Hello everyone! First of all, I'd like to thank you all for reading, and also for the wonderful reviews that I got. I really appreciate it! I love hearing what you guys think and It means a lot to me that you like the story or care enough to help make it better. Thanks so much! I just got back from a trip today, and I am proud to say that this chapter is up the soonest it could be with the circumstance. I will try to update as quickly as possible! Feel free to leave a review to bug me if I don't update!

On Tris's character and her relationship with Tobias:

I understand that I have made Tris's character different by a wide margin, and that's one of the things that I am really not proud of in this story, but I'm going to try to correct her as much as possible in the next few chapters.

I am also realizing that their relationship is unrealistically too perfect. I will try to make it more realistic in that regard.

On earlier chapters:

I know these are really not all that good or realistic, (not that any of the chapters are..) but the typos and misspellings are due to me being not such a good speller in the past as well as a mild case of Dyslexia. I misspell words a lot. It sucks. I'm sorry. I do realize that tomorrow is the correct spelling, and have corrected that in recent chapters that occured before your review that told me what I already know. Thanks anyways.

On mountains and their absence:

Thank you for pointing that out. I actually know that, no, there are not really any mountains in the Chicago area. I live very near to Chicago and go there on a regular basis. However, this is a work of fiction, I didn't really think about the actual landscape, and lastly, we do not know anything about the time period in Divergent, (correct me if I'm wrong,) except that it's in the future. It is possible, however unlikely, that it is far enough in the future that the landscape has somewhat changed. The mountains were my mistake. That whole chapter was actually one that I was concerned about the quality of. I know it sucks. Thank you for reminding me. But honestly, my mistake, sorry.

Again, I really appreciate the continued support in reviews, or even just reading the story with an open mind. Sorry about the long author's note. Thanks.


When I wake up the next morning, Tobias is still asleep next to me. I glance at the clock to see that it is only 6:14 AM. The sky is still pretty dark, but I'm not tired so I decide to get up.

I get into the shower before waiting for it to heat up and feel the freezing water hitting my back. I like the feeling so I tilt my head back into the cold stream. The water rushes through my hair and down my neck, and my body feels numb but so alive at the same time. The water starts to warm and the feeling fades into the familiar comfort of a a warm blanket being wrapped around my body.

When I am done in the shower, I wrap up in a towel and go into the room to get some clothes. I pick out a pair of Yoga Capri leggings and a black sports bra with a see-through lacy back.

When I head back to the bathroom, I realize the floor is all wet, so I decide to change in our bedroom. When I check back to see that Tobias is still sleeping, I start changing, facing away from the sleeping Tobias. Just as I'm about to finish getting dressed and pull on the sports bra, I feel his eyes on me. I can tell when he's watching.

I turn just my head, and see Tobias grinning back at me, suppressing a laugh. I glare at him.

"Tobias. Get your dirty little eyes off of me. I am not a piece of candy for a little child like you to gawk over."

But he doesn't. He just stands up and walks towards me, still grinning. I can't turn my head.

"But it's so hard when the most perfect girl in Dauntless is standing before me- topless. What do you expect?"

"Just shut the hell up Tobias. Seriously."

"What?" He asks innocently.

"Just because you called me the most perfect girl in Dauntless and you are giving me that goddamned perfect smile doesn't mean that I am going to let you see me right now. Not like this."

Tobias smiles and closes his eyes. He walks closer, putting his arms out to exaggerate that he can't see, even stumbling into a piece of furniture as he walks towards me. The he finds his way to me and wraps his arms around me and kisses my neck.

"This doesn't mean that you get to open your eyes, asshole. I know what you're doing."

"Somebody's a little grumpy today, huh?"

He keeps kissing. He works down to my front and kisses down my stomach, eyes still closed. I get nervous and pull my hands up to cover myself. I will not let him win. Then Tobias stands up and kisses me on the mouth. He presses his bare chest against me and my hands are the only things separating my chest from his.

He rests his forehead to mine, and whispers, in his stupid, sexy, out-of-breath voice "It's okay Tris."

And I can't hold off any longer. I can't help it. I want to- I want to so bad. To not let him win. To not give into him. But I can't. I slide my hands away and press myself into him. I kiss him hard while his mouth is still open and I feel him smile against my lips.

