Resurgent: A Divergent Fanfiction

Chapter 32

Tris POV

By the time I awaken next morning Four isn't there. Did I just sleep for practically another day? I glance at the clock. It's 9:00 A. M. Yup pretty much.

I have to accomplish something today. Now everyone thinks I'm weak.

I head down to the Pit, snag a leftover muffin and make my way to the tattoo parlor.

Tobias POV

I monitor the fear stims in the room. Initiate after initiate comes in nervously. All of them attended the funeral of Lance. Must've found out what I did.

Oh well, I would trade a dead cowering initiate for my girlfriend to be healthy and alive anyway.

Allison comes in. She's the only one not intimidated by me. I can see fear in her eyes, but she doesn't show it.

Her first stimulation only lasted 4 minutes. And I'm guessing she's divergent. Much of her fears are correlative to Tris's fears. I only saw her losing her mom. Strange why not her father.

I inject the serum in her neck

"You ready?" I ask emotionlessly.

She gulps, "Yeah."

"Be brave Alli." I whisper and she closes her eyes.

I turn to the computer

Alli is in the Amity fields, picking strawberries. Hmm wonder what could get scary with this.

"Allison!" A masculine voice roars.

"D-dad?" Her voice trembles.

I shudder. She has the exact fear as me.

A figure runs towards her, "Come over here right now! You have not been good."

She hobbles over.

Her father holds a rock says, "This is for your own good. Learn from it!"

He smashes the rock on her cheek, shoulders. Alli rolls up into a ball, crying. I look away for a sec, and she's awake in another few minutes.

She buries her head into her hands, sniffling a bit.

"It's okay" I say. "It wasn't real."

"Seemed like it." She shudders and sniffles. I help her up, she's freezing cold. She tenses at my touch, but settles down.

"I understand." I murmur gently, "I really do."

"Just go out the back door and stay in your dorm to calm down." I whisper and send her off.

"Okay," she says, "thanks Four."

She walks out and I sit in the room for a while. She's not that different from me and Tris. She's experienced the exceptions of factions. She joined Dauntless to forget her past. Like me.

I smile to myself. Alli is going to make it. I can trust more people than I originally thought. We aren't so different after all.

LINEBREAK

Tris POV

I sit and eat lunch. Neither Four nor Alli come. Strange, since all the other initiates are here.

We've already had 2 initiate deaths out of the transfers. That's above average.

Four walks into the cafeteria a couple minutes later, and sits down.

"When did you get up?" He asks

"A few hours ago. Ish" I reply

"Ahh." He bites into his hamburger.
