A/N Sorry about the lack of updates!

Tris POV

And the familiar voice is gone.

I drift off, unconscious.

I wake to bright lights. My eyes flutter open, but then I realize the shimmering lights are to blazing for my liking. I shut my eyes as tightly as a drowning man clutching on to a branch for dear life. I hear a sudden movement and then a soothing calm voice:

'Tris, open your eyes'

I do as I am commanded. My eyes study my surroundings: Where am I? Around me Dauntless doctors swarm around patients like bees serving their queens, racing to aid the life of others. I start sitting up as I see a familiar man looking towards me. My heart races a bit faster than usual-like it always does when I see him.

'Tobias' I whisper as I am in a big room full of patients. However the curtain around my bed and Tobias' chair gives us privacy. I look to my left and laugh at the heart rate monitor beeping a lot faster because he is so close to me.

'Tris! Thank god your awake, I was so worried' He says taking my hand in his.

'How long was I asleep? Where am I? What on earth happened?' I ask Tobias, rubbing my head with my hand as I suddenly recall the events of this morning. His facial expression becomes serious and he looks straight into my eyes, brushing my hair away from my face.

'You were attacked. You are in the infirmary and you were asleep for 6 hours' I make a shock look on my face and Tobias continues 'I went to go apologize to you after what I did before, I saw Christina and she said you thought you saw me near the corridor. She obviously thought this was odd, so we both went to were you went off to. I heard a scream and I ran faster with Christina straight on my heals and I saw you unconscious and I sprinted faster than the speed of light carrying you in my arms to the infirmary and here we are.' He pauses 'I never saw your attacker'

I pause, taking and processing all the information Tobias just gave me.

'It was a girl.' I state without explaining.

'What?' Tobias asks confused.

'My attacker, she was a girl, she had long hair.'

'Do you remember anything else?'

I search my brain for anything that would be remotely worthwhile. Then her words hit me:

'She said…' I pause trembling. Tobias while sitting on my hospital bed picks my chin up with his finger so I have to look into his dreamy eyes.

'It's okay Tris, tell me what she said'

I gather my courage. 'She said: 'You saw what I did to Max, I can easily do that to you, don't get in the way'

A ton of expression hit Tobias' face as soon as my sentence leaves my trembling mouth and injured body. Shock, anger, hurt and a hell of a lot more. Tobias is speechless, his mouth dropping to the floor and staring wide-eyed at me. Before Tobias can say anything, my doctor comes in.

'Ah fantastic, Miss Prior you are awake' Sometimes I wish it was Mrs Eaton not Miss Prior- wait did I just say that?!

'Miss Prior' He says gently again, trying to grab my attention. He is a calm, gentle looking man with what I can see only a snake tattoo behind his right ear. I scan his face, he resembles someone who is too peaceful for a Dauntless, as well as he looks like he is in his middle 50's because I can see some grey in his hair; he holds a clipboard in front of him.

'How are her injuries?' Tobias asks, regaining his voice.

'Miss Prior has nothing we can't treat, her injuries aren't anything too serious, luckily you found her, Mr Four before her attacker could do anything worst. She has some damage to her head which will require 6 stitches'

'Thank you doctor' Tobias says calmly. 'How long will she have to stay in here?' He continues

'Until the end of today, after her stiches she will be able to go home, she will need to come back in 2 weeks though, for a check-up.' Relief surrounds me, there is nothing I want more than to snuggle up to Tobias and relax.

I slowly shut my eyes as I suddenly become tired.

'Be brave' he whispers

The last thing I see is Tobias' dreamy blue eyes.

XPAGEBREAKX

I reopen my eyes again and I am in a different room, I turn my head slightly and see a 'Fear God Alone' painting on the wall. I smile to myself, I am home.

'Tobias?' I barely whisper to a shadow in the bathroom. He turns the tap off and walks into the room.

'Tris' He whispers back and walks up to me kissing me on my cheek. 'How are you feeling?' He asks, pulling my hair out of my face, stroking my cheek gently.

'Fine, my head hurts a bit though' I place my hand on my head, noticing 6 stitches.

'The stitches went well, you are a strong woman as always' I smile and gesture for him to sit with me. He wraps his arms around my waist and we slowly drift off, falling asleep together.

Tobias POV

The next morning I lie awake in bed with Tris, her head leaning on my chest and a smile on her face, she seems so peaceful. While she was asleep I went to Christina to ask if she had seen who had hurt Tris. Even though she was extremely concerned, she didn't know anything about Tris' attacker. Disappointed, I walk back to my apartment and lie down next to Tris. It doesn't take long until she is awake.

'How are you feeling?' I ask Tris as soon as her beautiful striking grey/blue eyes flutter open.

'With you in my arms, I always feel amazing' I laugh, a deep laugh, she smiles and kisses me.

