Resurgent: A Divergent Fanfiction

Chapter 56

Tris POV

I return to Dauntless and shower. Well now I know that paintball will definitely wear the crap out of me.

The hot water from the shower was so relaxing, but I was even more happy about the training sessions themselves. Hard feelings to describe.

I finish up my shower, change out, and head to dinner.

There was nobody there at dinner, or anyone I knew of. Zeke, Christina, Uriah, even Tobias.

"Where is everybody?" I say.

"I have no clue." Cara says behind me. "Might as well eat."

Before...

Cara POV

I walked up to the control room to meet with Zeke.

"Hey Zeke. What's up?" I ask.

"Hey Cara, Caleb sent in a message today. The serums are all prepared and ready to go. I've sent over a couple trustworthy members to retrieve them. You'll have to start as soon as possible. Hopefully tomorrow..."

I nod, "Is there any way we could get the 4 people in one room or area first, but able to isolate them? I don't have much experience with fighting and it would be difficult to inject by force."

"Yea easy. I'll let them know a party tomorrow at my house. Just the four people along with you, me and Shauna." Zeke says. "Trust me, truth or dare is an easy was to do that."

I nod, "I always think Tris will be harder to get. She's very smart and suspicious of me I can tell."

"You'll just have to outsmart the fox you nose." Zeke smirks. "You can do this."

Tris POV

"Hey Tris!" Zeke comes down while I am eating my hamburger.

"Yea? What's up?"

"So I'm gonna have a mini party over in my room tomorrow starting at 6. There will be dinner already prepared, whattaya say?" He says cheerily.

"Who else are you inviting?" I ask

"Uriah, Chris, you, Tobias, Cara, and another girl named Shauna. I'm not sure if you guys have met yet..." He says

Sound like fun. "Alright... I think I'll go." I say.

"Sweet. Thanks. Do me a favor and tell Tobias for me will ya?" Zeke says.

I nod.

"Sweet. Okay I'll see you tomorrow then!"

I resume eating in silence til I see Uriah and Christina come down to the Pit finally.

"There you guys are. What were you doing? Making out." I joke

"Psh of course not. We just weren't hungry and hung out a bit before coming down." Uriah says casually.

I glance at Christina. She looks uncomfortable and is red as a tomato. Nope clearly not what happened.

"So how'd ya like paintball?" Uriah quickly changes the topic.

"Ehh wasn't so bad." I say. Beside me Cara sits in silence as well. I want to include her in the conversation but don't know what to say.

Tobias finally comes downstairs as well.

"Where've you been?!" Uriah yells playfully.

"Uhh showering. Is there a problem?" He says.

"Yea Tris, completely normal. She thought we were making out." Uriah says again.

Tobias rolls his eyes and sits by me.

"Oh yea, Zeke came by a while ago. He said there's a party tomorrow in his room at around dinner time. Dinners provided and it's pretty much our little group right here. Thought you might want to know." I say.

"What did you tell him?" Tobias asked

"I told him I thought it would be fun and I would be there." I replied.

Dinner passed by awkwardly. None of us had a particular subject we could easily chat about.

LINEBREAK

Tobias led me into my room afterward. Very very awkward dinner, that's for sure.

"Do you think Chris and Uriah know about us?" I ask. My mind was still on them.

"Nah. Too oblivious. Too in love too." He laughs. "Why is something wrong?"

"I dunno, I just don't think a party tomorrow for no reason sounds good. Like with all the Dauntless games. I just feel like someone around us knows something." I say.

"Tris, relax. It's gonna be fine. I mean we've already lost memories and all the worst. What could happen. Besides, you're the one that agreed to Zeke in the first place." Tobias soothes.

I sigh. He's right.

Tobias sits on the bed with me. "Relax. Maybe you are some nervous stimulating cake or something. You ate quite a bit of it tonight"

"Uhhh you did too. Who doesn't love cake?" I roll my eyes

" Pansycakes." He answers and I laugh.

"Gee I didn't know you had some humor sense." I say.

"Gee there's not even that much about me that I even know and you don't know that about me." He says

"Oh shush." I playfully hit him with a pillow.

He looks playfully appalled. He picks up one of my pillows and whacks me in the face.

Oh he's gonna get it.

We smack each other back and forth with our pillows. I managed to crawl on top of him and get him a few times in the face. Other times, he'd have me pinned the "painful" way on my bed and smack me. But none of it hurt, we were laughing the whole time.

He keeps me pinned and hits me with the pillow. "Surrender."

"Never!" I laugh

He smacks me again, "Surrender." He says playfully. "Or you'll never stand up."

"I'm alright with that." I giggle as he begins tickling me stomach. He continues, and my body has to eventually give in to his enormous spider hands.

I hold my hands up, "I surrender!" I laugh.

"For the record, you started this." He grins, and stops.

"And for the record, you thought cake had could impact nerves." I say quietly.

"What's that?" He put his hand up in threatening motion.

"And for the record, you don't have any ticklish spots." I say glumly

He smirks, "You know me well."

I see him relax, and place my arms around his back. I roll on my side on the bed, pulling him with me.

"Jobs are kinda pointless these days..." I say as I look at his tattoo.

"What, everyone's out of bare skin and you've run out of business?" He says.

"No, it's just pointless. And I wish people wouldn't be so..." I stop.

"So what?" He asks. He wraps his arms around my waist and kisses my forehead.

"So pointless an unmotivated. Like how we train in hopes of bringing back the old ways of Dauntless security and flawless fighting." I say.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but it's starting to happen. We're kinda already organizing people and situations are turning better. Gotta hand it to Uriah."

"It would be nice to know what life was like previously..." I say.

He nods. "How about we focus on the positive Tris." He soothes. "I know you won't but just take it easy and let it pass for now."

I smile and nod.

He stares at my lips and then my eyes and back at my lips.

I beat him to it. I scoot closer and it feels as if time has temporarily stopped as we kiss. My mind becomes more clear.
