All the initiates and are sitting in a long, rectangular room. No windows, no colour, just steel benches on the walls and a door at either end. Through one door, the rest of the Dauntless compound. Through the other, a dentists' looking chair, strange objects and an experience that has left even the strongest shaking and too afraid to walk around the corner without checking first.

Tris comes out of the room, looking shaken but overall okay. She's the fastest yet, I'd say she was in there a total of five minutes, everyone else had been in there for at least ten.

"Addi, you're up," I hear Four say and walk back into the room, this time, I follow him in. I'm not scared... Well, maybe a little, but I won't let that stop me.

"Okay Addi, after you are wired up and injected, you will be in the same sort of dream world you were in the test. Except this time, you will be put through your worst fears, and the objective is to get out as fast as you can, alright?" Four asks whilst preparing the syringe and serum. I just nod, although I don't feel alright at all, I feel terrified.

I ease back in the chair and Four puts little sticky pads with wires attached to them on my forehead. I'm still trying to think about what fears I will get faced with as Four starts to inject the serum into me. My last thought before I am pulled under is not a very comforting one, because I have a feeling what my fear could be, and I don't like it, not at all.

My first thought is "what the hell is this" when I wake up back in my house in Amity. This doesn't seem so bad, but I know it's going to get worse. I'm proven correct when the front door bangs open and a team of Dauntless soldiers bursts in, pointing a gun directly at my face. In the middle of them is my little sister, her tears stained with tears and her wrists bound tightly behind her back.

"Sissy! Help me, please!" she yells, and is answered with a blow to the side from one of the soldiers. I let out a scream as she does, I know what this fear is, the fear of my family being hurt. I notice something just behind my sister, two bodies, my parents. I gasp and see that one of the soldiers is smiling, a sick, twisted, cruel smile that makes my stomach lurch. I make a lunge for the soldier but I am quickly grabbed by someone else. I look up and see the familiar face of Eric standing above me, holding me back, a gun pointed at my sister. This fear, this fear is the one of being betrayed by someone you love. Love? I just said I loved Eric. This is not the time! But that does bring me back to my senses, because I realise something. Eric wouldn't do this, he wouldn't hurt me like this. He's never said it, nor have I, but I know he loves me and I love him, he's mine and I'm his. I know from when we just stand and talk for hours, to when he holds me in his sleep, from when he reveals things about himself he has never told anyone, and I do the same, I know we're in love.

So I turn around and punch this, fake, imposter Eric in the face, then grab his gun off him. I shoot at the guards, hitting them all first time and watch them crumple to the floor. I run up to my sister, but the moment I wrap my arms around her everything fades away, and I'm back in the Dauntless compound.

"3.07 Addi, that's amazing, well done!" I hear Four say just before everything goes black as I pass out.
