So, I decided to publish this little figment of my imagination. This story is basically how I would've ended Allegiant. I think its quite clever, and I added some context from the end of Allegiant in case you'd all forgotten what happens.

I know, surprising, but all rights go to VERONICA ROTH. Not me.

Chapter 50, pg.473 and 474

"...My mother wasn't a fool," I say. "She just understood something you didn't. That its not sacrifice if its someone else's life you're giving away, its just evil."

I back up another step and say, "She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love, not misplaced disgust for another's genetics. That it should be done from necessity, not without exhausting all other options. That it should be done for people who need your strength because they don't have enough of their own. That's why I need to stop you from 'sacrificing' all those people and their memories. Why I need you to rid the world of you once and for all."

I shake my head.

"I didn't come here to steal anything, David."

I twist and lunge toward the device. The gun goes off….

My ending:

But I feel nothing. I feel nothing. No bullet has hit me. I am not wounded. I grab onto the device and don't dare to let go. I look over to David and see he's in shock. The gun malfunctioned.

"What? No. No, come on, you stupid!" David bangs the gun on the metal table. I hold the device with all I am worth, and I open the lid.

"0-8-0-7-1-2." I punch in the numbers and mumble their names. I hit the green button, and the serum is released into the compound, and the compound only. The city is safe from the serum.

"David," I say simply, and he turns to me with a scared look on his face.

"What did you do?" He asks me ferociously.

"You'll find out, now won't you?" And with that, I punch him in the face. He is knocked to the ground, a pool of blood forming under his nose. That'll teach him to try and kill me.

The guards come running into the room, and they confront me.

"What the...ohhh." The guards blink hard for a moment or two, and then realize that they have no idea what they were doing. They apologize to me for what they weren't sure they were doing and walk to the nurse's office. I don't lose any memory.

David is unconscious from the lovely punch I gave him earlier, so I don't have to worry about fighting him off. I stand with the device in my hands for a what feels like forever, just looking at the ground. My mind drifts from the ground and its nothingness to myself, and when I felt numb and nothing. That was when I went to Erudite headquarters, and I knew I'd never wake up from the sleep they planned to put me in. At the time, I felt emptiness knowing that I was going to die doing the right thing, but it didn't really hurt.

This emptiness I feel now feels like it should hurt, a little. I'm fine, I'm not going to die, but I have done something that I'm not all that proud of. I just erased people's minds: their memories, their relationships, their whole way of life. I just took away the only private place, the brain. Everyone I met here never had to share memories, ideas, or beliefs. Those things were all kept private and safe in their brains. And I just took that away from them. I took it, and destroyed it. I became something like Jeanine, I took away whatever I wanted from people and destroyed it so they couldn't have it again.

No, I think to myself. I didn't do that. This was for the good of every person who was on Earth. This was to help and raise a new society as it should've been. This was to get rid of the words "genetically damaged" and "genetically pure" because those words don't matter. What matter is the character of a person. Tobias is my living proof.

Tobias.

"TOBIAS!" I scream, running out of the door, trudging through the hallway where I had almost given in to death. Tobias, Tobias, Tobias, my heart pumps to the rhythm and my feet slap the floor with the rhythm. Tobias, Tobias, Tobias, my brain screams at me, almost pleading me to find him. To see him again, after we succeeded. After we did it. I pass through the hallway and turn down any hallway.

TOBIAS, TOBIAS, TOBIAS, my brain screams again, and my mouth tries to catch up. "Tobias! TOBIAS!" I have to slow down and put my hands on my knees to rest before starting to run again. I start to get worried with the lack of noise, so I start jogging again. "Tobias? TOBIAS!" I start into a full out run.

I have to find him. I need to find him. He has to be here. He has to be okay.
