When Tris wakes up, she is in Four's room. She finds that he had beat Drew up, saved her, then put Drew in the hospital (wow, he meant business. No one messes with Tris with him around <3) Her head was throbbing, ribs sore, and was going to have major bruising (ouch, that can't be fun) Four tells Tris that she needs to show some vulnerability around her friends to get their protection, and when she had the chance...ruin the people who attacked her (woah, he's getting a little intense here).
"It's more important for you to be safe than right, for the time being."
That night she stay in Four's room. In the morning she is incredibly stiff, sore, and bruised (sounds like they got her pretty good). When she walks into the dinning hall she keeps her head down and avoids eye contact (taking some of Four's advice and acting vulnerable). The others are absolutely appalled but what happened to her, especially that Al was involved ( well yeah, he was supposed to be her friend!). Drew was in even worse shape than Tris, he was practically all black and blue (now that sounds painful).
Later that day, Four shows them where the final stage of initiation will take place, the fear landscape (even the name sounds terrifying). They will have to face their fears.
Al finds them back in the dorm and tries to apologies, but Tris and the others won't go near him (I wouldn't either, after almost killing Tris).
"Never come near me again...if you do, I swear to God I will kill you."
That night, Tris is oaken up by Christina. "it's Al". As it turns out, Al jumped into the chasm, killing himself (I can't believe Al is dead). Dauntless funerals consist of everyone getting together, drinking, and saying that the person was brave. At this, Tris runs away.
Four finds her alone in a hallway. He warns her that she is being watched (that's not creepy at all) and tells her to be careful. He explains that when he threw the knives, he wasn't taunting her, he was reminding her to be brave and selfless.
"It's when you're acting selflessly that your at your bravest."
They stand in that hallway for a while hugging, Four with his lips against Tris' forehead <3
