Fearless Leaders

Second stage of training

A/N I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who is reading this story. This is my first divergent story and I wasn't sure how great this would turn out. So I'd like to tthank you all. You are so amazing! I love all my faithful readers!

"Marcus," Tobias says with venom in his mouth.

"Hello son."

Tris pov

"So, you two are getting married?" He asks raising an eyebrow, his arms crossed.

"Yes." Tobias says this in his Four voice. He shows no emotion.

"Hmm, I expect an invitation."

"No. You will not be allowed near the wedding. You will not ruin one of the happiest days of my life." Tobias says. This makes me proud of how strong he is. He's showing his strong side.

"That's disappointing."He says with a glare.

"What's disappointing is the fact that you were a terrible father and a great lier."

"Tobias-"

"Don't call me by that name. Only one person is aloud to call me by my real name, you do not have that privilege. Goodbye Marcus."

With that we get into the car and drive away. I place my hand on his lap and say,"don't worry about him. He can f**k off. He's not gonna ruin that day. He can't ruin our happiness."

"I love you, Tris."

"I love you too, Tobias."

His hand covers mine on his lap. He has a look on his face that lets me know that he is still preoccupied with what Marcus said. I move it slowly up his lap and grip him through his pants. "Don't think about him,"I say,"think about me."

He lets out a low growl and says,"I can't wait to take you home."

I can feel a rush of wetness to my core. I bite my lip. This is going to be a long ride.

Later, Tobias and I have initiate training. Today we start part two. The initiates line up outside the room where we have the fearlandscapes. They will be going through mine right now. Tomorrow they go through their own.

"Today all of you will be going through my fear landscape. I only have six fears, you will go through two. Most of you will have more. 15 is probably the average number. The idea is to get through them as fast as you can. You do that by conquering it by calming yourself."

"Six, six fears? So I'm guessing you have Four, Four?"

He gives a simple nod.

"Okay, Ajax, you're first."

He follows us to the room. Tobias sets up the computer with my fear landscape.

"Remember, try to calm yourself and you'll get through it faster,"I tell him. He nods and takes a seat on the chair. Tobias injects the serum into his neck and we watch as he relaxes into the fearscape.

We go over to the monitor and watch as he starts in my first fear. He tries to run from the birds, but they peck at him and he screams. It's hard watching him for so long try to fight the birds. He spends a total of half an hour on two fears.

We go in alphabetical order next is Alta and we end with Zane.

Some of them are hard to watch and I know that tomorrow will be even harder because it will be their fears, not mine. After we get through everyone, Tobias stops me before we go back put to talk to everyone.

"Hey, are you okay?"he asks, looking worried.

"Yeah,"I say a little to cheerful.

"Tris."

"Okay, it's a bit hard to watch this."I admit.

"I know. It's a tough job," He says,"but I'll be here with you. If you ever can't do it, I'm here to help you. I'll never make you do something you don't want to."

"I know. And I want to do this." I say to him.

He kisses my hand then my lips before he opens the door.

"Tomorrow you guys will go through the fearlandscapes again. But it will be your own fears, not mine. This will be harder than anything you've done before." I tell them. I watch as their faces change into fear.

"Be here 7 o'clock sharp!" Tobias says before releasing them from training.

At dinner we decide to tell all our friends that we are getting married. Christina already knows and I'm sure she's told Will. Lauren, Shauna, Marlene, Lynn, Uriah, Zeke, Will, and Christina all meet us at the table like usual.

After eating, Tobias says,"we have something to tell you guys."

They all stop talking and look at us curiously. Christina has a huge smile on her face, awaiting our announcement.

"We're getting married,"he says and I hold out my hand to show them my ring.

"Oh my god!" Marlene says happily,"that's amazing!"

Uriah and Zeke hug us both and Lauren, Shauna, and Lynn congratulate us. I watch as Tobias gets a proud look on his face. He kisses my lips and wraps me in his arms. I smile up at him as I look into his beautiful eyes.

When we get home, he takes me to bed where we make love all night long. I know we are going to be tired tomorrow morning, but I don't care. He constantly kisses me everywhere and caresses me through the night.

I look into his beautiful eyes and run my fingers through his hair. He smiles at me and says,"I can't wait until I can call you my wife, Tris. My beautiful, beautiful, wife. We have such a bright future ahead. Just you and I, and whatever else we decide to add to our family."

I lean in and kiss him again. I curl up against him and say,"I'm ready for what lies ahead."

Tris pov

Today is the day when we have the initiates go through their fear landscapes. Tobias sets up the machine as Will gives the initiates some speech about what's going on today.