"I win." He whispers- so quiet I almost don't hear.

"How do you make me so weak?" I respond back in a quiet, cracked voice.

He pulls away, looking me straight in the eyes. "You have never been weak, Beatrice Prior. Never. You just can't see the strength in yourself. You did this to me. I would do anything for you. I have never felt that way. Never. Not about anyone. You are more powerful than you know."

I don't know what to say. He makes me feel so strong but so weak at the same time. It is a feeling I can't quite explain. I glance at the clock, and it reads 6:39.

"You better get ready." I say. "We have to go in early to answer questions."

Tobias nods and starts to walk towards the bathroom. While he is turned around, I put the sports bra on.

"..and Tobias?"

"Yeah?" He answers.

"You didn't win." I say, satisfied that I got my way.

He narrows his eyes in thought. "Tris, I don't want to sound like a cheesy anniversary card, but just being with you is winning."

I glare back, not accepting his stupid answer.

His smirk comes back and I know that now he's got something good. "But for the record, I've already won. Yesterday." He winks and continues into the bathroom.

While he takes a quick shower, I put a loose black running tank top on over my sports bra and put on my makeup. When Tobias gets out, He gets dressed quickly, and by 6:50 we are ready to go. We are planning on eating breakfast after talking with the initiates.

When Tobias and I get to the assigned training room, there are already a few people waiting outside. Tobias pulls out the keys and we enter. Not long after, the training room is filled with initiates. Surprisingly, almost all of them have showed up. Tobias and I gather everyone and quiet them down.

"So. Here are the rules. Listen closely, because there are consequences that follow rules broken by our standards, and the rules will be spoken once and only once. First of all, you may ask any questions that you would like, but before we start the session, everyone must be injected with a serum which will cause you to forget anything from the landscape to after this session. You are consenting to allow us into your thoughts, actions, and feeling of the recent day or two. If you would no longer like to participate,you may leave now."

Tobias and I wait, looking around for anyone who wants to leave. A few initiates whisper questions to their friends or shake their heads nervously, but when all is said and done, everyone stays. What is it that they say? Curiosity killed the cat. I feel a burst of cruel excitement when I think about getting to see their thoughts and memories. However, it is fleeting. It twists into fear when I think about what that may mean. But I am determined. My face is hard with resolve to answer any questions that are thrown my way.

I will not break down.

I will be strong.

I will be brave.

"No one?" Tobias continues, "Okay. Then I'll continue. You may ask either of us anything about anything. We do not have to answer, but there will most likely be no official punishment for asking a certain question. You will forget at 9:00am. Questions end at 8:45. Breakfast is open to you all as soon as you have a signed release paper from the serum and memory department at the infirm. You must check the paper in with us and then you may leave. If you are asked to leave the session, you must do so quickly and without trouble. You will wait in a designated room until 9:00. The infirmary will scan your memories to make sure they are correctly reset. Do not lie, because they will find out immediately. Any additional rules may be added as we go. Let's start."

Alana is the first to raise her hand. Of course. This should be an interesting question.

"Yes. Alana." I answer.

"Have you and Four had sex?"

I smirk at the idiotic question. "Yes."

"Four?"

"What?"

"Was she good? I think we all know the answer, but I want to hear you say it. Don't worry. You won't hurt her."

"Well..." Tobias starts, "She's so good you wish you could have sex with her. Seriously. She's the best."

Alana frowns and rolls her eyes, as if she would know. I feel a warmth spread inside me and I want so badly to kiss Tobias. I want him right now. I want him so badly.. but I can't. Tobias knows and glances at me. He steps closer and wraps his arm around me, a little lower then normal, and settles it on my butt. I grab his shirt and kiss him on the neck for a second because I am too short to kiss his head at this angle.

"Why though? We all know that you could do so much better. Seriously? Six?"

"I think we've been over this." Four interjects, trying to keep level headed. There is steel in his voice.

"I think you just want her because she's easy. You can have your little fuck toy. But if you want to be with a real woman.."

Tobias cuts her off. He slips out his knife and presses it to her neck. "If you ever call her that again, I swear, I'll kill you. The last time your family will ever see you will be when they mail your body back in a wooden box." She still stares at me, smirking, but she shuts her mouth.

