“My first instinct is to push you until you break, just to see how hard I have to press.” he says, his fingers squeezing at the word break. My body tenses at the edge in his voice, so I am coiled as tight as a spring, and I forget to breathe.
His dark eyes lifting to mine, he adds, “But I resist it.”
“Why…” I swallow hard. “Why is that your first instinct?”
“Fear doesn’t shut you down; it wakes you up. I’ve seen it. It’s fascinating.” He releases me but doesn’t pull away, his hand grazing my jaw, my neck. “Sometimes I just want to see it again. Want to see you awake.”
“Looks like someone had a mood swing.” She rolls her eyes. “Like you don’t want to know what his fears are.”

“My heart beats so hard it hurts, and I can’t scream and I can’t breathe, but I also feel everything, every vein and every fiber, every bone and every nerve, all awake and buzzing in my body as if CHARGED with electricity. I am pure adrenaline.”
~Tris, Divergent
Those who blamed aggression formed Amity.
Those who blamed ignorance became the Erudite.
Those who blamed duplicity created Candor.
Those who blamed selfishness made Abnegation.
And those who blamed cowardice were the Dauntless.I am Divergent. And I can’t be controlled.
