So Tris is on her own after the drama with Four went down. She is wandering around and finds herself near the train tracks. She can't go back to Dauntless compound or to her family in Abnegation, and her mom did tell her to visit Caleb. Oh heck, why not? Nothing bad will happen, right? WRONG. But we will get to that later.
Now Tris finds herself in the middle of the Erudite compound and I'm sure she is sticking out like a sore thumb. She, dressed in all black in the center of a faction that's main color is blue, blends right in, right? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say stealth isn't one of her talents. The faction members part like the Red Sea to let her through for God's sake. Obviously she doesn't care that much though because she continues right into the Erudite headquarters, which is a library.. Go figure. She is asking a man behind the front desk where she can find Caleb, and thankfully, right before she is about to open a can of whoopass on him, Caleb intervenes.
She hugs him, even though she knows she isn't supposed to, and it made my little heart so happy. He is just surprised to see her new look as she is to see his. They have both changed so much since the last time they saw each other, and I doubt they think the other has changed for the better. They go to sit near a sculpture of a giant bean (THE BEAN) to talk. Caleb seems to be liking Erudite so far. He mentions appreciating having knowledge at his finger tips. Because of that, he knows something big is happening. The whole faction is gossiping like teenage girls about Abnegation. That is actually a great metaphor, because hardly anyone knows the truth too! Caleb and Tris begin getting sassy with each other and Tris tries to storm off. Tries..
She is taken by two Erudite men into the headquarters to see... Jeanine. *DUN DUN DUN* Jeanine is being rather unpleasant, so Tris is back talking every chance she gets. Even though I knew it might get her in trouble if she wasn't careful, I couldn't help but laugh. Unfortunately she has to lie to keep herself out of trouble, and this includes talking down on her home faction and sounding really cocky. It made me appreciative that she isn't always like that.
Tris arrives back in the Dauntless compound and has to force the wrath of Eric. Oh dear lord, help her now. Thank god before he can snap, Four walks in. He is going to save the day, I just know it! He helps Tris with a fabulous lie to tell Eric; Tris tried to kiss Four, but he rejected her and she ran off crying. Eric believes it because he wants to find anything to make Tris seem vulnerable. This gets Tris out of trouble, and out of a room with Eric. Four leaves as well and kisses her. DAWH. He tells her to meet him later.. Scandalous.....
Before it is time for her to meet Four, she has a conversation with Christina back in the dorm. She finds out Will and Christina have a thing going on! She also finds out about the Candor initiation, and Christina's fear of moths. But after whole mumbojumbo, she finds herself in a train car with Four, heading towards the Erudite compound. Things get pretty serious on the trip there with all of their kissing and what not! Anyhow, back to the important issue. Four reveals something life changing. Dauntless and Erudite are planning to team up on a war against Abnegation.
"And I am someone who does not let inconsequential things like boys and near death experiences stop her."
