Okay so this chapter came by really quickly also because I had a really good image in my head and also because I've kept you in the dark for so long. Here's how it's going to work. This chapter will be split into two parts. The reason why it is in two parts is because the POVs both out together would just make you carry on reading without absorbing the information first. and also for the sake of suspense;) hahaha ;p
This is going to be one of those chapters where a LOT is going to take place. A LOT. so please be aware of that. Also, please ensure that you UNDERSTAND the chapter properly as the other will not make sense without it. Trust me, at the end you guys are going to understand a lot , just enjoy the chapter! It's my gift to you x ;))))
D.D xoxo

Part One - Tris POV
"What the hell David?" I scoff. My hair is still limp from my shower.
I struggle against the man's grip until he gives up and let's go of my hands, and I rub my wrists soothingly.
Luckily for me, I wasn't pulled out of my room whilst I was still in the shower.
When I look at David, his neck is slightly purple. I grin at the thought that someone decided to do that before I did.
He doesn't say a word, his lips pursed together and his face is emotionless, like a robot,but it shouldn't scare me. Although, whoever did that to him must've really ticked him off.
The door opens and I see another person being literally dragged into the room by their collar.
Why would David bring him in the same room?
Out of curiosity I turn to look at them, but before I can see their face David snaps my attention away.
I shouldn't even have to look. There is only a shortlist of people that would happen to know both me and David.
"You see, Tris, everything has its consequences."
Please no.
"You die, I die too."
Please, no.
But out of the corner of my eye, I can see a lock of brown hair, a hooked nose and the set of deep blue eyes staring straight at me.
I feel my knees give away beneath me and my heart rate quickening from both fear and excitement and anger from David's part.
"Tris.." He breathes, his voice broken and uneven.
Tobias.
"You know what? I think we should let them have their own little reunion." David says with such sweet venom. On queue, he walks out of the room with the other man.
My throat is right and no words come out except
"Tobias.."
He scrambles up from the floor and tries to limp towards me, but I'm already ahead of him. We crash together in a heap of tears and embraces.
In a second, his lips are on mine so firmly yet so softly. His body is pressed right against mine yet the distance is so far, my hands pull him closer still.
I'm surprised when he breaks away so suddenly. Fear goes through me when a smile is plastered to his face.
"You're not real." He simply says.
A chill goes through my spine.
I did this to him. He can't tell the difference. He doesn't even know me anymore.
My fingers trail to the sides of his face, forcing him to stare straight at me.
"No," My lip quivers, "It's me..Tobias look at me." I plead.
He turns his head away but holds my hands.
My heart starts to beat rapidly.
He doesn't know me.
"You need to stop doing this. Stop hurting me, Tris." he beggs. When he turns around again to face me, his face is full of sadness and regret. His fingers slip out of my reach, the air around them making them feel bare and incomplete.
"Tobias.." I stifle a sob, but I don't argue.
I know he's right.
"The Tris I knew didn't put me last." His eyebrows knit together. "She thought about me the whole time, always thinking about me, not let a traitor stand between us."
My mind goes blank and I feel the colour drain from my face.
This isn't real.
I gasp and sit up in the chair, rubbing beads of sweat off my forehead and tears out of my eyes.
"Nice work Tris. You were in there seven minutes and thirty seconds though..." David trails off.
Eleven minutes?
Scarlett stands next to my chair waiting anxiously, her fingernails are slightly bitten. I forgot that Erudite never went through their fear simulations like the dauntless, so she doesn't know what to expect. I should've warner her, but then she would've realised I eavesdropped.
I smile, trying to convince her that it's going to be okay. But I don't even believe it myself.
I step off the raised chair and go and sit on one of the sofas in David's room. I frown: I can't even remember how I got into that chair.
My heart still throbs loudly with fear.
It took me longer to get out of there, but I knew it wasn't him- Tobias is too selfless to say something like that.
But it felt so real.
My head screams with pain, probably from the serum. But that's almost impossible considering all the other serums they tested on me. Why would I react to this one?
I decide to blame all the crazy thoughts inside my head.
I straighten out my shirt in front of me - the same one I had in the simulation, I realise. David must've upgraded the serum..
My fingers run through my hair too, just as a precaution, but it's not damp anymore.
Scarlett is whimpering as the serum takes effect on her. I look at David, who is busy watching the screen in front of him intensely. But something's definitely wrong when I see purple peeking through his turtleneck at the top.
And when was he wearing that shirt?
