I wake up beside Tris. She looks so peaceful when she's asleep, like all of the bad things that have happened to her have been erased. I tuck a piece of hair that's fallen infront of her face, behind her ear. Her beautiful blue-gray eys flutter open. She smiles up at me.

"Morning beautiful." I say.

"Morning handsome." She replies.

We get up out of the bed and realise where we are. I sigh. Tris goes and wakes Caleb. Then the door opens revealing Eric.

"Get up!" He orders. "Jeanine wants you!" Two guards appear to drag us away.

"Eric? Yesterday when I was put through the simulation, how come I couldn't remember going into the simulation room?" Tris asks. I didn't know she couldn't remember that. That must have made it so much worse, so real.

"Jeanine has been working on a new kind of simulation serum to make it more real, so that no even divergents can tell it's a simulation." Eric answers.

"Where are we going now?" I ask.

"Simulation room again, but this time you're going through it, Four." Eric smirks.

"I don't have to watch do I?" Tris asks, concerned.

"Yep! You do!" Eric says cheerfully. I feel like reaching for my gun and shooting him, here and now but I hid it under the matress back in our room. We arrive at the room and I'm forced to lay down on the cold, metal table. Jeanine comes over to me holding a syringe. She's wearing an evil smile. She sticks it in my neck and the edges of my vision begins to fade.

"Be brave." Tris whispers in my ear before she's pulled back by guards.

-------------------

I wake with a start. I'm in an Abnegation house. My old house. I look in the mirror. I havn't aged much since I was in Abnegation. Other than the slight 5'oclock shadow I'm growing now. But then I see myself change. My belly is getting rounder and my hair is getting grayer. I look exactly like Marcus. I find that I'm becoming angry. For no reason. Then I see Beatrice walk through the door without knocking.

"Why didn't you knock?!" I ask, frustrated and angry.

"I'm sorry, Tobias, I didn't know I needed to." She explains.

"My name's Marcus! Tobias is my pathetic excuse of a son!" I yell. I run at her and pin her to the wall. I make a fist and throw a punch at her face. Right on the nose. She screams out in pain. I broke it. Yay.

"Turn around!" I order. She reluctantly obeys. That stupid girl. I slide my belt out through the loops. I lift her shirt up from the back. I swing my arm back, then bring it foward. She screams again. I smile. Blood starts pouring out of her back. She's crying now.

"Oh shut up, you stupid girl!" I yell. She quickly gets up and runs out of the room. The door shuts.

I'm back on the metal table. I can't belive I did that to her. I hurt my beloved Tris. I feel so guilty. I know it was just a simulation, but it was awful. So real, I actually became Marcus. I curl up into a ball and bury my face in my knees so people won't see me cry. Oh yeah, there are people watching me. I wipe my tears away and look up to see Jeanine looking satisfied. I also see Tris running over to me. She presses her lips to mine. I don't care if anyone sees. I just need her to be close to me right now. To know that I didn't actually hurt her.

"Cut it out!" Eric yells.

"See you two tomorrow!" Jeanine says. Guards drag us away. When we arrive at our room, we see Caleb sitting on the bed waiting for us to get back. He's grinning like an idiot.

"I got them!! I got the keys! To unlock that door and the one holding Mum and Dad!" Caleb says excitedly.

"If Mum and Dad actually are alive." Tris points out. "We should wait until night to break out though." She turns to me. "What happened in there?"

"I turned into Marcus and I hurt you. But it was horrible because I thought like him and I felt angry at you, the way he was angry at me. I really did become him." She pulls me into a hug.

"I love you, never forget that." She whispers in my ear.

"I love you too, more than anything.'' We pull away and face Caleb

"You guys sould go to sleep, I'll wake you at midnight."

"I still don't trust you Caleb. I'll stay up." Tris says.

"You sure?" I ask.

"Yep." I walk over to the bed and slide under the covers. Tris follows me and rests her head on my shoulder. "Go to sleep." She orders. I obey and drift off into a dreamless sleep.

----------------

I awake to a pair of lips touching my own. I try to kiss back but she pulls away before I have the chance.

"Time to get up!" She yells.

"Five more minutes!" I say in my best five year old voice.

"Do we have to get up now?" Caleb asks.

"Oh, you're not coming with us." Tris says.

"Mum and Dad might be there! I deserve to know!" Caleb argues

"You don't deserve to live, Caleb, let alone come with me."

"You can't stop me from coming!" Caleb is so immature.

"I guess I can't." Tris says. I raise my eyebrows at her in confusion. She just winks. "Caleb, I saw a spider in the bathroom! Can you kill it please?!"

"Fine." Caleb walks into the bathroom and Tris goes up behind him and locks the door, trapping him in the bathroom. I laugh.

"Good job! You out-smarted the smart-ass!" She smiles, looking satisfied.

"Let's grab the keys and go!" Tris says as she runs over to Caleb's bed, reaches under the matress and grabs the keys he hid there. We take our weapons out. We unlock the door and creek it open. The two guards waiting by the door immediately spin around. But we're to fast. We shoot them both in the chest before they can click the bullets into their chamber. Other than the guards, the hallway is empty. We walk to the stairs and begin spiraling upward. When we reach the door for level 9, I slowly open it. It's not very loud. Good. We walk down the hall until we find room 9M.

"I'm so nervous." Tris says.

"Don't be. I won't let anything happen to you. She smiles half-heartedly at me and places her hand on the door knob.

"Ready?" I ask. She nods and opens the door.

I can't belive what I see.
