Author's Note: Short update; hope to have the next part up soon! Please let me know what you guys think about the story so far! Xx

It turns out that Four doesn't actually have an office. "Instructor break room," he said, leading me into the spacious room. "Whenever we need to get away from all the commotion and take a nap or eat or just hang out, we come here."

"So why do you guys eat in the dining hall with the rest of us?" I asked, sitting down on a very comfortable couch, Four sitting next to me.

"We need to be around in case there's any problems. Also, the more you guys see us, the more you're likely to trust us," he shrugged. "The leaders get their own space like this as well, to have meetings and things like that."

I nodded, appreciating that he was telling me things.

"So, I wanted to talk to you about my landscape today-"

Four shifted nervously, turning to face me directly. "We're not really supposed to discuss that, Victoria. Phase two is really in your hands; it's different for everyone so we can't really do much except tell you to breathe deeply and remember that it's just a dream."

I shifted my body as well to look at him straight on. "No, I know that. It's just that mine was so weird, and Eric said that I got out of it willingly? How does that even happen? Were we supposed to do more than one today?" I asked.

Four's expression hardened. "So your landscape just stopped after one dream?"

I swallowed. "Yeah. It was... Something that I really didn't want to see was going to happen and I could feel myself panicking..." I trailed, my eyes searching Four's for some explanation.

"Hmm," he thinks for a second. "I don't think that's totally impossible. Fear can shut you down or wake you up. Your body might have been full of so much adrenaline that it forced the serum out of your body..." With this, his eyes quickly flicked to mine, again narrowing. It didn't feel suspicious, like Eric's states sometimes were. It just felt like Four was trying to understand me.

"So I should be able to continue normally tomorrow, you think? Get through all my fears? How many of them are there supposed to be?"

"Well, some people have several really bad fears, you'll know which they are when you confront them. I'm sure that the one you had today was one of those," he raise an eyebrow.

I nodded, glad for his words. I felt myself relax. I allowed myself to get a really good look at Four now. He was very handsome. I felt myself mentally blush at this and decided to ask him some other questions.

"So, Four, do you have any tattoos?"
The corner of his lips turned up in a half smile. "Some, sure."

I tilt my head to the side. "Can I see them?"

He raises an eyebrow. "Here?" I smirk at him. "What, are you scared?" I taunted.

Four narrowed his eyes at me playfully. "Have you still been training?" He asked, artfully ignoring my question. I decided not to push him and shook my head. "We haven't really paused since initiation started."

He nodded understandingly. "The training room is still open. The one we used is only for initiates; there are other gym areas that members of Dauntless can use so don't be afraid of running into people there. Use this time, Victoria. You're good. You're really good, but from here you can only get better," Four advices, and I can hear the honesty in his voice. I smile.

"I always said that to my brother, when he helped me train-" I stop and feel a sinking feeling deep in my stomach, just like I did in my landscape. I close my eyes at the slip and feel the anger- at my self- begin to form. Why couldn't we just keep talking about tattoos?

Before Four could reply, I open my eyes again and laugh. Actually laugh like a crazy person.

"Ah, yes, there it is. I guess if anyone as going to find out, it may as well be you," I shook my head again, looking at anything but Four.

"Victoria," he says, his voice lower. "If we are going to talk about anything... Sensitive, we have to do it in private, do you understand? Now, do you want to tell me? If you don't, that's fine, I can pretend like this never happened. But it's better that you have an ally that knows the ins and outs of this place," he looks at me with concern.

"Okay, yeah let's go somewhere else. Wait- where can we go?" I ask, standing.

"My room is free," Four replies, walking to the door.
