Flower Crown ❀ (Divergent)

Fast

The lady who escorted Tris out of Jeanines death trap was in favt Tris' mother. She was a really fierce lady and I could tell she cared a lot for her kids.

It made my heart pang because I was jealous of Tris.

Until her poor mother sacrificed herself to guve Tris and I a running chance. Trauma ran through my body, all I could think about was switching my master power towards my baby and shut down. In a form of stasis. This unborn child was experiencing too much.

Tris' mother's last words to me was to defend my child and its world. Make it a better place for him/her. She had eagles eyes when it came to my pregnancy.

I really started to cry-run when Tris had no choice but to shoot Will dead. He had aimed too close to my stomach effectively ricocheting off the wall and into my arm.

We were losing too mamy people close to our hearts and I'm not sure I would survive this war because of it. I had to lay low. I couldn't run with a child in my stomach or out of it.

Tris was being strong for all three of us. Our hearts were racing as one. Two sisters joined by a common grievance.

I looked for the basement that Tris' mom told us to find, knocking exactly six times. I found Caleb, Tris' brother over there. She told me that he researched the simulation serum and found out that Jeanine was up to no good. I respected him for his honesty but something felt off with him; I couldn't place my finger on it. I genuinely felt unsafe around him, however I couldn't tell Tris that.

I noticed that Marcus Eaton was there, and Tris' dad along with other Abnegation refugees.

I was unfortunately left alone with Marcus Eaton, one of the best equipped nurses had ordered him to stitch me up. I was uncomfortable, but what could I do? This was my dear old pops. My second chance at a family. Marcus did as he was told, but he kept giving me these looks, as if he knew I was his daughter.

To be honest, the last thing I expected was my brother to be the legendary Four/Tobias Eaton. At least I knew that he was the only person that was nice to me. He was brother material.

"You knew?" I asked him with a bitter taste in my mouth.

"Yes." His voice was deep.

This was the first time I was officially meeting my father and it felt uncomfortable. My parents are the two most incompatible, vile people in the world!

"Why?" I breathed out heavily.

I was asking him why he never came to visit me on Visiting Day, why he never even allowed me to know, why he left me alone after my adoptive parents died, why he wasn't there.

"Your mother hid you from me. I couldn't even stand my own boy, and now I found out I have two Divergent kids. So much for protection. Tobias knew he had a sister as well but he never stayed for me to tell him who she was. He was so excited, afraid of me yes, but excited to know you." He snorted out.

My heart ached and pained. Why did things like this have to happen to me?

Tris explains the deal after she is patched up by her father: we have to destroy the computer at Dauntless HQ that is running the simulation. That's the way to make the sleepwalking Dauntless wake up.

So anyone that was willing to fire a gun went with Tris to Dauntless HQ, while the rest of the Abnegation hide out or ran for Amity. I would take one more risk before completely retiring for maternity leave. 

Our strike team consisted of Tris' dad, her brother, and Marcus. I still wasn't completely moved by his explanation to me. I was going for my brother. That was it. We took the train to Dauntless HQ and snuck in the back alleys. I knew these pathways well when I needed to get away from everything including Eric and just take a breather.
