Allegiant (Four's Sister)

Chapter Five

I finish my shower and get dressed in a blue shirt and jeans. I tie my hair in a bun. I stare into the mirror. I have changed so much. I look a couple years older now. There are bags under my eyes.

The face looking back at me is almost recognizable. I walk out to be greeted by a kiss. I wrap my arms around Peter's neck and pull our lips away.

"Hey Peter," I say.

"Hey," he replies and kiss me gently.

"What's up?" I ask him.

"I got to back in the city," he informs me. I pull away.

"Why?" I shout. "You could get hurt."

"I'm going to get Uriah's family," he tries to calm me down.

"But you could get hurt," I whine. "And I can't come."

"Tris and Caleb needs you to do some things here."

"When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow," he informs me. I start walking off. Peter catches up.

"Are you mad?" he asks. I shake my head.

"Just be safe," I order him. He promises me. He pulls me into an empty room. We start kissing over and over again. He lightly kisses my neck. I slide off his shirt. He is perfectly built. He slides his hands up my shirt.

"I'll go as far as you want," he says. I kiss him more. He pulls out some blankets on the ground. I pull him down with me.

I listen to Peter's breathing. I feel safe with him by me. His arm is around me. We've been here all night.

"Are you comfortable?" Peter laughs.

"Yes," I state. We sit up. The blankets fall down.

"You're gorgeous," he exclaims.

"You're pretty much a god," I reply.

His rubs my bare arms.

"I need to get going," Peter says. He kisses me on the cheek. He gets dressed.

"Remember what I promised you," he whispers. He leaves me sitting there. What does he mean 'Remember what I promised you'? I get dressed and walk out. People are moving around everywhere.

"There you are." I turn to see Tris. She's in the same clothes that I saw her in last night. I raise an eyebrow.

"Keep your mouth shut and I'll stay quiet," she swears. "I need you to distract Caleb so I can save his life."

"As you wish," I joke. Caleb walks up.

"I need help," I state.

"I'll help," I offer. He leads me to a room. It is just shelves. I walk in.

"Where is this..." I get cut off by the door closing. I run to try to open it, but it's locked.

"Let me out Caleb," I yell.

"No," he shouts back. "I'm not letting anyone that I care about get hurt. I know Tris wants to take my place, but I won't let her."

"Idiot," I shout. I try to kick the door down, but fail miserably. I grab some needles and try to pick lock the door. That doesn't work. The door opens and Tris flies in. Then it closes and is locked.

"Caleb," she shouts.

"You're not getting hurt," he states. "I love you too much."

I can hear him running off.

"Maybe we could pick lock it," she says.

"Already tried. And tried to smash the door."

"How about with both of us?" We kick the door at the same time, but fail. I sit on the ground.

"What are you doing?" She asks.

"Waiting," I inform her.

"But..."

"We can't get out of here if we wanted to," I remind her. "And maybe Caleb's right."

She leans her head against the door.

"I never forgave him," she whispers. "And he is doing something that I should be doing."

"That's how I felt when Tobias left," I say. "I never have forgave him for leaving me with Marcus."

Tris sits by me.

"We'll get out," I promise.

"But not in time," she adds under her breath just barely loud enough for me to hear.
