Resurgent: A Divergent Fanfiction

Chapter 30

POV

Today is Visiting Day. I stay in my room, playing with my hair. I shouldn't go visit Caleb. And I doubt he will visit me.

"Tris!" Tobias knocks on my dormitory door

I get up and open it. "Hey."

"Sleep alright?" He asks.

"Decently." I reply.

He nods and leads me into his room.

"My family's here to visit." He murmurs once we are in his room.

"Are you going to go?" I ask

"I had an accidental encounter this morning." He says. "Both Marcus and Evelyn are here. But not to see me actually. They requested to talk to you."

Oh great. I know what they want. But instead I reply "Why?"

"They want to ask you about details, and probably other stuff related to when you died." He says, "Look they haven't seen you in 3 years and then you just pop into Marcus's house. They had to think something."

"Well who was the one that brought me into their house?" I challenge quietly, getting irritated.

"Are you going to go of not?" He sighs.

"Should I? They're not my family." I say

"It's up to you." He says but I can tell he wants me to go.

I sigh and nod okay. He looks at me, "I'll bring them up here."

LINEBREAK

"So tell me what happened Beatrice." Marcus says. He and Evelyn sit on Tobias's bed, while I stand far away. Tobias stands with his arms crossed in the corner.

"What makes you think I'll tell you?" I challenge

"You steal my son away from me, break his heart for three years, come back to haunt us, and then dare to set foot into my house. I think you ought to tell us." Evelyn glares

"He made his own choice to leave you." I say

"Answer the question."

"You can ask Tobias to tell you. I have no problem with that." I reply

"This is none of his business. I want you to tell me." Marcus says

"Why do you want to know so badly? Are you going to put me on the news? Humiliate me and Erudite?" I say angrily

"I want to make sure and over watch that my son isn't doing something stupid loving a girl with a dead soul! Because I am his permanent family and you are temporary!" Evelyn yells

Excuse me. That hit a soft spot. I clench my teeth.

Tobias speaks up, "Evelyn stop." He looks at her with intent eyes.

"We want to know if we can bring back Natalie and Andrew Prior." Marcus says quietly. "They knew some other information before the war started that I want to document."

"Erudite can't bring my parents back." I bite my lip. "Their bodies aren't intact anymore."

"That's unfortunate that yours was. " Evelyn says under her breath and I barely make out the words.

I am infuriated. At Marcus and Evelyn for bringing this up, and Tobias too, for urging me to go

"I'm sorry I ruined your motherly relationship with Tobias. I'll leave you be now. Happy Visiting Day." I say coldly

LINEBREAK

I return to my room, shutting and locking the door. Tobias knocks after around 20 minutes or so.
