The shot doesn't come. He stares at me with same ferocity but doesn't move. Why doesn't he shoot me? He is Divergent he can fight this simulation. Any simulation.
Tris is luuucky. Tobias finally snaps out of it and starts kissing her. He even gets tears in his eyes!
"How did you do it?" I say.
"I don't know," he says. "I just heard your voice."
Four shuts down the program and takes the hard drive out of the computer. All of the Dauntless wake up, and there is chaos. People are screaming, running around, and don't know what to do. I would feel the same way. I can't imagine waking up suddenly in a different part of town, surrounded by dead bodies, with a gun in my hand. It's disturbing to think about.
On their way out of the compound, Tobias sees Marcus for the first time in two years. He is stunned and doesn't know what to do. Tris is furious when Marcus denies that the Erudite were right about him abusing his son.
"The only reason I haven't shot you yet is because he's the one who should get to do it," I say. "Stay away from him or I'll decide I no longer care."
Go Tris! They should just leave Marcus behind, no one would miss him.
Tris, Tobias, Caleb, Marcus, and Peter all head to the Amity compound. Tris doesn't feel safe with Peter and Marcus with them, especially when Marcus's eyes can't stop looking at the hard drive containing the data to make an army. One good thing that happens in this chapter is Four tells Tris he loves her!
Abnegation and Dauntless are both broken, their members scattered. We are like the factionless now.
I agree, with your statement about Marcus. Clearly he isn't wanted! I bet that was an extremely awkward train ride!! Marcus had to watch his long lost son profess his love to an abnegation girl he's known all his life!!
