"What do you mean, you only found out about your cousin now?" Tobias asks me a bit annoyed that I only told him about the trip the day before.

"She only contacted me two days ago and she'd already bought the tickets. It would be rude not to go."

The she I am referring to is my mothers, sister's daughter or in other words my cousin. Her name is katniss everdeen and she lives with her husband Peeta in a country outside of the USA called Panem. Apparently my mother once sent her a letter to contact me as soon as the faction system was broken. She said that Panem was also once in a situation similar to Chicago right now. In fact Katniss had lead that rebellion.

"Hey stop complaining" I say to Tobias

"you should happy that your coming with me at all. I could have told katniss to only buy one ticket and left you here to deal with all the problems here without the faction system..."

"Okay fine. Thank you for taking me with you..." He says the last part almost inaudibly.

"That's a good boy! Now Who wants a muffin?"

He glares at me. I sprint all the way to the cafeteria and hide behind Zeke.

"Wow Tris, what's going on?" he asks with a mouth full of dauntless cake.

"Four-" but that's as far as I get in my sentence before Tobias cuts me off.

"TRIS"!

"Holy hell, Tris what did you do?" Christina asks as she sits at the table to the right of where I'm hiding behind Zeke. Then I see him. Tobias is sprinting towards me with a huge grin on his face.

"Tris!"

I come out from behind Zeke and say "yes" as nonchalantly as I can muster without bursting into laughter.

"You better have not just said what I think you did."

Tobias is laughing now.

" Oh and what If I did?" I say laughing too.

Suddenly he takes the muffin I had snatched on my sprint over here, and he stuffs the entire thing into his mouth.

"YOU JUST ATE MY MUFFIN!" I bellow.

"Yup."

"What was that all about?" Zeke asks looking confused.

"Nothing" Tobias and me say at the same time.

"Okay... So anyways what's up?" Christina asks starting on her toast.

"Four and me are leaving to go to this place called Panem tomorrow" I say getting up to go grab another muffin since somebody ate mine.

"Oh really? Why?" Zeke asks finishing his cake. "I heard the people there are like really weird, and some of them like, dye they're skin different colours."

"Yeah I've heard something like that as well, but apparently, Tris has a cousin who lives there so we're going to go for a visit." Tobias sits down in the seat next to mine.

I walk over to where the big plate of muffins sits and grab two. One for me and a second for Tobias, who usually eats two for breakfast.

What I haven't told Tobias yet is that meeting my cousin isn't the only reason I'm going to Panem. Katniss also said that my mother left a letter for me, and gave it to Katniss for safe keeping. She told me she hadn't read it.

Even though we can all technically live where ever we want now, Christina, Zeke, Tobias and I, all chose to stay in dauntless. Since I've never really been a real dauntless I haven't had a job before, so Christina and me have both been job hunting for the past two weeks. Christina is almost certain that she wants to be a nurse at the hospital that used to be in the dauntless compound. I, on the other have no idea what I want to do. All of the things I've ever really wanted to do before had to do with the factions, and since we don't have those anymore I am, momentarily, jobless.

The rest of the day is pretty uneventful. Tobias and I pack for Panem before he has to go to work. When he comes back we eat dinner and go to sleep. The train leaves at 5:30 am and missing it would suck. It's one of the few trains that go outside the fence and those only come every couple days. They go all around the country and some, like the one we're taking, go even further. The other option was a plane, but since I know Tobias would murder me in my sleep if I told him he had to go on a mysterious flying machine that cold potentially crash at any given moment, I'd requested That Katniss buy us train tickets instead.

I fall asleep quickly in Tobias's arms and don't wake up until 4:00 am to the sound of Tobias's deep voice.
