Rulebreakers

WHAT?!

Tyler

I try my best to let all of the information that Four gave me to sink in. Yeah sure I live on the streets, but why is Taylor so aggressive? I dunno. I take a deep breath in and try to adjust. It's so different.

I hear knocking at the door. Could be anyone.

"Come in!" I call. The door opens up and there is Four and Tris.

"Hi Tyler, here's the phone I owe you. I have to go. Talk to Tris, get to know her. Sorry I can't let you get to know me better, but ya know, business calls." Four says as he tosses me a phone and he walks out as soon as the last word left. I start to inspect the phone, slowly, to make sure there's no wire or anything. I honestly know anything of computers, I don't even know how to build one.

"Hi, I'm Tobi- I mean Fours' wife, Tris." Tris says. I nod.

"Hi. I'm Tyler. Should I be cautious of wires in the new phone?" I say. Tris just shakes her head. Probably saying no to the wire thing.

"So, what would you like to learn about The Eatons?" Tris asks.

"Hmm..... How is Caleb in this family?" I ask.

"Caleb is my brother. He's an Uncle to Taylor, Clara, Lucy and Christopher. How was he anything to you?" Tris says.

"He was my friend when I was in The Rulebreakers. Who is Marcus and Evelyn?" I say. Her expression goes dark and sad.

"Marcus Eaton and Evelyn Johnson are Tobi- Four, I mean. They're Fours' parents. Evelyn Johnson is the Dictator after Jeanine and before Eric. Marcus Eaton is his dad. Marcus disappeared for the better. Who were your parents?" Tris says.

"I- I- I don't know. They left me one day and I just..." My voice trails and I feel uncomfortable. I look to the ground before I add, "My last name is Weston." I see Tris nod, thinking.

"Edward and Myra?" Tris asks. I shrug my shoulders. She hands me a picture. I look like a mix of them. Myras' eye color and hair color. Edwards' toughness. I'm not tough, at all. I'm a coward and a chicken for doing anything. I shift uncomfortably. I feel like she's reading right through me. I clear my throat.

"I think I need to be alone. Thanks for talking to me, Tris." I say. She nods, be she doesn't leave. She just sighs and says, "I'm so sorry about what happened to you, Tyler. You aren't a coward for finding out who you are. It's what's in your heart that matters. You should take advice from Four. He knows everything better than I do." Tris says. I nod and she leaves. I think of how much of a fool I have been. I think of what she said. She means what she had said. Brilliant advice, brilliant understanding, even though she doesn't. I close my eyes and drift to a sleep.

Tris

Something is wrong. I can feel the tension in the air. Tobias is always at the computer in 'The Cave' and Taylor has been all over. I tried talking to Tyler. He's a nice boy, just has a lot of flaws and confusement. He doesn't even know who his parents are... I need to talk to Tobias to see if he knows what is going on with Eric. He is the same and all, just... stricter? He always loves the smell of blood, like a shark, and always wanting a fight. If he wants to fight, he can fight Tobias. Tobias has fought him before.. Tobias won, but he got scared. I mean, who can really blame him. But, then again, Marcus is out of the picture. We don't even SEE him.

I walk into the cave and knocking before I came in.

"Tobias, something is up with Eric.." I say.

"No answers right now, sorry Shurlock." Tobias says, sassing me. I sigh in frustration.

"Tobias! I wasn't acting like that! I was just... UGH. Never mind. I'm not talking to you while you're in this mood." I say and shoot him a dirty look.
