"Mum?" I ask, shocked.

"Beatrice!" She runs up and hugs me.

"Oh my god." I say as I look around to see everybody. "I can't belive you're all here!"

Mum.

Dad.

Uriah.

Marlene.

Lynn.

Will.

Tori.

Zeke's here too.

Everyone looks hungry and cold. They obviously weren't treated very well here. My Dad comes up and hugs me. A tear runs down my cheek. I quickly wipe it away.

"As much as I would love to stay here, I think we should get going. We can all catch up in a minute." Tobias says. "Zeke? Can you lead everyone out? Tris and I have to go kill someone."

"Of course dude! I'm just glad to have my bro back!" He throws an arm around Uriah. I nod and walk out with Tobias. We know just where we're going. We are going to kill Jeanine once and for all. We go back to the stairs and keep going upward. Until we reach level 13. We walk along the hall and turn a corner then notice there are guards by her door. Since they haven't seen us yet, we take them out easily. We walk past them and notice the door is locked. Crap. I take out a bobby pin and stick it into the lock in the door. I wiggle it around until the door unlocks.

"Why didn't we do that two days ago?" Tobias ask.

"I just got the bobby pin then, off my mum." I reply. We creep inside and notice Jeanine in a king sized bed with... Eric.

"Eww!" I whisper. Tobias nods. "At least we can take them both out now."

Tobias points his gun at Eric's head and I point mine at Jeanine's.

"Wait a sec." Tobias says. "Hey Eric! Jeanine! Wakey! Wakey!"

Jeanine and Eric open their eyes.

"You never had the right to torture us!" Tobias says.

"You didn't do it for knowledge or power! You did it because you're cruel! You're cruel, cold, evil people!" I start to yell.

"And you deserve this!" Tobias finishes.

Bang.

We did it! We killed Jeanine and Eric! This is over. The danger, the torture, the crulety, is over. We don't have to live our lives in fear anymore. At least, fear of Jeanine. Or fear of Eric. It's over. I run up and hug Tobias. He pulls away to kiss me. I kiss back.

"Let's get out of here!" Tobias says. He takes my hand and we start running. We run down the stairs, out the doors, onto the street, where we find everyone else waiting. I smile.

"We did it! We killed them! Jeanine and Eric are gone! Forever!" I say. Everyone cheers. We have a group hug. Will comes up to me.

"Um... Tris? Is Christina... still alive?" He asks.

"Yes, Will, she's fine. She missed you so much by the way." He smiles.

"Lets go!" I say. We all need to go back to the bureau to get Christina and Shauna. We all start walking to the train. I realise I'm still holding Tobias's hand.

"So are you two, like, still a thing?" Will asks. "I didn't think that would last long."

"Well it did." I say. I notice my father's eyes drift down to our hands.

"Um... Beatrice? Are you two married or something? You're holding hands." He says. I laugh.

"In dauntless they didn't have rules like that. Look." I say as I realise Tobias's hand and use my finger to tap my cheek. Just as his lips are about to reach my cheek, I quickly twist my head so they land on my lips. When I pull away my father looks shocked, but my mother looks like she's just seen the cutest puppy in the world.
