Emergent

Chapter two

David POV:

"Ah good you're awake" I say as I see Tris in deep disbelief at the realization that she was not really dead. I can't say I blame her. "What's going on?" She says surprisingly calm. "You were never really dead" I respond, quicker than I should have "I faked it". Her eyes widen and a strong mix of anger, curiosity, and sadness creeps across her face. An intense scowl covered in tears. "Where's Tobias?" She asks "and how long have I been here?". I almost pity how he's still the first thing her mind jumps to. "You've been here for two and a half years" I say " and I have no information on the Eaton boy except that he moved back to Chicago and is learning to become a politician". I sincerely doubt he is still hung up on her, of course I also thought it was impossible for a GP and a GD to fall in love. "And now you will be experimented on until you are of no more use to me". "And when will that be?" she says this trying to disguise her fear. Badly I might add. "Probably when your body gives out or if your genetic makeup somehow changes so you aren't divergent anymore. Which is almost impossible." She thinks for a moment and starts pulling on the chains. Its no use, those are steel chains, no one could ever break through those. I decide to give her some time to process all of this and I leave.

Tris's POV:

He leaves. I decide to search for an exit. Only two. The one David used and a window that I could possibly reach if I could just slip out of this left arm restriction. I look at the chain, the cuff, and the area where it attaches to the wall. Now I think back to a time when things almost made sense. The dauntless taught me a lot of things, but this wasn't one of them. I don't know how to get out of this but I know I can. I have to. For Tobias. Two years? I'm 18 now. I shake my head and try to assess the situation, when I hear something outside.
