A/N; guess who's back, back again, courtneys back, tell a friend:)
I'm sorry this chapter isn't longer and I'm sorry I haven't updated sooner. If I'm completely honest there isn't a good reason for why I haven't updated, just nothing seems to fit anymore. I don't know if this is the end, I'm not sure if there's much more I can write. I don't want this to be the end but I don't want to keep you waiting on something that might not happen. I want to thank you for having patience with me and for reading this far. If I could I'd hug every single one of you:):):)
On with the chapter-
Luke-
Today was the last day of initiation. The last day of all this uncertainty. In just a few hours we were going to face our fear landscapes, in just a few hours we were going to know whether or not we were truly dauntless. I clambered out of bed and wiped the sleep out of my eyes. I was ready.
Tris-
The effects of last night were still raging in my body, a sharp pain would strike my head at any given second leaving me momentarily unstable. Tobias and I had stood and watched the initiates fight against their imaginary fears. Of course we weren't allowed in so we analysed their reactions and tried to guess what they were battling against. So far Sienna and Rosie were the quickest out whilst Kat and Robin were the longest. I felt my stomach churn every time I thought of Kat, could she be so selfish to do what Al had done two years ago? I hoped not. I shook the thought out of my head and looked at Tobias, he looked just as rough as I did. I laughed before patting his hand.
"Going to get us some coffee" I smiled then kissed him lightly. He laughed before muttering
"Do I look that bad?" I winked, leaving his question unanswered then left the room.
God I didn't half feel rough. The canteen was full of bodies, all tired in the summer heat. I grabbed two coffees and two muffins before making my way slowly to the room. Tobias' eyes lit up when he saw me, something that never failed to give me butterflies. Sitting down next to him I handed him his coffee and muffin and together we ate.
Zeke-
"Yoo shawwwty" I rolled my eyes at Uriah and turned back to my ipad.
"Listen brother, I've had an amazing idea"
"Which is?" I asked not lifting my gaze.
"Well, its a summer night, no more initiation, no more stress. I was thinking us lot could camp out the night, get a little camp fire on the go and just chill. Something we haven't done as a group in ages"
Uriah finished and I leaned back in my chair, being an instructor had been pretty stressful, it'd be nice to spend some quality time together again.
"Sure" I smiled and stood up "tell the others to get their shit and we'll leave just after the rankings, seeing as it was your idea Uri its only fair you get the beer" I winked before walking past him, I still needed to get Four back. Hrm, what to do what to do.
Tris-
Camping, this was going to be good. I pulled the bag over my shoulder before closing and locking the door. Tobias had already gone with Zeke and Uriah to set our camp spot up, they were going to be back shortly, just in time for the rankings. I headed down the corridor and turned into the hall, the tension was easy to feel in the atmosphere. I headed toward a bunch of my initiates and sat at their table, smiling weakly before continuing to fiddle and shift anxiously in their seats. The mutters died down as Max stood up and started waffling about Dauntless and their values. I tuned out until I saw the first name appear on the screen, attached with a picture.
1st rank- Rosie
2nd rank- Luke
3rd rank- Rhianna
4th rank- Bailey
5th rank-Sienna
6th rank-Gracie
7th rank-Kat
8th rank-Ash
9th rank-Ryan
10th rank- Candy
I glanced around and absorbed all the emotions. Kat and Rosie laughing and hugging, Rhianna and Luke kissing, Sienna hugging a now factionless Connor. I glanced at Candy, she still repulsed me. She flicked her long hair off her shoulder and fluttered her eyelashes, god knows how she managed to stay in, probably bribed a helpless man with her seductive ways. I remembered finding out I was ranked first, a searing pain shot through my stomach as I thought of how fast time was going. A warm pair of hands found there way around my waist and a pleasant sense of deja vu fluttered through me. I giggled and stood up, turning into his muscular arms.
"A Stiff, ranked first, who would've thought" he muttered to me, I smiled as I felt my cheeks glow, he remembered that day as well as I did.
"Shut up and kiss me" his eyes twinkled as he leant in, pressing his tender lips against mine.

The sky was turning slowly darker as we headed toward the small fire. Our little tents had been set up and the lads had got some logs for us to sit on. I took my place on a log as I opened a packet of marshmellows, sharing them among our small group. We sat for hours sharing stories and reminiscing on the times we had. I looked around at my friends and smiled. Here we all were, together. Laughing and joking, eating and drinking. After all we'd been through we'd all made it out alive. I rested my head on Tobias' shoulder, wearing the comfort each of my friends offered like a blanket and watched the last of the flames flicker to an end. There was nowhere on earth I'd rather be than here. Safe, happy and more alive than ever.
