Dear readers of my story,

This is my first Fanfiction and I hope you all like it. I am currently in the process of editing and revising and this may take some time. I apologise for any confusion later on.

Tris POV-Chapter One.

Guilt from a murder is a powerful affliction. You can't hide. You can't run. For however much you sprint from the bad conscience guilt will always sneak up quietly behind you and eat you alive.

It was guilt that brought me here.

Before you ask, no it was not my guilt. I am not a murderer. But a betrayer of Dauntless brought Tobias, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah, Marlene, Will, Christina and I here. This betrayer had us all conceived of thinking that he or she was a good person, or at least we thought. Their charm blew us over.

I have now learnt a very important lesson: there are two sides to every person, almost like there are two sides to every story: one that we reveal to the world and another we keep hidden inside.

I shall not dare speak the betrayers' ruthless name.

My hair blows in the deafening wind; I clutch Tobias' arm tight thinking if I don't: the warm humid wind will pin me down and pull me away.

'Are you okay sweetheart?' Tobias whispers into my ear, his hot breath making me shiver. I chuckle at my nickname he loves to call me so much.

'Yes, it may be warm, but I wish this hike will be finished soon.'

'I agree, I don't think my legs can take my body weight anymore, I think we are going to go back to camp now thankfully,' he replies softly. I snuggle up to him as much as possible. He drapes his defined arms around my shoulders.

'We are nearly there!' Zeke screams pointing, while holding Shauna's hand. His excited demeanour suffocates everyone around us. Happiness flushes over me as I realize we will soon be sitting down. It's been a long day.

The long grass from the fields around us tickles my knees. I have a small flower in my hair since Tobias picked the flower up complimenting it looks as beautiful as me. Off course as soon as he said that, a crimson colour flushed my cheeks. Above, the fiery orb is almost setting making the before perfect blue sky, turn into an explosion of colours. The few olive trees around us make shade. In the distance we see what looks like a small village. From what we know off this is the first time any group of people have come out 'here'.

And where is 'here' exactly?

'Here' is exploring the unknown: outside the fence that connects the factions to the real world.

My life has always been to a certain degree unpredictable. I never once thought I would pick Dauntless since I was born in Abnegation. But more than that, I never once thought I would be hiking out with all my Dauntless friends to find out what is beyond the fence. We are the ones chosen for this mission.

My mother always told me that you know when you are safe. I wanted to go somewhere safe and now I am here. I wasn't safe in Abnegation and I definitely wasn't safe in Dauntless being Divergent.

Is there such a place that is a hundred percent safe?

We are outside the factions, Tobias and I are free.

I am safe.

One month before

'Tris?' Tobias stares longingly at me and brings me to the present. We are currently sitting in his apartment.

'Yeah?' I say softly, my previous trance evident in my voice.

'I asked a question, do you want to go to Zeke's and Uriah's party tonight? We will be celebrating you ranking first.'

A stampede of thoughts unwantedly enters my mind, I hate alcohol, I dislike getting all dressed up and I dislike attention. If I go to a party I will get a lot of attention, especially since the hot topic of gossip in Dauntless is Tobias and I getting together. Do people not have their own gossip to talk about? Tobias can sense my uncertainty and signs.

'It could be fun Tris, we should celebrate. There will be Dauntless Cake!' A smirk slowly appears on his handsome face.

'Dauntless Cake! Scrumptious! Then we must go!' I respond sarcastically. I hear Tobias' deep chuckle and soon a small chuckle involuntarily escapes my lips. Although we would never admit it, we both would die if we secretly didn't have our Dauntless cake. The way the delicious, warm, oozing, rich, chocolate drips out of the chocolate sponge makes my mouth water.

'I have an alternative suggestion,' I suggest, a smirk forming over my lips. He raises his eyebrows in response. I slowly entangle my legs from my legged –crossed position on the sofa and sit on my knees. Effortlessly, I climb onto him, straddling him, my legs dangling over his sides while he places his hands on my thighs, keeping me securely in place. I slowly, dramatically reach down so my lips are in lined with his. I lean down closer and closer until my top of my lip is touching his when I pull away and kiss his neck. He grunts, frustration overwhelming him.

'Tris!' he loudly whispers. A laugh escapes my mouth as I feel him put more pressure onto my thighs so that I turn my mouth to his.

Eventually, I stop teasing him and kiss him fiercely on the lips. I melt into the kiss, so does he. We both pull back when it is necessary to breath. Although I am really considering taking classes to just breathe through my nose since then we won't have to pull back for a much longer amount of time.

'I like you suggestion,' he states formally, nodding his head as if this was a business deal. 'We should,' he replies to slow and I lower my mouth back to his. His tongue lingers around my mouth and I gladly let it in. 'We should,' Tobias utters between kisses, 'be a bit social,' he continues. I pull away from him so I can argue with him that is not a necessary suggestion. My hand trails down his chest while I speak.

'We can be social with each other,' I remark pulling him close again after he chuckles. My lips attack his again as his hands trail down my back. With my hands wrapped securely around his neck, he picks me up and I wrap my legs firmly around his waist. His mouth never leaves mine as he carries me to the bedroom.

