Divergent High: A Different Story

Chapter 32

I look at all of them. Jace pulls Clary behind him, and Simon stands protectively in front of Isabelle.

Magnus steps forward. "Hello Alpha Tris. We have been traveling from pack to pack, and no one is willing to take us in. Thank you." He says.

"Of course! Everyone is welcome. Follow me." I say, and they all sigh in relief. Poor people. "So, how long have you guys been looking for a pack?" I ask curiously.

They all look at each other. "We've been looking for a pack for about a year." I have at them. "A year!? How did you guys get food? Where did you stay? Hurry up, let's get to the pack house quickly."

They stay silent, and follow me. Thankfully, when we pass through The Pit, Uriah and Marlene were not engaging in intercourse. I grimace at the memory.

We make it to the pack house, and the new pack members gape at the size of the house. I smirk. "That's the pack house. You will soon know why it's so big, and why the second floor is not finished. In the meantime make yourselves at home. When you get inside, ask for Katniss, and she will explain everything." I say, smiling.

"Thank you, so much." Alec says, hugging me. "Of course." They happily walk towards the house. I smile.

Gale sees me, and walks towards me. "What's up with the new pack members?" He asks. "Poor them, they were on the run for a year." "Oh, that sucks." "Yeah. I'm gonna go, tell Katniss I'm leaving eh?" I ask. He glares at me.

"Fine, just tell Haymitch, or Harry."

"Fine, fine. Just go to your mate already." "Thanks Gale!"

I happily skip out of my pack territory, my happy mood prominent. One thought quickly makes my happy mood fade away, I need to tell Four what I really am.

'Would you calm down? It's not like he's going to reject you.' Snow says.

'Wow very reassuring, thanks.' I fire back.

I'm going to tell him today. I have to tell him today.

I walk over to his house, my face showing pure determination. I knock on his door, and seconds later, he opens it.

"Hey Tris. What's up?" He looks around, "Is everything okay?" I cut him off.

"Yes, everything is fine. Come on, Four. I have to show you something." 

I drag him all the way to the forest, with him occasionally asking me stupid questions.

"Would you shut up?" I ask him. He quickly shuts his mouth and continues walking.  We quickly arrive at a little clearing a kilometer away from the pack house. Going to the pit would be too dangerous.

I suck in a long breath, and slowly let it go, my adrenaline slowly fading, and nerves replacing it. I shake my hands, and turn to him. I open my mouth to start talking, but he starts talking before I get a chance to.

"Before you say anything, I need to tell you something. My real name is not Four." I scoff. "Obviously." He chuckles, but continues.  "It's Tobias. I had a rough past. I was a chubby kid, and I was awful at school. Many people bullied me, so I decided to give myself a hard name, one that tells everybody to back off. I was thirteen at the time, it's not exactly brilliant." He laughs and scratches the back of his head. "Nobody made fun of me after that. The name just stuck. I'm so sorry for keeping this from you."

Damn you, I wanted to say. Damn you, because my secret is five million times worse than that. Damn you, for being such a nice guy.

I look up at him, and start. Already, tears are falling from my eyes. He moves to wipe them away, but I put a hand signaling for him to not come close.

"Since we're telling each other secrets, I guess I better tell- well, show you mine."

I shift into my wolf.

"Y-you I -uh -eh." He says, fear laced in his voice and facial expression. I shift back, thankful that my clothes are still on, just a bit ripped.

"There's a difference between what I am, and what I show." I then walk away, leaving him stranded speechless in the middle of the woods. I don't wan't to see his expression. I don't want him to see me in disgust. I don't want to look back and see the look of pure disappointment on his face. I don't want too see his eyes full of fear.

Tears trail down my face as my wolf annoyingly howls in my head, creating a headache.  She cries for her mate, the person that is supposed to love her. She cries because he probably won't accept us. She cries because of the fear in his eyes. She cries because he won't accept her in her true form. She cries because she loves him.

I cry, because I love him.

There's no denying it. He trapped me in a web, and he's the spider.

I once again shift into my white wolf. Snow growls mercilessly, and she runs faster than she ever has. I let her take full control of my body. She avoids trees, jumps fallen stumps, and leaves a trail of dead grass.

She howls into the night.

What's up guys?
