Okay this is the final chapter I'll post for today, cause you have had three already and you cant be greedy haha. Official updating day will now be Saturday so be prepared and pumped for the Saturday updates, HOOORRRAAAYYY! Also, keep in mind, I live in Australia so my Saturday may be a day or so off from yours depending what country you are reading this from. Omg who gets super-psyched when someone overseas is reading your stories, cause I do! Anyway, enjoy the story, this chapter is pretty suspenseful…

10 ~ The Tape

I force myself to be strong and look into his eyes, trying to give the impression of being particularly bored instead of absolutely terrified. Of what- I don't know. "Tris." He smiles at me, but he seems uncomfortable. Good.

"Tob-" I stop, realising how it's always been habit to call him that. I clear my throat, "Four." I can see it hurts and I'm glad of it. When he is hurt you can't see it in his face, you see it in his eyes.

The look flits across his face and it is soon gone as quickly as it came. "Tris, I need to talk to you." The way he says it, implies he does not want it to be here.

"Oh I see. So you need to talk to me?" I surprise myself at how cool it comes out even though I am shaking inside.

He looks away and I take that opportunity to push past him and head to the control room in search of Will. I don't even bother to see that look in his eyes as I walk away. Honestly, I don't care. I head straight to the control room, my head held high.

The doors are unlocked thankfully, and I walk in where Will has his back to me. He hasn't noticed me come in and I try to catch a glimpse of what he was doing. He shoves what looked like a diamond ring in his pocket when he sees me and my heart leaps. I couldn't be sure though, I may have not seen correctly.

"What are you doing here?" He looks nervous and fumbling with something in his pocket.

"I need your help." I tell him. He looks lost and uncomfortable, "Will, what's wrong?"

"I uh…uh…" He turns his head away, his hand still in the pocket of his jacket.

I reach out and pull his hand out of his pocket and look closely at what it is clenched tightly around a small gold ring with a sparkling diamond in the centre. His eyes meet mine which around are wide with shock.

"Oh my god, Will…" It dawns on me suddenly, he is going to propose.

"Look, I didn't want anyone to know so please don't tell-"

"I won't." I cut in, "When did you plan on doing it?"

She shrugs, "I'm not sure, I'll see how I go." I give him a congratulatory hug. Maybe I was wrong, maybe there is such thing as forever. "So what brings you here?" He asks.

I look around nervously, "I'm here to ask a favour…"

"Sure. What is it?"

I bit my lip, "Could you show me the tape of the video cameras yesterday?"

He raises an eyebrow at me, "I'm afraid I'm not authorized to do that."

"Oh come on Will!" I whine, "Please?"

"Fine, fine. Just hurry up." He sits down in his chair and turns on the monitors and finds the video tapes of yesterday. It begins playing and I find myself watching an empty hallway. A few people walk by, but no one of interest.

I furrow my brow in frustrated, we'll be here all day. Will looks up at watches me, "What exactly are you looking for?" He queries.

"Just…" I hesitate, "I just want a close look at who leaves the Dauntless during the day."

"Are you looking for someone in particular?" He asks.

I nod nervously. Could he know?

"I'll speed up the tapes a bit." He holds down a button on the keyboard.

I scan the screen for him but nothing comes up until… "Wait…" I grab Will's arm, which quickly presses the pause button and looks carefully at the screen.

He stares at me, "It's just Eric, I already told you he had left."

I ignore him, "What time did he leave?"

Will presses a button which brings up the time of the recording. 10:45. "Hold on a second." I think really hard back to the other morning. I saw Eric at breakfast that morning and Mark was with me, then Mark left to go somewhere. Eric soon followed. "Rewind the tape." I order.

Will does what I tell him too and this time I look more closely at the screen. "There," I point, "Stop it there." Will pauses the tape and I see his eyes widen in surprise and confusion. He looks up at me and they widen even more at the realisation I am not surprised.

I'm not surprised, just angry. Not surprised because I had guessed this was the case before. Angry because I had guessed this was the case before and it turns out I was right.

DUNN…DUNNN…DUUUNNNN….
