HAPPY VISITING DAY! On comments, comment the faction you'd choose on your Choosing Day. Or comment the one that you determined from the Aptitude tests you took. I'm Dauntless 😏.

THANK YOU FOR 300+ VIEWS!

"Where did I get these ravens from? I'm guessing you know, Four," Bea says coldly, staring at me with the intensity she stares at the wall.

I nod.

"Why?"

"Caleb and your parents."

She sighs, staring out the window, "I miss them."

"Caleb's visiting today."

As if on cue, Caleb Prior runs up and hugs her.

"Tris! Are you okay?"

Bea's eyes widen at the name, and she quickly covers it. But I seen it. There's no difference.

"It's Bea now, Caleb."

Caleb's eyes brighten, "Like the name I called you when we were kids?"

Bea nods.

I turn towards Caleb. We're not really friends, but we don't really hate each other anymore. He's an acquaintance.

"Cheese and knife?"

"You're on!"

We race over to the Dauntless training room, Bea following closely behind.

Even with the targets, we use cheese. It's an inside joke with Caleb and I. The only one.

I grab one of the beginner knives, aim, and it slices the cheese into two.

Bea takes one, and I take the other.

We pop it into our mouths, laughing as Caleb gets the knife into the table.

He grumbles, and tries again.

I set down another cheese on my side.

"More cheese?" I offer Bea, holding out the food.

She nods, and pops it into her mouth.

Caleb's knife clinks into the table, but this time it drops.

He groans in frustration.

"Bea, can you do this? Your arm is better now."

I forgot to tell Caleb.

She shrugs, "No, I can't, but I'll try."

As she picks up the knives, I whisper into Caleb's ear.

He's surprised Tris made it out alive. He's happy his little sister isn't with me anymore. He's glad she's Bea now.

I was so not expecting that.

I tell Bea to try the target instead of the cheese.

She accepts gratefully.

As I expected, she throws three bulls-eyes.

Caleb groans, "HOW DO YOU DO THAT?"

We both smirk.

"Tris... Um Bea, go stand at the target."

Bea's annoyed at the Tris, but she accepts.

"Keep your eyes open."

"ARE YOU CRAZY?" Caleb's shrieking.

I throw the knife, and it lands right between her shoulder and bottom of her cheek.

She closes her eyes, then opens them as the next one comes sailing towards her head.

It cuts some of her hair.

Her squeezed shut eyes flutter open.

I'm going to take a risk, I have to.

I throw the last one, and it slices the top of her earlobe.

Bea's eyes widen, then she runs.

Okay... Okay... I MIGHT be Erudite... I'm actually Divergent... Shhhhh... I'm Dauntless, Erudite, and Candor.

WHY DID BEA RUN? Read more to find out...
