Thx to every who has read my story! I've now reached 100 reads!! Don't 4get to leave comments.
But anyway, back to the story!
Plz note that this is more of a filler chapter but I will update another one soon.
Tris' POV
I feel like I have lost all sense of reality...
There is no way that Tobias just asked me to be his girlfriend! Tobias doesn't have girlfriends. He has hookups and one night stands, not full time relationships. But while I'm wary around the fact that he may dump me after a week, I'm also excited to see where it will go. Though at the moment I have bigger fish to fry...

The streets have been thrown into chaos after the new villain 'The Hawk' has just surfaced and robbed the Swarovski store in the city square. Chaos is coming and Four and I both know it. That is why we have agreed to meet up at one of his safe houses to discuss a truce until the hawk has been dealt with.

I've prepared myself with weapons and back up waiting outside just in case it turns into a trap. But I'm still extremely cautious as I enter the same building that I last fought Four in. As I enter I see Four sitting at a table facing me, with an empty chair opposite him. As he sees me he smirks.
"Six. Come sit." He says with precision. I sit down in the chair and we stare at each other for a good thirty seconds, giving me time to relive our last confrontation. I hadn't thought about Four for a while now. Tobias has given me a sense of fulfilment that had temporarily distracted me from my vendetta... temporarily.
"So. Are you willing to agree to a truce until the hawk is found and killed?" He asks getting straight to the point.
I pretend to think for a minute before responding, "on one condition...".
"Name it." He says, again with precision and efficiency.
"Well as you know, me and my gang are quite... limited. So I want a guarantee that if we get into any trouble with the hawk, then you will... intervene." I say struggling to find the right word.
He smirks before responding, "You want me to be your knight in shiny armour?"
My eyes narrow, but he seems to have understood how seriously I am taking this, compared to our previous confrontations.
"Then my answer is sure. If you get into any sort of trouble then I will send my men to help out." He answers putting on a slightly friendly smile.
"Thank you." I say with a tight smile in return before getting up and hastily making my way to the door.
"Oh and Six." He says before I make it to the door. I turn to him and we look each other in the eye.
"Be careful..." he says in a tone that sounds as if he might actually be sincere. I continue to the door and head straight home.

Four's POV
I feel conflicted...
No, I feel guilty...
I've just asked Tris to be my girlfriend yet I still feel attracted to this girl I barely know.
What is wrong with me?!
But it's like a second nature, admiring her beauty. Every time I see her, all the reminders I give myself, that she is the enemy and she only seeks to hurt me, disappear into thin air. I feel like I'm cheating on my girlfriend... who I've only had for 3 hours!!
But as I said, I'm conflicted! Whenever each of them walk into the room, I forget about the other. But while all signs point to Tris, I can't help but feel attracted to Six. I feel like Six embodies all the evil temptations in my life. Yet, I also feel like the answer to all my problems is right in front of me, but I can't reach far enough to grasp it...
