This is the last chapter everyone! I got a request that I should do an epilogue but I don't really know yet. If I do write an epilogue, it probably won't be for a few days for I want to work on my novel and start my new fanfiction. Anyway, I give you the last chapter of Servant of the Lord.
I don't own Divergent.
Chapter 10
Tris woke up to find herself on a bed in a room. She had no idea how she got here for the last thing she remembered was being found by Tobias in Peter's house. Tobias! Tris thought sitting up but then regretted it. Pain ripped through her body and she bit her lip to keep herself from crying out.
"Easy," a voice said, placing a hand on her shoulder and then gently pushed her back. Tris looked up to see Tobias' blue eyes staring at her. "Tobias," she breathed out, lifting her hand up to touch his face. Tobias grabbed her hand and placed it on his cheek, smiling at her. "How did you find me?"
"I may or may not have threatened Eric about your whereabouts," answered Tobias.
"But…won't your father be mad at you?"
Tobias shook his head. "Actually, my father apologized to me. He told me that I didn't have to marry Lauren or Nita."
"Really?!" A smile appeared on Tris' face but it left as soon as it appeared. "That means you can marry whoever you want."
"Yeah, I can."
Tris nodded. "I'm happy for you. You can find the perfect girl for you."
"I already have."
Tears appeared in Tris' eyes but she willed herself to not let them fall. "That's great." She turned away from Tobias; she couldn't bear to look into his eyes. Tobias grabbed her chin and then gently turned her head to face him. He saw the tears forming in her eyes and worry etched in his face. "What's wrong, Tris?"
"You found the perfect girl for you so you don't need me anymore."
Tobias shook his head then gently ran his hand through Tris' hair. "Tris, the woman that I found is you."
Tris smiled at him then placed her lips upon his. Tobias returned the kiss, running his fingers through her hair. Tris wrapped her arms around Tobias' neck and tried to deepen the kiss but pain shot through her side, making her gasp in pain; Tobias broke away from the kiss. "I don't think you should push yourself; you need to rest."
"Will you stay with me?"
Tobias smiled then nodded. He got into the bed beside her and held her in his arms, rubbing her back soothingly. "Go to sleep, Tris. I'll fight off any bad dreams that you might have."
"With what?"
"With my bare hands, of course."
Tris chuckled then closed her eyes, letting sleep take her under.
As the next few weeks passed, Tris had been getting better and her wounds were healing but her mind wasn't. On some nights, nightmares plagued her dreams and she would wake up screaming; the images of Peter attacking her were fresh on her mind. Tobias was able to calm her down but he worried that the nightmares would be too much for her and she would break. However, Tris was very strong and didn't let the nightmares drag her down.
Also, Tobias had told his parents about Tris' background and how she was kidnapped from her home. He asked them if they could investigate this, to see if they could find Tris' family, and Marcus and Evelyn accepted. That very day, Marcus meet with the other Lords of Chicago and asked them to ask their people if anyone had a daughter taken from them six years ago. After two weeks of people asking around, no one had brought up anything of a girl being kidnapped from her home. Just as Tobias was about to lose hope, a family had come to them and said they had lost their daughter six years ago. They described the girl as having blonde hair and grayish-blue eyes. Tobias knew immediately that they were, in fact, Tris' family. He then arranged for them to meet with Tris at the mansion.
"Why am I being summoned to the main room?" Tris asked Tobias as they made their way down the hall.
Tobias glanced at her and gave her a smile. "It's a surprise."
Tris groaned. "Come on, Tobias. Can you at least give me a hint?"
"Nope." Tris sighed and they continued to walk towards the room. Once they got there, the two walked in to see Marcus, Evelyn, and a family standing there, talking. When Tris and Tobias walked in, the family stopped talking and stared at Tris. The father had short, dark blonde hair and brown eyes, with a hint of gray in them, and he was wearing a gray shirt with pants and shoes. The mother had medium length, brown hair with blue eyes and she was wearing a gray dress with sandals. A young man, probably about Tris' age, had short brown hair with brown eyes and he was wearing the same thing the father was wearing.
