I feel nothing, I hear nothing, I see nothing. This must be death. My mother's embrace isn't here to help me understand this. I am alone, and as far as i know, this is how it will be for the rest of eternity. My life after life.

"Hello Beatrice. It's been a while"

That voice, it can't be him, Marcus. This is my punishment, to live alone in nothingness and be tortured by the enemies i made in life. I stay silent, because what is there to say really, I have an eternity to think of what i'll say.

"You're confused aren't you?" His voice as cold as it has always been. "You never died Beatrice, did you really think anyone would risk killing someone as valuable as you?"

No, I can't be alive, I remember the pain of David's bullets, the blood pooling around my limp body, I remember leaving my body in my mother's arms. Why can't I see or feel anything? I can figure out more about this later, but now, my dauntless instincts tell me that the best I can do is keep calm and get answers later. So I reply, "Valuable? In what way have I ever been valuable to you?" I practically spit the words off of my unseen lips. "You only care about yourself, no one else. Not Tobias, Not Evelyn. You've never cared."

"You'll learn not to talk back when your life depends on it Beatrice. You don't know what you're into yet, but trust me, when you find out, you'll regret every word you say from then on."

What does he mean by that? Where am I and how did I get here?

He continues "I'll be back later, by then you'll be able to see, and we can give you some of the answers you're probably dying to hear." and then he vanishes as silently as he appeared.

He said it, I'll be able to see within the next few hours, and then i can find out what really happened to me back at the Weapons Lab. I can find out where Tobias is, if he's okay. I can see Caleb, and Christina, and Cara. I'll have my answers soon, but until then, all I can do is wait.


Hey Everyone! I rewrote this chapter at the urging of a few people, I'm sorry it's short, nut this one and Chapter 2 probably won't be super long. This is a work in progress right now and I ask that you please post a review or PM me with your concerns or remarks! Thank You!
