A/N: I know we've all read Four and we all know how Tobias thinks, but for me, I want to write the entire Divergent Trilogy from Tobias's point of view, every scene, every detail from the moment fate begins to draw him and Tris together, something as long as the original books itself, because I love Tobias, and this, is where I start. This is where I introduce you to Tobias as I understand him and I hope to hell you like my Tobias, because I am absolutely in love with him.

Prologue-
The Storm Before the Storm

Today is the day they administer the aptitude tests. I know, because tomorrow is the day of the choosing ceremony. The day when I will, once again try to forget the look of utter loathing on my father's face two years ago when I decided to betray him and my old faction, as I wait for the initiates with Lauren and a few other Dauntless at the compound entrance. I try to convince myself, that I didn't really betray them, that they- he forced me to leave with his actions but then I remember the look on his face and all logic goes tumbling away. When I came to Dauntless I was prepared to overcome my fears. But if there's something I've learnt it's that you can hold your fears at bay, but you can't get rid of them, ever. I still stay away from the choosing ceremony year after year. I still stay away from the zip-lining. I stay away from the aptitude tests declining multiple requests to administer them. In fact, I avoid anything to do with my old faction. I could face up and do those things, but then again, I can't. Those fears are so deep-rooted in me. Even the Dauntless legend, Four isn't fearless. I guess he's even more afraid than most other people. Afraid of himself.

I'm walking to the control room for my evening shift when I see the train bringing back the kids from school. I can't help but notice that some of them look pale and worried as they make the ever-so-familiar jump off the train and walk back to wherever they live. Even from a distance I can tell which of them are thinking about transferring factions tomorrow. I can tell by the looks on their faces, because that's the same look I once wore on my face.

Sometimes I feel like it's been decades since I came here, I can't imagine a life where I wasn't Dauntless. And other times it feels like it was just a few days ago that I was a slim, pale-faced Abnegation, cowering before the shadow of my father. But, it's close to the Choosing Ceremony when it feels like the least time has passed.


A/N: Deep and dark and struggling with himself; but I promise, that's not the only side of Tobias you'll get to see
