Introduction

I cry out in pain as my leg is snapped underneath the weight of an elevator. How did I get like this you ask, well let's start about a week before this point.

Chapter One- The Box

" Hey Tris did you hear that there is a meeting in like an hour for all interns at the lodge?" asks Tobias my office intern. " No I didn't know that but I won't be attending I am not an intern so why are you telling me?" I say a little to harshly. Tobias frowns " They said you were presenting something that could change the company forever." I didn't know that I was presenting anything, I guess they could be giving me a script to tell you all." " Guess they could" Tobias says and clicks his tongue. " I must go now, thank you for telling me about this Tobias." He smiles and waves, I walk to the owners office and knock on the door. " Come in Tris." I hear from inside. I walk in and look right into the eyes of my boss, he is a young man maybe twenty-five. He has blonde hair and weird colored eyes they are like blue but sometimes they are orange. " Why didn't you tell me about this meeting that I am presenting?" I ask intimidated this guy scares me. " I didn't because I want to see how you react when I tell you about this." He pulls out a box. " What it's only a box." He opens the box inside is a crystal, it's blue, it has as a strange shine to it like it should not be on this planet. I gasp. " Where did you get that thing?" I ask exasperated. " I got this to increase the number of gems we sell here at the gem lodge. We are going to try to imitate this crystal as much as we possibly can, and sell them." I gasp " Are none of the gems we sell here real?" I ask feeling lied to. " None of them are real no, we sell them like they are though, and you will not tell anyone or you will get fired and possibly killed." Well I think killed or lie to many innocent people? " I won't tell" I say hoping he doesn't notice the unsurity in my voice. " Good." Is all he says, his eyes have turned flaming orange, that's a sign I need to get out. " I am going to go prepare for this meeting." He hands me the box with the strange gem in it and says " If you show this to anyone you are dead." I run out of his office and go to the meeting room where I find Tobias. I didn't realize I was crying until he says " Why are you crying Tris?" " Well I can't tell you now, because I don't know." He reaches over and wipes a tear off my face. " Mr. Connally threatened my life today." I whisper. " He did what? Why? Are you alright?" Tobias asks quickly than blushes. " Hey why the blush?" I laugh quietly. He turns shyly, I turn him back around " Did you know there is someone here in the lodge who loves you?" I ask him " No I was not made aware of that until this moment." He says very grammatically correct. " Well there is." I tell him
