I start running through the darkness looking for a way out. The only problem is there is no way out. I know this is a simulation. It has to be. It doesn't feel the same as a nightmare. Since nothing has happened... not yet anyway. "Tris," says a voice from behind and I stop. It's Tobias. Get a grip this is a simulation, I think to myself. They must be targeting the people I care about.

I don't turn around I have to keep moving. "Why did you leave me Tris," Tobias asks his voice closer now. His words sting my chest. I want to tell him it wasn't by choice. "I'm sorry Tobias I never meant to," I say into the darkness. Then he appears. He looks the same way he did when I met him. Tears are streaming my cheeks and I wish they wouldn't.

His eyes are full of sorrow and a little anger. He takes a step closer. "Why did you leave me Tris?" Tobias asks and when I try to speak something stops me. As though something took my ability to speak. I try again. No sound comes out. I need to get out of here. I open my mouth to try and speak, but he cuts me off.

"I don't want excuses I want an answer! Why did you leave me Tris? Why did you go!?" This time I force the words out. "I never wanted to leave you!" He disappears into the darkness and I'm alone.

"Tris wake up it's over," says a calm voice. I open my eyes to see a bright light above me. My first thought is where am I? A moment later I realize I'm in dentist like chair. Once my eyes adjust to the light I see Matthew.

He hands me a glass of water. At first I don't take it, but my throat feels incredibly dry. Was I screaming in the simulation? After a moment I take the glass from Matthew. I take small sips. For a few minutes we are silent. This seems to be our normalcy. We never talk to each other. At least not casually. Only when something is wrong. Or I really need help.

Over the past few years I still have not been able to trust Matthew. I feel like I can especially after all he has done for me. Yet I can't trust him. "Can I go back to my prison cell," I ask and he does a small chuckle. It wasn't supposed to be funny. Well looking back on it, my cell is just a room.

"Sure Tris you've done enough for one day." Matthew replied with a light smile. "Besides it's getting pretty late." I don't respond. I follow him down the hallways. You would think after all the time I spend here going back and forth I would have memorized them.

I haven't. Every hallway looks the same. Like I said a long time ago I would get lost. I have thought about making a run for it. Since no one bothers to gaurd me anymore. Lately I have not put up much of a fight against them. It makes me feel incredibly guilty because I should be fighting. I should be fighting for Tobias, Christina even Caleb and the rest of my friends. So why don't I fight back?

It's the same question I've been asking myself for ages. Why have I stopped fighting? I don't have the answer to that question. Matthew opens the door to my room and I step in. "Oh Tris," Matthew starts, "Take this to the bathroom and read it." He gives me a piece of paper and I take it.

Then without another word he leaves me alone. I decide to hide it from the cameras. They don't need to be suspicious at least not yet. In the bathroom there are no cameras. Thank God. The piece of paper is a crumbled ball. Gently I pull it apart to see a message.

"Tris I know you do not trust me. And that is okay. I wouldn't trust myself either. Anyway I have a plan to get you home. To get you back to your friends. I know this has come late, but I needed to make sure the plan was full proof. I don't want anyone to find out or get a hint about this. Tomorrow I plan to break you out of here. When tomorrow will have to remain a mystery. This way when it happens you will at least look a little surprised. For now wait and you will see your friends again."

I stare unblinkingly at the message. Was this true? Was Matthew really trying to help me? Or was it a trap? I do not trust him, but if there is a chance to see my friends again. I'm going to take it.

Tobias

Tonight was pretty fun. Zeke tried to pull off a stunt with Shauna but thanks to Marlene they didn't go through with it. Marlene is different from when I knew her at the dauntless compound. We all thought she was dead. I mean she jumped off a building because of a simulation. However it wasn't real. She was a divergent all along and faked her death. We have asked why she did all of that, but she would never tell us the whole story. Normally we don't push her because when we ask she gets extremely upset. Not angry but sad.

After her first outburst on us about it we never asked again. I will ask her one day. Maybe there's a possibility Tris did the same thing. I hope so. "Hey Four wait a minute," Christina says. "What's up Chris," I ask and she smiled. It was a dorky smile. "Well remember Matthew," Chris starts and I nod. "Okay he contacted me this morning, he wants to meet us by the border at 10 pm."

I look at my watch and it's 9:30. "Any reason," I ask. I never liked Matthew. Why would he want to see Christina and I? I am angry with him. Well without a lot of people at the Bureau. Especially David. He was the reason I quit my first job. He wasn't my boss he was just there and I hated the man. So I quit. The thought of him makes me angry.

I look back at Chris and she bites her lip then says, " He said he wanted to talk to us... about Tris." As soon as the words leave her lips I'm off. Chris was right behind then she stopped me. "Four calm down it may not be what you-" "I know but at least it's something," I say before she can finish. Whatever Matthew has to tell us about Tris. It must be important. A large part of me hopes she is alive. I force that part down.

I know that if I go to him with wanting to hear she's alive... If I am wrong, I'm afraid my heart won't be able to take it, "come Chris we have someone to see." I say and we walk outside. Chris has a car and I'm not sure what kind of car it is. Maybe a BMW, but to me all cars are the same. They use gas and take you places. Some are fast and others are not. That's all there is to it. I get in on the passenger side since I don't have a license.

Evelyn says I should get one. I don't mind walking to work and other places. After all I don't have the dauntless compound to keep me in shape. I need something or else I'll get fat. Especially when I live near a bakery. They have dauntless cake. It's amazing I bet Tris would like it. I smile at the time when she was an initiate. The scores were just put up and she made it. Or on visiting day when I met her mother. The memories continue to come and I let them.

Although it hurts it nice to know she is still alive in my mind at least. Christina stops after a few minutes by the sign that says "Border of Bureau District." Then we see we are not alone. A man is by the sign. I recpgnize him. It's Matthew. He approaches us as we get out of the car. "Glad you made it," he says casually and I glare. "What do you want," I snap and Chris elbows me. I pay no mind to it and watch Matthew.

He nods, "Well this is about Tris... Listen carefully I need you two to be back here at no later than 4 am." "Why," Christina asks confused. I know she wants to say something sarcastically but doesn't. "Because Tris alive," Matthew says and my heart stops. She's alive she's alive. "Where is she," I ask and he doesn't answer.

"Listen to me I'm trying to break her our of Nita's hold, I would take you two to help me get her out. I cannot it. It would be too suspicious anyway. Beside the point be back at four and bring weapons." "We can't just wait now we know our friend is alive," Christina snaps and I see fresh tears stream her cheeks. "Take us with you, after two dauntless might serve you well," I say.

He shakes his head, "If you want to help her you will be here no later than four." I love how it's my name. Did Tris do that on purpose? Was she in on this operation? Did she request Christina and I? I hope so. Tris is alive and so close.

"I must go and get Tris ready, for now bring weapons and one or two others of you wish. Also you might want to bring medicine just incase." That last part worries me, but I nod. Christina and I leave to get what Matthew said. We decide to bring Zeke along. He will be resourceful and he has guns. Now we wait. I stare at the clock and whisper, "If only time would go a little faster so I can see you again. Don't you worry Tris I'm coming for you."

Hey readers hope you enjoyed chapter two! I should post the next chapter within the next two days.
