One and a half months later…
Tris
The initiation is now past. Four came first, Eric came second, and Zeke came third. Uriah, Lynn, Marlene, Zeke, Four, Caleb, and I are going to get tattoos. I settled on three ravens flying towards my heart to represent my family. Caleb got the same thing, copycat. Four won't tell is what he got, The rest got Dauntless symbols on their shoulders.
"Tris, follow me," Four says.
"Okay," I respond.
He leads me to a secluded spot in the chasm.
"I have liked you since I first met you. Will you go out with me? You will probably say no bu-"
"Four, yes!" I cut him off with a kiss.
When I pull back all he says is, "Woah, that was…"
"Amazing," I finish for him
He looks at his watch, "I need to go."
"Okay, see you later," I say as I watch him leave. I hate seeing him leave. I could get lost for hours in those eyes.
-0o0-
In the morning I am in a much lighter mood. I don't know what got into me. Wait, yes I do. I just hate to admit it. I head quickly to the dining hall.
"Looks like someone is in a good mood. I wonder what got you in it," Marlene says.
"You know, the sky is bright, the birds are chirping."
"Woah, are you high on peace serum?" Zeke butts in. Perfect, better if they think I am.
What? The world is perfect, there is no need for peace serum," I state. Everyone starts laughing, Four smirks at me.
"We need a camera to have this documented. This is just too good!" Lynn says.
I pretend to snap out of it, "What happened?" I ask. That sends everyone into a laughing fit.
"You were high on peace serum, it was hilarious!" Uriah laughs.
"I smuggled some bread from amity for a prank. I ended up getting hungry," I state, shrugging.
I finish the french toast and head back to my room for the rest of the day. Four follows me.
"We have to tell them, you know," Four tells me.
"I know, just later. I want to enjoy my time with you," I say.
"I know what we can do, just trust me," Four says.
"Okay…"
He takes me to the fear landscape room. "What are we doing in here?"
"I'm taking you into my fear landscape," he explains.
"I know, but why?"
"So that we can trust each other completely."
He pulls out two syringes, "Can I inject myself?" I ask.
"Sure, just inject yourself here," He touches the place where to inject myself. It sends warmth through my body.
Then the wind starts. It blows so hard I have to lean against Four to stay on my feet. He removes his hand from mine and wraps his arm around my shoulder instead. At first I think it's to protect me-but no, he's having trouble breathing and he needs me to steady him.
"We have to jump off, right?" I shout over the wind.
He nods.
"One...two...Three!" I shout as I pull him down.
"What's next?"
"It's-"
Something solid hits my spine. I slam into Four, my head hitting his collarbone. Walls appear on my left and right. The space is so narrow that Four has to pull his arms into his chest to fit. A ceiling slams onto the walls around us with a crack, and Four hunches over, groaning.
"Confinement," I say.
He grimaces like he's in pain.
"Hey," I say. "It's okay. Here-"
I pull his hand over my heart. "This is the first time I'm happy I'm so small." I joke, hoping to calm him down.
"Feel my heartbeat, focus on it. Feel how slow it is."
"It's fast Tris, why?"
"I'm dating someone I barely know. I'm in a box with said person. No matter what happens, though, I want this."
"We can get past this, just we have to make it smaller. It will then pass onto the next obstacle."
We get smaller and smaller, he grimaces, but says nothing. The box breaks and the scenario changes.
There is a old woman in front of us and a table with a gun on it.
"You have to shoot her," I state.
"Every single time," He grumbles.
He aims, closes his eyes, and then shoots.
"Four, It's okay, it wasn't real," I tell him
"BUT IT FELT REAL!" He yells. "I'm sorry for yelling," he quickly apologizes
Just then a belt hits my back I turn around to find a man with Four's eyes.
"You made the wrong choice, bastard," I whisper to him.
I tackle him repeatedly punching him in the face. The simulation then ends.
I recall the man looking like Marcus Eaton, he had a son that transferred. It was all over the news.
"Tobias," I whisper to Four.
"Yes," he whispers back.
I pull him close and passionately kiss him. He kisses back. It feels so good. I know from that moment on that I want him.
