Four and I cuddled for up the rest of the night, falling asleep, holding each other in our arms. When I wake Four's arm is wrapped around my waste, my back pressing into his stomach and chest. Slowly I inch myself out of his grasp. I check the time, it's 5:30 a.m. I decide to go for a walk before Four gets up.

I am walking around the chasm, which other than the roaring water at the bottom is quiet. It's kinda calming actually. Out of nowhere I hear a thud to my left and turn. There's nothing there. Must've just been in my head I think. I take a few steps forward and suddenly a hand clasps around my mouth. I scream but it is muffled by the hand over my face and the rushing water of the chasm. I kick my arms and legs, try and throw in a punch but fail.

Suddenly I am blindfolded and darkness engulfs my vision. Even though I'm unable to see I jerk my body to try and get out of the grasp of whoever is attacking me. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my neck. My legs start to weaken and I fall to the ground unconscious.

Tobias POV

I wake up, the other side of my bed empty. I check the time, it's 6:30 a.m. I look to see if there is a note that Tris may have left explaining where she might have gone but I come up empty handed. She must've just gone to see Christina or get breakfast I think. I decide to shower and get dressed then head out to find her.

I walk into the cafeteria and find Will and Christina eating breakfast.

"Hey, have you guys seen Tris?" I ask as I approach them.

"No I thought she stayed at your place last night." Will relies.

"She did but I woke up and she was gone, didn't even leave a note." I say.

"That's kinda unlike her." Christina adds

"Oh relax, I'm sure she just went on a walk or went shopping or something." Will reassures me.

"You thinks he went shopping at 7 in the morning?." Christina says looking at Will, her eyebrows raised.

"Oh you know what I mean." He teases back, "Look Four, I'm sure she's fine. We'll let you know if we see her and tell her you've been looking for her."

"Thanks." I say. She's fine, I reassure myself, relax.

Tris POV

I slowly open my eyes and adjust them to the dark room I'm in. I look at my hands which are strapped to a chair along with my legs. My eyes scan the room and that's when I see him, Peter, who has a huge smirk on his face.

"Morning sunshine." Peter remarks sarcastically," how'd you sleep?" He adds.

"What the hell are you doing Peter?!" I spit out, "Why'd you bring me here??"

"Bo need to get so defensive JEEZ. I'll be the one asking the questions here Tris." He says.

"Peter release me or so help me I-"

"Or you'll what? Go get your big scary boyfriend Four to break you out?" Peter says cutting me off.
"He gonna help you out like how he did with your fear simulations?" He adds

"What are you talking about??" I demand

"I mean how else could you have such good test results. You went from rock bottom to the top literally overnight. Then we find out you two lovebirds were dating not too long after." He says, "It's either that or you have some kind of trick."

"This is why you brought me here?! All because I got first and your jealous?!"  I exclaim, "Was trying to kill me in initiation not enough for you?"
