Fail.

When Tris looked down into the Pit and saw all those hundreds of people she was responsible for milling around down there, she couldn't help but think of all the people she'd failed.

First she'd failed Abnegation, becoming one of the many to have abandoned their family and home for something else, something new, because they weren't happy with what they had.

Some days she's wake up with images of her father's eyes in her mind, she'd see them angry and accusing, the complete opposite of her mother's sad, accepting blue ones.

Then, after she'd arrived in Dauntless, she'd failed one of her friends.

She often wondered what would have happened if she had just forgiven Al after that stunt, if she'd tried harder to be nicer, more selfless.

Tris snorted, yeah right. If that had been her specialty, she would have stayed in Abnegation.

After that came a whole slue of people. Will and by extension, Christina. Her parents were both dead because she had messed up and Caleb was now, on official terms, a prisoner of war now that Erudite and Dauntless were at each other's throats…

Tris sighed heavily and pasted a smile on her face.

She knew Tobias would see through it, as would Christina and maybe Uriah and Tori, but other than them no one would figure out what she was feeling.

The rest of Dauntless wouldn't see behind her smile, they wouldn't see Beatrice Prior, the worried, uncertain girl who spent six out of seven nights a week training herself stupid because the nightmares woke her up in the middle of the night and the screams stopped her from falling asleep again.

They wouldn't see the girl who was still a little scared when her fiancé did anything more than a passionate kiss and was still shocked when she woke up and caught her reflection in the mirror in their bedroom.

No, they would only see Tris Six Fears, the strong, smart, friendly young woman who, despite her age, had complete confidence in whatever she did. The co-leader of Dauntless with her perfect fiancé, the handsome Four, who would lead them out of this disaster with Abnegation and Erudite.

Tris pulled herself up from her spot on the edge of the Pit and started heading toward the training room, Tobias said they were doing one on one matches today and she had wanted to go see how the newbies were doing.

Her smile got a little bigger, a little realer.

Plus she just wanted to be around him, he had this way of making her feel like no matter how bad things got, he'd always be there to make her feel better, to make everything better.

Her feet picked up speed without her notice. With Tobias by her side, Tris didn't think she could ever truly fail.
