After Allegiant

Chapter 5

Tris

Tobias reluctantly agrees to return to the city to inform only a few people. I have to admit, I wanted to spray paint the outside's secrets on a build board. We leave tomorrow night. I'm packing the few essentials I brought with me.

Tobias

Tris has talked me into going back to the city. I'm surprised that she wants to go back. I know she wants to spread the outside's information, but people knowing that can- and probably will-lead to war. I have to keep her safe. I can't let her go spreading that around. We'll tell a few people for now (our close friends). Later I go to talk to her and see her in our room.
"Hey, Tris?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't spread this information to random people, okay? I just...don't want you to be in danger," I say.
"Oh Four, you don't think I'm that stupid, do you," she jokes.
"No, and don't call me that. I thought you were just brain dead," I tease.
She walks up to me and gives me a shove. I laugh under my breath.
"Seriously though, be careful who you tell," I warn.
She nods and then pulls me into another kiss.

Tris

I wake up screaming. I had another nightmare last night. This time Marcus was there instead of Caleb, and he was asking me about outside the fence. Tobias tells me it's time to go and we set off.

TIME LAPSE (A few hours)

We meet Zeke and Shauna in an old, abandoned building on the vacant part of the city. There there are less factionless guards. Zeke tells us to go get ready for Candor or Dauntless. Candor or Dauntless is the same thing as truth or dare, but I've never played it before. Figures.
So I get ready for the game, and Tobias walks in. (We're kinda sharing the same room.)
"Is that all you're gonna wear?"
"Um...I guess," I say, confused.
He explains to me that if you don't do the dare or truth, you have to take off 1 article of clothing not including shoes or socks. I blush at the thought.
I put on two tank tops, one short sleeve shirt, a long sleeve shirt, sweatpants, and a jacket.
We get to the place where Zeke told us to meet. There is Christina, Zeke, Tobias, Shauna, me, and.........
PETER!!!
"What is he doing here," I object.
"I invited him," replies Zeke.
We start with Shauna. She dares Zeke to let Christina give him a makeover. Shauna giggles as Christina drags Zeke into the bathroom to do his makeup. Peter asks me Candor or Dauntless. I say Candor because I do not want to do one of his dares.
"Okay, tell us how you feel about Four."
I knew it. Of course he would prod me of my relationship with Tobias.
"Fine," I say. I will not let him torment me.
"I love him." I look into his eyes. They are dark blue. Almost black. With that I pull him towards me and fit his lips to mine. I kiss him hard. Hard enough to make Peter gag. I hear Christina squealing with excitement in the background. I wrap my arms around him and run my hands through his hair.
"Okay, okay," Peter yells. "We get it."
I smirk.
When Zeke comes out, he has a pink dress on with a bow in his hair. He has eyeshadow, eyeliner, and powder on. We all laugh until our sides hurt.
We play for a while and then Peter asks Tobias to show us his tattoo. He only knows about them because his peeks out of his shirt sometimes. Finally, Tobias is only left with a simple shirt on and pants. Then Caleb walks in. I forgot he came with us. He joins us to prove he's not a "pansycake". Once he understands how the game works, he dares Peter something. I do not know what it is because he whispers it.
Peter stands up and walks over to Tobias. Then he TRIES TO TAKE TOBIAS'S SHIRT OFF to reveal his tattoo. He gets half of his shirt before Tobias yanks it down. Then he punches him in the stomach. Hard.
Then.
I.
Snap.
I slap Peter in he face so hard I hear skin hitting skin.
Then I realize something.
Caleb must have dared him to do that. He run up to him and punch him in the nose. Now there is blood streaming over his face. He falls down, and I kick him in the ribs.
"Don't ever even look at Four again," I scream.
I kick him hard again and Zeke drags me away form him. I grab Tobias and take him to the top floor.
"Tris, are you okay?"
"Yeah. I just needed to get out of there. Are you okay?"
"Yes. Nobody was facing my back so nobody saw it."
"Good.....I'm gonna get Caleb and Peter back."
"Umm, I'm pretty sure you did that when you kicked the life out Caleb," he says. "And you really slapped Peter hard."
"Are you kidding? Peter's as good as dead," I say.
He laughs. We walk back to our room and kiss and talk and eventually fall asleep.