The bedroom.

My breath hitches at the thought of why we are going towards the bedroom and he notices. He lets me slide off him once we are in the bedroom and my feet land perfectly on the floor.

'Shower Tris,' he whispers. I mentally sigh in relief. I walk into the simple black and white shower and jump into the blazing hot shower which only homes male shampoo and shower gel. I am going to have to change that.

'Wow,' Tobias stares at me in disbelief, gazing from the top of my head to the tips of my toes suddenly making nerves fill my veins. He is standing before me looking dazzlingly in a tight black shirt and black trousers. His hair is gelled up at the front and he smells of his cologne. His sight is breath-taking. I walk towards him and he takes in all of my features. Previously, when I was getting ready, I applied black eyeliner to make my eyes noticeable and black mascara to make my lashes to the maximum volume and added a bit of dark brown eye shadow in the crease of my eyelids and a lighter beige colour on the top. In addition, I added pink lip gloss which I am now placing in my small black handbag. I look striking and it brings out my confidence. I then picked out one of my most conservative dresses which unfortunately still drapes around mid-thigh. A simple black of-the-shoulder dresses drapes around me. They structured waist and chest area emphasizes any curves I may have. Christina my best friend and fashion designer forced me to purchase it.

'You look astonishing,' Tobias continues. He walks towards me.

'Well you look incredibly handsome,' I smile and playfully kiss him on the cheek

'Only on the cheek? What have I done?' he jokes. I blush and pull him towards me, clasping his shirt. I Kiss him hard on the lips.

'I was saving it for later,' I smirk.

'What's happening later?' He winks

Colour rises to my cheeks for some apparent reason. 'I'm sure we will think of something.'

I grasp his hand and pull him towards the door, my head turning over my shoulder, smirking, and mischief evident on my face. Synchronising our hands, we walk side by side towards Zeke's apartment which isn't very far away from Tobias' apartment. The thought occurs to me that I finally know where I belong. It wasn't in Abnegation, I was too selfish. And even I know that Dauntless has a small percent where it's not quite right for me either. But I know where I belong now, with Tobias, always with Tobias. The only man I would want to spend the rest of my life with. I am safe with him.

Every step closer towards Zeke apartment, we inhale a bigger smell of alcohol. The deafening music sneaks outside of the close apartment door and down around the corridor. We knock on Zeke's door and a highly drunken Zeke opens the door.

'Well hello, Four and his superhot lady, where on earth is Tris?' Zeke slurs, very loudly pointing at me with a beer can in his hand. Tobias gives him a death glare while I chuckle at his sort-off compliment. We take a step into the social attraction I hate. Spread around, almost evenly are hundreds of Dauntless members on their way of being intoxicated. I scan the room; it is much bigger than Tobias' single apartment. In the corner near a shelf is a DJ pumping out erotic heavy metal music made by none other than Dauntless. In the middle of the apartment are people I do not know shuffling around, dancing and screaming to the song and pumping their fists in the air.

Just then, I catch the eye of Christina and she wonders through the crowd, pushing people out of the way until she reaches me.

'Excuse me Four, I need to take Tris away from you,' Christina smiles pleasantly, even though I can see the devil glint in her eyes.

'By all means, I'll see you soon,' Tobias responds kissing my cheek, making Christina look at us, amusement and disgust written on her face. I see Tobias turn towards the bar where Shauna and Zeke are. I should mention that Zeke and Shauna have their tongues down each other's throats.

'Tris!' Christina screeches, bringing my attention towards her deafening noise. 'You look gorgeous! I finally taught you something!'

'Thank you Christina,' I laugh. 'How long have you been here?'

'I helped starting everything up, so an hour ago.'

'So,' I say casually, laughter boiling up inside of me, 'How long have you been on the booze?'

'I don't know what you're talking about!' She shouts, blushing. 'Anyway I am sure you were doing something with Four!' She wiggles her dark eyebrows. Now it's my turn to blush since indeed I was 'doing something' with Tobias 'And I am sure by the colour of your cheeks, you were certainly doing something with our old instructor.'

'He's not our instructor he is my boyfriend,' I respond in a serious tone. We share moments of silence together- well as much silence you can get from being in a cramped apartment with fifty people.

'Why didn't you tell me about you and Four, Tris? I would have understood, I told you about Will and I.' I sigh.

'Christina, I was exploding to tell you when you told me about Will and you. I was bursting on the inside. But I knew I couldn't, I knew you would keep the secret but I didn't want to put pressure on you. So Four and I decided it would be better to tell everyone afterwards. I didn't want anyone thinking I was using Four to get my way to the top. I didn't, I worked hard for it.'

Christina nods, 'I would have still liked to have known, but I understand.'

An hour of the party slips by as I am searching with my head, scanning the room to find Tobias. No success. I am standing with a fully drunken Uriah and Will. In my hand is a bottle of bear I haven't drunken. I rock on my heels awkwardly to the music.

