Nightmares ~ Chapter 5
Tris's POV
"Tris," Tobias says.
"Yeah?" I reply.
"Come with me."
"Okay."
We walk out the door of Tobias's apartment and through the Dauntless compound. As we pass through the pit, we see all the Dauntless, having fun. I can't wait until after initiation, when that will be me having fun with all of my friends. And when Tobias and I can be a real couple and hold hands in public without having to worry about other people giving us strange looks. I can't wait for that.
But what if I fail Initiation? Then I will be factionless. I won't be able to be like the other Dauntless. I would have to say goodbye to Christina and Will. I would miss them like crazy. And the hardest part of all, I would have to leave Tobias. I mean, what does that matter? We got together today. If I left, he would just move on to another Dauntless girl. Girls throw themselves at him. He could have any one of them. I doubt he would miss me that much. But I would miss him.
I know that it's only been a couple of hours, but I feel something different around him. It's like I've known him since forever. That every lifetime I've ever lived has been lived with him. I've never felt like this about anyone else.
I'm snapped out my thoughts by Tobias's touch. His hand grabs mine. I squeeze his gently. I look up at him and see him smiling. I give him a half-hearted smile. His face drops.
"What's up?" He asks.
"Nothing. I'm just thinking." I reply. He raises his eyebrows disbelievingly at me.
"Really? What about?" He asks, smirking slightly. I gulp.
"What if I don't pass initiation? What if they find out about me and kill me?" I say.
"First off, you are going to pass. You ranked 6th in the first stage and 1st in the second stage. If you somehow don't pass, and become factionless, I would become factionless as well." Tobias says.
"Why would you become factionless? If I become factionless, then you would just move on to the next girl. I'm not important. You could get any girl you wanted to." I say, trying to hide the sadness in my voice.
"Tris, I don't want just any girl. They're nothing. All they have is their body." Tobias says.
"Exactly, they have a good body. I don't. I'm flat chested with no curves. I'm short and I'm ugly."
"Tris, I don't care about that stuff. I like the way you look. You're deadly smart. And that to me is, well, sexy." He says, blushing. I blush too.
"Well, I'm not very nice." I say.
"Well, Incase you haven't noticed, I'm not very nice either." Tobias says, smirking. He wraps his arm around my waist and pulls me in for a short, sweet kiss. I pull back, blushing.
"But what if they find out about me. They will kill me." I say quietly.
"That's why we are here. The fear landscape room. We are going to go through my fear landscape. I will teach you how to hide your divergence." Tobias says.

Christina's POV
I say goodbye to Will and head over to Four's apartment. I wonder how Tris is going. I haven't seen her much since the whole Peter incident. I mean, what a dick! I never liked Peter. I knew he was an ass, but I didn't know that he would do something like this. And Al. He was our friend for God's sake! I know he was upset and scared about failing initiation, but did he really have to do this! I hope Al becomes factionless, because if he stays in Dauntless, I would probably kill him.
"Christina!" I hear a voice shout. Al. I turn around and see Al, his face is red and blotchy. He must have been crying.
"What do you want." I reply coldly. I don't want to treat him like this, but I owe it to Tris. He's about as much of a dick as Peter!
"I want to see Tris." Al says.
"No. There is no way in hell that you're ever going to see her again." I say.
"Christina, please. I need to see her. I love her!" Al pleads.
"No. You don't love her." I say.
"I do love her, and she loves me!"
"Don't be ridiculous! After what you did to her? Are you really that bloody stupid!"
"She just doesn't realise it!"
"Face it, Al. Tris hates you." I say. I walk away from Al and approach Four's apartment.
I knock on the door but I don't hear a reply. I knock 3 more times, and still no reply.
"Four?" I call. I hear a grunt.
I wait for a few minutes and decide to try opening the door. I twist the door knob and the door opens. Easy. Why wasn't it locked? Somethings going on. I hear a giggle coming from the bedroom. Tris. What's going on? I go to the bedroom and open the door. Not locked. I look to the bed and see a sight I didn't expect to see. Four and Tris, laying on the bed, kissing. It wasn't heated, thankfully, but it's a sight that I wouldn't like to see again.
"What the fuck!" I exclaim. I put my hand over my mouth. I didn't mean to say that!
"Christina! Uh…Hi!" Tris says, blushing. Four stays silent, his cheeks are bright red, too.
"I think I need an explanation." I say, putting my hands on my hips.
"Well, uh…" Tris starts.
"We're together. If you have any problems with that, shove them up your ass." Four says, wrapping his arm around Tris protectively. Tris blushes an even deeper shade of red.
"Feisty, Four." I say, smirking. He rolls his eyes.
"Why are you here? And why didn't you knock?" Four asks.
"Well, I'm here to take Tris to dinner and then do some evening shopping. And I did knock." I say.
"Really? We didn't hear you." Four says.
"I imagine it's because you were so busy." I say. Four scowls. "I'm sorry to interrupt your love—making session." I say, rolling my eyes.
"We weren't doing anything!" Tris exclaims. Her cheeks are as red as an old fire engine.
"Right." I roll my eyes. "Let's go."
"Okay. Bye Four." Tris pecks Four on the lips and attempts to stand. "Four, let go!" She giggles. He sighs and helps Tris up. I grab Tris's arm and drag her out.
A/N - Hey Guys! I'm so sorry it took so long to update. I've been having some health issues. I've just been diagnosed with a pain syndrome they currently have no name for. It prevents me from doing a lot of things. SO updates may not be as frequent. I have to do homeschool because I can't write. I can only type. Luckily, this is something that I type. I will update when I can.
I am so thankful for all the lovely reviews you guys are leaving! I'm glad that you guys don't mind that the plot isn't exactly the same as the book. You guys make my day. So thank you!
Some people have been asking what DFTBA stands for. It stands for DOn't Forget To Be Awesome. So yeah. It's a nerd fighter thing :-P
