I do not own any of the characters, or the original plotline of this story

Sorry for not updating in a couple days but I was not on the computer. Figure Skating Competitions :)

Chapter 6

Tris' POV

This will be my second time in his fear landscape and I am almost certain things have changed. I am almost certain I will be in it. And I am almost certain the rest of the things will stay the same.

Maybe we'll both be referred to as Five by the end of today.

Maybe. But I doubt it. At least one of his fears probably disappeared. At least one.

He injects me with the orange simulation liquid, and then he injects himself. We grasp hands tightly, and hold each other close waiting for it to begin.

And after 60 seconds it does. We appear on top of the ferris wheel, clinging to the rungs. We are against our will forced to climb upwards. He stares at me with wide eyes, but keeps climbing.

I am not scared of heights, so I just climb completely unphased by it. But Tobias looks like he's about to faint, so I try to calm him down.

"Just 10 more rungs" I say "Then we'll get out. Then it will be over."

He nervously says "Thank you Beatrice." Even though he tries to put on an act, like he's not scared. As if he's OK. I can see right through it. I'm the only one who can see through his acts.

We grasp the last rung, and pull ourselves onto the platform. As soon as his foot touches it, we reappear in a small box. Just big enough for our two bodies. I remember this one, and I remember exactly what we have to do. Most of the time he would love being this close to me. But not when we're in this small box, he's claustrophobic of course. His fears are more rational than mine, but not much more.

I crouch down, pulling his warm hand until he forces himself to crouch down next to me. He kisses me, because I'm what's helping him get through this. I'm the only thing.

I count down from five, and we dissolve into a different fear.

"oh no." I whisper. We are standing in the same living room that was in my fear simulation with Marcus. The same one with the grey couches, grey walls, and grey everything. I know which simulation this is. This one is his worst fear, and I know it.

Marcus appears standing in front of Tobias with a belt and he screams at Tobias "This. This is for your own good!" And he whacks him a couple of times with the belt. Tobias cowers, but I comfort him and he stays calm.

I can't contain my hate for Marcus. It burns through me so deep. I never literally saw him abuse Tobias, but I know he did it. Every. Single. Night. It's why Tobias chose Dauntless. If it didn't happen we probably wouldn't have each other, but I would rather that than him go through all the pain. All that sorrow every single time he would come home from school.

I remember the memory that came back to me a couple of weeks ago, and a teardrop forms in my eye. That's what those scars were. He was thirteen, so I would have been eleven. Three years before he transferred. Four years after his father started abusing him, after his mother "died". Or left him alone with his father to be beaten. Tobias forgave her, but I never did. I guess I value him more than he values himself.

But then Tobias overcomes the fear. He calms himself, and takes the belt from Marcus. He strikes Marcus with the belt and for once I wish the simulations were real. I know right now he feels the same way. He wish he would've done this as a kid. But he can only wish.

Then we appear in the next part of the fear simulation. A second me is standing in front of the target. I gasp. We are in the training room. This is the day I took Al's place in front of the target, and Tobias stabbed my ear. That day. I thought Tobias hated me. I thought he was taunting me. But he wasn't. He was reminding me. He was trying to give me hints that he liked me. Wow was he bad at that. Stabbing a girl in the ear? Great way to let her know you like her.

But I stop in my train of thoughts as I hear simulation Eric scream at Tobias. Strike her in the head. Strike her in the head five times, otherwise I'll kill her and you myself.

Tobias breaks down. I guess he cares about me as much as I care about him. I will admit I was expecting this, but not in the form of this knife scene. I was expecting him to be forced to kill me or be shot. But this... I don't even know what decision I would make. I would probably let Eric kill him, and me because I don't think I could kill Tobias myself. Plus, then we'd still be together.

That's all that matters. If we are together. It doesn't matter where we are. Whether it's heaven or earth (even though I'd like to get married and have kids first) we'd still be with each other forever.

I watch him closely, waiting patiently for him to make his decision. I hope he chooses to kill me, but I know that won't be his choice.

I am right. He hands the knife to Eric, and Eric strikes us both with the knife. But before simulation me, and Tobias slump to the ground we grab hands.

I hope when we die we die together. I wouldn't want to ever live a day without him. Even in heaven

The fear simulation ends. We appear on Dauntless ground and I hold his hand tight.

"You should've chosen the other option" I say

He replies "I could never live without you. You know that."

I sigh. "I guess so. But you could always find another girl."

"Beatrice. I could never find another girl."

A/N

I'm finally done writing the fear landscapes! That was really difficult to do, because I just really didn't want to screw it up. My favorite line that I've written so far though is the last line of this Chapter. Fourtris is my favorite fandom. I need the third book like now.
