Four

I aim all of my frustration on the people attacking me. It's fairly easy to knock out fools, who are under a serum, but I'm the one to talk. I hear Amnesia say something about someone behind me? I put up a fist and I hit a person in the middle of the face. I quickly turn around and knock him out. This reminds me way back when I was 18, but ya know, I don't really want to annoy you with my past.

I finish up the last mini-battle, rather quickly. The door opens up for more people under serums, but an idea pops into my mind to escape. I smirk. I grab the Immature Children by the wrists and dash out the metal electronic door. We walk down the hallways in the dark. I let go of their wrists and I walk quickly in the shadows.

"Four! WAIT UP!" Someone of the immature children group says. I faintly look back.

"You hurry up. I'm on a time-limit here. Now, common!" I say. I feel like my voice is now the same as I used to speak to the Initiates.

"But, Four, we're exhausted." Tyler whines. I'm paying more attention to their voices.

"Well, so am I. But that isn't stopping my determination, now is it?" I say.

"Maybe we should rest." Amnesia suggests. I'm not wanting to delay any more. I have to find my younger children. I know where Taylor and Tris are, but not the others.

"You guys can, once we get out of here, in this prison. I saved three.. Now, if you excuse me, I have to save my three kids." I say, my mind is racing so I can't think clearly.

"So, Four, who we just annoyed, has a heart... aww!!" Luke says. I shrug.

"I always did have a heart. It's just never visible to those who annoy me or I'm a trainer to. If you have seen me at home.." I say, my voice trails as I realize that I haven't payed much attention to my own family, but my work and I realize that I'm starving and tired and thirsty. I push it aside and keep moving. Adrenaline and Worry is keeping me moving.

"I've seen you at your house, Four, you're not all that nice, either." Tyler says. I barely nod. I feel a fist punch me in the side. I frown. No enemy would punch me there in the side, because they're all grown up and know battling tactics. I turn around, holding my breath and I see Lucy and Clara. They are both non-cloudy eyed. I let out a sigh of relief. They're not under a serum. Then, I notice something is wrong with their color. I pick them up, frowning and I keep moving and a little person bumps into me, I can only recognize the hair color anywhere! Christopher. I put down Lucy and Clara and hold their hands and I pick up Christopher.

"Wow, Four really is a Family Man... You owe me, Weston!" Luke says.

"Clearly I am. Lets' get out of here. And fast." I say. My voice is wavery, that means I'm about to cry. I clench my jaw and keep moving.

We reach the main place that we're staying at and I unclench my jaw, because my jaw aches. I walk into the room where Tris and Taylor are at. I put Christopher down on a bed and same with the twins. I first examine Chris, he is the littlest and he could be badly injured. I find no breaks or bruises or anything. He's all good. I then examine the youngest twin, Lucy, and I feel a slight break in her forearm. I set the bone and wrap it up in a cloth. She looks better, her color is back, her eyes are just misty with some tears. I then examine Clara. She has a lot of deep bruises, but nothing else. Who or what could have made the twins injured so badly? I think and try to mentally solve it. Eric and Mason screams the answer. I quickly walk back to examine Luke, he has some bruises on his wrist, probably from banging the Aluminum Chain on the wall. I then examine Tyler, nothing wrong besides the bullet mark. Lastly, I examine Amnesia, and she tells me that I'm weird for trying to help her. I just shrug it off and find nothing wrong besides split knuckles, from punching someone that hard. I look down at mine, and mine are worse than the Chasm thing I saved Tris from. Splits and bruises and redness. Oops. I walk fast to the bathroom and run the water and put my hands under the cold water, until the water runs clear again. I then dry them off with a ratty rag that was left in there. I quickly leave the bathroom and visit Tris. Taylor left and I fall asleep, sitting on a chair, holding Tris' hand.

Tris

I wake up, Tobias is holding my hand. I look at his knuckles and they're all split and bruised and red and cold. I move my hand, so I moved his hand and he looks up at me, waking up.

"Beatrice.. You alright?" Tobias asks, his eyes are full of concern.

"You know better than to call me Beatrice, but yes, I am alright. What about you?" I ask.

"You're right, I do know better. I'm doing fine, better now, though." Tobias says. He moves his hand so he's touching my chin to passed my ear. I lean my head into his hand and he smiles shyly. I haven't seen him smile in forever. I can see the worry in his face, he's getting worn down by it.

"Don't worry anymore! It's weighing you down." I say.

"How am I supposed to know? Abnegation don't look in the mirror, and nor do I plan to see a Marcus in the layers within." He says.

"Tobias... Stop, would you! Just because he's your father doesn't mean you are him, or Evelyn, or anyone, but you. You are you, and that is exactly who I love. You." I say. Tobias flicks a huge grin then he kisses me. I pull away from him and sigh. I look at him and he looks at me like I'm worth being looked to. I smile at him and I hug him and he hugs me back. I feel better, I can move around. I stand up and so does he. We walk together, to the main room.

"So the Tris is alright-ith." Amnesia says.

"Yes-ith, she is-ith" Luke says.

"Shut up-ith!" Tobias says, a little annoyed so I smack his shoulder.

"Calm down..." I say quietly to Tobias before I add, louder, "Yes, I'm alright. And I'm glad I'm better!" I grin.

"That's always good, right? I see that you and Four are better, now. Last time I saw he was all like--" Tyler starts before I gave him a dirty look. Well, I should say a 'Mom Look' as my kids always say.

"I don't like you being so tough and mask-like. It hides the good-natured person underneath the shell." I whisper to Tobias. He just nods and considers his response.

"Well, I wore the mask with you.. It took sometime, but the feelings were true. Now all you see are the sweet and abused and hidden parts deep within me.." Tobias whispers. I smile and kiss his cheek.

"And you just see the happier parts and the more helpful parts.." I whisper.

"I like the happier and helpful parts, it shows you're most-beautiful pieces that I find." Tobias whispers and kisses me. I kiss him back and then I hear a bunch of 'eewwwwss' and 'get a room!' comments. We stop kissing.

"Oh shut up Amnesia, Luke and Tyler. It's not like any of you guys kiss." Tobias sasses.

"Ooooh Sassy Four." Amnesia says as she snaps. I can't help it, but I bust out in laughter.

"You know, I don't really care of what an Immature Child thinks." Tobias says. The kids go into laughing fits before I can give him a dirty look. He looks down at me and grins.
