Chapter: 1
Laly's P.O.V.
The other Factions and I were digging up old things for history. The Erudites wanted us to find things from the past so that we could link them with the future in some way.
Oh I'm Laly by the way, I belong to the Faction of Abnegation.
The most sefless of all the Factions. My selfish sister picked Candor though, because she feels that life could use a lot more honesty with other people than lies.
It doesn't matter though, we were still stuck in the same field with other Factions digging up things from that belonged to the Insurgent War.
All I found was skeletons and things that belonged to the former person. Like a wallet, filled with money I was thinking of taking.
I really liked history, especially since we were allowed to dig things up from history and learn about them. I was definitely fascinated with the Insurgent war though.
Thirty years ago in the Insurgent War, a teenage girl named Tris led a war of people to fight against the Erudite. Which is pretty dumb if you ask me, because they lost the war, and the Erudite killed them.
Shade walked up to me, he was a guy from Dauntless. Black hair, with one blue eye and the other eye was green. I know Heterochromia was weird but "I think it really suited him.
"Hey Laly," Shade muttered. "Come here, check out what I found."
I got up and followed him to a burnt side of the field. The ground was black and charred, with few pieces of grass in scattered areas.
Shade was walking in front of me, he had tattoo of a few X's running down the back of his arm. He threw a shovel on the ground, and leaned down, he grabbed my hand and pulled me down with him.
"What do you think is in it?" he was asking about the safe that was lying in the dug up hole. "I know you like history, so I wanted you to be the first one to discover this with me."
I smiled because I thought I felt worth it.
I helped him pull out the safe from the ground. There was a key attached to a string.
I watched as Shade inserted the key, and twisted it. The safe door flung open-
It was the end of the day.
I pulled the video helmet off of my head.
A bunch of Erudite guards were guarding the door, and it was time for all of to go back to our cells.
"Back to your cells!" A guard yelled.
We all got up from the Video room. The video room was basically where we spent our life.
Ever since the Erudites took control, they killed off the adults from other Factions and use the teens to repopulate in hopes for us to continue the legacy when they're long gone.
I was escorted back to my cell, and I was lucky enough to get a glimpse of Shade, he gave me one last look and then he was escorted down the hall.
My cell was a gray small square room, with a tiny square window right above my bed.
I always liked to look at the stars before I went to sleep.
I really want to fell the real world on my skin before I die.
But now, I was enslaved to the Erudites because I was born into the organization.
I fell onto my bed, and stared up at the ceiling.
Life was meaningless when you spent it in between four walls, and only had the video room to take you to a virtual world.
