I promised I would update soon, so I did . Oh, and recall the time I said there wouldn't be any more Four's PoV? Well turns out I was lying. I think this chapter is longer than the last one, if not I'm sorry.

Tobias

What the hell was I thinking? Jesus, I'm so stupid. I mean, asking her out for lunch is one thing, but nearly fucking kissing her was another. As I head up the Chasm path, feeling Tris's gaze on me the entire way, I don't look back. Because if I look back, I will go back. And if I go back I will kiss her. And if I kiss her… I shake my head to clear it of the thought. Tris is merely a target for me to dispose of because of her Divergence. But I'm Divergent. Can I really kill someone the same as me?

I don't realise I am out of the Chasm and halfway across the put until I hear my name being called from behind me. I stop mid-stride and turn slowly around, hoping that it wasn't, but at the same time was, Tris. But it was Eric. Joy.

"What is it?" I ask, sounding exasperated even to my own ears. Now is not the time to be called into a meeting or a game of capture the flag, and now is definitely not the time to have to deal with Eric.

"I need you in a meeting." Oh great, because the last meeting I was in with Eric I ended up getting assigned to assassinate someone. I wonder what this one's about, note the sarcasm. "It's about the Miss Prior situation. "He clearly did not note the sarcasm. It takes me a moment to realise he's talking about Tris and I suddenly become curious as to what he has to say about her.

"Alright, now?" Eric nods and walks off, and I follow.

.o.O.o.

The office room is the same as last time, with the same people in the same room. I sit facing Eric across the table as he stares directly at me. "It's been a week, Four," he says, leaning forward on his elbows. "It's been a week, and as far as I'm concerned, Tris Prior is still breathing. I thought I gave you a job to do, and I expect it done."

"It takes time to gain someone's trust, Eric," I snap, narrowing my eyes at him. "And as I recall, you didn't give me a deadline."

"No, I didn't. I didn't think I would have to. Anyway, I have come up with a plan to quicken up the process." Eric pauses and looks around the table. "Now, as we know, Jeanine Matthews, leader of Erudite, has been working on a system to control the Divergent. Recently she has developed a new pain inducing serum that she needs to test out, and she needs someone to test it out on-"

"Wait," I interrupt. "So I'm not killing Tris now, I'm just leading her to her death?" I'm not sure whether that's better or worse, most likely the later. "How on earth am I going to get her to do that?"

Eric smirks. "Ah, I thought of this and it's quite simple. We simply tell her that there has been a breach in the Erudite compound and she has to go and check it out along with you."

"A breech in the Erudite compound and we would only send two Dauntless?" I question.

"Two of our best, highly trained Dauntless, yes." Eric steeples his fingers together under his chin but doesn't stop looking at me.

I pause for a second, running over everything Eric has just said in my head. "Tris will never buy that."

Eric sighs, closes his eyes for three seconds, then regards me again, a dark gleam in his eyes. "Make her buy it, or else."

I get the urge to retort back with the classic 'or else what?' But decide against it, the dark look in his eyes sending a single shiver down my spine.

"The train leaves tomorrow at midnight tonight, be on it."

.o.O.o.

Tris

Well, snap. There goes that friendship. Seeing him walk off is like being slapped in the face. Being slapped in the face followed by being punched in the gut rounded off by being kicked in the shins. Ouch.

What hurts more is that he doesn't look back.

I open my mouth to call out his name but all that comes is a strangled sob drowned out by the crashing of the Chasm. I feel the prick of tears behind my eyes and will myself not to cry, but its pointless. Silent tears begin to pool in my eyes and once one falls the others follow in a steady flow and I can't stop them. I sink to the rock at my feet, not caring that the water was dampening my clothes, and sit as tears fall down my face to then be lost in the small streams of water running along the surface of the smooth rock.

.o.O.o.

I don't realise how long I have been sitting, all I know is that my face is dry of tears and the Pit is dark. Weakly, I get to my feet, and when the rush of dizziness passes, slowly start to make my way up and out of the Chasm, following the same path Tobias showed me earlier.

When I emerge in the Pit there is no one around and there is hardly any light. Eerie. I can't see to the end of the Pit due to the light, or lack of it, so I trust my senses and make my way up the stairs and to my apartment.

I manage to unlock the door successfully in the dark and flip the switch flooding the rooms with light. My room is a mess; clothes strewn all over the floor, my hair dryer hanging off my dressing table and my towel from this morning unceremoniously draped over the foot of the bed. Tugging my shoes off, I climb into bed, suddenly feeling the heavy drag of fatigue, and crawl under the covers still fully clothed and fall asleep, the lights still switched on.
