Mystery POV:
The books have been in my family for generations. The author is one of my ancestors. When I was a child my mother would read them to me, I thought that they were amazing. I thought it was cool that they were set in our world, the factions, unlike the other books I had. When I turned twelve, my mother told me the truth about the books, that they weren't fictional, that they would tell the future. When I turned sixteen, the books were officially handed down to me, I was to keep them safe, and that's exactly what I've done. I was instructed to kidnap fourteen people and have them read these books when the events started to happen. That day is finally here. Eleven Dauntless, two Abnegation, and one Erudite will be locked in a house away from society until they finish the trilogy, at which point they will be let go and find a way to stop the war.
I hope this works.
"Is everything ready?" Edward says to me. We stand in an abandoned building in the factionless sector, both in Dauntless clothes, if we're going to get to the eleven Dauntless, we have to look like them.
I told Edward about the books when I was thirteen, we had been friends our entire lives and I knew that if I was going to pull this off, I would need help. We've been planning this for years now, every last detail. This has to work. It will work.
"I've got the cameras running on a loop, so no one will know that we were ever in the compound.", I say, "We already have Caleb Prior and his parents. We have to be fast, we only have about five hours until the Sleeping Serum wears off and we have to get them all into the house before they wake up." Even though this is all planned out, I'm still nervous, one slip up could ruin everything.
Edward can clearly tell that I'm worried because he places a hand on my shoulder and says, "We've got this. Everything has gone to plan so far, the initiates went through Lauren's fear landscape today, and just like she was supposed to, Tris went to see her brother. Everything is playing out the way it is supposed to. This will work." I nod, more sure of myself now. He's right, we've got this. We are going to help save Chicago.
Everything goes perfectly with the Dauntless, we manage to get them all out of the compound without a hitch. Edward and I have gotten them into the van and I sit in the back, making sure that no one wakes up before they should, and he drives us to the house.
I look at Will, lying there, unconscious. I know he can't hear me but I start to talk anyway. "I'm sorry that I had to do it this way. I hope you'll understand. I'm doing this to protect you, I can't let my little brother die."
The door of the van swings open and Edward stands there, "We're here, Cara."
Tris' POV
I wake up to an arm wrapped around me and I look up to see Tobias sleeping. He looks so peaceful, I smile at the sight. I roll over so that I am facing him, but my movements seem to wake him.
He smiles at me. "Morning.", his voice is thick with sleep.
"Morning.", I say, leaning my head on his chest again.
Someone clears their throat and our heads both snap to the other side of the room where twelve other people are stood. I sit up quickly and look around the room, I realize that we're not in Tobias' apartment and I have no idea how we ended up here.
"What the hell is going on?", I ask no one in particular, "Where are we?"
"I don't care where we are anymore.", I turn towards the voice. Christina. "I want to know what is going on here.", she motions to me and Tobias. Oh, no. I have no idea how to explain this right now.
"I don't think that's really our main priority right now, Christina.", Eric says from behind her. Thank God, I don't have to try to explain.
"There's a letter.", Tobias says from behind me. We all turn to him, he holds a small envelope in his hands.
"Hurry up and read it then." Eric sounds agitated.
"Dear Four, Tris, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Eric, Tori, Christina, Will, Caleb, Andrew, and Natalie,
I know that you are probably all very confused right now, but I promise everything is about to become clear.
There are three books, they are called the Divergent Trilogy, which have been in my family for generations. These are not ordinary books, they are a premonition of what is to come.
I was instructed to bring you all here when the events of the books started to come true. That time is now.
You must read these books together and find a way to stop what is going to happen. No one should skip ahead, this is very important. It will be no use if you read on without everyone else.
You're probably wondering what makes you fourteen so special. If you don't stop this, nine of you will die and one will become paralyzed.
My identity nor your location is important. What is important is that you finish these books, you will not be allowed to leave until you do this.
Have fun."
We're all stunned to silence. How is this possible? This has to be some crazy stunt.
Tori breaks the silence, "We should probably start reading, then."
A/N: Sorry that this chapter is so short! The rest of them will be much longer.
