Unexpectedly Dauntless

Caught While Capturing The Flag

I can only take credit for my own ideas... everything else belongs to Veronica Roth.  

Here is another chapter and it hasn't even been months since my last post. I am going to try to keep this up.

Tris

It is Monday, and we are back to our regular schedule of physical training. I find it rather humorous that some of the initiates appear to be a bit hung over, as it seems that many of them went out last night as well as Saturday night. But true to our word, we are not taking it any easier on them. If anything we are being a little harder and more critical of them today. If they are going to be staying here, they have to learn this early. In Dauntless, we may play hard, but we work even harder.

It is really quite funny to see how different Franklin is acting today, almost cowering when he sees me. I think I may have finally gotten it through his head, that I am the boss around here, and his attitude is not going to get him anywhere. Let's just hope that this lasts.

We were planning to play capture the flag on Wednesday night, but some of the Dauntless born initiates got wind of this, so we have decided to move it to tonight. As soon as we are done with training for the day, Tobias and I pick up some dinner and head back home to take a nap for a couple hours before we get ready for the night. 

We meet up with Uriah and Lauren and get the paintball gear ready and hauled to the train tracks. Once we are all all ready we head back to the dorms to wake the initiates up. At exactly 12:01 am Tris and I burst into the transfer dorm, while Uriah and Lauren do the same with the Dauntless born. Seeing their confused and startled reactions makes me even more thankful that I was warned about this and could be prepared last year.

We get to the train tracks, and wait for the initiates to arrive a few minutes later. After a quick head count to ensure that everyone has arrived, we pass out the paintball guns and get ready to jump on the train. We make sure everyone jumps into the same train car and briefly explain how the game works before dividing into teams, with Tobias and I leading one team and Uriah and Lauren leading the other.

Just like last year, our team consists mostly of the faster and more agile initiates. We got all three off the triplets, Uriah and Lauren had no idea what they were missing out on. We figure, it worked well enough for us last year, so we should stick with it. We are the first to jump off the train, and gather the initiates together for a quick debriefing.

"Alright everybody, I want you all to get together and work on a plan as a group. We will let you discuss for 10 minutes and then we will be back to discuss out with you before it is time for the game to begin. Ana, you take the lead, but EVERYONE needs to contribute."

At that, we walk away to give them some space to discuss without us. We walk around the back of the Ferris wheel and Tobias sits down on a bench, pulling me down onto his lap. He gives me a gentle kiss behind the ear, causing me to sigh contentedly. I turn sideways on his lap, wrap my arms around his neck, and kiss him. Our kisses quickly intensify until about 5 minutes has passed. We turn when we hear the breaking of a branch, and see Ana turning on her heels to walk away.

"Ana, come here." I say, stifling a laugh. She turns back towards us and walks over, looking much more timid than I would have expected from her, as the most outgoing of the triplets.
"I guess I should have known that we would eventually be caught." I laugh outright, sliding off of T.J.'s lap. "I just though out would have taken a little longer than a week."
"Yeah." She says, with a shocked expression still on her face.
"Why do you look so shocked, Ana? You figured out that I am married, you just didn't know who I am married to."
"It's just... I just... well... oh, never mind." She stutters. I am totally lost as to why she seems so flustered, and for some reason, I decide too press her on it.
"Tell me what's on your mind."
"I just didn't expect that you two were together. When you said that you were married, we just assumed that it was to...well... someone else." She trails off.
"Someone I  particular?" I ask.
"Well, yeah." She shrugs.
"Who?"
"I really don't think I should say." She says, still timidly. I can tell that she is feeling like there is something she should not be saying in front of Tobias, now that she knows that he's my husband.
"Go ahead."
" I just thought it would have been the guy from the other night."
"What guy?"
