A/N: First off, to Zahira312, You are completely right! I did realize just after publishing the chapter that Eric is definetly supposed to be dead. Sorry about that! It was a little late to fix the mistake, so i'm going to say that ERIC SURVIVED IN THIS STORY. Thanks for catching that!

Now, here is the long awaited chapter 10, especially for my two contsest winners! Please review, favorite, follow, or whatever you do if you have liked this story so far! I check my reviews daily and read every single one! It feels great to see that so many of you like it!


I wake up with a pounding headache and tears steaking my face. I know why. I had a nightmare. I turn over seeking Tobias's warmth, but he is not there. My heart jumps. What if it was more than a nightmare. I am frozen in place as I try to calm myself down.

"Tris? Are you okay? Four didn't want to leave you, but he went to get us breakfast and migrane medication. You were crying in your sleep. Screaming even. We couldn't wake you up. Do you... Do that a lot?"

"Sorry Chris. You probably didn't get a very good sleep then."

"You're avoiding my question. Look Tris. I don't know exactly what happened when you were gone all of those weeks in Erudite, and then Four followed you, and no one knew what to think.. And it was all a mess. It still is. But whatever happened in there, I know it wasn't good. I can tell what's keeping you up, Tris. I was a Candor. I know you cared a lot about Will, and your parents, and Mar, and Caleb, but you care about him the most. Something happened in there that you can't get out of your head. Tell me what it is."

"How long do we have?"

"Plenty of time." I sigh. Christina will get it out of me if it's the last thing she does.

"I had a nightmare." I say, hoping I can get away with just that.

"Expand?" She responds. Darn.

"When I was held prisoner in Erudite, Jeanine Mattews wanted To- uhmm... Four to give her the locations of the factionless safe houses. She tried everything on him I imagine. When I saw him, he was in bad shape. His voice was scratchy from all the screaming..." I trail off a bit. " screaming for.. Me." I look down and take a breath. Christina sits still, listening intently.

"Jeanine soon concluded that the only way to get to him, was by hurting me. And as she described it, fear was far stronger than pain. She couldn't break either of us before this. We were immune. He was my only weakness, just like I was his. So Jeanine prepared a serum for me that was created when she was developing the Dauntless serums. It had to be thrown out because of the way it made the mind forget anything but fear. It dug down and found the worst fears, and combined them into something much more than fear. It was an emotion that should not exist. I couldn't think. The simulation had too much to describe, but the worst part was... It was.."

I begin to sob. I try to hold my tears back, but it ends up sounding choked. "The worst part was when I had to watch Four kill himself. I thought it was real. I couldn't think. I couldn't manipulate the simulation. The next thing I knew, I was awake again, and Four pressed his forehead to mine, and all I could think was that it was over. It was over and I had Four and it would be okay for now.. But they tore him away from me. I cried for a long time. God Christina. I had to re-live one of the worst moments in my life."

"There have been worse Tris! Oh god! Why didn't you tell me! Oh c'mere!" She pulls me into a hug and smooths my hair. "You're so brave. Shhh... It's okay. You're okay now."

I hear someone walk towards me, so I look up. Tobias is back. He pulls me into a hug and kisses my forehead.

"That's what you saw?" He asks, on the verge of tears himself. I nod.

"You were listening? Oh god Four, sorry. You didn't need to hear that." I whisper in a raspy voice. He presses his lips together and shakes his head from left to right.

"No. Don't be sorry. Shh... Don't be sorry for anything Tris." He pulls me into him more, and a scilent tear falls from his deep blue eyes.

"I should go now." Christina says, breaking the long scilence. "I'm sorry Tris. I'm really sorry.. For everything I said... About Will." And before I can respond, she leaves. Four and I stay on the bed, holding each other, but we can't get back to sleep. Finnaly, it's around 6:00 and we get ready for the day.

"Before we go to the training room," Four starts, "We've got a... Surprise." I follow him with only a confused look as a question. "Here we are." He says, stopping in front of his office. I hear two female voices inside.

"Who.." I start, but Tobias cuts me off.

"Just go in and find out for yourself." I cautiously turn the handle and swing open the door.

"Hello." I say, glancing back at Four, confused.

"I'm Six. And you are?" I ask, extending my hand. One girl, a small blonde, extends her hand to meet mine.

"Liza Maria."

"Interesting name." I respond.

"I could say the same to you and.. Four."

"So you've met him?"

"Breifly, yes. He came in about a half an our ago. Said to wait here for a while."

"And you are?" I say, turning to face the other girl. She is also blonde, but she is taller and tanner than the other girl. They don't look related.

"Tatyana Zachary." I nod my head.

"Six. So what are you two doing here?"

What she says next surprises me so much that I do not believe her at first.

"We're from outside the fence."

I have never met anyone from the outside. After the war, it was discovered that many lived there, but life was terrible. They lived on their own, tearing through the thick jungle that used to be what was called, "The continental United States of America." Life was a struggle for them. A chore in itself. Many would die before coming here though. They were scared. Still, we did get about 25, I had heard, when the war was over.

"Well," I say after a long scilence, "Welcome to Dauntless."
