I wake to the sound of pounding on the door. It pulls me from the dream, of the reality that was once my life. Though it wasn't a dream...it was a reality. My parents are still alive and it is before the Choosing Ceremony. The night before. We are eating dinner together and talking about our choices and I am reprimanded for speaking out of turn. I could not help myself, I was just curious about it...hungry for the answers, and in that moment truly believed that I belonged in Erudite. I had three options, and only one choice to make. It weighed on my all night long, I had barely gotten any sleep. But as I stood before the bowls, I didn't know which choice to make. Part of me already knew what would happen if I chose Dauntless, but part of my wanted to choose another path. If I had chosen another path, my parents wouldn't be gone. Or maybe they would. Any choice I would have made, Jeanine would have still taken over Dauntless and slaughtered hundreds of people. My heart jumps in my chest and I scramble out of the bed to find whatever clothing is near me and pull a shirt of over my head. Tobias is already out of the bed and he's walking toward the door.

He opens the door and I look up at who enters. It's Tori, followed by Uriah, Lynn and Marlene. I narrow my eyes and look at them. The shirt is long enough so that I don't need pants, but the sudden intrusion makes me realize that I should put them on. I head to the lockers and pull out a pair of my pants and pull them on before turning back to look at them.

"What is it?" I ask pulling my hair back into a ponytail. "What's wrong?"

Tori looks at me and she looks worried. So I know what it is. I swallow and lick my lips. I shake my head and rub my face.

"She's back isn't she?"

Tori nods and I sit down on the bed. We knew she was coming back, but we didn't know when. And I didn't realize how it would affect me knowing that she was around again. She was dangerous, and who knew what kind of hold she would have on the leadership of the city. In Erudite she was probably already brainwashing more and more people. Who knew what she could do next? Who knew what she was planning. I look up when Tori sits down next to me. The others grab chairs and circle us.

"We're going to be okay," she says. "We can handle her. We've done this before."

"But we're the only ones," I answer. "We're not much of an army."

She shakes her head. "We don't need an army. We just need a strong enough following."

"What do you mean?" I ask her.

"The last time she took control was with the trackers," Tori says. "She had every single one of us injected. We know better now. We can stop it from happening again."

"How can we do that without telling everyone else the truth?" Marlene ask. "Not everyone is as understanding as Tobias."

Tobias looks surprised that Marlene used his real name. I guess he's just used to people calling him Four. Especially in this life. He looks at me and I lift my shoulders, smiling at him. I look at Tori.

"What Marlene said," I tell her. "How do we do that?"

Tori smiles. "You leave that to me," she says. "I'm still part of leadership here at Dauntless. I can work something out with Max."

"Wait," Lynn says. "Max? Didn't I shoot that guy?"

We look at her. And then I remember. Max was shot in the chest. By Lynn. He died. Timeline wise, he shouldn't have been there that night we introduced the initiates. He gave the same speech that he gave my first night here. I look at Tori.

"What is Max doing here?" I ask.

"What is going on?" Tobias asks.

I shake my head. "We were coming back in the order that we died," I say. "But Max…he was here when I showed up. He shouldn't be here. I don't know why he's here. Or how."

He sits back in his chair. "Well, shit."

I stand up and take a breath. "I don't even know to do with this information. I don't even know what to do."

Tori stands with me and touches my arm. "We'll take of it," she tells me. "I don't want you to worry."

"I don't know how not to worry about this," I answer.

"Easy," Uriah says. "Go train your initiates."

"But what about—"

"Nope," Marlene says getting up and tugging on my arms. "Go to work. Worry about something else."

I bite my lower lip.

"I'm serious…" Tori says. "Go."

I nod. "Fine, fine," I say. "Let me get changed. And please…don't keep me out of the loop."

They nod and Uriah comes over to give me a hug and kisses my cheek. "It'll be fine," he says. "Well see you soon."

I smile and when they leave and turned to look at Tobias. He comes over to me and pulls me into a hug. He presses his lips to my head. "It's going to be okay," he says.

"I don't know what to do," I speak into his shoulder.

"Like they said," he says. "They're taking care of it. You don't need to worry."

"You know me though," I say. "I always worry about everything."

"Yeah I do," he grins.

I smile and press my lips to his. "I love you," I say.

"Love you, more."

I pull away from him and go to pull my training clothes on. After we're done we head downstairs.

"I think we should play capture the flag tonight," he says.

I look at him. "What are you talking about?"

"We need to get our minds off of the whole coming back to life thing," Tobias tells me. "I think that capture the flag will be fun for the initiates as well as fun for us."

I smile. "You know what, you're right."

"Besides, you mentioned something about the Ferris Wheel," he says. "Maybe we can relive some of your old memories."

I bite my lip. 'You'd climb the Ferris Wheel for me?"

"There's not a lot that I wouldn't do for you, Tris."

I stop walking and he stops with me. I stand on my toes and kiss him again. When I pull away from him he grins at me and we enter the Pit with a smile on my lips. The initiates are all standing together.

"Okay guys," I call out. "We've got pairs up on the screen."

"Everybody line up," Tobias shouts.
