Chapter 1

Chapter 6

Breakfast was over and we all walked to the pit. There stood Four with a large board behind him. Our ranks. I don’t feel to excited though. Eric hugged me with one arm in a reassuring way. I let out a breath I forgot I was holding in. “You have 1 more week to bring your rankings up. It will be hard, but not impossible. I suggest if you are one of the bottom tens you get your shit together real quick.” Four explained. “This week we are going to be working on mental preparations. How you would react when confronted with your fears. Today though, You all will have one last fight and practice shooting again before lunch. After lunch we are going to show you what to expect.” Eric said in a loud menacing voice. Everyone just nodded. Four then moved away from the board. My heart almost jumped out of my chest. 1: Kai 2: Tris 3: Peter I sighed with relief. Eric pulled me even closer. “Do you think you can fight today?” He whispered concerned. “Probably. Either way I’m still going to fight. I am not going to risk my spot. Even if I do hurt myself more you said this is our last fight so I have nothing to worry about.” I explained. He thought about it for a minute then nodded, “Alright.” He said. “I’ll see you later. I have to be your instructor now.” He said. I nodded and walked away. I stood in the crowd as the first fight started.                Izzy and Maddie. I smiled to myself knowing that there is no way Maddie will be able to win against Izzy. Their fight didn’t last long. It was fast and simple. The walked in circles for a while, then Maddie threw the first punch. Izzy dodged it and body slammed Maddie into the ground. Maddie groaned loudly, and before she was able to get up and continue fighting, Izzy punched her in the side of the head making Maddie pass out. Most of the fights ended quickly and were boring. Then, it was my turn. I was against Peter. Great. I walked up to the ring the same time as Peter. We got into our stances. “Let’s not have a repeat of last night.” He said. “No this time it will be one on one. You won’t have your little friends to protect you this time.” I smiled. “You won’t have your boyfriend to save you this time.” He said. “I don’t need him to protect me. I was able to beat your ass before and I am able to do now.” I said and threw the first punch. He dodged it. He threw the second and aimed for my face. I ducked and punched him in the abdomen. He doubled over. I swung my fist and it collided with the side of his head. He fell to the ground. I fell to my knees next to him and continued punching him. Over and over and over. He was moaning and pleading for me to stop. “Kai. Kai that’s enough.” I heard Four yell. “No.” I yelled and punched him again. I felt arms wrap around my waist pulling me away. “Kai. Stop.” Four said pulling me away. Tears started running down my face. “No.” I muttered. Eric walked up and I pushed Four away. Eric grabbed me from Four. “No.” I stood there next to Eric. Four walked everyone to the shooting range leaving Eric and I alone in the pit. “I don’t regret what I just did. I do, however, regret how I’ve been handling everything.” I muttered into his chest. “Shhh. It’s alright. You’ll be ok.” He said trying to calm me down. “It won’t be ok and neither will I, but I can pretend to be ok. I will pretend to be ok until the day that I am ok.” I said. “We should go.” Eric nodded quietly and we walked to the shooting range. I picked up the gun and pointed it to the target. I managed to fire all of the bullets and made each one hit the center of the target. Eric stared at me. He knew I could shoot well, but he seemed concerned. I reloaded the gun and continued at it. I moved to another set of targets. They were farther away and shaped like people. I continued to shoot. Over and over again. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around to see Eric. Everyone else was gone.    “Kai. It’s time to go. Please.” He said concerned. I nodded and set the gun down. We walked together to the cafeteria for lunch. Where I didn’t even eat anything. I sat there with my fork pushing the food around. Eric sighed. I barely even looked up. “Kai. What’s wrong?” He asked. “Nothing.” I mumbled. That wasn’t really a lie either. The truth was I didn’t know what was wrong. I’ve been thinking about Daniel lately. Wondering if he knew. Did they visit him too. They weren’t my actual parents, but I don’t know what to consider them. I mean they didn’t even act like parents to me. Eric nodded, “Alright.” He mumbled. “I don’t know what’s wrong. It’s just everything happened so fast. I’m still processing what happened. I’ll be fine Eric I promise.” I whispered. He nodded again, “Just talk to me if you need to.” He explained. I nodded. We sat there until it was time to leave. We walked to another part of the compound. “This is where you will find out and live through each and every one of your fears. You will learn to work through them. You won’t know that you’re in a simulation, yet.” Four explained. “You will be given the fear serum. Each person will have a different time. Your rank will depend on your time and how long it takes to figure a way out. Your fear will change once your heart slows back down to normal.” Eric explained in his loud deep voice. Everyone simply nodded. Eric and Four walked into two separate rooms. They were there for about 5 minutes, then started calling out names. They continued calling other people for a while. I was at the end like usual. Four stepped out the same time as Eric. “Kai Waters” Four announced. I stood up. I saw Eric glance our way, then call someone else. I walked into the room with Four. It was set up the same way as the aptitude test. I walked in and sat down. “This one is a little different than the aptitude test. It involves each and every one of your fears. I also hope that needles aren’t one of your fears.” He said and before I could ask him what he meant he pulled out a long needle. I sighed, “I guess I’m not.” I muttered. He cleaned off my neck and pushed the needle in. He removed the needle, “You have 30 seconds before it takes action.” He explained. I nodded. He set the needle down and typed away at the computer. Then, everything started to disappear. I looked around and saw that I was stranded in the middle of the ocean. No land in sight. My heart was racing. I was about to start swimming when I saw a dark shadow move underneath me. I held my breath. Whatever this thing was it was huge. Then, not to far from me a huge whale jumped out of the water. No. Okay. I need to slow my heart rate down. I took a deep breath. I tried to slow my breathing. Nothing was working. I tried to swim, but there was no where to go. There was only one way to slow my heart down at this point. I decided to stop swimming. I started to sink. Down further and further. I wasn’t able to see the water surface anymore. My lungs started to burn. My chest felt as if it has been set on fire. My whole body ached. Then, everything disappeared. Wherever I was now was dark. Dark and dry. It was soft too, but confined. I felt around me. There was a wall on both sides of me and in front of me. Great. Buried alive. I started breathing rapidly. What do I do? I tried scratching at the sides. All that did was hurt my fingers. I pushed against the top. It creaked a little. I managed to turn so I was lying on my stomach. I pressed my back to the top and pushed as hard as I could. It crackled more and finally gave way. It wasn’t buried deep. I was able to stick my hand straight through the little bit of dirt that rested on top. I managed to dig myself out. I pulled myself out and fell onto the grass next to it. I stared at the sky until my heart calmed down to a more normalized pace. Then, I was standing in a dark room. In front of me stood Daniel, and in my hand sat a small hand gun. I looked at the gun and back up at Daniel. I shook my head no. “It’s ok, Kai” He said with a small smile. “No. I won’t do it.” I said shaking my head. “Kai, you have no choice.” He said, “and remember none of this is real. You don’t even have to look.” “Daniel. I won’t do it.” I said. “Yes you will. Kai, I believe in you. You’ll be fine. This isn’t real.” He said again. “It still feels real.” I mumbled. “Yes. Kai, in life things will feel real, but that doesn’t mean it is.” He said. I nodded. I undid the safety of the gun and clicked a bullet into place. I pointed it at Daniel. My finger resting on the trigger. Then, I turned the gun and shot myself. That was the end of my third fear. Then, I stood on top of a large building. The wind starting to pick up. I walked over to the side of the building and looked down. I had to be at least 20 stories high. There was an old fire escape on the other side. It was old and barely hanging there. It was the best chance I had. I looked up to see storm clouds quickly rolling my way. I turned and ran towards the other side of the building