I Promise {Divergent - Caleb Love Story}

Candor Or Dauntless

"Do you think we should wake her?" A familiar voice asked, putting an end to my dreamless slumber.

"I think you should." A male answered, unaware that I had already been awoken.

"Why me?" The female voice questioned him as I continued to lay silently with my eyes shut, too drowsy to open them.

"Because I don't even know her." He stated, trying to keep his voice as low as possible.

I fluttered my eyes open before sitting up slightly, making them jump back slightly from shock that I was no longer asleep.

"You're awake!" The girl who I recognized as Savannah exclaimed, a mixture of surprise and joy in her tone of voice and facial expression. "Now you can play Candor or Dauntless with us!"

"I said I'm not playing, remember?" I reminded her, rubbing my eyes slightly. "What time is it?"

"Seven o'clock." She beamed at me, looking down at the white, electric clock placed on the white, wooden bed-side table. "Everyone's already started playing so we can just slip right in."

"Fine." I sighed, hauling myself out of bed. "But I'm definitely not stripping."

"You won't have to if you complete the dares and answer the questions truthfully." The boy stated as we stalked out of the room, into the corridor. He had dark bruenette hair which covered the upper part of his dark green eyes and slightly tanned skin.

I trailed behind them as they paced down the corridors towards where the game was being held. We continued walking until we stopped outside an unfamiliar room. The male, who I had now learned to be Fernando, knocked the white wooden door before Cara allowed us access. She glared at me as she held the door open, allowing us to step inside.

"I thought you weren't playing." She growled, glaring at me.

"I wasn't until now." I admitted, taking a seat on a baby-blue swirly chair.

I analyzed the room, trying to make mental notes of my surroundings until Cara decided to start the game. I noticed Caleb staring at me from in the corner but as soon as I acknowledged him with a smile, he instantly began to stare at the ground, just like always. I let out a sigh before turning my focus to Cara, who was staring directly at me.

"Caitlyn, Candor or Dauntless." She questioned me, sitting cross legged on the wooden floor, leaning against a metal bed-frame. Her voice was sickeningly sweet which made me feel slightly queasy for what was yet to come. Then again it can't be that bad, can it?

"Candor." I replied, convincing myself it was the safest option.

She sat there for a brief moment, biting her bottom lip as a small smirk began to form on her lips. I tried not to show panic as I sat watching her menacing smirk begin to increase by the second. 

"What's your biggest fear?" She questioned me as everyone turned to face me.

I bit my bottom lip for a few moments whilst I considered whether or not to reply. My biggest fear is Callum when he's angry or drunk but I don't think I tell her that, it could arouse suspicion about my life before I officially transferred. Plus, she knew Callum so I don't want her to know what kind of things he did.

"You don't have to answer that." Caleb piped up from near the corner of the room, causing everyone to turn their attention towards him. I glanced at him, feeling a mixture of relief, joy and slight confusion, due to the fact he'd managed to deflect attention away from me so I had time to think, as well as sticking up for me. However, it made me question why he did it. I mean, why would he try and defend me, after ignoring me for the past four years? Maybe I'm over-thinking this too much.
