You and I

Chapter 1: Race against the clock

I see my name in the top spot.

I came first.

I can't believe it.

I look down the list and find that all of my friends have made it into Dauntless as well.

"Congratulations, Tris." Christina says as she hugs me over the table.

"Thanks. You too." I reply, happy that I will have my friends with me.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn around to find Tobias smiling at me.

I stand, smiling at him as well.

"You think a hug would give away too much?" He asks.

"You know, I really don't care." And I kiss him, forgetting everyone, and everything, around me. Around us.

When I pull away I find everyone staring at us, mouths agape.

When I say everyone I mean, EVERYONE.

I look down, blushing.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Christina is the first who is able to speak.

I give her an 'I'll talk to you later' look.

"Tris, I need to talk to you." Tobias whispers in my ear.

I nod and he takes my hand, leading me out of the cafeteria and down some paths.

"I'm proud of you, Tris." He tells me on the way.

"Thanks."

We stop outside of a door I don't seem to recognise.

He opens it and I see a bunch of computers around the room, no one is in here, though.

"Where are we?" I ask.

"The control room. I need to show you something, important."

He leads me to a computer and we sit down. He starts typing things on the keyboard and it isn't long before a file appears on the screen. He clicks on the file, opening it.

I see plans.

War plans.

"What are they?"

"You know when you went to Erudite and you told me your brother said that they might be running the government soon? Well, he's right. Erudite are teaming up with the Dauntless leaders to put the Dauntless under simulations so they go and attack Abnegation. You know the 'trackers' you were injected with after your fear landscape?" I nod. "Those are what will make every Dauntless go to Abnegation and kill them. They are really control serums, serums that allow them to control whoever they want. They will activate at seven tomorrow morning, so we have twelve hours to stop them or the Abnegation will die. But it obviously won't work on you if you're Divergent. Meaning they can find out which Dauntless are Divergent, kill them, and get the other Dauntless to kill the Abnegation."

"What are we going to do?"

"Well, I have to find a way to stop the serums from activating first. I can find a way of doing that because I also stole the computer programme that is activating them. You can help. But that is the first thing we have to do. Then we have to get a bunch of people together, show them the plans we found. Then we can get the leaders involved, Max, Eric and Jeanine are the main three, but the other Dauntless and Erudite leaders are involved too. Then we have good grounds to execute them and find new better leaders for both factions."

"Okay, but can I ask you something?"

"You just did, but go on."

"Are you Divergent, too?" I ask that quietly just in case anyone is watching.

"Yeah."

Then we get to work. Trying to find ways to stop the serum from working. Trying to stop the Dauntless from killing the Abnegation, my parents. Trying to stop them from finding out the Divergents, me and Tobias, and whoever else is too.

After five hours of trying I am just about ready to give up but Tobias stops what he's doing and something happens to the screen. The codes that make the serum work disappear.

"What happened?" I question, dumbfounded.

"We did it. The codes are gone, meaning the computer programme is gone, meaning the serums can't work." He says, smiling.

He wraps his arms around me and I put mine around him.

We did it.

The Abnegation aren't going to die. My parents aren't going to die.

The Divergents in Dauntless aren't going to be found. They aren't going to die. We aren't going to die.

We stay like that for a little while before he puts the files on his memory stick and we leave the room, hand in hand.

He leads me to an apartment where I can hear loud music.

He opens the door without knocking and I can see a party is going on. People are dancing and drinking.

He leads me over to someone I recognise as Zeke, someone I met whilst zip lining. He whispers something in Zeke's ear and the music stops. Zeke turns it off.

He tells everyone to get out but a few people he names. These people include Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Shauna, Christina, Will, Tori, Bud, Lauren and some people I don't know, they are most likely friends with Tobias from initiation or something.

"Right, so some of you may already know this, but for those of you who don't: Erudite were planning on using Dauntless to attack Abnegation." Tobias starts but he's cut off by Will.

"How?"

"The 'tracker' you were injected with after your fear landscape, it isn't a tracker. It's a control serum that allows them to control people to do what they want them to do, unless you're Divergent, then it wouldn't work and they'd find out who you are, and kill you. They were going to use that to make you go to Abnegation and kill everyone there. However, Tris and I were able to wipe the programme the serum was run by. It was going to activate at seven tomorrow morning, but it won't now as we have wiped the programme that makes it work. So we don't have to worry about that anymore."

