Tris woke up startled. The dream had felt way too real, the way she had admitted her feelings, the dream of hers that Briar had left Sandry, and picked her, the way Gabriel was evil, the way he was killing Briar. She rubbed her eyes, and shook her head, red curls bouncing around her pale face. It had been all too real...(A/.N:That whole last chapter was a dream Tris had)

But she didn't have time to dwell on that...even thought she would later, she had to get dressed for Daja's wedding. It was that day, and she was supposed to be a bridesmaid.

"Good! Finally...you're up!" Daja's voice rang in her mind.

"Yes..although I had the weirdest dream. But anyways, are you nervous?"

"No!" Daja said, and Tris grinned, just imagining the scowl on her friends face, and then the look on it after she realized that she WAS. "Well, maybe a little..." Daja continued...

"Well, it's normal for a wedding day, isn't it?" Tris said, while pulling the blue dress over her underclothes.

"It better be!" Daja exclaimed, "But I have to go...I'll see you there"

"Gods Guide you" Tris whispered.

"Let them guide you too..."

Fire plants lined the pews, which led up to an arch, also containing the deep red and orange plant bursting from it's curls of metal. It was perfect for Daja and Kirel, who both worked with both fire and metal.

Tris stood next to Daja, as she recited her vows, with Sandry and Briar at her side. Frostpine had given Daja away, and right now they were at the last part of the ceremony. But something at the corner of Tris's eye took her attention away from the bride, over to Briar, a thin sliver of silver was going towards him, claws and fire at the tips, ready to suck the life out of him. Tris almost screamed, it was her dream, only worse, because she knew what was to happen, but couldn't help it. And just like in her dream, at the other end of the silver fire, was the emerald in Gabriel's amulet, and Gabriel, was sitting in the front row pew, steadily keeping an eye on Briar.

Tris couldn't stay in one place, she couldn't, she couldn't let one of her best-friends die right in front of her eyes, so quickly, she ran, and threw her physical self upon the mage called Gabriel, ripped the amulet off his neck, and sent winds swirling around them, which dislocated the path of the silver fire. She didn't even know what people were thinking, what they were doing around her, all she could see was the amulet she held, and the magic swirling inside of the emerald, and then a face, that beautiful, tan, wonderful face. Briar's face.

"No!" she said, frantically trying to do something, her original plan was to just destroy the emerald, but now that she saw Briar in it, she didn't dare. She now had to take the actual mage down. Rising, amulet still in her hand, she turned to face Gabriel, and the swirling winds behind him.

"You're winds are simply nothing against what I have. So give me that back to me!" he said, motioning to the amulet in her hand, "and I'll spare you"

"NEVER!" Tris shouted out in defiance, "you NEVER hurt one of my friends, NEVER!" She said, throwing her winds at him at full speed, nearly knocking him to the ground. Nearly...

"Tris!" A voice said, coming from the amulet. "Tris...destroy this, destroy it, It hasn't touched me yet...Remember? He's just trying to trick you!"

"I can't take the chanc-"

"Destroy it Tris!"

She had to listen to him, he sounded so determined, he sounded like he meant it, she had to destroy it, it was now or never, Gabriel was approaching her slowly, but surely, almost at her neck with vines.

Quickly, she drew a lightning bolt from her fingers, held the amulet as far from her face as possible, and shot at it, until it shattered, and the winds around her died, and all that was left was the limp body of Gabriel in front of her.

She stood there, with what seemed like a million people around her, staring, and gaping. The only person not doing that was Daja, who stood, with the biggest smile on her face, and said, in only a voice Daja could have, "This has to be the BEST wedding EVER!"