'Are you able to get up, we need to go down to the Pit to tell some leaders along with all the new members of Dauntless your sleeping accommodation'

'Yes I know' She pauses, thinking about something 'Isn't it usually Max that does that? Now that he is dead, who is going to take over?' I pause for a second; I think she is implying I should take over. 'Come on Tobias, you know how you can transform Dauntless if you were a leader'

'For now, all we have to worry about is your safety; we need to find out who killed Max. Dauntless is not safe if your attacker is roaming around us every single day, you never know we could be walking by your attacker every day and not realize it.' I answer not wanting to carry on in the subject of being a leader.

'By the way, you missed Max's Funeral when you were in the hospital. I'm surprise you didn't wake because of the noise!' She nods and I continue 'I'll get breakfast, you get ready and I'll meet you down in the Pit.'

'Okay' Is all Tris whispers, I walk out of the apartment to give Tris privacy.

TRIS POV

I'm greeted by a smiling Tobias. Honestly this boy never stops smiling in front of me. We stand with all the new Dauntless Members and some members and leaders in the Pit. Eric is at the front along with some of the other leaders; they are talking intensely, what about I'm not sure. Me being Divergent pop into my head, but I shake the feeling off. Hopefully they aren't talking about Divergent people. I can't be found out, not now. Life is too pleasant with Tobias now.

'If you keep smiling your face will go sore' I Whisper into Tobias' ear since Christina and Will is next to me.

'So? Why can't I smile to my amazing girlfriend?' I laugh, I don't think I'm amazing 'And don't deny it, to me you are amazing' He continues, I am suddenly reminded about what Christina said: he chose you.

'Thank you' is all I say. We are interrupted by Eric and several other Dauntless members banging their fists on whatever solids they could find.

'Listen up!' Eric shouts grimly 'New members you all need to go to Jack over there and sign up your living accommodation!' He pauses searching the room, his eyes land on me for a split second and I shiver. 'Tonight we will feast to celebrate Max's life.' He continues almost spitting out the words as if they were venom.

He finishes his sentence and a massive roar of cheering and banging erupt in the Pit along with massive chanting off: 'Max! Max! Max!' I tell Tobias I am going over on my own and Christina follows. We both get in line, her discussing about something girly, and the next thing we knew, we were next.

'Names?' Jack said, he is a good looking boy, not nearly as good looking as Tobias but he had dark brown eyes and brown hair and a sweet smile. He looks up from his table and form and starts staring at me which makes my extremely uncomfortable.

'Tris and Christina' Christina says pointing at both of us.

'Yes I remember that name, Tris' He says ignoring Christina, not removing his eye-contact from me. 'You were first in your ranking weren't you?'

'As a matter of a fact I was' I say irritated, I long to be back in Tobias' arms.

'Want to go out tonight? You doing anything?' He asks winking. I am horrified one because I have Tobias as a boyfriend that would beat the crap out of anyone but also because I don't understand that I am someone who someone else would like to go out with. Christina laughs which makes my nearly laugh.

'Yes I am going to be with my boyfriend, Four. Now if you don't mind I would like to say my sleeping accommodation' I spit the last part like venom.

'Your boyfriend is Four?' He asks worryingly and gulping at the same time. Frustration and anger is rising up in my body like vomit. I know ache for Tobias laugh and smile and arms around me. Christina who hasn't articulated any sort of words, regains her voice and says laughing:

'It doesn't matter if she is dating Four or not, if he even heard you ask Tris out, he would beat the crap out of you and you know that. Honestly boy, you should have waited until she said where she was living'

I turn towards Christina slowly, being the ex-Candor she is you could tell I was agitated. 'Thank you' I whisper to her. Frustrated, I turn my attention back to Jack and in a demanding voice I say 'Getting to the point, I am moving in with Four so you can put that on your form.' Emphasizing the that and pointing rudely at his form. I turn around forcefully and I quickly glimpse at him, noticing that he is staring wide eyed at me, I hear Christina tell him how she will be in her own apartment and we shuffle back to Tobias.

I stop dead in my tracks.

Already bothered, I look up to Tobias to find that he is with another very pretty girl. I scan the room quickly; almost no one is in the pit.

'Come on Four, you don't want that unattractive skank, you can have me.' This girl says moving closer to him, pressing her body onto his, he steps back.

'You're the one that is the unattractive skank, get away from me!' He shouts and steps away by a huge amount from the girl- causing people to stare at him. 'You're lucky I don't hit girls because you would have a massive bruise on your face right now.' He spits out the words.

I decide it is the perfect time to step in. 'I on the other hand, have no issues with hitting girls, get away from my boyfriend, you skank.' I step closer to her and punch her hard in the face, making blood drip down her nose. I'm absolutely positive her nose is broken. She falls to the ground horrified with a loud 'THUMP'. I take a look at my swollen and bruised knuckles, rubbing them over; I can't ignore the fact that it felt amazing punching her. I suddenly have a bolt of adrenalin. It's in these moments which I realize I am perfect for Dauntless.

With that, Christina, Tobias and I walk out of the pit and towards our apartments, before we turn the corner to go to the corridor to our apartments; Tobias holds my hands, his thumb circulating my hand, making me shiver. He leans down to me and whispers:

'That was amazing'

His mouth touches my ear, making me shiver and giggle at the same time. I love the effect he has on me.
