Chapter 25

"It's easy to be brave when they're not my fears."
                                                                           -Tris 


Woah. This chapter had a lot of things going on. I felt like it was never-ending! But that was okay, because I didn't really want it to end. At the beginning, Tris describes how she and Christina and Will got new tattoos. She says that she got the symbol of Abnegation, to remind her where she came from. I like this, because I like that she always wants to remember where her true home is, even if no one wants her to.

Then as they are walking back to the dorms, she says she doesn't want to go back yet, and that she is going to go see Four. As Christina and Will walk away, she watches them playfully jab at each other, both laughing and smiling. OMG ARE WILL AND CHRISTINA GOING TO DATE?!? That would be sooooooo cute!

Anyway- Tris walks up to the fear landscape room to find Four, standing at the door. He explains how he wants her to come in, because there are some things he wants to show her. He says to see if she can figure out his real name, and why they call him Four. Tris is very skeptical, and I would be too. But she knows that she is safe with Four.

At first, they are on top of a building, and we all already knew that heights was one of his greatest fears. So they have to jump off. Usually someone would call him a wimp for having height be a fear, but I agree. It isn't the height that scares him, it's losing control, and that can be very scary. Next, they are in a room, that seems to be getting smaller and smaller, just big enough to fit them. He's claustrophobic. This has got to be the worst for him, seeing as he's moaning and groaning. Tris tries to calm him down by talking to him, and it actually works a little bit. Go her!

Next, appears a table. A table with a gun on it. And in front if them, a woman. With very plain features, and Tris knows what he has to do right away. He has to shoot her. This one is not as bad for him, because he decides when it's over. And finally, the worst fear of them all. This is when she figures out Four's real name. Out of the dark, appears a man, that Tris knows very well. Marcus, the leader of Abnegation. She fits the puzzle pieces together, quite quickly, actually. Marcus had a son who joined Dauntless, named, Tobias. All of a sudden, Marcus brings out a belt and starts whipping Four! I mean Tobias! No, I'm definitely calling him Four.

Tris jumps in front of the belt, and after it hits her, she garbs it and whips it right back at Marcus, and then he disappears. And she fits the last puzzle pieces together. Four fears=Four. His name is Four because he only has four fears.
 "Four fears then, four fears now."
