TRIS POV:

"What's going on" I say with shaky breathes.

The doctor pulls of a wig and takes out two contacts. I gasp...

"Who are you?" I say. The fear has subsided and now I'm angry.

The man puts his finger under his chin and grabs at his skin. Eventually he grabs a tan layer of what looks like fake skin and he peels it away from his face.

"Zeke!" I say. I rap my arms around him in a bear hug.

"Nice to see you to" he says with a laugh

"Oh my god. You freaked me out" I say punching him in the stomach. He groans.

"6 bullet wounds and you can still punch. I'm impressed" he says smiling.

"Thanks. So what's the plan?"

"The... plan?"

"Oh god, please don't tell me you just waltzed in here with no idea of what you were going to do."

"I didn't waltz in here... I fox-trotted." He says with a cheeky grin.

I groan in frustration. "We'll figure it out later. I have loads to fill you in on but first were are the others"

"Others?"

"Yeah. Amar, Caleb, Cara, Christina, George, Peter, Shauna and Tobias. There names ring any bells"

"Well that's a tricky question" he look nervous as he runs his finger through his hair. I grit my teeth.

"What do you mean it's a tricky question"

"Most of the are safe"

"Most. Who is most." I'm talking through my teeth now.

"Everyone except... um"

"Except who!"

"Tobias!" He's face instantly looks pitiful.

My heart throbs in my chest. My breaths go haywire and my muscles seize up. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. What's happened to him?! I immediately think the worst. I gulp, my throat now dry and I try not cry. I have to be strong my eyes tear up and then I'm reminded of a childhood memory.

"Get up stiff" yells a dauntless boy who is 2 years older then me. I think his name is Eric.

A foot collides with my shin. It stings and I try and scramble away. My back hits one of the classroom's brick walls that separates the classroom from the playground. I'm trapped.

"Please. Please stop. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please" I plead with him. I begin to cry.

I can't see clearly anymore, everything is unfocused because my eyes are misted over with tears. After a few more kicks I here someone come up to him and it sounds like he socks him in jaw.

I don't know how long I'm sit there with my arms on my knees, barricading my face but eventually I feel someone sit down next to me. They place a hand on my shoulder to comfort me.

"It's okay. You don't need to cry" he says in soft voice.

"Are the- are they gone" I say between sniffs.

"Yeah they're gone" he says in a soft matter-of-fact tone.

I lift my head up from my arms and look at the boy. He is from abnegation. He has short brown hair and brown eyes. He looks younger then me. He extends out a hand.

"Hi, my name is Toby".

I wipe my tears. And reach out my hand to shake his.

"I'm Tris. What year are you in?"

"Nine" he replies

I'm surprised. Thats my year.

"Really but you look so young"

"Yeah, I got bumped up a year because of my massive brain" I giggle. He's pretty cute.

"I should probably go, my brother will be looking for me" we both stand up.

"Yeah same with my sister." He says.

"Thanks for waiting with me" I lean in to give him a hug but before I have a chance he leans in and presses his lips to mine. I step back and he looks at me awkwardly.

"Sorry" he mumbles.

I smile slightly "It okay. It's just I'd get in big trouble"

"Oh yeah the whole stiff thing" he says. Hoping to cover up the awkwardness with insults.

We walk separate ways home.

I'm consumed with tears. But I don't let them past my eyes.

"Th-that's okay. Well find him."
