into my chest. I know what they mean. Uriah's lost Marlene and Chris has lost Will. I'm glad they could find each other, and a smile breaks onto my face. My self guilt for killing Will seems to have risen a little, I feel slightly better.

"For your information we didn't gag." I smirk. "Chris you never told me! When did this happen?!"

"Today." She smiles, and whispers softly. Very unchristinacandor styled.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Carlos muttering with Andrew. They glance up, acting like they've seen a ghost. I don't care .

Today must just be a really good, no really great day.

LINEBREAK

The next day I head down to the Pit again for breakfast. Today things are back to normal.

Andrew finds a seat across, "How did it feel to die?"

I look up, acting shocked, "W-What makes you think I've died?" I say defensively.

"You're fidgeting, so you're lying. And I heard you yesterday." He says.

"Well not many people come back after death. So why would I? I don't know what you heard yesterday." I stay as frigid as possible.

"I heard you say will seeing me dead again mend all of the fights." He says quietly.

"That was an exaggeration. But I have gotten very very very very close to death before." I cover up.

I don't know about you, but I don't think it's smart to let word pass that I'm resurrected. That's like my biggest secret. Tobias doesn't even know the details.

He looks unconvinced, but that will do. I would most certainly first tell Tobias about my death than some Candor boy. No offense to Christina, but they can't keep their mouth shut in the first place.

I stand up and walk toward the tattoo parlor. I see Chris giving tattoos to a Dauntless man and a woman, of half a heart. On the backs of their hands, the freshly inked tattoos decorated with guns and other characteristics.

Hmm, maybe I should get one too. I look over the templates and pick three small ones

Since I know where and how, I print the tattoo on my left wrist, and gently peel away the iron. On it is a neatly yet bold printed

4❤️6

It hurts a bit, so I roll my sleeve and get to work.

Zeke and Uriah come down.

"You here for tattoos or girls?" I ask.

"A Girl to be specific. Four would kill me otherwise if he caught me flirting with ya." Uriah says and winks.

Zeke slaps him, "I'm telling him you said that. By the way, I figured some company is overdue, so were having a hangout mini party at my dorm starting 6:30. My dorm connects with Uriahs through another door on the inside, so you can come in either of our dorms and chill. There's gonna be food and lots of space, but don't tell anyone."

"Sounds fun" I say.

"Yea only gonna be 6 people or so. I just figured we haven't hung out friends wise and wanted to fix that." He chuckles and Uriah talks with Chris.

"Okay." I nod

"See you tonight Tris" He smiles and walks out. Uriah stays behind a bit kissing Chris until Zeke physically yanks Uriah off and they both flush.

"You'll see her tonight man, now we have training." He mutters playfully. I laugh a bit

Dang. A bit of spit fills my mouth, but I refuse to swallow. I'll prove them wrong. I will not gag. But I can't help but think how unsloppy Four is and smile. He always knows what to do at the right time.

LINEBREAK

Four finds me at lunch.

"You heard about Zeke's invite right?" He says.

"Yeah." I nod, "Are you going?"

"Yeah. You are too right?"

I nod, "Yeah."

"How's the leader training?" I ask.

"It's okat. Usually I don't participate since I'm not really considered a leader. Just part time. Mainly Zeke and Jacob train. It's more similar to school than it is like initiation." He explains.

He glances over, "Is there something on your wrist?" He sees the tail of my 6

"Yeah uh I got another tattoo today." I chuckle.

He gently touches my hand. "Can I see it? Does it still hurt?"

"A bit, but yea course." I smile and roll up my sleeves.

He looks at it, the touches it gently. I remain stiff to hold back a wince from the sting.

"You okay?" He asks and pulls his hand away.

"Yea. It's okay." I say.

"I love it." He says. "I'll get the same one."

"You sure? That back is sexy enough." I joke.

"Nah yours is cuter." He squeezes my other hand, and rolls my sleeve back down

Uriah is so gonna gag now.
