Hey guys, it's great to know you liked the story. I can't believe we reached 207 followers, like, 207 people are reading this. Holy freaking shit.

44Eden444: Don't worry, this story isn't and never will be a lemon so Tris and Four aren't going to get it on. The fear will be faced, but in a different way than you think.

SelfDestructin54321: No, I am not dead. Thank you for your concern ;) I just don't have as much time as I need to write, what with school and exams. I'm glad you love the story and I hope you enjoy this.

IMPORTANT: My penname will be changed to Midnight Dreams by October 19th. Please take note of this if you are reading the story as a guest.

Happy reading!

*Tris POV*

Because it was my life, and nothing could stay perfect for long, the fear landscape lands us in Abnegation. I know exactly where we were and what was going to happen without even looking around; I would be in my bedroom, with faceless zombies trying to attack me.

"Tris?" Tobias says slowly as I stand there with my face buried in his shirt. "I don't mean to rush you, but we're sort of getting attacked by goddamn zombies here."

I laugh and pull away as the banging begins at my window and door. "What's your plan for this one?" Tobias asks, looking around with a slight uneasiness. I know why he's feeling uncomfortable.

All Abnegation bedrooms look the same and this must bring back memories of his own room, places where he must have endured the beatings Marcus inflicted upon him.

"Well, I used to find a gun to shoot the zombies," I sigh, "but it won't work anymore. And I'm not sure what this fear is of, really."

At that moment, the zombies burst in and swarm us. I exchange a look with Tobias and both of us nod. We won't go down without a fight.

We work together as an efficient team, but soon we are overwhelmed. My heart rate keeps increasing violently as adrenaline floods my system. If this continues, we're both going to die in this simulation. We can't defeat the zombies, so I have to calm down. I execute a perfect spinning kick to the knee of a nearby zombie, grab Tobias, and book it for the closet at the side of the room.

We barely make it in time. Tobias has just swung the door shut and locked it with the key when the banging starts. I know the locked door won't keep them out for long.

We look at each other and I notice how hard he's breathing as he clenches his fists tightly. I remember another time, in another closet, when I had comforted him during his fear of claustrophobia. This is my fear but it just as might as well be his.

I reach for him the same time that his hands stretch out. Clasping our fingers together, I focus on nothing but the feel of his hand in mine and keep my eyes trained on his deep blue eyes. He looks at me just as intently and that's how we calm down. The whole world fades away until it's just the two of sitting in the closet, the banging sounds not seeming so loud anymore.

The walls of the closet fade into nothing around us until finally, we're simply sitting on a white floor surrounded by nothing. The simulation has registered my normal heart rate and moved on.

Just as suddenly, my heart starts palpitating because I remember what the next fear is. Closing my eyes, I curse. Why did I ever agree to this?

All the reasons why I was so loathe to let him see this rush back to me under the blinding white light. I take a deep breath and mentally prepare myself for the humiliation that is sure to follow.

I open my eyes to find….

The fear landscape room.

Same grey walls. Empty room. No large four-poster bed.

My relief is instantaneous and crashes upon me like the waves of the ocean I had been trapped in a few minutes ago. I have overcome my fear of intimacy. My relief must have shown on my face because Tobias looks at me curiously. "Is the fear simulation over?" he asks.

I frown. There should be one more fear. The fear of me killing my family.

"No…" I trail off uncertainly. "There should be one more fear but maybe I got over it…"

He laughs. "And this is what you were afraid of me seeing? These are normal fears, Tris. I saw way worse than this when I ran the fear simulations."

I decided not to enlighten him to the fact that my fear of intimacy was what I was afraid of him seeing. After all, I've conquered it. But then…why do I feel so nervous?

Tobias rises to his feet and I follow him, frowning as I automatically brush off the dust on my jeans. Something is wrong. I can feel it.

Tobias wraps his arms around me and looks at me intently. "I love you, Tris. You know that don't you?"

"I-" I don't get to finish my sentence before he leans down and kisses me.

My arms go around his neck automatically but something is wrong. Tobias kisses me softly, sweetly but never as if he thinks I'm too weak to handle it. This kiss is rough and possessive and it's not like his kisses at all.

His hands go to the hem of my top and that's when I finally understand what's happening.

Oh no.


So I just left off with a cliffhanger….and I don't want to get killed….is that too much to ask?

I know it's really short but I really wanted to do the intimacy fear as a chapter by itself and not push it in with this one. Can we reach 200 reviews? I think we can. Let's reach 200!

I'm so happy you never gave up on me and this story and I couldn't ask for more devoted readers. You guys are truly awesome. Just as awesome as Four and Tris.

Till next time!
