Tris POV

My eye lids flutter open, much against my will. I was having a wonderful dream. Tobias had come to save me and David almost died but Pippa saved him. There was a guy named Matthew there to, but I don't quite remember him. I close my eyes again and roll over. The bed is so soft and the blankets keep me so warm.

Wait. Bed? Blankets? I open my eyes immediately and notice I'm not the white, sterile room, strapped to the cold, hard table. Where was I? 

As if reading my mind, Tobias comes in and answers the question.

"Is it nice to be back here? I know it's not the same as before but Chicago is almost the same again. But without the Factions." Chicago. How'd I get to Chicago?

"How did I get here?" I voice my thoughts. My dream must have been really. The last thing I remember is Tobias whisper 'I love you Tris' and then, nothing.

"When you became unconscious, Pippa and Kee, well, mainly Pippa because Kee was having a mental meltdown, told us all about the operation David was running. They told us about the serum that he had injected into you. After their explanation we put him in jail. Not as fun or as entertaining as bashing him to a pulp, or as satisfying, but it felt good just the same." David's in jail. My one worry, erased. "So, what do you want to do?"

"What do I normally like to do?" I can't remember anything about Chicago.

"You don't remember?" When I shake my head his expressions drops. "Well, you like jumping on and off trains, fighting, shooting guns, throwing knives, zip-lining, um, other things Dauntless do."

"What do the Dauntless do?"

"Oh, wow. You really don't remember anything." Again, I shake my head. "We could go meet with others. I'm sure they'd like to see you." The others? They'd appeared in my dreams occasionally but I can't quite remember. "You know, Christina, Zeke, Shauna, Matthew, Even Caleb." Caleb. When Tobias says his name a flood of memories come back. Us together in a grey house. Arguing and playing games. All the houses is the neighbourhood are the same as ours.

"Tris. Tris. Are you alright?" I shake my head at the sound of Tobias' voice. 

"Yeah. Sorry. What did you say?" 

"Get ready. We're going in 5 minutes."

"Yes Mum." With that he smirks, turns and leaves the room. I look down at the clothes I'm wearing. They seem suitable for meeting friends. I look in the mirror. I look absolutely terrible. He expects me to fix this in 5 minutes. I have dark bags underneath my eyes, even though I've been getting plenty of sleep. I have some serious bed hair and my face is covered in bruises. I decide to just brush my hair and be done with it. It's not like we're going to see the Queen.

-----

"Hurry up Tris! It's been 10 minutes," Tobias yell vibrates the house. 'We we're suppose to leave 5 minutes ago."

"Stop getting your knickers in a knot. It takes forever to brush hair that hasn't been cared for in two and a half years." I've finished brushing my hair and I'm now trying to put it up. Unfortunately, my hairs all frizzy and is disagree with me. In the end I decide to go with a simple pony tail. 

I walk out of the bedroom and into the living room. Sitting on the couches are 6 people, including Tobias and Matthew. One I remember is Caleb and the others are vaguely familiar.

"Tris!" A tall, black haired girl jumps up and engulfs me in a hug. I try to escape but her grip is to tight. Her hold suddenly weakens her I pull back so I can see her face. It isn't as enthusiastic as before, it's almost sad. "It's Christina. Your best friend?" Christina? The name rings a bell.

"Hi Tris," A girl in a wheel chair says. She seems to be the only one who's spirit isn't dampened because I can't remember. "I'm Shauna. We've all missed you, especially Christina and Four." Four? Who's Four? If he was so distraught, why isn't he here?

"Hi Shauna. What are you guys all doing here?"

"We got bored of waiting for you so we came over." I look over at where the voice is coming from to see a guy leaning against the wall. "I'm Zeke by the way."

"Hi Zeke." There's only one person that hasn't spoken and doesn't seem interested in the conversation. Caleb. Some time since I've come out, Tobias and Matthew have left. I wonder why they went?

"You guys ready to go?" Ah, speak of the devil and he doth appear. 

"Where are we going?" 

"It's a surprise."

I hate surprises.
