Emergent (Divergent 4)

Tris

Chapter 8

I wake up on Tobias's chest, thinking I slept with Tobias, I overcame my fear. His eyes are open, and I bet they have been way before mine were. "Good morning, sleeping beauty." I laugh, saying,"You didn't have to stay here. You could have left." He brushes his hand through my hair, and lightly traces my lips with his fingers. I kiss him, and he says,"I couldn't wake you up. And besides, you're cute when you sleep." I blush, and he must have noticed, because he starts to laugh.

"We need to get up and train the initiates." Tobias still has his eyes locked on mine. I grumble, wishing we could stay here all day. After training the initiates, Christina and I have to go find a wedding dress. I stand up, and put my instructor clothes on. Looking at Tobias, I can tell he doesn't want to do this anymore than I do. "Come on, Tobias. Let's just get this over with." He laughs, and we run down to the training rooms together.

When we get there, the initiates are just arriving. The fights begin today, so Tobias and I just have to write down who won and who lost. The first fight is Drew, the first jumper, and Natalie, the last jumper.

Drew must think he can easily handle a girl or he is just terrible at fighting. Natalie punches his nose, causing it to bleed. Furious, Drew elbows her in the neck causing her to fall. She tries to get up, but he kicks her in the gut, and Drew wins the fight.

The next fight is Tony and Lily. They are very evenly matched, when one swings the other dodges. Finally, Lily punches Tony in the temple, and she falls on the ground, passed out.

After all the fights are over, I find Christina and we got looking for wedding dresses. At the store, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of different kinds of dresses. We look at dozens, and I finally find the perfect one. It has one strap, hanging off my shoulder so you can see my tattoo. The dress is thin, silky, and very easy to move it. I finally found it, the perfect dress.

I meet Tobias back in my room,many he asks,"What dress did you get?" "You already know, you can't see it until the wedding night." He gives me a begging look, and I start to laugh.

I yawn, and go lie down. Tobias joins me, smiling and we kiss. "I can't wait for the wedding." I smile, thinking only six more day until I'm married to Tobias. Six more days until the best day of my life. Six more days, six more days. With pleasant thoughts, I fall to sleep in his arms.
