Uggh hi sorry I've been gone for so long really I am. It's just last Sunday was Easter and I was going to update Thursday but my birthday was Thursday. Just for making you wait 14 days on that cliffhanger I'm going to do something I've never done before! I'm making a 2 parted chapter; this will be the first part. Since this chapter is the big showdown I will split it so consider this chapter and chapter 10 combined but not really. Thanks time:

Thanks to guest and kitty for your reviews I really appreciate it.

Also thanks to .56 and jaytaylor4 for following my story!

Blue skidoo we can too! That was… on to the story!

TRIS POV

My whole body shuts down in fear. Beads of sweat make their way to the surface of my skin even though I am nowhere near hot. Never have I ever felt so terrified that I am glued to my spot unable to escape the fear building up inside me. This was the man who captured me; captured Tobias and bond me to chair for hours. Usually Eric was never really intimidating to me. Sure he was creepy with his pierces tugging and pulling at his alabaster skin but never intimidating. I could easily beat him to a pulp but now that he has found the right spot to emotionally hurt me, I feel weak.

I feel like a child cowering in fear from getting in trouble with their parents and I don't like it. I haven't always been strong and determined like I am now but now that I have become strong and have built up this self confidence in myself; to have it taken all away it leaves me feeling naked, vulnerable. My hands are now covered with precipitation unsure if it has to do with me rubbing them back and forth or my anxiousness around Eric. Tobias must have caught my nervous glance at the opening of the pit because he turns around and suddenly his face becomes hard as stone.

I can't tell if it was subconsciously but his hands go straight for my stomach. I know what he's thinking: protect the babies. That is main priority right now, to protect them. No telling what he will do to my children if I come near him. Eric is still standing at the entrance of the pit glancing around as if he was looking for something. Well not something but someone. Us. What does he want from me, from us? This cant still be based off his jealousy towards Tobias after initiation. Who really holds a grudge for this long? This has gone too far. I want to do something about it but I still feel like the inferior subject here.

Besides even if I wanted to start a full out brawl with Eric I couldn't because of the tiny humans growing inside of me. I don't want them to grow up with a mother behind bars or not having the opportunity to grow up at all. Eric's hard set eyes finally land on us as he flashes a cocky but dangerous grin. We should have consider this before we left the building I was held in. we should have put him under the serum or whatever would inhibit him for coming back for revenge. Tobias is still staring at Eric as if he would want to kill him over and over again. He doesn't make any attempts to spur Eric on. He's trying to do his best to keep me out of harm's way; and by challenging Eric is not the best way.

Eric's strides are swift and quick while he makes his way over to our table. Tobias stands up abruptly standing in front of me as a shield. Hell is about to break loose.

TOBIAS POV

I stand up fast trying to get in front of Tris as quickly as possible. If Eric wants to fight so be it. He locked up the love of my life and knocked her unconscious repeatedly. If I wasn't busy trying to help Tris escape I would go back to make sure he doesn't attack us ever again. I glace at Tris and her face displays true horror. Something I don't see often on Tris. Usually I see the confident, amazing, strong Tris that will do anything for anybody but instead I see a scared vulnerable Tris. Her face remind me of myself back in Abnegation where Marcus would beat me. That was the face I would show every time he beat me.

Tris's hand is making small circle movements over stomach. I don't think she realizes that she is doing it. Some of the old Tris is shining through her right now; she is willing to do anything for the twins and so am I. Eric is making his way over to our table while wearing his famous smug, arrogant smirk. Eventually we are a foot away and he starts speaking.

"Four," he says

"Eric," I reply mimicking him.

"That was a naughty thing you did the other day knocking me out and stealing my hostage," he says as he smiles over my shoulder which I assume is towards Tris. It makes me furious.

"Really, well I actually quite enjoyed the knocking out part," I say copying is smug smirk. His shoulders tense as he prepares to throw the first punch. His fist connects with a face but not my face….

Remember this is just part one. Also I'm sorry this is shorter than it should be but it's late where I am and I am exhausted. But the second part will be my standard 1,000-1,500 words. You can still put in in genders and name choices for the twins. Prepare for the *cue dramatic music* ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN. I will also give you the choice to pick who was the person who got punched in the face instead of Four. There will be a poll open on my profile I won't update until I get votes on the poll. So the longer you don't vote the longer it takes for me to upload pt. 2. So vote, vote, vote.

Peace&Love~MSC
