Hello everyone! I'm back, and I have actually written something to publish! I have looked back on my previous chapters, and in hindsight, I see that they kind of suck. You have my deepest apologies and I will try my very best to resurrect this story and turn it into something actually worth while and not just unrealistic fluff. However, for those of you who like unrealistic fluff, never fear, I will try to keep a classy amount in there for you guys.

I also want to s/o "Finty" for being so awesome and leaving such a kind review for me. You have inspired me to continue writing.

As for the other reviewers who for some reason think that I have not yet been informed that yes, I did indeed spell the word "silent" wrong, I have been told and have acknowledged my error. I'm sorry that my misspelling bothers you that much. I will edit more carefully for spelling errors in the future. For now, if you are interested in leaving polite criticism, please do so, but let's not focus on mechanical errors unless they are so bad that they distract from the writing. They result only due to poor editing. I appreciate your concern.

On a different note, here is the long awaited new chapter. Sorry again for the obnoxiously gigantic time gap. I will hopefully be able to update regularly as Long as it is clear that people are interested in the story. Thanks for your patience and support,

Aly

Once Tobias and I had everyone in a group, organized how we wanted them, we injected each serum and Tobias started the simulation. Soon the room faded into a new scenery. I am standing in the crow field next to Tobias. It doesn't take long to notice that all of the initiates are Missing.

"Where are they?" I ask Tobias.

"They can see us but we can't see them."

I nod to show my understanding because the wind is so loud that we have to shout to hear each other. Then the first crow comes. It is dark black with two beady eyes, just as I remember it. It lands on a tree, perching itself about 5 yards away from us. The bird just sits for a moment, doing nothing. I look around, confused, but then they come. First in groups of a few, and then more. All shouting my name, and horrible other things, coming from the crows' mouths, but the voices of those who haunt my nightmares.

"I'm not dead. And I will come back for you. And him too!" Jeanine

"Why didn't you save me Tris? Four could never love you like I do." Al.

"Why did you shoot me Tris? You didn't have to do it! You didn't have to! You wanted to." Will.

The next one takes me by surprise. All of the crows are closing in, have pushed me to the ground, and I'm struggling to bat them away. Then one lands on my chest, right in front of my face, and I hear Tobias's voice.

"You're a disgusting mess. Everyday I have to pick up the pieces that you break in your own goddamned head! I hate you. But the best part is, you fall for it so easily! I never loved you. I couldn't. Just look at you."

I don't know what to do. It feels so real.. And even if it's not, what if these things are true?

I twist my head to find Tobias, but I can't see him.

I have to calm down.

I have to find a way out.

I take a deep breath and feel around on the floor for a weapon. Nothing. I bat the crows off and kick as many as I can and stand up, and run far enough that I can reach my hand into the mud. I'm not finding anything. Then I know what I have to do. I fall into the mud face first and sink below the marsh.

For a moment I think that It isn't going to work, that I'll just suffocate myself and this isn't really a simulation, but I shake off the idiotic thought because of course this is a simulation. The next second I fall into a new scene. I am in the glass tank, and Tobias is by my side again. I fall into him and he hugs me tight.

"You did great." He says.

"I fucked up. I was just panicking, it changed, and those nightmares.. I just.. I'm just.."

"You're just human."

I didn't say anything back.

Around us was a glass tank, filling up fast with water, and beyond us, outside of the tank, everyone. All of the initiates, Marcus and Evelyn, my parents, their bodies still riddled with bullets, Christina, Al, his body still mangled from the chasm, Will, a bullet hole still in his forehead, and so many others. I turn to Tobias and he is staring at the crowd.

"What?" I ask. Nothing is very different so far.

"They're horrible." Is all he says.

"What do you mean?"

"Liste..I mean, nevermind. We need to find a way out of here." But I heard what he was about to say. And I couldn't help it. I listened, but I wish I hadn't.

"NO ONE EVER LIKED YOU!"

"YOU COULD HAVE SAVED ALL OF US!"

"HE DOESN'T EVEN LIKE YOU! WHY WOULD YOU THINK SOMEONE LIKE FOUR WOULD SOMEONE LIKE YOU? OF ALL THE DAUNTLESS GIRLS, YOU'RE A FOOL TO THINK FOUR ISN'T WITH ANYONE ELSE. HE'S HOOKED UP WITH MORE GIRLS THEN I CAN EVEN IMAGINE. HE IS JUST USING YOU FOR POPULARITY!"

"That's not true at all. I love you more than anything. You know that."

I'm squeezing my leg and clenching my teeth because it helps me to not freak out and I feel like doing exactly that right now. Even though it isn't real, they're right about one thing. Tobias shouldn't be in love with me. it doesn't make sense.

I shake my head and focus on the box. I put my hands on it, and will it to become as thin as ice.

"This is how a divergent might solve this stage." Tobias shouts to invisible initiates. "You might have to be a little more creative." The water is up to my ribcage now.

I feel the glass turn cold and thin, and with one forceful hit, it shatters.

Tobias hugs me to him and kisses my forehead. When I open my eyes though, we are both treading water in an expansive ocean. The waves lap over my head and push me under. I push back up, but get shoved down again by their strength. This time I start to swim towards the rocks, the only solid thing in sight. I make it to them and grab on to an edge and start to pull myself up. When I get my stomach up, a wave hits me hard, and I get pulled back into the water, leaving a stinging gash up my side. I look for Tobias and tread water, but my vision is getting blurry from the blood loss. Tobias finds me though, and we just float there for a minute together, wrapped in each others arms.

"We have to drown." I say, shouting over the ocean roar. Tobias nods, then holds up one finger, then two, then three, and we duck underwater, still hold ing each other. Then Tobias kisses me. It catches me by surprise, considering we are currently attempting to drown ourselves, and my lungs are already burning, and I can feel myself starting to go unconscious, but it is just what I needed, because I know what he is telling me. He is telling me that even until the end, he won't stop loving me.

There you go guys! I hope you liked it! In the next chapter we will be finishing Tris's landscape. Please review with suggestions on how to do the other fears, what should change, if you like them this way, etc. Thanks for reading and I will update as soon as possible! Sorry again for the long wait!

Xo,
