Tris POV

It's been 3 weeks since we chose our jobs in dauntless and I am so happy with what I am doing. Being an ambassador is a lot of work and we spent 2 weeks just learning all the customs of the other factions so that we can communicate appropriately with all of them. Being at the same job as Peter has been a pain because he is a jerk all the time, even if he is quiet about it. I thought that maybe he would try something after initiation was over, but I guess he already feels as though he's won since I didn't choose leader-in-training.

Aside from work I've been spending a lot of time getting to know Tobias. He asked me if I would like to move in with him, and although my fear of intimacy nearly made me say no, we had a long talk about how unprepared I was for anything like that and in the end I decided that I wanted to be around Tobias more. He makes me feel safe. I am excited because tonight we are going to have our 1 month anniversary dinner, and Tobias said he has a surprise for me. I'm not usually big on surprises, but if it's from Tobias I think I can handle it.

Peter's voice breaks me out of my daydreaming, "Almost done in there Tris?" He shouts from the next room. Shoot I was supposed to be looking for the notes on the last ambassador meeting.

I quickly look around and see the folder lying on a table in the corner, "Got it!" I yell back.

I walk out into the office that Peter and I share and start to spread the notes out on the table in front of us. The factions have been really tense lately with the Erudite spreading more lies about Abnegation and now some Candor are starting to get involved. Tobias has been working in the control room to find out more about Erudite plans against Abnegation and I've been working on my end, but so far neither of us has had much luck. Christina on the other hand, has had some success over-hearing our leaders talking to Erudite leaders about what the next steps should be, but nothing specific enough for us to stop it. We all have to be careful too, one wrong step and someone could end up dead.

After 2 more hours going through all the notes and making a plan for what information we want to get at the next meeting Peter and I leave the office. I head to Christina's apartment to get ready for date night, because she insisted on letting her give me a makeover. I normally would have refused since I know Tobias likes how I look, but tonight feels special, so I agreed to the torture.

I arrive at Christina's just as Will does and he lets me in. I guess they have been living together too. Christina is waiting for me, with all of her makeup on a table in front of a huge mirror. There is a garment bag hanging off of one side of the table, which I assume holds the dress she told me I couldn't see until tonight. This makes me nervous because Christina's fashion sense and mine are on completely opposite ends of the spectrum, but she promised not to put me in something too tight or short. She immediately sits me down in front of the mirror and shoes Will out of the room, claiming girl time. I chuckle lightly.

"So…any idea what Four has planned for the evening?" She asks me.

I shake my head and reply, "Nope. He has been secretly planning this for a whole week now and he won't even give me the tiniest clue."

She laughs and says, "Good for him, you deserve to be spoiled and surprised."

"I guess I am really excited, I just don't like not being able to prepare myself for whatever is going to happen." I whine.

"Ha" Christina scoffs, "Your boyfriend is taking you out on a nice date, what exactly do you need to prepare for?"

"I don't know." I concede. I sometimes hate logical thinking.

Christina goes back to working on my hair. Until I ask, "How are you and Will doing? Are you guys enjoying your jobs and everything?"

"Meh, my job is kind of boring for dauntless." She replies. "I mean a part from the sneaking around spying on the leaders that is"

"Yeah, speaking of which, have you gathered any more intel about the Erudite plans?"

"Today they were in a meeting talking about dates and times of something important, but I don't know what it was. I wrote down the dates and times anyways and I put it in the folder I have for our next meeting." explains Christina.

I sigh and nod. Soon Christina finishes with my hair and makeup and it is time for me to put my dress on. Christina takes it out of the bag and I almost start tearing up when I see it. It is perfect. The whole dress is a dark blue material and the top is strapless and covered with black lace. The bottom part flows down from the waist to knee length. I can't believe that Christina found this dress for me for tonight. I hug her tightly and she hugs back just as tight. I put the dress on and admire myself in the mirror before it's time to leave.

Christina hugs me again and then hands me an envelope. She smiles slyly as I open it and read.

Meet me at our special place. I'll be waiting

-T

I grin back at her and practically fly out the door, not wanting to wait another second to see, and kiss Tobias. Just as I turn the corner leading into the pit a fist comes out of nowhere and hits me hard on the side of my head. I don't know how I stay conscious, but even with black covering most of my vision I swing out with my elbow as hard as I can and hear a grunt upon its impact. They whisper a curse and the next thing I know my feet are swept out from underneath me and my head hits the wall on the way down. All I can see is darkness and I am gone.
