A/N: Hi guys! This is my first Fanfiction, I would appreciate any reviews! I hope you enjoy :)

*Tris POV*

My lungs are working overtime and I'm nearly out of breath. I'm running through dense forest, ignoring the branches that whip and sting against my face, leaving red scratches. But I can't stop. My feet navigate their way through the undergrowth, scrambling over tree roots and rocks. Adrenalin runs through my veins, my heart working extra hard to pump blood around my tiring body. Why can't I stop? Why am I running? Why am I scared? My muscles burn and I feel like vomiting. Rain starts to pour from the sky, making the ground extra slippery. My feet are suddenly struggling to find purchase among the earth and all of a sudden I'm falling, falling through the ground and into a void of darkness…

I wake trembling, although Tobias has me held in his warm embrace. It was all just a dream Tris, calm yourself. I roll over to face Tobias, careful not to wake him. His face is relaxed and his expression soft in the dim light. It is almost rare to see him this way, looking vulnerable. The sheets are gathered around his bare chest, rising and falling slowly with every breath. I want to savour this moment, capture it in my mind. I take in the sight of his sun kissed skin, ruffled hair and the shape of his body underneath the sheets. Without his presence by my side, I wouldn't be able to handle the constant nightmares that plague my sleep. I'm still feeling unsettled from my nightmare, but I'm used to it by now. His eyelids begin to flutter. I give myself a mental slap. Stop staring Tris! I'm too late, Tobias opens his eyes. His lips begin to form into a cheeky grin.

"Caught in the act, Tris. Good morning." I bury my face into his chest, to hide my red cheeks. He sees me blush and lowers his face to mine. Our noses and foreheads touch. His lips move to my forehead, then my nose and cheeks, showering me with little kisses. I close my eyes and breathe in his scent.

"I was hoping you would never wake up. You looked so peaceful and innocent sleeping." Tobias giggles at my comment. I like him this way. I draw his lips to mine for a good morning kiss. We pull apart after a few seconds. I get so lost looking in those beautiful blue eyes that I almost don't hear Tobias speak.

"Did you have any nightmares?" His voice is gentle and he brings his hand to cup my cheek.

"Just the usual," I sigh. I wriggle my body towards him to close the inches of space left between our bodies. He strokes my cheek with his thumb and begins to kiss me again. The kisses are soft and lovely. It's a cold morning but it feels so comfortable and warm to lie next to Tobias.

"I love you Tris," he murmurs in between kisses.

"I love you too Tobias. I wish we could continue this but I need to shower." I give him one last peck on the cheek and head for the shower, grabbing my clothes along the way. I have pretty much moved in with Tobias now. I stand under the running water, I find it soothing and it helps to clear my head. The war is over for now, after uncovering the secret of our society's existence. Many people are confused as what to do. The factionless are gradually earning the public's respect. Everything is a mess. The Factions still haven't figured whether to explore beyond the gate or not. It's still tense around Dauntless at least, but we're beginning to relax and things are continuing to run as usual. So many terrible things happened the day that the video was discovered. Lynn and Fernando's faces flash in my mind and I quickly brush the memories aside. I can't bring myself to think about Caleb, it hurts too much. It's been around two weeks since we allied with the factionless and stormed the Erudite compound. My thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the bathroom door.

"Tris? Are you nearly finished? I need to shower as well!" Tobias' voice sounds through the door.

"Oh I almost forgot! I'm nearly done!" I call through the door, whilst hastily washing myself. Today Tobias and I are going to meet with leaders and representatives from each Faction, as well as a few factionless, including Evelyn. It is required to discuss whether it is time to abandon the Faction system. I was let off the hook for interfering with the plans to take all power from Erudite after much debate. This was only because my efforts, even though against what I was supposed to be doing, I contributed to the success of the mission. I step out of the shower, dress and do my hair.

The meeting is set to take place at Amity. Tobias and I make our way to the train tracks, hand in hand. The train speeds past, we rush to jump into a carriage. We lean against each other for the ride, listening to each other's breathing.

The meeting drags on. Evelyn is draining herself trying to persuade everybody to see her perspective. She insists that the faction system be discarded immediately, though most around the table disagree.

"But how much do we know about the outside world? Do we have enough information to sustain the population of all current factions combined?" Marcus questions. I can feel Tobias' hand tighten around mine at the sound of his voice. The majority of those present come to the conclusion that a second meeting is to be held in a few days. Tobias and I walk out, heading to the train. We walk side by side, with our arms wrapped around each other's hips. We are halfway to the tracks when a deep voice stops us.

"Tobias!" A voice that cold and deep could only belong to Marcus. I keep my hands firmly on Tobias and he does the same. We turn around together and I can sense that Tobias is ready to face whatever his father has to say to him. Marcus stares at me and then moves his eyes up to Tobias. Tobias pulls me closer to him. I can feel him tense all over.

"I'm glad I made you strong. I will never regret anything I did. As for you Tris, I wouldn't get so content with my son. " Marcus speaks smugly and turns, walking back to Amity. Tobias' muscles relax and he breathes deeply. He seems unusually calm. We turn and run towards the tracks. Once we are inside the carriage, Tobias hugs me and kisses the top of my head.

"Don't believe anything he says, he can't hurt us." Tobias whispers into my hair.

"I love you." And with that, I fall asleep in his arms.
