TOBIAS POV:

I'm going to be a dad! I'm so excited. But what if, I become him.

I smile at Tris. I lay her down on the bed knowing that she is asleep in my arms. Tomorrow we are going to the doctors to see how far along she is. It must not be that far because even if I focus enough, I can't see the bump.

I crawl to the other side of the bed trying not to wake her up.  She moves around and I stop everything I'm doing. When she stops again I lay down. I lean close to her and whisper, "I love you Tris." I think she's asleep but I hear her mumble something, but it is inaudible.

I close my eyes and when I open again I'm in a room.

"Tris?" I walk around the room calling her name. "Tris!" She is tied up to a chair. I walk around.

"Stay away from me! You monster!" She yells towards me. I look around but no one else is here. She panics more and more as I walk closer. I look into a mirror and...
I am my father.

"Tris! It's okay. I try to go and help her. But she panics even more. That's when I look over and there is a belt in my hand. I raise it up tying to force my arm down again. I swing my arm and-

I wake up with a gasp. A nightmare. "That's all it was." I say in between breaths, "just a nightmare."

I feel Tris grab my hand. "Are you okay? Was it a bad dream?"

I nod my head and she squeezes my hand again. "When I get bad dreams you always have me talk it out, do you want to talk about it?" I slowly nod my head again. I tell her about the dream.

"It's okay Tobias, you will never become him, I promise!" She says reassuring me. I nod again and smile. I'm so lucky to have her. I don't deserve her! I lean and kiss her forehead, and still holding her hand, I fall asleep.

When I wake up, I let go of Tris' hand but she is still holding onto mine. I look at her face and smile. She's so peaceful. Beautiful.

She lets go of one of my hands. I brush a strand of hair out of the way. I guess I wasn't careful enough because I hear Tris giggle and her eyes flutter open.

"Good morning!" I say laughing at her. She frowns. "Shh! Maybe we can pretend it's not there!" She says while closing her eyes again.

I grab her shoulders and lift her up. "We get to see how far along you are!" She groans.

"That means I have to get ready! And try to look nice!" Tris says with a groan. I put her hand on her belly. "Everything will be okay! Okay?" I say to her quietly.

"Okay. I'll take a shower and get some clothes on." She mumbles while walking to the bathroom. I smile. Today we find out how far along she is. You can barely see a bump.

It feels like yesterday was when I confessed my love for her. I hear a shower start running so I go and get dressed. I do my hair real fast and go to the Dauntless compound to get food. It's only a few blocks away. When I step out of the house, the door takes longer than usual to close. I don't think much of it.

I get a few muffins and two glasses of milk. Then I walk home. When I get inside I expect to see Tris getting dressed or her being worried but she is still in the shower. I guess I didn't take that long.

I put the cake in the microwave so it stays warm. I walk to the bathroom door a knock. "Trissy? Are you okay?" I ask. I wait a minute. Then I slightly open the door, "Tris?"

I start to freak out. The water is on but she isn't there. Where is she? I look around, occasionally yelling out, "Tris?!"

I go into the kitchen to look for her. There's a note on the table. I run up to it and it says,

Four-
I have her. If you come alone she will be killed. I know your secrets.
-Her nightmare

Oh no. I pick up the piece of paper and run out the door. I run towards the Dauntless compound, Zeke and Shauna may know something. Christina and Uriah also live there.

I get to the compound and start towards Zeke's house. I pound on the door, out of breath. A few seconds later Shauna opens the door.

"What's wrong? Where's Tris?" Shauna asks fast. I shove the note into her hand.
"Someone stole Tris!" I say between breaths. I'm in the verge of crying. Shauna hugs me.

"Do you have any clue where she'd be or who took her?" Zeke joins the conversation. I shake my head. I press my hands against my face.

"I'll get Christina and Uriah to help!" Shauna says pushing past me to run and find them. All I can do is cry into my hands.

"Four... it's okay. We will find her!" Zeke starts, "and we will kill whoever did this to her!"

I laugh. I can always count on him to make me happier. When I first joined Dauntless, I expected that I wouldn't find friends or, the love of my life. But now she's gone. And I have no clue where she is.

Uriah, Christina, and Shauna come sprinting in. "I have an idea!" Uriah shouts. I look up st him and he frowns.

"Zeke, Four! Don't you work in the Control Room?" He says almost yelling. Zeke stands up and starts sprinting. I follow him. How did I forget about that?

"Four! Find the camera closest to your house!" Zeke yells. I nod and start typing. The Dauntless- Well Bureau- has cameras throughout the city that we can locate.

"Rewind it to the last time you and Tris were together." He says calmly as I am frantically rewinding the camera.

I find where I walked out of the room to get us food. Awe man I never ate the muffin and cake! Hey! Snap out of it Tobias!

A few seconds later a man opens the door. He looks towards the camera and it is-

Hehe cliffhanger. Who do you think it will be? This was a hard chapter to write because one, it's sad, two, writers block, and three, I'm in a lot of pain. Please vote and keep reading!
