OH MY GOSH! A NEW STORY! I CAN'T EVEN! AND ALSO, HELLO MY FACES WHO READ MY OTHER STORIES! I'M GLAD THAT YOU COULD MAKE IT HERE!
PETERS POV
We stood outside the Amity gates. They were tall, dark and locked. I cradled my bloody arm that Tris had shot to my body.
I saw Four walking up to the gates keypad.
"Let's hope the Erudite didn't think to change this combination," he said as he typed in some numbers. Then, the gate opened.
"How did you know that?" asked Caleb. He sounded like he was about to choke on his words, the burst out sobbing. But, I didn't blame him, what with both of his parents being dead.
"I worked in the Dauntless control room, monitoring the security system. We only change the codes twice a year," Four said.
"How lucky," said Caleb.
We walked through the gate in a small group. The older man, who I found out was Marcus Eaton, the leader of Abnegation, kept a hand on my good shoulder to support me.
I could see light coming from the Amity compound. Before we reached there, we walked through to orchard. Dark branches were silhouetted against the sky, I could smell rotting apples.
Another bolt of pain went through my arm. I tried not to wince. Next time Tris says that she'll shoot me, I'd believe her. I couldn't believe that I'd thought that she was okay before.
We reached the entrance and Marcus opened the door.
Sitting at a desk was none other than the leader of Amity, Johanna Reyes. She was very hard to forget, because of the scar stretches in a thick line from just above her right eyebrow to her lip, making her blind in one eye and giving her a lisp when she talks. I think that she would have been a beautiful woman before she got that scar.
"Oh thank goodness," she said, about to embrace Marcus, but instead, the just touched his shoulders. "The other members of your party got here a few hours ago, but they weren't sure if you had made it," she said, some other Abnegation members must have come to Amity as a safe house.
She looked at the rest of us.
"Oh my," she said, her eyes rested on my blood soaked shirt. "I'll send for a doctor. I can grant you all permission to stay the night, but tomorrow, our community must decide together. And, they will likely not be enthusiastic about a Dauntless presence in our compound. I of course ask you to turn over any weapons you might have."
Four handed over his gun, but Tris didn't give Johanna her concealed weapon. We might have needed it later.
"My name is Johanna Reyes," she said, and extended her hand. A Dauntless greeting.
I as much as the Amity freaked me out, I was always a little impressed by how considerate and aware of the other Factions customs they were.
"This is T—" Marcus started, Four stopped him.
"My name is Four," he said. "This is Tris, Caleb, and Peter."
"Welcome to the Amity compound." she said and she smiled crookedly. "Let us take care of you."
Some Amity led me to the hospital ward. I was too tired to freak out about it. And anyway, I needed to get rid of that stupid fear.
They put me on a table and injected some numbing thing into my arm. I could feel the knife digging through my shoulder to get the bullet out. I didn't mind, though, as long as it was coming out.
Afterward, they put some kind of salve on the wound and bandaged it.
"Don't put too much strain on it, okay?" said one of the nurses kindly. I nodded.
She led me down a hallway to a bedroom. I didn't even think to change out of my blood soaked clothes, I just flopped down and was asleep in a matter of seconds.
CALEBS POV
Johanna led us to the cafeteria, where the surviving Abnegation were staying for now. I saw Susan and some of our other neighbors there. They greeted us, trying not to cry. My tears had stopped flowing, but I started tearing up when I saw my old Faction. Not here, Caleb.
I couldn't believe that both of my parents were dead. I couldn't believe that I was working for Erudite and a spy for Abnegation. My mother told me to spy on the Erudite to figure out what they were planning and Jeanine wanted me to help her develop serums to destroy Divergents. I didn't believe what Jeanine was doing was right thing, so I would be loyal to Abnegation and I would have pretend to be loyal to Jeanine.
Susan walked up to me. "Caleb, how are you?" she asked, politely.
"I'm fine, thank you. How are you?" I said, my Abnegation habits coming back to me.
"Fine, thank you," she said. It was sort of comforting, talking and acting like an Abnegation.
"Caleb! You're not dead!" called a female voice. I turned to see my friends from Erudite coming towards me. They had hidden in the safe house with me. We all dropped out of Erudite initiation when we figured out what Jeanine was doing, then we went to Abnegation to tell them about Erudite wanting to over throw Abnegation's government.
I turned back to Susan. "Those are my friends form Erudite," I told her.
I looked at my friends. "Of course I'm not dead," I said. "And also, this is my friend from Abnegation, Susan."
They all said a chorus of 'hi's'.
"Susan, these are my friends, Meg, Sunny, Luke, Daniel and my girlfriend, Stella."
"Hello," she said, nodding to them.
All of my friends were keeping a happy demeanor. I wondered if they could see the tear tracks on my face or could see my red eyes. They probably could. I bet they were trying to keep a good mood for my sake.
We stood there a bit awkwardly, with Susan looking at her feet, me trying not to cry again and my other friends looking around the room.
"Hello people of Abnegation," called a voice. I saw an Amity man standing at the front of the room. "Some of us will give you all a place to sleep. We're sorry that it took so long."
Some Amity people began leading us to the bedrooms. I saw Stella talking to a red-haired Amity girl, who I assumed was one of her sisters. Her sister had a look of horror on her face. Stella was probably telling about Erudite's plan.
I walked into a room, fell into a bed and finally allowed myself to cry.
SO THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS MIGHT MBE A BIT BORING, BUT ONLY THE FIRST FEW! I PROMISE! IT WILL GET INTERESTING! SO HOW DID I DO? REVIEWS PLEASE! STAY PIEFACEINGLY!
