Just a Dream?

Chapter 6

     I wake to Christina shaking my shoulders. I have fifteen minutes to get ready for the day and get to the tracks. When I'm ready, Christina has returned and we practically run to the tracks while eating muffins. We make it to see the train coming fast. I run along with the train and feel Al lift me into the car. I wince. There is so much pain in my body from my fight with Peter. The train pulls up and stops under an awning. Thank God, I won't have to jump off. An Amity truck is at the fence and suddenly I hear "Beatrice?" and see Robert walking towards me. I am enveloped in a massive hug and become quite uncomfortable before he lets go. Molly starts teasing about my name and I stop Robert before he makes an even bigger deal about my situation than it is. He tells me that I could go back to Abnegation, but I don't want to. He has to leave and I walk away. I notice that it seems like the fence was made to keep us in, not keep something else out it, but push the thought from my mind as I see Four walking towards me from the guard he was talking to.

     "You have a knack for making very unwise decisions," he says. "no matter how small that conversation was." He places his fingers over my bruised eye and I take in a sharp breath and close my eyes, but his hand doesn't move. "If you'd just attack first, this wouldn't happen. You're fast. If you could get a few punches in before they know what's going on, you could win."

     "I'm surprised you would know that since you left halfway through my first fight."

     "It wasn't something I wanted to watch."

     "What's that supposed to mean?" I know Tris only thinks this, but I can't help speak it. Crap. I shouldn't have said that. He takes his hand away and clears his throat.

     "The train's almost here. We should head back."

     "Yeah. Sure." I watch him head back and for the first time, I actually notice his tattoo. Good going. I'm totally going to make people think I'm Divergent and I'm gonna die. Great.
