A/N My editor is still sick :( This chapter is probably not suitable for rape victims or those who are deeply troubled by it. I guess that means this is a *trigger warning*.

Chapter 10: Stop.

The group of transfer initiates all sit in the hallway outside the simulation room, we've been at this for a few days now. I've discovered I'm scared of spiders, being alone and not having a way to defend myself. Shae says that we aren't going to find out all of our fears but we'll know some of them. I look over at Ava who is nervously pulling at a loose string in her shirt and Jane, who sits beside her, biting her thumb nail.

Shae opens the door and lets Alan walk out, I watch as he aimlessly walks down the hall and turn my attention back to Shae who smiles and motions for me to come in.

"The fifth day is always the hardest." She says as I sit down in the chair. "Normally you experience your worst fear." She grabs the syringe and smiles at me. "Don't worry, it'll be over in a moment." Shae sticks the needle in my neck and pushes the plunger down.

I'm in my old bedroom, alone. I look around at all the photographs and posters,somethings wrong, I can sense it. I whip my head towards the door as it opens and a man walks in. He's tall with a bald head, hes dressed in an Amity yellow shirt and red pants. He starts to take off his belt.

"Don t wake your sister, I just got her to bed." He says as he unbuttons his pants.

I back my way to the wall and he watches me, his eyes greedily scanning my every movement. He steps towards me, picks me up and throws me on the floor.

" Stop!" I scream out and he slaps me.

"Shut up!" He spits as he rips off my pants.

I feel another slap but it isn't coming from him. I open my eyes just before Shae slaps me again, I'm shaking, my throat is raw from screaming. Shae looks shocked and throws her arms around me.

"I'm so sorry." I hear her whisper, she's crying.

I close my eyes and let out a breath I had been holding, my body stops shaking.

Shae explained to me that the simulation was suppose to end if my heartbeat got too fast but there was a malfunction and she knew I wasn't going to calm down, that's why she was slapping me. She said that she wasn't a fan of watching me relive through that, either. I stand in the training room, practicing my shots, trying to drone the simulation out when I feel a strong hand on my shoulder. I turn quickly, grabbing the hand and flipping the man, before I realize it I have Zach at gun point.

"WOAH!" He shouts. "HOLD UP!"

I put the gun on the table and help him up. "Sorry."

He shakes his head and looks at me. "What was it?" He asks.

"It doesn't matter." I turn and face the target.

"Was it him?" He watches me, I nod. "He's far away from here, Dean." Zach pauses. "He cant hurt you."

I nod.

"Talk to me."

"About what?" I pick the gun up and put it on the stand.

"Why were you with Jane the other night?" He smirks.

"We went out." I look at him.

"Out?" He wiggles his eyebrows.

"Yes, zip lining. And she stole my shirt." I chuckle and lean against the table, crossing my arms over my chest.

"I know the feeling." He blushes and smiles. "You know you can talk to me, right?"

"Yeah."

"About anything."

"I know." I sigh.

"Good." He pats my back and walks out.

{JANES POV}

Sitting in the pit I cant get the sound of Deans muffled screams out of my head, they were so loud you could hear them in the hallway. He didn't walk out of the hall door so she must have let him out the back. How can a man, so strong, be so scared? Its frightening.

Alan sits beside me and sighs. "Not making it into Dauntless, you?"

"Being disowned." I look down.

"Visiting day is tomorrow." He looks at me and I nod. "I don't think my parents will come."

"Why not?" I look up at him, his mouth is turned down at the corners and his eyes have dark circles around them, simulation is taking a tole on him.

"They didn't approve on me leaving Candor, said it was dishonest." He shakes his head. "They didn't even look at me when we left the choosing ceremony."

"Maybe they've come around." I say, watching him rub his face with his hands.

" I doubt it."
