Tris POV

I wake up with pain everywhere and I am in an unfamiliar environment. Come to think of it, everything looks unfamiliar.

"Tris." I here a boy say. I turn my head to see the boy. His eyes are red, and he looks like he hasn't slept in days. I look around and see lost and confused faces around me. A feeling of achievement comes over me, but I have no idea why.

"Where am I?" I ask, and everyone surrounding my hospital bed looks overwhelmed. There is one girl and two boys, they are all strangers.

"your in the hospital." The girl says. Her eyes filled with worry.

"why?" I ask slowly.

"You did it, Tris. You saved everyone in the experiment, you saved me. but you got shot in the process." The same boy from before. Why would I save him? What did I do that is making all these people looking at me like I am some kind of hero? Why do these people look like they care about me so much, when they are strangers? All of these questions are racing through my mind.

"you don't know who we are, do you?" the other boy says, reading my mind.

"not a clue" I respond, all of the faces I see suddenly become sad, mournful, and even hurt. One of the boys sighs and says,

"I am Caleb, your brother." A moment of disbelief runs through me, I would not forget my own brother. But then again, why would he lie? But then who are the other two?

"I am Cara." The girl says

"and I am Mathew." The other boy says.

why don't I remember all these people? Then it hits me. Why don't I remember anything?


The three of them leave me to rest, but I can't sleep. My mind is racing with questions, none of which anyone around me can answer. Everyone around me is just as clueless as I am.

Suddenly, I hear talking outside. I hear the girl from before, Cara I think speaking. I listen closely,

"Tobias, you have to listen to me, she is alive, she is in that room, but-"

Cara doesn't get to finish. The man burst into the room, his eyes looking for something. His beautiful blue eyes land on me.

The boy runs in my direction, stopping at the foot of my bed.

"Tris" Is all he says. He bends so his eyes are at the same level as mine, and he looks into them lovingly. Why is looking into my eyes lovingly? He runs his fingers through my hair, his eyes filled with worry.

"your ok" With that he gently kisses my lips. For a second I am about to pull away, considering I am kissing a complete stranger, but something inside me keeps me from it.

"We did it, we did it and now we can live the lives we always wanted. Together." he says. I feel a twinge of guilt for not knowing what he is talking about at all.

"I love you Tris," he says."I love you so much. And I always will." He says this with so much love and compation that it brakes a part of my hear when I say,

"who are you?"
