Tris POV:
I lie on Tobias' bed, trying to take a nap. Earlier I explained that I had been kidnapped and put in some super secure room. I was only fed once or twice a day. They didn't want anything from me I don't think, just kept me there.

There was about 6 guards and two people who took "care" of me. From what I could tell they were all guys. They were working for someone, but I never met him. I was scared, but not for my safety. For some reason I knew they wouldn't hurt me.

Tobias walks in, carrying a tray with a plate, and I know it's time to tell him more. He said he'd let me rest before I explained everything.

"Here's some soup, I wasn't sure if you were up to eating anything else- I mean I know your hungry, but you could be sick too, since you've-" his voice trails off, and I realize this is just as hard for him, having his 'dead' girlfriend-or whatever I am-back. I don't feel very well, maybe I should go to the doctors, like he said. I was locked in a room with barely any food and almost no cleaning myself for 3 years.

"Thanks, so here's what happened, for what I know." I say. "I must've been shot with a serum, I don't know when, but before the whole thing happened. I think I was in a simulation where I thought I broke in and died. But that's what you said really happened, so someone must've faked my death-somehow-because I woke up perfectly fine somewhere I've never seen. What I want to know is who, or what, faked my death?" I say. He stares-he must be processing it all-since I had 3 years to but he's only had about an hour or two.

"So, if someone faked your death, how could they look so much like you, your only sibling is Caleb. I don't think makeup could get that good of details, maybe." He says. Did my mom have more kids than I thought? Or maybe I have cousins? "I'm not sure. And why would they risk their life so I could be kidnapped for 3 years?" I'm really confused now, I never thought about it this much.
