A.N. Hey guys! So this is my very first fanfiction ever, and I'm so excited. I ship Fourtris like there's no tomorrow, so expect to see a lot of it throughout the story. There won't be too much in this chapter because I'm just getting started, but yeah! And also the italicized stuff (did I spell italicized right? If I did that's surprising! c:) is all quotes from the book. I didn't write that, that was Veronica Roth. (Notice why it's better than my story? Hah, wonder why! c;)

I hope I'll get better at all this authors note stuff as I go, so I'm sorry if I'm annoying...! Anyway, I'll leave you to reading.

Disclaimer- I don't own anything except for the changes in the storyline. You know, to be safe I'll say that everything belongs to Veronica Roth. Sadly I wasn't creative enough to think of this before her(: Okay, now I'm done(:

Chapter 1

We stood there at midnight. Erudite headquarters still had it's city lights on, which was technically not allowed. I wonder why... but then again it's not often that the factions follow this rule. It's such a small, overlooked city guideline that no one would really bother about it.

I look up into Tobias' dark, ocean blue eyes, expecting him to explain why he took me to Erudite at such a late hour. As if reading my mind, he starts to speak.

"A few weeks ago, before training started, I was at work and I found a way into the Dauntless secure files. Apparently we are not as skilled as Erudite are at security," he says, "and what I discovered was what looked like war plans. Thinly veiled commands, supply lists, maps. Things like that. And those files were sent by Erudite."

"War?" I brush my hair away from my face. Listening to my father insult Erudite all my life has made me very wary of them, and my experiences in the Dauntless make me very wary of authority and human beings in general, so I'm not shocked to hear that a faction could be planning a war.

And what Caleb said earlier. Something big is happening, Beatrice. I look up at Tobias.

"War on Abnegation?"

He takes my hands, lacing his fingers with mine, and says, "The faction that controls the government. Yes."

My stomach sinks.

"All those reports are supposed to stir up dissension against Abnegation," he says, his eyes focused on the city beyond the train car. "Evidently the Erudite now want to speed up the process. I have no idea what to do about it. . . or what could be done."

"But," I say, "why would Erudite team up with Dauntless?"

And then something occurs to me, something that hits me in the gut and gnaws at my insides. Erudite doesn't have weapons, and they don't know how to fight- but the Dauntless do.

I stare wide-eyed at Tobias.

"They're going to use us," I say.

"I wonder," he says, "how they plan to get us to fight."

I told Caleb that the Erudite know how to manipulate people. They could coerce some of us into fighting with misinformation, or by appealing to greed- any number of ways. But the Erudite are as meticulous as they are manipulative, so they wouldn't leave it up to chance. They would need to make sure that all their weaknesses are shored up. But how? Something tells me that I know the answer, but I can't call it to mind. Maybe I'll realize it sometime. Hopefully I will before anything bad happens.

The wind blows my hair across my face, cutting my vision into strips, and I leave it there.

"I don't know," I say simply, because honestly I don't.

It's the day the rankings are revealed. All the initiates have already gone through their fear landscapes, and I had 6 fears in mine. (A.N. Please note that in Tris' landscape, I decided to take out the fear of Tobias wanting to have sex with her. It goes with this scene, and if I didn't take it out I couldn't write the story the way I planned to. Sorry if this makes anybody disappointed!) Right now I'm walking with Tobias back to his apartment. He doesn't know anything about my landscape yet, except for what he saw on the screen. Since he's not a leader, he couldn't actually watch the initiate's landscapes.

When we reach Tobias' apartment, he reluctantly lets go of my hand that he was secretly holding the whole way here to dig his key out of his pocket. When he grabs it, he slips it into the lock, turns it, and the door opens with a small creak. It was not a creepy creak, though, more of a welcoming creak.

We walk inside and he closes the door, soon followed by grabbing my hand and pulling me close to him.

"So, how did you do? How many fears were in your landscape?" he says, almost sounding a bit worried. I take it that he just wants to make sure I'm okay and not scared to death inside because I just faced my worst fears, like most initiates are.

