The Other Factions
Beatrice, that was her name. Beatrice Prior. She is with someone else. I gasp.
It's Four!! My old instructor!!
I rush up to them.
"Four!! Hi, what's up?"
Four looks up, startled. "Nera!"
"Tobias, who's this?" Beatrice asks, motioning to me.
Tobias?
"I'm Nera. You must be Beatrice."
She smiles. "You know me?"
"Yeah, from the Choosing Ceremony!"
"Oh, cool! Anyway, see you around Nera. Dauntless are staying here for a while, you know."
"Yeah, that's awesome! Anyway, see ya round!"
I turn away from her, and then thinking again, I turn back.
"What was that bit about Tobias??"
I am lying on my bed when I hear it.
A gunshot.
Suddenly I open my eyes and spring out of bed.
Jo and the others have heard it too.
We run to the canteen, where we heard it coming from.
I stop.
And scream.
Erudite are raiding the place, and they are looking for any Dauntless. I hold my breath as one walks up to Four - Tobias - and studies him menacingly. Next he looks at Beatrice.
No! I think as she scowls at him.
Wrong move.
The canteen bursts into chaos.
Gunshots, screams, sirens everywhere.
I run to my dormitory and don't come out for a long time.
