Resurgent

Part 13

Somehow I find the courage to walk up to their door and nock. In takes them a minute to answer but when they do they don't look that shocked to see me. Like they knew I would come, they were expecting me.

"Why is it your place to tell me why Lynn said what she did?"

Four looks surprised at this remark, while Tris looks distressed.

"You can come in." Tris says in a much more sincere voice than her usual instructor yell.

I walk through the door and make my way to the couch in the living room. Tris sits with Four on the love-seat across from me.

"What is Tris short for? It obviously isn't your real name." I state

She looks at me, then at Four, and back at me. Only after she is sure she should answer she speaks, "Beatrice."

I was taken aback, that was my aunts name, could it be possible? "You were abnegation." I say more as a statement than a question, I already know the answer.

"We both were." She responds

"Caleb Prior is your brother."

"Yeah...unfortunately," she mutters so quietly I almost didn't catch it.

I hesitate, she's my aunt. All this time I was being trained my my aunt and uncle. "Your my aunt and uncle?"

"No, Will, Caleb isn't your father." Four interjects before Tris can say anything.

"What? How do? What are you talking about? Of course he's my father. He's the only family I've had since I was little."

"And I'm guessing your father told you this?" Tris has fallen completely silent.

"Yeah, a long time ago."

"Will can you explain something for me?"

"Maybe. Depends what that something is."

He sighs, "Explain why you look like Tris."

"She's my aunt we are related so some of my grandparents traits must have skipped Caleb but I did inherit." I say like its the most obvious thing in the world.

"Okay, now one more thing." he says "Explain why you resemble me."

I don't have a response to this one.

"I can answer that one but I think you already know."

He must be overestimating me because I have no idea what he is trying to say.

"The reason you were told your mother was dead was because you were ripped from her life as a baby."

"How? Why do you know this? Is my mom still alive? Do you know where she is?"

"I do know where she is," He takes Tris's hand in his, "I also know where your father is, and he isn't in abnegation."

"Where is he then? Where is she?"

"Sitting right across from you."
