Just to let you know, this chapter will have a lot of different points of view. Read on!

Artemis Fowl II

I glance over at Holly. She quickly turns her head, but I know that she was staring at me. I can see the worry in her eyes every time they meet mine. She keeps trying to get me to open up, but I won't. Not about this. 

I look up at the young man who is preparing to speak to us.

"Welcome to day one of your private training," he says. "My name is Four, and I'll be your instructor today."

Four. Death. I don't know who this man is, but he is not to be trusted. He keeps glancing over at the girl from District 3, but she turns her head away every time.

The man continues. "When you are in the arena, you will encounter some of your greatest fears. In a life or death situation, fear is your worst enemy."

I wonder what all this is leading up to. I don't have any fears, so this whole lecture seems rather pointless.

"This," says our instructor, holding up a full syringe, "is the fear landscape serum. When injected in you, it creates a simulation in which you will face your worst fears. Some people will have many, and some people will only have a few. One at a time, you will enter the room and I will inject the serum into your body. The gamemakers will be observing your fear landscape as you work your way through it....."

He keeps talking, but I block out his voice. So that's what this is about. The gamemakers want to exploit our weaknesses. I'll show them. I'll prove that some people don't have weaknesses. I am the most intelligent person in this room, that I can tell. The first name is called, but I can only think about what will be in my fear landscape, if there is anything at all.

Annabeth Chase

I'm sweating like crazy as Four straps me into the chair. He injects the serum into my neck, then everything goes black.

(In the fear landscape)

I'm alone in a room, tied down to a chair. I hear a scuttling noise and realize that I'm not alone. Then the spiders come. At first they come one by one, then a few at a time, then all at once. They materialize, seemingly from nowhere, and move towards me. I scream when they start crawling up my legs. 

They start to bite me, and I experience more pain then I've ever felt before. Every bite feels like I was bitten by a viper with razor sharp teeth, not a tiny spider. They continue to come, climbing towards my face, still biting. The pain is so agonizing, I can barely breathe. They're suffocating me, and there's nothing I can do to stop them.

Then I think of Percy. His sea green eyes, his messy black hair, the way his lips feel when he presses them against mine. I need to get back to Percy. Getting home starts with winning the games, and winning the games starts with getting out of this simulation.

It's a simulation. As soon as I start to realize that, the spiders begin to disappear. Soon it's just me, and the scene changes.

Alec Lightwood

"I'm gay," I hear myself saying, "and I'm in love with Magnus Bane. Do you have a problem with that?" My parents' mouths are pressed into thin lines. Isabelle makes a face. Jace looks on, his face a mixture of anger and disappointment.

My mother slaps me. "What in the angel's name is wrong with you? After all we've done for you..... I thought we'd raised you better than that." She walks away without another word.

"Dad...?" I say, not really expecting his reaction to be any better.

"No homosexual is a son of mine," he sneers. Then he follows my mother.

"Iz....?" I say, desperately.

"I can't believe I thought I knew you! You lied to us for years! You're a disgrace to our family and to the clave!" She walks out.

I don't know how much more of this I can take. I look Jace in the eye, pleading for him to understand, but he also leaves.

I'm an outcast. Where will I go? Magnus' place, obviously. I unlock the door and am about to call out for Magnus when I hear moaning coming from the bedroom. Thinking Magnus might be hurt, I rush to get to him. I don't find what I expected.

He's in bed with someone else. A girl.

"Magnus...."

He glances up at me, then shrugs and turns his attention back to the girl.

"Magnus!" I yell. The girl looks up, startled. Magnus rolls his eyes.

"Do you need something, Alexander?"

Rage boils up inside me. "YES I NEED SOMETHING! I NEED TO KNOW WHY I JUST WALKED IN ON YOU SHAGGING SOME GIRL IN OUR BED AND WHY YOU DON'T SEEM TO CARE!"

Magnus rolls out of bed and casually pulls on a pair of pants. "Isn't it obvious, Alexander? I don't care. I never did. After all, who would love a gay shadowhunter?" His words sting like salt in a wound.

Without saying anything else, I run. I run until it seems like I can't go another inch, then I run some more. I don't have anywhere to go. I might as well just die here. I pull a dagger out of my jacket and plunge it into my heart without a second thought.