where the fire escape was. I slowly started to climb onto it. It was creaking loudly. One wrong move and this whole thing will fall to the ground. Slowly I started to climb down it. It creaked with every move I made. I was almost halfway down when the creaks got louder and it started to sway to the side. I grabbed onto a nearby window ledge. The same moment I grabbed the ledge the whole fire escape fell. Luckily the window happened to be open. I pulled myself through the window. I stood up and looked out the window. The fire escape was in a million pieces below. I turned and walked out of the room. To my concern the room happened to be on fire. Great. The fire blazed around me. I tucked and rolled through the door. I was now standing in a long burning hallway. I ran towards the stairs. Pieces of the ceiling started falling around me. I didn’t have long before the whole building collapsed. I sprinted towards the stairs and busted through the door. I jumped over the first railing onto the stairs below and continued to run down them as fast a possible. I got about 5 stories down. I had about 3-4 stories left when I came to a stop. The stairs had things stacked all over it where I couldn’t go any further. I turned and ran up to the door that lead out into the hall. I slammed open the door to feel a rush of heat. I sprinted down the hall. At the end of the hall was an elevator. I grabbed the doors and tried to pry them open. The metal was getting hotter. I managed to pry the doors open enough where I could squeeze through. I ripped two long strips off the bottom of my shirt and wrapped it around my hands. I then, squeezed through the doors and grabbed the cable. I slowly started climbing down the cable. The bottom wasn’t too far away. My hands and arms started aching. I eventually made it down. Next, I heard a loud creaking sound. Seriously. I pried open the door and right as I squeezed through there was a loud snap and the elevator was lying right where I was just seconds before. I let out a deep breath of air. I could see the exit from where I was. I looked down the hallway and saw flames rolling quickly my way. I sprinted, once again, towards the exit. I smashed through the doors as the whole building burst into flames and started crumbling to the ground. I stood there panting for air. Finally I gained my breath and I woke up back in the chair. “Do you know how long that took you?” Four asked. “I don’t know. Like 2 hours maybe.” I shrugged. “No. More like 15 minutes.” He said. “Kai. We really need to talk.” “No. We don’t. I don’t see why you people can’t just leave me alone for a few days. Between you and your little girl friend I can’t get any peace.” I muttered and stood up. I almost fell over, but he grabbed my arm stabling me. “Kai. Please just talk to me.” He pleaded. “What? Let me guess Eric, my boyfriend, and Jeanine, my mother, are planning some evil plan to destroy divergents.” I said sarcastically. “Did he mention anything about it to you?” Four asked confused. “No. Your girlfriend did though.” I muttered and yanked my arm away.    “Kai. If he is can you talk to him please.” Four pleaded.    “No, and whatever he plans on doing I will stick by his side.” I said and walked out of the room. Leaving Four standing there alone and confused and slightly angry.

Warnings: nothing I don't think. anger, fears.

I started walking back to the dormitory when Eric caught up to me. He wrapped his arms around me. “Where are you going?” He asked sweetly.    “The dormitory. I wanted to take a shower.” I explained.    “I know this is a little out there right now, but if you want you could move in with me. No one would say anything. It’s just what happened with Peter and them, and you being in the 1st rank. I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing you could be in danger.” He explained.    “Wow. Am I making the big bad Eric go soft?” I asked teasingly.    “Only you could.” He smiled.    “Also the answer to your question is yes. I’d like to be able to sleep.” I said. It was true when I slept in the dormitory I was exhausted. This wasn’t for Eric it was for me. If we are going through all these mental preparation tests, I need to keep my strength up mentally.    He sighed with relief.    “Let me go get my stuff.” I explained and he nodded.    “I have a meeting right now, so just let yourself in. I put a key above the door.” He explained and jogged away.    