The Future Queen and King of Dauntless

Chapter 39

Tris POV

Once I calm myself down I rub my puffy red tear soaked eyes. I hate for Tobias to see me so weak, but he doesn't seem to mind. He takes me at my high points and my low as I do for him, we are each other's other half.

"Do you want to do anything today?"

"Could we ride into town and get some of that chocolate cake, I don't know about you but that wedding cake was vastly disappointing."

Tobias starts to laugh, I guess he agrees with me about the cake.

"Sure, do you want Eric to join us?"

"No, I would love to just spend some time with you, if you don't mind."

"I could never mind Tris. Come on let's get changed."

Tobias helps me up from the wall, my body stiff from sitting for so long. We walk back to our room, change and head to the stables.

The chocolate cake is just as good as I remember. Tobias and I just sit there eating it, I think we ended up eating three pieces each. It brightens my mood up a bit, but reality still is bringing me down. I think Tobias notices. He sighs, takes my hand in his interlacing our fingers and drags me somewhere. I finally realize where he is taking me, I smile.

The waterfall is just as beautiful as the first time he took me there. I sit at the edge of the water Tobias next to me.

"Thank you for bringing me back here."

"It's no problem, I used to come here all the time when I just needed to escape. Now I can come here with you when I just want you to myself." He smiles at me, I feel myself blush. Will I ever get past that?

"You're so cute when you blush, but you don't need to feel embarrassed by my words."

I don't want to ruin this perfect moment but I just can't seem to help myself.

"What are we going to do Tobias?"

"We are going to live our lives, we are going to go to other kingdoms for more torturous weddings, and then we are going to have our amazingly perfect wedding. We will become the king and queen and rule over Dauntless the best we can, we will start a family and one day hand the kingdom over to our son or daughter and we will be happy and in love for the rest of our days."

I can't help but smile.

"I love you Tobias."

"I love you too Tris. Come on let's get back before dark."

I wake up determined not to let yesterday's information bother me so much. I don't want Tobias to think that I can't handle things like the dauntless can.

Tobias POV

I am awoken by the world's softest lips pressing against my own. I smile into them as I slowly open my eyes. I see her eyes are closed, I feel her nose skimming my own, I raise my hand to the back of her head wrapping my fingers through her hair and bring her in closer to me. I run my tongue across her bottom lip and slip it into her mouth when she parts hers, she is warm and sweet and perfect. I am unsure how long we stay like this but at some point one of us pulls away for air.

"I changed my mind," I say breathless. She looks at me wide eyed, concerned. "This is my favorite way to wake up." I smile and she giggles putting her hands over her face in embarrassment. I kiss each of her hands before pulling them away from her face.

Tris POV

After deciding to get out of bed I asked if we could go train some. I have a lot of pent up frustration and I figure some target practice would be helpful. I never would have fathomed in a million years that I would be doing this sort of thing as a stress reliever, my mother would knit. I hate knitting. Luckily, Tobias agreed. I guess he needed to vent as well. We change and it just feels right, so much better than the dresses I am supposed to wear, I wonder if I can get away with dressing in training gear when I stay on the grounds. I know Eric wears it all the time unless he is in the public eye or important ceremonies. I'll have to ask Tobias after the wedding. We walk down to the training grounds. I head straight for the knives while Tobias goes for the punching bag.

I picture Peter standing in place of the target, his dark cold eyes looking me up and down making me feel dirty. I take a knife from my left hand to my right, I allow my finger to slide up the dull side of the blade feeling the cold metal makes my finger tingle and my blood rush through me. I pull back and throw the knife. If it were Peter it would be in his eye, I hate the way he stares at me like I am food for him to enjoy. I take my second knife aim and release. The sharp blade sticks into the target, I watch as the handle sways slightly from the impact before steadying itself. I look at it sticking there where a person's heart would reside. I could never do that to an actual person maybe that is why the image of Peter fleeted from my mind before I throw the knife. I don't like Peter, but I could never kill him. I am not cruel, heartless or power hungry like him, like Marcus. I could never flaunt the idea of being that way either. I wonder if it was between me and someone else could I throw that knife, what if it was to save a friend, a family member, Tobias, our child. I would like to think I could. I don't feel like throwing my last knife.

Tobias POV

I watch Tris as she throws her first knife, it hits the targets would be eye. A small smirk on her lips. I turn back to the punching bag and hit it a few more times, before I look up again, I instinctively turn to look at Tris she looks deep in thought staring straight at the target a knife in the target at what would be a person heart. She looks like she is fighting an internal drops her last knife. I look down at my hands and see parts of my flesh torn away, the knuckles beginning to bruise. I too must have been lost in thought.

We both have our demons, as does everyone else. We have secrets neither of us want to share, it is a small wedge between us. I have to talk to her make sure she is alright, if she can be through all of this than so can I. She is my strength without her I doubt I could claw out of where I was, she has awaken me, and she has given me a new resolve to thrive.

A/N So this is the last chapter I have written so far. I wont be doing mass uploads like this anymore, this was to just get the story on this site from my fanfiction one. Hopefully by doing this the person who stole my work will be unable to continue. I also want to apologizes for my harsh words on a comment I made to the book theft. I was just very angry that people are still doing this type of thing. It has happened to me before in both Artwork and now words. It is really sad. But anyway, I hope that you guys enjoyed what i have so far and will continue to enjoy. Writing really makes me happy and knowing people like it brings a smile on my face.