Hermione Granger

I'm sitting in my room reading Hogwarts, a History when Draco Malfoy walks in. I look up in suprise, then my eyes widen when I see who it is. 

"What the bloody hell are you doing in my room? How the hell did you even get up here? The stairs are charmed!"

Malfoy grins. "That's for me to know, and you to find out."

"You'd better get out of here or I'm calling Professor McGonagall."

He rolls his eyes. "Whatever. I just came to deliver an invitation."

"What is it?" 

Draco grins slyly. "You. Me. Astronomy tower. Fifteen minutes."

I attempt to reject him, but instead find myself nodding. I give him a shy smile and wave at him as he walks out. 

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT????? I scream at myself. But I go over to my dresser and pull out an outfit Ginny gave me for Christmas.

The sparkly gold tank top isn't really my style. It's much more revealing then anything I would normally wear, but I pull it on anyway. The red jean shorts only cover about five inches of my thigh. Still wondering why I even agreed to go, I head for the astronomy tower.

I run all the way there, not wanting to be late. When I reach the top of the stairs Draco is waiting. He smiles at me. Not his usual arrogant I'm king of the world smile, but an actual genuine smile.

He grabs my arm, pulling me towards him, and I don't resist. In a matter of seconds I'm staring into his beautiful grey eyes, my face only centimeters away from his. 

Draco pulls me into a kiss, and I don't break away. I kiss him back. Kissing him feels so right. I want more. He pulls away for a moment, breathing hard. 

"Don't stop," I whisper.

He smiles and kisses me again, more passionately this time. "Anything you want," he whispers in my ear. I sigh and grab his shirt, pulling it over his head. I run my hand over his bare chest, admiring his abs. I don't want anything. I want everything.

Artemis Fowl II

I stare at Holly's unconcious body. She's not dead, yet. Judging from the pool of blood she's laying in, she doesn't have long. Why isn't her magic healing her?

She coughs up blood as she regains conciousness. "Arty-" she stammers, "P- Please- Help-"

I try to run to her, but I'm frozen in place. I can only stand here and watch her die. She coughs again, then she is still.

"Holly!" I hear myself scream, "No!" I close my eyes, but the image is seared into my brain. It's not real, I tell myself, It's a simulation. But with each fear, that is becoming harder to believe.

Tris Prior

When I wake up I start to say something to Tobias, but he shakes his head slightly. He presses a folded piece of paper into my hand and then dismisses me.

As soon as I get back to my room, I unfold the note and read it.

VI-                                                                                                                                                                                       Meet me on the roof at nine o'clock tonight                                                                                                            -IV

I smile. Tonight. 

9:00

I push open the door to the roof. A lone figure stands there, looking over the edge.

"Tobias," I say quietly.

He turns and smiles sadly at me. "Hey."

"What are you doing here?"

He sighs. "As soon as the train left the district, they came to the Dauntless compound asking for volunteers to help with fear landscapes. I volunteered, because I-" His voice cracks. "I had to see you." He doesn't finish his statement, but I know what he's saying. I had to see you one last time.

"You don't think I can win?"

Tobias shakes his head. "It's more complicated than that, Tris."

"How?"

"If it was against a few people, it would be different. But the odds.... There will be twenty three other people in that arena. All of them will be trying to kill you. Do you think you have a chance?"

I frown. "Someone is going to win, Tobias. Why can't it be me?"

He shrugs. "Who knows? Maybe it will be."

"I'm scared," I confess.

Tobias wraps his strong arms around me. "Of course you're scared. Anyone in their right mind would be. Just don't let it get to your head. When you're in there, don't trust anyone. Especially not Peter. Find a water source and a weapon. I believe in you, Tris. I believe that you can win."

"But what if I don't?"

Tobias leans down to kiss me. "Then I'll be proud of you for doing your best. I'll remember you for the rest of my life. You won't really ever be gone, though. You'll always be in my heart."

I feel a tear fall from my eye, and I rest my head on Tobias' shoulder. "I love you," I whisper.

He smiles down at me. "I love you more," he says.

Sorry for the longer than normal chapter, but my heart needed fourtris. Did I satisfy your thirst for Dramione? Whadidya think of the fear landscapes? Let me know in the comments and please vote!