"What do we have to do now?" Shauna asks.

"Well, we have to arrest the people who were involved in the plan. I have the plan on my memory stick, I stole it from Max's computer after Tris went to see her brother in Erudite and he said that Erudite might be running the government soon. If this plan went ahead without anyone stopping it, that would have been true and we would be one faction down."

"Who are involved?" Someone I don't know says this.

"As far as I know it's only the leaders of Dauntless and Erudite. If we get them to Candor we can put them under truth serum to see if anyone else involved, and arrest them also."

"How are we going to arrest the leaders?" So many questions.

"I don't know, but we need you guys, and a plan. Maybe some other people as well."

We sit for two hours coming up with a plan before we prepare it and put it into action.

I learn the names of the people I didn't know.

There is Luke, James, Amar and George.

So there are sixteen of us.

We split into two groups of eight.

Tobias, myself, Christina, Amar, Bud, Shauna, Uriah and Lynn on one side. We are going to stay in Dauntless and arrest our leaders.

Zeke, Tori, Marlene, George, Will, Luke, James and Lauren on the other. Those are going to Erudite to arrest their leaders.

We are going to use a serum that knocks out anyone in the room, though we are going to wear masks obviously. We are going to tie them up, put them in vans, and take them to Candor for a trial.

Tobias calls the leader of Candor, Jack Kang, so he can get some cells ready and tell him what is going on. Then we all get geared up with masks, guns, knives and other weapons. Zeke has some of the serum already because of a game he plays, he needs to be prepared for anything.

Both groups take some serum and we split up.

According to Tori and Bud, Dauntless and Erudite both have leaders' meetings around this time and they last a while. Tori was from Erudite and has a friend there who knows when all the leaders' meeting are, because she told Tori. Bud knows because one of his friends is an ambassador for Dauntless and he knows when the meetings are.

When our group arrive outside the meeting room we find that the door is slightly ajar. Great.

Tobias shakes the serum and crouches down, pouring the liquid through the gap, into the room.

It turns into a light smoke as soon as it touches the floor and it spreads through the meeting room, we watch through the crack as people fall asleep, some do actually fall to the floor. I see Max and Eric sleeping and laugh quietly.

We stopped them.

We barge in and find all the leaders of Dauntless sleeping peacefully.

We tie all of their hands behind their backs and drag them out of the room and out of the back exit of Dauntless that no one uses. There is a truck waiting for us. Tobias, who is dragging Eric, opens the back door of the truck and throws him in.

I put in one of the female leaders.

Once all of them are in Tobias and I get in the front, him in the drivers' seat and me in the passengers' seat. The others get in the back to make sure no one wakes up. We drive to Candor in silence. Happy that we managed to stop the leaders' plan.

…

We are all in Candor now, waiting for the prisoners to wake up. They are all in cells, the leaders from Erudite and Dauntless.

The news of the trial has spread through the city and people from Dauntless, Abnegation, Candor, Amity and Erudite are here to witness it.

I see my parents in the crowd of Abnegation and it takes a lot to not go over there and wrap them both in my arms. Happy that they aren't gone.

I see my brother in the Erudite crowd and he looks angry.

Jack Kang enters the room and stands next to the chair in the centre of the round structure we are in.

"The prisoners are awake so it is time to start with the interrogations. Thank you for those of you who brought them here. I have seen the plans and I understand that this could have been very dangerous had it not been stopped. So thanks. I will show the plans, for extra proof for you all at the end of the interrogations, but let's begin.

The lesser known leaders are the first to come up. They just talk about the plans and why they wanted to help with this. They answer truthfully under the truth serum, obviously. But they are guilty.

Then Eric comes in. He tells the truth in a brutal, fierce, angry way. When asked if there are any other Dauntless involved in the plans, he says no. So does Max.

Then it's Jeanine's turn. She answers in her usual tone. Firm. Polite. But a slight bit of anger is evident.

When asked if anyone in Erudite is involved in the plan she answers, "Caleb Prior."

Hey Ravens, how are you?

So this is another idea I thought up.

Hope you like it.

I will update again as soon as I can.

Please review!
