Tris POV
Thank God the fighting stage was over! Dauntless was defiantly harder than I thought. I needed to be prepared for anything and had to be strong. Nothing could brake my confidence, nothing. Until I saw Molly be helped to the dormitory.
We sat in a white waiting room wondering what our next test would be.
"Maybe they'll make us jump of the Chasm," said Christina.
"Dauntless are crazy but not suicidal," I said. Juts then by coincidence a man shouted down the hall.
"A dude's about to jump of the Chasm, man this guy is suicidal!" Christina looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"That was a terrible example," I said.
"Well what ever it is, just know I won't let anything hurt you," said Will hugging Christina. They had finally decided to come out with their relationship and were pretty public with it. My Abnegation had died down but some part of me still wanted to break them apart.
"Guys seriously, now. I swear if we put you in separate rooms you'll claw your way out," said Lisa.
Lisa was one of the Erudite transfers who was excepted into the Dauntless initiation under 'specific circumstances'. I had helped her get use to Dauntless life and she had in turn trusted me enough to tell me about her Divergence. Lisa, Christina and I became close friends . Although I trusted her as greatly as she trusted me, I didn't tell her about Tobias' real name, background or Divergence. She did know I liked him though and that he liked me.
"Yeah dude. Please stop," said Al.
Since the incident after Visiting Day Al and I hadn't spoke much but we still hanged out when our friends were with us. I hadn't told Tobias about it or the Eric issue because I didn't want him killing someone.
Just then the door to the test room opened and Molly came out. She looked dazed and pale and had two instructors on either side of her walking her to the dormitory.
"Oh my god," Christina mouthed as Molly passed.
"Tris," Four said. I got up and trudged to the room and as the door closed I caught a glimpse of Christina mouthing 'try your best' and Leah mouthing 'don't have sex in the room' with pitiful eyes. I tried to cheer myself up but then I saw the metal chair. It brought back past memories that I tried to put behind me.
"Tris, hey, it's ok. Nothing terrifying is going to happen," assured Four as he hugged me.
"What's the char for?" I asked against his chest.
"A stimulation," he said kissing my forehead. He walked over to the computer and explained the process to me.
"At Dauntless they put your fear and bravery to the test. I'm going to have to inject you with a serum that will detect the part of your brain that controls negative emotions like fear and will show you a vision of your one of your worst fears."
"One?" I asked sitting down.
"Yeah, well, for today," said Tobias injecting the serum into my neck. I stroked my pulse softly as he put the syringe down. "Be brave Tris," he said as my vision became blurry.
(I guess most of you know what happens with the crows and stuff so yeah, carry on)
I stood p abruptly panting with fear. Tobias put a hand on my shoulder and I almost screamed. "Tris, Tris it's ok, it's over," he said soothingly. I hugged him hard as if holding on for dear life and he hugged me back.
"How did I do?" I asked.
"Tris, you were three times as fast as any other initiate so far. You should be proud." I smiled and looked up at him. His eyes were deep and blue and before I knew it I was kissing him. It was comforting and slow and made me feel warmer. Tobias ran a gentle hand over my back to my waist and my hands snaked around his neck. We were in total harmony and bliss. Nothing could go wrong, right?
An: Turns out I couldn't go to France, bummer :(
Yet I hope you like it so far. Will update comment and share pls!
P.S I know Dauntless and no other faction works that way but Lisa is in favour of my friend's dog who died plus she plays a major role in later chapters. Hope you like!