I smiled to myself and walked to the dormitory. When I walked in Drew was standing there with a huge black eye. Most likely from Four. I smiled to myself knowing that the asshole deserved it. Peter was sitting on the bed next to Drew and Molly. Peter had his arm in a sling along with a black eye to match Drew’s. I walked past them and straight to my bunk to grab my stuff.    “Where are you going?” Molly asked angrily.    “She probably got kicked out, because she’s psycho.” Peter mumbled.    “Actually. I’m moving in with my boyfriend.” I explained picking up my stuff.    “What does he even see in you anyways?” Peter asked walking up to me.    “Probably the fact that I don’t put up with assholes like you.” I said stepping closer.    “Watch yourself, Kai. You’re outnumbered here.” Molly said from behind Peter.    “I’m not scared of you. I was also outnumbered last night when you guys were being cowards and trying to throw Tris off of the chasm. See, I don’t like Tris either, but at least i’m not trying to kill her, so I don’t have to worry about her beating me. Back the hell off.” I snapped.    “Or what? You’ll get your big scary boyfriend to beat me up?” Peter asked.    “No. I’ll do it myself.” I said and walked out. None of them said anything to me as I was walking out of the dormitory. I walked down the long dark hallway.    “Kai!” I heard someone yell from behind me. I spun around to see Izzy, Dean and Richard walking up.    “Where are you going?” Izzy asked eyeing my clothes.    “I’m moving out of the dorms.” I explained.    “You can’t do that until the initiation is over.” Richard said.    “Do you really think anybody is going to say anything? When her boyfriend is Eric?” Dean asked.    “True, but still. How?” Richard asked.    “Eric was able to pull some strings. He said it isn’t safe for me in the dorms since I’m in the first ranking.” I explained.    They all nodded. Eric didn’t get back to the apartment for most of the night. He got back at like 3 a.m.    I was already lying in bed, but I couldn’t sleep. I heard him walk in. He was trying to be quiet. I heard his heavy steps walking closer. I didn’t say anything. The bathroom light flipped on. Followed by the shower turning on. I started to fall asleep, then the bathroom lights shut off. Soon after, I felt him slide in next to me. I smiled when his arms wrapped around me and pulled me closer. I felt warm and safe in his arms. We both fell asleep right after.    The next morning I woke up still wrapped in his arms. I smiled to myself. I slid out of them, and Eric didn’t even notice. I grabbed my clothes and headed for the bathroom. I turned the shower on hot and got in. I was only in there for like 10 minutes, then got out. I was getting dressed when I heard a knock on the door.    “Are you out of the shower?” Eric asked.    “Yes.” I said opening the door. I was just drying off my hair at that point.    “Darn. I was hoping I could join you.” He smiled and wrapped his hands around me. I looked up at him.    “Maybe later.” I smiled at him.    “What if I don’t want to wait?” He asked.    “Well. Then, you don’t get anything.” I said smiling.    He slightly pouted his lips.    “Don’t try this with me, Eric” I smiled and walked out of the bathroom. I walked over to the bed and started lacing up my shoes. There was a knock on the door. Eric was already in the shower, so I stood up and walked to the door.    “Yes?” I said opening the door.    “Kai?” Four asked confused.    “Yes?” I asked.    “You know what? I don’t wanna know.” He muttered shaking his head.    “I came to talk to Eric. Where is he?” Four asked.    “He’s busy. Can I take a message?” I asked.    “No.” Four said and turned and started walking back down the hallway.    “Four!” I yelled after him.    He turned around, “What?” he muttered.    “What’s going on?” I asked.    “What do you mean? I don’t have time for this Kai.” He muttered.    “Four, you know damn well what I mean.” I said staring at him.    “Kai, all I’m saying is to watch out. He’s going to hurt you.” Four said.    “How do you know that?” I asked.    “Because, Kai, that’s the type of person that he is. I’ve seen it happen before. I’m not gonna stop you if you back, but just know that I warned you.” He said and walked away. Leaving me alone and confused in the hallway.    I sighed and walked back into the apartment. I walked in as Eric was getting out of the shower.    “Four came by.” I said sitting on the bed looking at Eric.    “What did he have to say?” He asked. He was in the mirror doing his hair.    “I don’t know. He didn’t tell me.” I said.    “Did you ask?” Eric asked.    “No, Eric. That thought didn’t occur to me.” I said sarcastically.    Eric laughed lightly and shook his head, “Alright. I’ll talk to him later.”    I nodded, “He can we talk about something?” I asked.    “I thought we were?” He asked pretending to be confused.    “Funny, but no this is serious. What were you going to tell me, or at least wanted to tell me?” I asked.    Eric looked away for a second, then looked back at me. “You know the divergents right?” He asked.    “Yeah of course, why?” I asked concerned.    “Well, Jeanine has developed a chip that won’t work on divergents. So, we’ll be able to control everyone except divergents. Which will make them stand out, and we will be able to execute them easily. Meanwhile, we will control everyone else and take over Abnegation.” He explained. It made sense, and it was a smart theory. I can’t help but think that this is kind of wrong. No, I don’t like abnegation, but do they deserve to be taken over? No. I don’t see a problem with divergents, but do they deserve to die? Still no. I will still stand by Eric all the way. Eric understands this situation better than I do. I must have been quiet for a while. “Kai?” Eric asked shutting off the bathroom light and walking out. “Are you ok?” He asked. “Yeah, I was just processing everything.” I said standing up. “Are you still going to stand with me?” He asked. “100%” I smiled, “Not only would I go against you on this, but it would also be going against my mom. I couldn’t make myself do either. I know Jeanine didn’t raise me, but I still feel the connection with her. I will stand with you guys no matter what.” I explained. He looked so happy and relieved, “Thank you.” He said pulling me into a hug. “But Eric, I don’t want to be controlled.” I said. “I want to stand with you and Jeanine.” “Of course, Kai, I wouldn’t let them control you. Ever.” He said smiling. “When will all of this happen anyways?” I asked as Eric sat down to put his shoes on. “Well, you have this week's training. At the end of the week you will have one last simulation infront of all of us. Including Jeanine, Max, Four, and I. Then you will have the last set on ranks, and during dinner that night we will put in a ‘tracking chip’. The next morning they will be practically robots.” Eric explained. I nodded smiling. “What are we doing today?” I asked. “Well you will go through your fear landscapes today, and work on getting out quickly. Then, later tonight I have something I want to show you.” He explained and I nodded. We finished getting ready and walked out of his. Our. Apartment. We walked into the cafeteria like we do every morning. Today, we decided to split ways. I walked over Izzy and them, while Eric walked over to the other leaders. “So, how is it?” Izzy asked. “How’s what? Living with Eric?” I asked. “All of it! His appartment? Sex? Him in general?” She asked. “Well, first of all, I feel as if you care more than I do. Second of all, I don’t see why you care. And third, I guess if you must know, his place is clean and nice. Haven’t gotten to the sex part. And he’s great.” I explained. Izzy nodded, it looked as if she was about to asked more questions, but Dean interrupted her first. “Izzy. Calm down. Let her be.” Dean said. Izzy nodded sadly. Today the food happened to be set out on the tables instead of having to pick it up ourselves. We ate and talked about our fears and stuff. Then after breakfast, we were told to head over to the fear landscape room. I was walking over there along with Izzy and them, when Eric called me over. He was with Max and Jeanine. “Kai, Eric here say’s that you would like to join us in taking over abnegation?” Jeanine asked. “Yes. That is true.”  I said staring at her. I could see a slight resemblance now. Jeanine nodded and looked over at Max, “Alright. Then it’s set.” she smiled. I looked over at Eric who was staring at me. Eric smiled and I ran back to Izzy, Dean and Richard. “What was that all about?” Richard asked. “Oh, Jeanine just wanted to confirm something. Also, did I ever tell you guys that Jeanine's my mom.” I asked trying to change the topic. “What!” Richard and Izzy practically yelled at the same time. “Yeah, I just found out the other day.” I explain. Their mouths were literally wide open. “Why didn’t you ever tell us?” Izzy asked slapping my shoulder. “I guess I was just busy, and it just happened.” I