Faction Center: Dauntless High

Chapter 5: Dear Beatrice

I wake up in the morning in a bed that's not my own. I don't know why I'm here, but I quickly remember when I see Four come around the corner.

"good morning beautiful." He says to me.

"Hey." I reply, and remember about Christina. Oops. We were supposed to have a sleepovers last night. Well, she'll be angry...

"How'd you sleep?" He asks.

"With you? better than ever." I smiled. "How about you?"

"Fine." He smiles back. "Before you forget, you should probably go home. It's not that I want you to leave, It's just that you move into a dauntless building, and, you need to get your bags."

"Oh okay. Thanks" i reply. "Can I move in here?"

"Actually, I was wondering that myself. Technically, you're not supposed to, but I could convince them to let you move in to the room right next to me, which has a door that connects my room to yours. All we need to do is unlock it and we have a huge room together, and privacy when we want it."

"Smart. Well, I should go grab my stuff real quick, and move in. How much to pay?" I ask

"Students get rooms free or for a low cost."

"Isn't it you're last year for free?" I question,

"Yes, but I can pay. I'll get a job, I'll get a-" I cut him off with a kiss.

"It's okay, I'll pay. I'm practically rich!" I say.

"No, tris you don't have to-" I cut him off with another kiss.

"I will, and that's final." I say stubbornly.

I kiss him on the cheek while he pouts, and leave to go grab my stuff.

When I get home, i am greeted by an angry Christina.

"WHERE WERE YOU!?!?!" she yells like a lunatic.

"With Four." i state simply.

"Did you sleep with him?" She asks, calming down a bit, her voice down to a small yell.

I nod. "But we didn't... you know... do anything... but sleep..." I say awkwardly.

"Oh ok." She seems okay with that.

I step inside, and see a note. I open it up;

Dear Beatrice,

We are so sorry, but we had to leave. It isn't safe for us here. They almost found us. You should be fine, you have your friends. As long you stay away from the Erudite, you should be fine. Don't trust those who don't trust you, and be careful in deciding who trusts you. Don't even trust caleb. He is no longer good.

You are dangerous, therefore you are a target. We will be back another time, we promise.

Be careful. We love you.

-mom and dad

Just then caleb comes barging in through the front door with...
