Chapter 4 : birthday bash

We sat in the middle of my living room . No one said anything . I broke the silence " who wants to play extreme truth or dare ?" The room up roared in a cheer . " where to " a mans voice called out behind me . I whipped around to see Eric . " the train , than the city , and finally ...." It took me a moment to think . " abnegation "
They looked at me surprised . " You want to play truth or dare in front of your faction "
" their not my faction anymore "
"Alrighty than " called Eric , " let's go "
" hey , Eric called behind me .
" what "
" he pulled out a little box and handed it to me . " happy birthday "
" it was a sucky one "
" that alright , we are gonna have a blast and you know it ok?" But I just walked off placing the box in my pants pocket .

The air was cold , everyone ( Chris , will , Caleb , Eric , and I ) stood at the play form awaiting the arrival of the train . Horns blew from the distance and the plat form began to shake . I began to run . The metal beneath my feet was slippery from the due . The front of the train flew by , I grabbed the first handle , and pounced my way in . I couldn't help but laugh . But tha laughter soon ended . Jeanine stood before me . A brief case in he r hands . " well , if it isn't the runaway stiff / coward . I didn't expect you to come back here .what a dumb move . "
The bottom of the train shook , the others where jumping on . I rose from the floor . My eyes not leaving hers . " what do you want ?"
She chuckled . A mans hands grasp me from behind , I turned abruptly my legs where swept under me . My father stood above me . His eyes wide awake , and a devilish fire burned . " dad " his hand flew from his side , close to hitting me but I dodged . My legs jolting so I jumped up . Catching my balance . I leaped away from him . Landing behind Jeanine before she could move I placed my arm around her neck , she chocked what little air she had left into the train car . My father froze . " Beatrice , don't "
" save it " . I drew my knife placing the blade right in the middle of the small bump , place on her stomach . " stop " she croaked . I released my arm a little allowing her to get some air . " promise me " , I said shakily ." Promise me you will leave me alone , get off at the next stop , and never come back " ,
" we will come back but not for you ." He stated not taking his eye off the blade . I pressed it into her skin deeper . She gave a little whimper . " stop . "
" why , so you can leave and enjoy the family you always wanted , ignoring the one family you didn't love . " I cried " I always knew you would leave , but I ignored it . Because you were my dad . You where supposed to love me "
" I am not your father . I never was and never will be . I took your mother in with you when you where little . Of you don't believe me ask your brother . The only reason he chose erudite was for one reason . And one reason only . " I began to cry . It wasn't true it couldn't be true . But she did look so much like him , Caleb . He had her nose and high cheek bones , and jaw line . My fathers eyes , and hair . I dropped the blade .
The train car came to a stop . And they walked off .
Eric busted though the door . " you ready ," but I didn't answer . I was still shocked at how I didn't notice the resemblances . I turned and nodded my head . He took my hand and helped me over the step . We all sat in a circle and it began .
Eric was the oldest so he started " will , truth or dare " a grimacing smile spread across his face ," dare " .
" I dare you to " he paused pulling out a bottle of Champaign popping it opn taking a couple swigs and passed it to him " take a couple swigs , and hang from the train handle for 10 seconds " .
" no way "
Since the game was my idea I got to choose the punishment for bailing . " you have to take off a piece of clothing " . I stated proudly . He grabbed the end of his shirt and pulled it over his head . " my turn " will chanted ." Tris , what was your former faction , and who do you like?" Nit even asking if I wanted truth or dare .Oh god , I thought to myself . Eric , elbowed him in the ribs . " I just want to see who she likes , ! , geez "
It took me a moment to think . " abnegation ...." What do I say ? . " umm...... " I know who I like its just that ........ He doesn't like me back . " pass " I said sheepishly . And reached for my socks . Will then placed his hand on mine . " no , you have to do the same thing I did , did you forget that rule " , truth was I didn't I was just hoping they wouldn't notice . I gave a small smirk , and pulled my shirt over my head . The guys stared for a moment before Eric rolled his eyes and popped them in the head . ' thanks ' I mouthed to him . But he just nodded . By the time we got off , Chris was in her undergarments , Eric had his shirt off ( which wasn't a bad sight , if you get what I mean ) . I couldn't help but laugh at my self . Will was in his boxers , and Caleb was the same . But me . Sadly . I was still was shirtless . And it was back to Eric .
" tris , I dare you to go into erudite headquarters , call them noses , and do something unpredictable " , " ok " .
We reached erudite headquarters , my stomach churned with butterflies . I walked into the building . The lady at the desk turned , it was the woman from the room , she was there when I was injected with the false death serum . " can I help you ? "
But I didn't listen I walked past her as if I was deaf .
" hey noses !" I screamed . And they turned their heads . " here's something interesting to look at . " , Eric hit the music , and Chris turned down the lights . Caleb held a flash light against the chandelier causing a flash of sparkles to cover the room . I grabbed the pole where their mail would come in . Pulling my self up , swinging my legs and arms around it . Eric cheered as well as the others. But erudite was not happy . Guards folded the room . I grabbed the rope and shot it throw the glass panels , pulling my self up , and the others did the same. We got to the top , then climbed down , the wind causing the building to feel as if it was leaning . The rest of the night was a blur .
