If I had met you in grey

Chapter 58

Tris POV
I wake up with nerves filling me up to the very top. I dress quickly and quietly and wait for more people to start to get up. Tobias stirs and eventually his closed eyes open. He mumbles a good morning and normally I would laugh at him but this morning I'm too out of it. He gets up and showers and comes back fully dressed in black. Christina's up talking with Will and Marlene. I want to go over but I know I won't contribute much to the conversation. I get up and start walking to the dinning hall to get breakfast. "Tris wait!" Tobias says running up to me. He slides his hand into mine and his warmth is nice, it's comforting.

"You okay?" He asks as we turn a corner. "I dont know. Nervous I guess." I tell him and he nods. We get our food and sit at the usual table. Zeke joins us followed by Shauna, uriah, will, and chris. Zeke and tobias laugh together and it's nice to see him like this. Everyone's in a good mood except me, I'm the quiet one hiding her fear for today. "So you ready for today?? Wonder what our fear are!" Chris says. I gulp thinking about it and tobias notices. "I wonder what your fears were!" He says and she slouches back. I think tobias intimidates chris. "Oh I know!" Will says laughing. "Shut up!" Chri yells. They all go on laughing and segueing the rest of breakfast and soon we all get up to head to the small waiting room.

"Thank you for this morning." I whisper to tobias. "It was nothing. Just wanted to get them off your back." He says and kisses me. He pulls back and turns his head to talk with uriah who's on the other side of him. I can still feel the lingering touch on my lips and it's calming. It must've been too calming because someone calls my name and everyone's looking at me. I blush and stand up. Tobias squeezes my hand before I enter the room. "I'm Amar." The man introduces himself. I nod and take a seat. "I'm going to inject you with a serum that processes fear, the transmitters in the serum allow me to see inside your mind and see your fears on the screen." He says. "You can see.. Inside my mind?" I ask. He nods. "Isn't that a little intrusive?" I ask. "We're dauntless. We don't really care." He says and I can tell that the words that came out of his mouth he does not fully believe in.

He positions the needle and plunges it into my neck. "Be brave tris." He says and soon my eyes shut.