"Are you ready?"Tobias asks me.

"Yes."

He walks over and hugs me, giving me a sweet kiss before he lets me go and opens the door, calling the first person who is Zane.

"Okay, remember the fastest way to get through this is to calm yourself down."I say.

"Okay,"he says and nods.

Tobias injects him with the serum and watches as he falls into the fearscape.

He is in a room full of worms. They're everywhere. He tries to run through them, but he's also screaming as he does so.

"Worms?"I say.

Tobias nods.

Then he goes into a room that looks like plastic. He instantly starts to hyperventalate. Slowly the plastic moves in, closing off the area one by one.

"Suffocation." Tobias says.

After that fear it's fire. He is surrounded by it, it's similar to mine only he's not tied up. It just surrounds him. In all he has 14 fears.

Next is Wen, hers starts with snakes. Then it turns to heights, then after 16 other fears it ends with her family dead.

Rye is the next one. He only has 13 fears. It starts with darkness, then it ends with killing innocents and his family.

Ross is next and his is quite impressive. He has only 8 fears, and he has a divergent way of doing things. He's definitely one of us. His greatest fear is something happening to Nikki, Zane, or his dad.

Rosemarie is afraid of getting smashed.

Then Nikki is up.

She has a different attitude than the others. She is excited to learn about her fears.

Her first fear is bugs. She screams and tries to smash them all. Then she does something weird. She drops to the floor and let's them crawl all over her until it changes to her next fear; spiders.

Her last fear is seeing Ross die.

She only has 8 fears.

The way she goes through the fearlandscapes shows that she too is also divergent.

Mist has a fears of public speaking, failure, and falling. She has 17 fears.

Liam and Ethan have the fears of death and being turned against each other. Jax is afraid of not being good enough, James is afraid of water. Emma is afraid of hurting her friends. Elisa was afraid of dogs.

Dylan is afraid of giant men, and Daniel is afraid of killing someone in rage. Cole is afraid of his step dad, and Char is afraid of her brother's friend. Claire is afraid of small spaces. Avery is afraid of losing her is afraid of being stabbed to death and Alta is afraid of wild animals.

And finally Ajax is afraid of being kicked out of dauntless.

We walk out and tell them that ratings will be changed, then we release them. But on the way out, we stop Ross and Nikki.

"Come with us."

If they're afraid, they hide it well.

We take them back to the room and have them sit down.

"What was the results of your test?"I ask.

"Dauntless." Nikki says.

"What else." Tobias says.

"...Erudite."

"You're divergent."

"Yes, am I in trouble?"

"Divergence isn't a bad thing and you shouldn't be afraid, but you shouldn't tell people, there might still be Jeannine followers."

"Ross?"

"Dauntless and abnegation."

"We knew we were different before, that's what brought us together." Nikki says.

"Don't tell anyone, it could still be a threat. Now go home, and relax. You guys have a day off and then it's the final test."

"Okay. Thank you,"Ross says.

As we walk back to the pit, I am pulled away from Tobias by Christina.

"We need to go shopping, now!"she says.

"Chris!" I whine.

"Nope, if I'm planning this wedding for you, that means that you need to comply with this."

"Fine. What are we shopping for?"

"Your dress."

She takes me to this store that is filled with very nice black wedding dresses. For hours she makes me try on many dresses until I find a nice dress. It's a mermaid styled dress that has a sweetheart neckline.

She pairs it with some heels and black jewels.

"Wow, you look so beautiful."

"Thank you. I like this one."

She makes the order for it and then pulls me into the lingerie store. I roll my eyes, knowing her so well. Only she gets me a strapless bra and simple underwear for the day of.

"The rest is a surprise,"she says with a wink.

After hours and hours of her dragging me around places to pick out flowers and to pick out decorations. It's very exhausting. When I come home, Tobias is asleep on the couch. I walk over to it and shake him lightly.

He just snores.

"Wake up,"I say and shake him harder.

He wakes with a snort and jumps up nearly hitting me with his head. I lean in and kiss his head. He reaches up and tangles his hand in my hair.

"I had a bad dream. They took you from me."He says and hold onto me.

"I'm not going to leave you. Ever. I love you so much." I say that to reassure him and then kiss him deeply before helping him up and saying,"let's go to bed."

He follows me into our room where he kisses me again and again until I kiss him back with a lot of passion. His arms go behind me and pull me to him. He kisses my lips and says,"I love you, Tris."

"I love you too."

A/N so I'm going to post a chapter with all of the initiates and their background. They're my notes on them, so please ignore any grammar issues or the (done) because that was me checking off the list.