"What's going on?" asked Tris.
"Beatrice?" the mother asked, stepping towards her.
"Tris, this is your family," answered Tobias.
Tris stared at them with wide eyes then turned to Tobias. "You found my family?" Tobias nodded. Tris turned back to her family, staring at them. She was trying to remember them but nothing was coming to her. Then, Tris remembered the song she had sung a while back and started to hum it. The mother smiled, recognizing the tune she sang to her daughter, and started to lightly sing it. Tears came to Tris' eyes as she ran to her mother, embracing her in a hug. "I missed you, momma."
"I missed you too, sweetie," her mother said, hugging Tris tightly. Soon, the dad and the brother came over and embraced their daughter/sister in a hug.
"Why didn't you look for me?" Tris asked, after they had all stopped hugging.
"We did look for you, Beatrice," said the dad. "But we heard that you had been sold into slavery and by then, there wasn't really anything we could do. We tried to plead to get you back but people said it was hard for Abnegation to get people out of slavery."
"So I'm still a slave." Tris looked down.
"No you're not," Tobias said, producing a piece of paper.
"What's this?" Tris took the paper, reading it over.
"Your freedom."
Tris was speechless as she read over the paper. "How?"
"I bought your freedom. You are no longer a slave." Tris launched herself at Tobias, wrapping her arms around him. "Thank you." Tobias hugged her back. "No problem." Tris released Tobias then turned to her parents. They started talking and Tobias learned that the father was named Andrew, the mother was named Natalie, and the brother's name was Caleb.
Evelyn actually invited Tris' family to stay for dinner so they did. Natalie volunteered to help cook so her and Evelyn went into the kitchen to start cooking. Tris even went to help for she wanted to get to know her mother and see if she could remember some events from her younger years. After the food was made, everyone filed into the dining to eat dinner; which consisted of chicken, potatoes, and corn. Everyone filled their plates and then they started to eat, making conversation along the way. Even after they finished eating, no one would leave the table for they wouldn't stop talking. It wasn't until it the sun was almost down that Tris' family started to leave. Tris went with them, for she wanted to spend some time with her family, but promised Tobias she would come and visit him. Tris and her family then left the mansion to go back to her original home.
SIX MONTHS AND MANY DATES LATER…
People were gathered in front of the church, waiting for the newlyweds to come out. Only certain people were invited to the wedding so everyone else had waited outside. It was only when the church bells started to ring and people cheering inside was when everyone outside began to get excited.
The doors to the church opened and Tobias and Tris stood at the entrance. Tris was wearing a simple floor length, white dress with one inch white heels. Her hair was up in a bun and a veil was placed upon her head. Tobias was wearing a black tuxedo with black dress shoes and his hair was slightly gelled back. Everyone then started to cheer for them as the two made their way down the path to the carriage that awaited them. The couple got into the carriage and then waved to everyone as the carriage started to move away from the church. Once they had left the church, Tobias and Tris turned to look at each other. "I love you, Mrs. Beatrice Eaton," Tobias declared.
"I love you too, Mr. Tobias Eaton," replied Tris, smiling sweetly. The two then shared a sweet, but passionate kiss as the carriage continued its way down the road.
Sorry if the ending is a little cheesy but it was the best I could come up with at the moment. I hope you all liked this story and thank you to everyone who reviewed, favorited, followed, or even read my story. Again, I don't know if I'll write an epilogue but if anyone wants one, PM me and give me an idea. And those who are guests, you can leave a review if you want as well :)
Also, to anyone who voted for the story idea of a modern day Divergent story where Tris and Tobias switch lives, that story should be posted sometime next week. I have an idea of what the first chapter should be but I want to work on my novel for a bit and I also need to think of a title for the story.
Please review and tell me what you think of the story altogether. I'll be back in a week, bye :)
