Prologue

It's time. Caleb looked over at me with a look that said, "Please go in there for me." I shot him a look the said "no." He nodded, he actually understands. I deserve to live more than he does, go home, raise a family. He betrayed my parents, he betrayed the Prior name. He nodded at me and walked into the room containing the serum. You don't care. You don't care. I reminded myself over and over. You do care, you do care, my heart says. I didn't care anymore, when Caleb was out of sight, I sank slowly to the ground, eyes streaming with tears. Why do you care about him? My inner voices said. I didn't know the answer and I still don't to this day. Some things aren't meant to be known, for they leave us wondering forever.

"Tobias!" I ran to him. "Tris, you're alive! Where is Caleb?" I froze. "T-tobias, he, he went in instead of me. Caleb is dead" I had not the foggiest idea why I was so upset, Caleb, whose loyalty wavered my that a swaying bridge, was dead. He couldn't hurt anyone else.

Why do you care so much? Tris, you've seen so many people die, but why are you this hurt over your scumbag brother.
