Selfless And Honest

Chapter 16

I sit by myself as I wait to go in for the final test. I'm the last person to go in. Ember was the person before me to do it. I wish Peter was here to comfort me. To steady my nerves before I enter my fear landscape.

"Lily." Four says. I look at him and bite my lip.

"You'll be okay. Come on." He reassures me. I nod and follow him nervously. My heartbeat picks up when I see all of the Dauntless leaders and a few Erudite, including Jeanine, in the room. I sit in the chair and Tori walks over to me.

"Good luck." She whispers and injects the sim into my neck.

--Time Lapse To After Her Fear Landscape Cause You Know What's In There--

I wake up to hear clapping. I look around in panic to see I'm back in the fear landscape room. Four walks over to me and helps me up.

"You did good." He whispers to me before leaving me outside the door. I sigh in relief when I see Peter waiting for me.

"How'd it go?" Peter asks. I run to him and throw my arms around his middle.

"Four said I did good." I reply. He wraps his arms around me tightly.

"See, I told you you'd do amazing. Uh, who was tied to the chair this time?" Peter asks as we make our way to the Pit.

"You." I reply. He kisses my temple. I spot Ember talking to a Dauntless-born, whom I learned is called Uriah. Ember and I haven't talked in a long time. I look around more and spot Will, Christina, Tris, and Al.

"I'm gonna go find Drew and Molly." Peter tells me and gives me a quick kiss before going off to find his two friends. I hurry over to my group of friends.

"There you are!" Christina exclaims and pulls me into a hug, which then turns into a group hug.

"Here I am." I say, my voice muffled by her shoulder. We all pull out for the hug and I grab Tris's hand for comfort as Eric and Max stand in front of a big screen.

"Here are your final rankings!" Max calls.

1. Tris
2. Lily
3. Uriah
4. Ember
5. Marlene
6. Lynn
7. Peter
8. Will
9. Christina
10. Al

There's more but they don't really matter to me. Drew and Molly didn't make it. I look around for Peter, Drew, and Molly. I finally find them sharing a small hug. I hug and congratulate my friends before hurrying over to my boyfriend.

"I'm so sorry." I say and give Drew and Molly a hug.

"It's okay." Drew replies. Molly doesn't respond. I pull out of the hug and Molly gives me a sad smile.

"Congratulations new members of Dauntless!" Eric calls over the loud cheers of the whole faction. Peter and I watch as Drew and Molly follow the other, now Factionless, initiates to pack and then leave Dauntless.

"I'm sorry about Drew and Molly, Peter." I say softly. He hugs me.

"It's fine. I still have you." He mumbles. I close my eyes and hug him back.

"Alright! Before you all leave tonight, I want you all to get into straight lines. We're going to give you a tracker. Just a precaution." I hear Eric say. Peter releases me and I move to get into a line in confusion. I look around and notice Peter disappeared. Soon enough, I get to the front and a woman with pink hair and quite a few piercings, sticks a needle into my neck and injects the tracker into me. I gasp in pain before leaving the line. I hurry over to Christina and Tris.

"That hurt." I mumble, rubbing my neck. Tris nods in agreement. We go to the dorm and go to bed.

--Time Lapse--

"Lily." A voice whispers. I groan and turn away from the voice.

"Lily get up right now." The voice whispers urgently. I blink and sit up. I yawn and rub my eyes. I stare at my boyfriend.

"What?" I yawn.

"Get changed into this. I have to get you out of here." He whispers and gives me clothes to change into. I look at him in confusion but go to the bathroom and get changed anyway. I go back out and Peter grabs my hand.

"Four disabled the cameras. I only have ten minutes to get you out." Peter tells me as he pulls me through different hallways. I just follow him. The train tracks come into view.

"Peter. What's going on?" I ask. As he brings me to the platform.

"Something very bad. Something to do with that injection. It doesn't work on Divergents. I didn't get injected because I blabbed my way out of it. But I'm getting you out of here for your protection." Peter tells me and gives me a quick kiss.

"Get on the train and get to Abnegation to get your family and anyone else you know somewhere safe. The train should have Ember, her parents, and her brother on it. I sent her to Candor about an hour ago." Peter tells me before running off. I begin to feel extremely panicked. I notice a train heading towards me. I begin to run and one the train catches up, I jump into the open door. I don't bother looking to see if Ember and her family is here. I just sit against a wall and think about what Peter had said to me. I just don't understand...