'So Tris, you and Four huh?' Will says, his words slurring. 'I think he is scary and intimidating but you must not think so,' he continues. If he wasn't hammered, I am sure he wouldn't have just admitted that.

'But big bad scary Four has a hot, and I mean hot body and oh his abbs and butt oh la la,' Uriah laughs, acting like a little girl. 'But I'm pretty sure you have already seen that Tris! Who could resist that hot body?' Uriah shouts, making me blush, embarrassment creeping up onto my face.

'Who has a hot body?' a sexy familiar voice demands from behind. I laugh, turning my head. His arms entangle around my waist and I melt into him. Jealousy seems to have risen to Tobias' face for some apparent reason.

'We were talking about you, hot stuff!' Uriah laughs, slurring his words, pointing at Tobias. My god they are hammered.

'Me?' Tobias chuckles in amusement. 'Right, well on that note I think I am going to take Tris away from you,' Tobias says placing his hand on my lower back. He guides me through all the way to the corner of the room where we can actually hear each other over the music. Tobias hadn't been drinking much tonight, which I was thankful for because I don't drink and I don't like being the only sober one at a party. We sit down on the reasonable comfortable couch in the corner.

'I was trying to find you,' I say.

'Sorry I was discussing something with Zeke and I didn't want to disturb you when you were with Christina.'

'Honestly, I was waiting for you to drag me away,' I chuckle. He pulls me softly closer towards him and I slide into his lap and wrap my arms around his neck. I gaze into his ocean blue eyes.

His lips slide over my ear gently, 'You look good Tris.'

My heart skips a beat.

Excitement and surprisement slide over my face. My heart leaps just like the first time he said those four mesmerizing words. My heart was racing then and it is still now. I kiss him hard, emotion thick in our kiss.

'You remember that?' I ask curiously.

'How couldn't I? I might have been a little drunk but I remember how I brushed my lips over your ear like this.' He demonstrates, putting his mouth towards the side of my cheek then my ear. 'I wanted you to join me, but I wasn't sure if that was a good idea at the time,' he whispers.

'Why?' I barely whisper nervously.

He chuckles, a light-hearted laugh, 'because I like you.' He kisses me lightly on the mouth and I kiss him back fiercely.

I love you. The words hang in the air but I am afraid to say them.

'Do you want to go back to mine and watch a movie?' Tobias suggests after we break apart breathless. 'The night is still young,' he continues.

'Hmm, I wonder going back to the dorms or watching a movie while cuddling boyfriend. I wonder what my answer is.' I place my hands in front of me as if I they were weighing skills, balancing one to the other. He smirks and pulls me off the couch.

We depart from the room, saying goodbye to the few people we know. In a sudden motion, Tobias grabs me and pulls me over his shoulder, making me shriek- a sound that barely escapes my mouth- in the process.

'Put me down!' I scream, banging down on his muscular shoulders. Still, I have a nice view of his ass here, Uriah is right. 'I have a very nice view Tobias,' I joke. He tightens a little and puts me more firmly on his shoulder and laughs.

'So do I,' he chuckles making me blush. We reach his door, him still carrying me. He quickly fumbles around in his pocket for his keys and turns the lock, bending down a little so that I don't hit the door and walks inside his apartment.

'When are you going to put me down Tobias?' I complain lightly, giggling a little since his fingers are tickling me. 'I'm sure I am heavy.'

'Light as a feather,' he responds making his way towards the couch. He deposits me carefully on the couch making me face him, my hands don't leave his neck. I don't let him turn away, if I did I would miss his closeness to much. He chuckles and kisses me, his hands making their own way up and down the side of my body.

'Come on, let's get the movie set up,' Tobias suggests. I pout and cross my arms over my chest making him laugh.

We grab the essentials for a movie night: popcorn, blankets, pillows, drinks and an extreme amount of movies, varying different genres. We both decide to watch Nightmare on Erudite Street an Erudite production from many years ago since we both love horror movies. An hour of the movie slips by. Some parts to glory for my liking forcing me to bury my face into Tobias side, smelling that beautiful masculine smell of him. Enjoyment is planted on Tobias face throughout the whole film since I am so close to him. His humorous smirk made me decide to tease him. I leap up slightly, facing my body towards him and lean my body towards him, kissing his neck slowly. I have captured his attention. I slowly raise my lips towards his lips, but just before I reach them I abruptly turn and kiss his jaw. I move my lips all over his face and neck, tugging a little at his shirt but never his mouth.

'Tris!' He screams in frustration. A loud laugh escapes me lips. I couldn't not laugh; he is so funny when I tease him. I continue to kiss him for a very long time.

Needless to say, we didn't pay much attention to the movie. Cliché as it sounds, I am glad we watched a horror movie so I could be inevitably closer to him. Exhaustion takes over my body, and I let my tiredness win, my eyes fluttering close.

Today was mesmerizingly special.

A/N Thank you for reading! I would like to point out this will be nothing like Allegiant. Instead it will consist of Tris, Tobias and the squad going beyond fence, exploring the unknown with a lot of intimate moments between Tris and Tobias but nothing like the events that happened in Allegiant- trust me I was devastated too!