explained and she just stared at me. “Well, we need to catch up. Girl time. Tomorrow night. We are going to get a tattoo.” She said and I just stared at her. “Assuming I don’t have an option?” I asked. “You assumed right, Erudite girl.” She smiled. I smiled back, and we all continued to walk to the fear landscape room. “Today you will go through your fears once again. You will go through them everyday this week. On Friday you will go through them once again, but you will perform in front of all the leaders. You will perform not only in front of Max, Eric, and I, but you will also perform in front of Jeanine Matthews.” Four explained once we all arrived. We all nodded and sat down. Time went on and eventually Four called me back again. I didn’t speak to him, nor did he try and speak to me. I just walked in a sat down. He began typing away at his computer. He turned with the needle, and pushed it into my neck. I sat there quietly, until the serum took over. Again, I was standing I was stranded in the ocean.  I began to let myself sink. There is no land around, and there is no way I could fight against that huge whale. This was the easiest and fastest way to get out. To just accept my death. Which I did happily. Then, I found myself buried alive. I sighed my heart going crazy. I laid there and closed my eyes. They said that I will move on if I slow my heart down to a normal pace. With my eyes closed I imagined myself lying with Eric. We are laying in his bed. Everything soon changed. I was on the tall building. I quickly ran over to the fire escape and gently began to climb down. I made it a little further down, than last time. The fire escape started to creak even louder, so I jumped through the nearest window. Tearing two strips of fabric from my shirt, I began to tie them around my hands as I ran down towards the elevator shaft. I grabbed on to the cable. It was easier this time, because I had better traction, due to the cloth. I quickly made my way down. Once I stepped out the elevator fell.  I sprinted for the front door. Once I got outside the building burst into flames. I woke up in the chair again. Four was typing at his computer. “Kai, You need to know something.” Four stated. “What?” I muttered just wanting to get out of there. “You can’t tell anyone, but you’re divergent.” He said and continued to type away at his computer. “No, I’m not.” I said. “Yes. You are. Now get out.” He muttered. I didn’t say anything. I just slowly walked out. I walked down the dark hallway. I heard a familiar voice. Eric’s. I quickly walked towards the voice. It was Eric and Jeanine’s. I stopped. “You’re lying.” I heard Eric say in a voice deeper, than usual. “Why? Why would I lie to you Eric? Especially about my daughter?” Jeanine asked. “What do you want to me do then? Kill her?” He asked sarcastically. “Yes. That’s exactly what I want you to do.” Jeanine said matter-of-factly. “Fine.” Eric muttered. I started backing away. I had to get out of here. I heard heavy footsteps walking my way. I tried to turn and run, but I ended up stumbling over my feet. I fell. Flat on the ground.    “Kai?”  I heard Eric and Jeanine ask. I turned over so I was on my back. “Yes?” I asked. “What are you doing?” Eric asked in a deep demanding voice. “I...I fell.” I mumbled. “Do you have something you need to tell me?” He asked. “No…” I said quietly. “Coward.” Eric muttered and pulled me up. “I know what you are. Why didn’t you tell me?” He asked angrily. “I didn’t know.” I explained. “I don’t believe that.” He said. His voice getting louder. “It’s the truth.” I mumbled quietly. Tears starting to slip.    “Maybe.” He muttered and pulled a gun out of his belt.    “Eric. Baby, please.” I started.    “Kai. Don’t. Don’t make this any harder.” He said pointing the gun at my head.    “Eric. Baby…” I said as my ears started ringing and I was lying on the floor. Soon, everything was black. I then woke up, in the fear landscape room. My face soaked with tears. Four turned and looked at me. He leaned against the wall.    “You alright?” He asked. I simply nodded my head. My whole body was trembling. I slowly stood up. My legs almost giving out. I grabbed the chair to steady me.    “Sit. I’ll be right back.” Four muttered and left. A few moments later Four returned, with Eric. I sighed with relief, or at least I think it was relief.    “Kai?” Eric asked helping me up. “You alright.” I nodded my head yes. He put his arm around me and walked me out.
