Resurgent: A Divergent Fanfiction

Chapter 28

Tris POV

I keep my eyes shut and Zeke let's go of me. I still close my eyes. I'll wait a bit longer. Sure enough I feel a pain in my face and distinct fish oil scented liquid dripping. He got me spot on.

"Okay we are done! Game over!" Jacob yells. I wipe my eyes and squint a bit. Zeke and Jacob stand, without guns. Their hands in the air. I barely make our a shape in the shadows. His gun pointed at both people.

"Six we won!" Allison finds me, a huge smile on her face. "Great plan!"

"Thanks." I say, and finish wiping off all the gunky paint.

"You could've waited for me. Now you're covered with paint." Four says.

"I'm sorry, we had to act fast and the first person I found was Alli." I say. Did I just call her by a nickname?

LINEBREAK

Tobias POV

In the middle of the game I realized Tris was no longer in the main advancing group that was slowly headed toward the flag.

'Oh lord what has she gotten into this time' I think and weave out and into the forest.

I walk around a bit, looking for the flag. In my mind I guess flag = Tris location.

I see a glimpse of light ahead, and voices murmuring. I pick up the pace.

As I approach I see a figure climbing. She's not Tris, but her hand is nearly there on it.

I look around. Under the moon shines a series of paint splats on the trees. Like they were aiming at a running figure.

"Hold her down Zeke." I hear the distinct voice of Jacob. "Say goodbye to your pretty little face tonight Stiff."

I quickly sneak around and as Jacob takes a few steps back. I sling my gun over and grab his arms, yanking them back. His shot goes off and I hear splat on skin.

I wrestle and position the gun so the barrel is facing his forehead.

"Drop your hands." I say.

He doesn't. Fair enough, I pull the trigger and paint explodes in his face. He splutters, and I pull the gun away, tossing it far on the floor. I push him against a tree, where he stays, trying to regain vision.

Zeke advances shooting from a distance. One hits me in the thigh while the other brushes by my ear. I duck and dodge, making an advance towards him. I get a good hit on his cheek, and he splutters.

I sprint towards him, yank away his gun, and press mine to his forehead. I push him into Zeke.

Allison's voice whoops from above, and I know the game is won.

Jacob and Zeke put their hands up, "Okay. We are done. Game's over."

I smirk, never thought follower of Eric would surrender and acknowledge his opponents bravery.

I turn and see Allison running towards Tris. "Six we won! Great plan."

"Thanks." She says curtly

"You could've waited for me, now you're covered in paint." I smirk

"I'm sorry, but we had to act fast and the first person I found was Alli." She explains.

"I know I know, you always like to take action." I say, "You're a hot mess Six." I wipe off the hot pink paint on her hair.

"Like my hair?" She grins.

"Yea but... Eh I could get used to it." I reply.

"I guess the zip line plan tonight is off since I'm pretty messy looking huh." She grins