I decide to wipe that goddamned smirk right off of her face. "How many boys have you fucked, huh Alana? Let's turn the tables a little bit. Please, do tell us." I say, walking up to her.

"I've had sex plenty of times, actually. It won't be long until it's been another. Maybe I'll even let you watch.."

"Sounds to me like you're the fuck toy." I say, and then I kiss Tobias hard, and he catches on, pulling off my shirt. He removes his own and kisses down my neck. Suddenly I realized that we have nearly an hour left here and and I am glad that I have a sports bra on. Tobias kisses my neck and pushes me against the wall. I wrap my legs around him, and look at Alana while he kisses me.

"Maybe i'll even let you watch."

Alana is not longer smirking, but staring sullenly at Tobias, who is just putting on a show now. He is running his hands all over my body and under my clothes, and kissing me all over. He is even grinding on me a bit. I kiss him back on the lips, and then whisper in his ear that we've done enough. He looks at me with a great big goofy smile, and then whispers in his fucking sexy voice, "To be continued?" Just loud enough to be heard by the initiates if they're listening. I giggle and nod. He sets me down and we walk back in front of the initiates. (Yes, that's a Looking For Alaska reference. :)

"Next question?" Tobias asks, smirking.

Liza raises her hand. "Liza?" I ask.

"Do your fears change? Can they? Did yours specifically?"

"Yes." I answer. "They can. Mine have changed a lot since The Splitting and since Tobias became the most important thing in my life."

"What about your parents? Siblings? What happened to them?"

"My parents were killed in the war, and my only brother tried to kill me. He is serving the city with the factionless now I believe. Four is my only family now."

Liza nods respectfully, not forcing elaboration, which I appreciate.

"Who are the people in the fear in Abnegation? Why are you afraid of them?"

I look to Tobias for approval, and he nods, locking his fingers with mine. "It isn't them that I'm afraid of, first of all. It's myself. The fear is that I am just like them. I also have a fear that I have to kill Four, or someone that I love, for selfish reasons. I can never do it. I always have to kill myself instead. And yes, that bullet in my brain hurts for a moment before the simulation switches. The fear in Abnegation is what happens when I do kill them. Because I won't do it in the other fear, it forces me to do it in this one. There is no way out. The man is Four's father, Marcus Eaton, and the woman is Jeanine Matthews. Jeanine is the face behind The Splitting and the woman who tortured Four and I and tried to execute me."

Mady's hand comes up next.

"What are you're real names?" Tobias answers. Six is the only one who knew my name in Dauntless before. Now it is a bit more well known. My name is Tobias Eaton." Tobias looks down. I squeeze his hand.

"I am Beatrice Prior. Tris or Six in Dauntless."

Alvin is the next to ask.

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

"Yes." I answer.

"Both of you? How many people?"

"Yes. I don't know how many. I couldn't keep track. I have killed people directly and I have been the cause of many deaths and I regret it every single day of my life. Killing is not something to take lightly."

Tobias glances at me as he starts. "But, if we had another chance, we would've done the same thing. We did what we had to do. Right Tris." He whispers the last part and gives me a stern look. I press my lips together.

"There could have been another way."

Tobias shakes his head, annoyed.

"We'll talk about this later." He says. I feel a pit in my stomach because I don't want to talk about it.

Delilah raises her hand smiling. "Delilah?" I ask.

"Who's the better fighter? You or Four?"

I smile. "There's only one way to find out."

Alana decides to speak again now. "This is stupid. We all know who is going to win. Four is way bigger. Six couldn't take down a five year old. And even if she did win, it would only be because Four won't want to hurt her. He'd go easy on her."

"Four doesn't go easy on anyone." I respond.

"Especially not Six." He adds, grinning at me mischievously. I casually flash him my middle finger with a sarcastic smile and Alana shuts her mouth.

Tobias drags a mat over and we get ready. Our shirts are still off, so we just take our shoes off. For a moment, we just walk around each other, waiting for the other to make the first move. Then I get tired of waiting. Tobias is watching my feet to anticipate my swings, so I step with the wrong foot to throw him off. It works. I hit him in the mouth, and a little spout of blood trickles down his chin. He smiles and wipes it off.

"Oh, you're in for it now, Ms. Prior.
