Divergent Love

Chapter8

The next morning the cuts were announced. George was cut as well as three dauntless borns I don't know the names of.

Everyone else seems pretty happy and cheerful and well in celebration.

"This won't last long" I say to Tobias.

"What won't?" He asks.

"This celebration!" I say. "There is 13 initiates left."

"3 of them will leave then." He says.

"Yeah, I wonder who it will be."

The initiates have a day of today. It is also the day when the dauntless borns jump of the building. I remember the first time I did it. When Zeke strapped me into the sling and pushed me off. It was the first time I really felt like I belonged here and that everyone else excepted that.

"I'm guessing you won't wanna go today?" I ask Tobias.

"Not really, but you can if you want." He says.

"No we need to spend a day together not training initiates." I reply.

"What do you wanna do?" He asks

"We could go to that special place?" I ask.

"The rock?" His eyebrows raise. I nod. He grabs my hand and pulls me to my feet."Good idea!" He whispers. "I'll meet u there in 15 minutes I just need to run back to the apartment!" He adds. He kisses me on the cheek and walks in the opposite direction from me in the direction of our small yet cosy apartment that we call home.

I get to the rock precisely 15 minutes later, I sit and wait for him to arrive wondering what he needed to go back to the apartment for. I hear his footsteps before I can hear him walking down the path before me.

"Why did you have to go back to the apartment?" I yell into the mist. He doesn't reply or make a sound but the footsteps keep getting closer and the pace quickens. I look round the side of the rock and say "Tobias?" Pain hits me before I can see who punched me in the face. I try to stand up but I feel dizzy from the impact of the punch. I try to scream but a hand covers my mouth and a black cloth covers my eyes blocking my vision. I remember the last time this happened to me, back when I was an initiate when Peter, Drew and Al all attacked me. And Tobias saved me. He saved me last time will he be able to save me again. I scream into my captives hand trying to make any kind of noise that someone may hear, but were deep in side the chasm there is no chance of anyone finding me. I may as well just think I'm dead.