"I guess I did okay. I felt pretty confident enough, because I already had experience with stage 2 in training. You know. . . so I think I was more prepared than the others. Overall, I had. . ." I pause, counting in my head all of my fears, "six. Six fears."

He looks at me with a look of shock and surprise on his face. It soon turns to a look of happiness and what looks like he's proud of me.

"Tris! Six fears! That's incredible!" he exclaims.

"Sure, it's okay. But really, who here had four fears?"

"So what if I had four fears, that's not the point. Tris, or maybe I could call you "Six", you know that's one of the lowest numbers anyone has ever gotten, right? You have about half the average amount!" Tobias responds.

"Okay. I don't think I'll win this, so I'll just agree with you. Tobias, I did an incredible job." I say back. At this he chuckles.

Before I know it he takes my face in his hands and gently bends over to brush his lips with mine. Immediately my heart starts to race at his touch. I push my lips closer to his so our lips are no longer brushing but locked in a sweet, tender kiss. But as it lasts, we both become more eager. The kiss becomes more passionate and love-filled, causing my heart to beat even faster than it was before. One hand moves behind my head ad starts stroking my hair, while the other slowly trails down to my waist. I shiver at his touch. My arms move around his waist as I pull him closer, never wanting this to end.

But as this goes on, a thought pops in my head. You know how the Erudite will get us to fight, Tris. You know. I think to myself. Where did that come from? I try to ignore it and focus on Tobias. But then it hits me.

The serum they injected me with. The serum they injected everyone with. Eric said it was to track everybody. . . I doubt that was the only reason. If the Erudite are planning to get the Dauntless to fight, they will get everyone to fight. And if they injected everyone with serum. . . it has to be the way they are getting us to fight. And knowing the way the Erudite think, they are probably either going to threaten us with all of us knowing we're at risk with the serum inside us, or it will somehow possess us. Most likely, the serum is going to possess us.

I pull back quickly from the kiss.

"Tris? What's wrong?" Tobias questions.

"I think I know how the Erudite will get us to fight." I reply.

"How on Earth did you suddenly figure it out?"

"The serum. The serum they injected us all with, Tobias. Why would they inject all of us with a serum? I doubt it's only to track us. . ."

"It makes sense that the serum could be a part in it, but how?"

"They're going to possess us. Like a simulation."

His face suddenly gets a look of understanding. Like a light bulb went off inside his head.

"But. . . Tris, you're. . . Divergent," he lowers his voice at that part, "so that means if it's a simulation, you won't be affected by it." he states.

It's now my turn to show understanding.

"Yes, but that's just me. Not everybody is Divergent."

"That's true."

We stay silent for a moment, thinking to ourselves. I look up to see Tobias has a look on his face as if he figured something out.

"Tris. . . simulations are connected to computers, right? Like the simulations during initiation in stages 2 and 3. So if this is a simulation, wouldn't it make sense to be connected to a computer?" he tells me.

It makes sense, so I nod. He continues.

"Well, when I told you I am good with computers, I wasn't joking. If I can figure out a way to hack into the systems and change the simulation, maybe we can stop the war from happening."

Now it makes perfect sense. Hoping Tobias can hack into the systems and change the simulations, maybe even destroy them, we can keep the war from happening. And my family will be safe. I hope Tobias can figure it out, I really do.

"I'll try to hack in today, Tris. As soon as I'm sure nobody's watching, I'll casually walk to the control room as if I were checking something for my shift. You can take guard to make sure nobody comes. And we can talk casually to make it look normal. I'll find it and destroy it, I promise." He tells me.

With that he takes my face in his hands once again and kisses me gently and softly. He's such a gentleman. Mean, scary Four isn't there anymore. Now there's a nice, calm, caring Tobias in his place. And I like that. I hope the war doesn't happen so he won't have to change back into mean, scary Four again. I like Tobias better.

We'll see what happens.
