Tris POV:

The train gets closer and closer to the stop. I wonder what would happen if Tobias was alive. If he saw me now, what would he think? Would he like my dark hair? My pixie cut? The way my body changed from the pregnancy? My over-protective mother side? All of this is cut off when the train comes to a halt. My eyes meet with Christina's. I never realized how much I missed my best friend. I wave at her and she stares for a few seconds, taking in my new image. Then she runs to me and throws her arms around my neck. "You have no idea how much I've missed you!"

"The only thing is I have missed you more! You're the first person I've seen from Chicago for 15 years." She pulls away.

"WHAT?! You haven't seen-" then she bites her lip.

"What were you about to say?"

"That you're becoming Candor figuring out the truth and lies."

"Fine. I'll let you go this time." Liz walks over.

"Hi! You must be Liz. I'm Christina." She states proudly "Your mom and I used to kick ass together! You should have seen her, she ranked first."

"What does she mean 'ranked first'" Liz asks suspiciously.

"There will be an explanation soon enough. Let's go to my place." then she stops "Tris, my home is in Erudite. We will go the shortest way and I am here for you." I almost cry right here on the spot, but I have to stay strong.

"Okay. I'll do my best. I also go by Bea. New place, new name." She smiles and when we walk in and I can hardly hold myself together.

This is where I was almost killed...Where they tested the serums on me...where the killed Tobias.

Christina seems to notice I am about to break so she takes us to a hallway.

Then, I felt an ache in my chest. I fall to the ground and struggled to breathe. I fell shaking, like the Earth is falling apart. Liz started screaming. I feel Christina's arms wrap around me.

"What going on Christina?" Liz asked, nearly in tears.

"Your Mom's having a panic attack, there are a lot of bad memories here. Don't worry, she'll be okay." Christina holds me close, until the I feel better. Now I have to deal with tears. It feels like they will never go. "It's ok Tris, she isn't here anymore. She won't hurt you ever again."

"Who and what are you talking about? Why is my mom crying?" Taylor asked, worried.

"It's not something that is a concern right now, give her a little bit of time to recover. A lot happened here."

Liz sits down and does just as she's told, or at least I think so. Both Liz and Christina help me to Chris' apartment. When we walk in, I am walking on my own again. The apartment looks so much like Chris. "Jase, my husband, would be here, but he is on a trip for business."

With that, Chris goes to get ready for bed. "Let's get some sleep Liz." She doesn't argue and we go to sleep.

Chris POV:

I'm just about to fall into a deep sleep when I hear a knock on the door. I get up to see who's there and when I see who it is I put my hand in his mouth. I hear footsteps and half yell "go back to bed, there's no one important here." I hear footprints going back to bed and I step outside.

"Four, why are you here?"

"Who was that?"

"Some old friend I don't want to introduce."

"Fine, although I don't believe you." Thank you! She can't know Four is alive.

"What do you need?" He hesitates for a minute.

"Do you think that I belong with Mia? I don't feel a spark, I never did! I only love Tris." Uh Oh.

"Then call it off, you'd have to spend the rest of your life with her. Plus, none of us like her." The group never liked Mia. She is cocky and "cares" about Four only because of his looks.

"Maybe I will, thanks, Christina. You always know what to say… And one more thing. What should I do if I had a dream about Tris being hurt and I can't do anything about it?" Shit!

"Ignore it, probably a sign you don't love Mia."

"Alright, and tell me if you have any new advice for the initiates. It's getting a little boring." He tells me before he leaves. Now I am in the middle of this damn mess.


What?! Crazy I know. Next chapter is aptitude testing, I'll go through Tris' and Liz's.
