Faction before Blood

Chapter 5

I haven't found Tobias yet and it's been nine days. I don't know where he could be all this time, and how I wouldn't find him. But the time that I haven't seen him, no one noticed my sprained wrist, which is good, because I've been doing a good job at hiding it.

"Want to go get lunch now? My stomach keeps talking to me" Uriah says and walks to me and Marlene's bunk. Me and Marlene chuckled at his complaint.

"Okay Uranus" Shaunna said as she started to walk out the dormitory, we all followed.

The halls were dark and silent, like always. But after a few minutes I heard a faint sound of voices. "You okay, Bella?" Marlene asks.

"Yeah" I say looking around. She miss then we finally make out way to the cafeteria. "You know what, I left my... my... my coat in the dorm. Save me a seat" I say to Marlene and she once again nods.

I walk fast down the halls and I heard the voices again. They kept getting louder and louder every time I made a turn. Finally, I make it to a dead end and I see Tris and... Tobias. I should've known. They start talking about running away. Running where? Why?

"Do you see what they have there? Do you know what we're loading up in the trucks and stocking up in dauntless? Tobias I do" Tris says, her eyes watering. "They're going to use that stuff on us so we can kill Abnegation."

"I know!" Tobias yells. I guess he realized that it was too loud so he said in a more quite tone, "I know Tris. I know all of it. I'm not stupid, Jeanine is trying to get Abnegation and she will stop at nothing, okay? Trust me, I know everything." Tobias breathed out.

What the...fuck.

"Okay" Tris says and they kiss. I don't know why but my heart starts pounding out my chest and my face gets warm. I knew it.

"What are you guys doing?" I say in surprise. They both jump away from each other, acting like nothing happened.

"Bella, hey" Tris said walking away from Tobias, and towards me. I shake my head.

"Wow how did I not see this coming. You, Tobias, you were probably locked in your room sucking faces with Tris, when I needed to speak to you about something important. You know I could've been faction less. Maybe I missed the most important place to look, your room. Have fun you two." I cross my arms and turn around, walking away.

Shit. I really just said all that. Oh my god now I'm really going to be faction less.

I see Marlene with an empty seat next to her. I take that seat and sigh. Thy all stare at me. "You ok?" Uriah questions. I shrug then grab a hunk mashed sweet potatoes, and plop them on my plate.

After seeing all this food, I realize how hungry I am.

"Slow down on the food there, Bella. You don't want to eat too much that'll give your little body a heart attack" Shaunna snickers. I scold at her then she puts her hand up in defense.

"Sorry, but don't stop me from eating. Eating is a passion of mine ok?" I say and heave a big chunk of bread roll in my mouth.

Then everyone in the cafeteria goes dead silent. I continue to eat because, well, I'm hungry.

"I'm looking for Bella Fields" a deep voice shouts through out the whole room. I look up from my food then see Tobias looking around. For me.

Oh great. What do I do know?

"She's right here!" A squeaky voice calls out, everyone then turns my way. Marlene gives me a worried look, I act like it nothing. So, I stand up the walk his way with a determined face.

"We need to speak, alone" he says and looks to see if everyone was listening. But everybody goes back to eating their food and conversing with each other.

We both walk to a room, his maybe? Oh yeah definitely his.

I can smell the scent of Tris still lingering. "May I ask why I am here?" I question, crossing my arms.

"Nobody can know about what you saw okay? It should be as if you weren't even there. Alright!? You hear me because-" I cut him off.

"Shut up" I roll my eyes, still standing with my arms crossed. His eyes darken while his squeezes tight.

Soon I find myself pinned to the wall, Tobias hovering over me.
