Please read! Also, I'm not sure if I said this or not, but most of the characters belong to Veronica Roth.

Christina's POV

I hear the doorbell and answer the door. I find Carmen and Eli standing there hand in hand. Eli looks the same, but Carmen looks better than she did when we first met. Instead of the baggy t shirt and jeans, she's wearing a leather jacket, semi see through shirt, and leggings with jeans. She also put her hair up in a messy but still beautiful bun and put on makeup. She has silver and black eye shadow that brings out her dark brown eyes, mascara, and rose gold colored lipstick. For some reason she looks familiar.

I smile and let them in. "Let's start the game now that you guys are both here. My friends working outside the fence are also coming with someone else who wants to move into Chicago."

I really can't wait to see Zoe and Jack, Zoe's boyfriend, again. Their bringing their new friend Elina with them. As we walk into the room I notice the boys are all gawking at Carmen, except for Tobias. Shauna smacks Zeke and he stops, but the rest of the boys are still staring. Eli luckily is pretty chill and just clears his throat. I want to laugh. If Zeke or Tobias were in this situation, they would probably punch all of the guys. Eli did look like he wanted to punch them, but he kept a steady head. I was glad.

"So… let's start playing, I'll go first since this is my apartment." I say.

Everyone nods and Carmen and Eli take a seat together on the couch.

I start, "Zeke, truth and dare?"

Zeke screams, "DARE!"

I smile wickedly, I have the perfect dare. Zeke looks at my expression and looks scared.

"I dare you to let me Eli give you a makeover." I say grinning. Everybody except Zeke laughs.

"Fine, but only because I don't want to be the first one to strip down." He snaps.

Eli goes into my room and and seats Zeke in front of my makeup table. After about 10 minutes later they come back to the room, Eli laughing and Zeke looking like a girl. We all burst into laughter.

"He actually looks pretty good!" I say between laughs. "You completely ruined my dare!"

Eli shrugs, "I've seen Carmen apply makeup before, so I just sort of copied her."

Zeke groans, "Can I please get this stuff off my face?" He asks.

"No! Not until I tell you." I reply.

"My turn then," Zeke says after pouting. "Carmen, truth and dare?"

Carmen thinks for a moment and says, "Truth."

"PANSYCAKE!" Zeke shouts, but it hurts a little because it reminds me of Uriah.

Carmen rolled her eyes. "The only reason I picked truth was because you seem like the type of person to dare me to drink hot sauce or toilet water."

"Smart." Shauna says nodding at Carmen.

"Hey!" Zeke looks offended and slaps Shauna, earning himself a slap back.

"So what's my question?" Carmen asks. Just as she says that the doorbell rings.

"One moment," I say and go to answer it. Zoe stands on the other side grinning.

"Zoe! How are you?" I say.

"I'm great! It;s good to see you again." Zoe replies. She's wearing layers. I notice a short girl with brown hair and the side of her head shaved, brown eyes, and several piercings on her ear, also wearing layers. Behind her is Jack. He has on is normal clothes, but his hair is longer than the last time I saw him.

They come in and I introduce them to Carmen and Eli. I'm about to ask Zeke to continue the game, but then I notice the look on Carmen and Jack's face. Pure shock.

"You're supposed to be dead." Carmen says slowly.

"So are you." Jack says.

Suddenly the run to each other and embrace. I suddenly know why Carmen looked so familiar. They had the same hair and eyes. Both of them had dark tan skin. I remember Jack once talking about having a sister several years younger who died in his old home, New York City. I also remember Jack being defensive and never talking about his parents, like Carmen. They must have died early on.

"It really is you." Carmen says and tears fill up in her eyes.

"Yep. I'm alive and well, what about you?" He asks his little sister.

"Well I'm alive." She says shrugging.

Jack nods like he understands, then asks, "Where's Beth?"

Carmen looks at her feet. "She didn't make it."

Jack looks pained but nods. "I didn't think she would make it."

Zeke clears his throat. "I hate to be insensitive and interrupt this brother sister reunion, but can we get back to the game? Also, who's Beth? "

Carmen glares at Zeke and he gulps. Jack looks worriedly at her, but then joins Zoe and Elina the big couch.

Carmen sits down next to Eli again and kisses him on the cheek. Jack raises his eyebrow but doesn't say anything.

"What's my question?" Carmen asks.

"What is your special talent?" Zeke asks.

Carmen fidgets with her jacket for a moment, but then sighs.

"You know you don't have to tell them right?" Eli says looking at Carmen.

Jack raises his eyebrow again and I suspect even he doesn't know Carmen's talent, but he's obviously against Eli being with Carmen.

"No they deserve to know." Carmen nods.

"So, to answer your question, I can see people's past." Carmen says.

We all stare at her in shock.

"Wait, so you can basically look in people's heads?" Tobias asks defensively.

Carmen nods. "Yeah I can."

Eli's POV

The new girl, Elina was her name, looks nervous, but also glances protectively at Tobias. I knew this routine well, Carmen opens up about her past, they ask more questions, eventually they decide she's a freak and kick us out. I couldn't let that happen anymore.

"How did you get this talent?" Shauna asks defensively.

I want to punch that girl. Carmen shouldn't have had to tell them anyways. She must have known they would be more understanding though if she had told them this early on.

"You don't have to say anything else." I say before realizing I sound mad.

Carmen shook her head. "I'm tired of keeping it a secret. I got the ability from a serum that was supposed to turn me into a braindead servant, like a robot, but instead it did something worse. It let me live my life, but with consequences."

They all stare at her like she's crazy, even her own brother, and I'm about to take Carmen back to our apartment, but then Shauna surprises me.

She walks over to us and sits next to Carmen and says, "I'm sorry I asked, I should have been more sensitive. Thank you for telling us though."

Carmen nods. "I know you want me to tell you guys what I see in all of you Zeke."

Zeke looks stunned that she just read his mind, but then nods.

Carmen smiles a bit glancing at Christina and then says, "I'd love to Christina, it's really sweet of you."

Christina's POV

I smile at Carmen. I had just thought about throwing a girls slumber party to welcome Carmen and Elina. I can't believe she just read my mind, but instead of feel protective like I thought I would, I realize that this could make our friendship so much stronger. We could pretty much talk to each other without anyone knowing what we're saying.

Carmen laughs and I realize she know what I was thinking. "I think that's a great idea!" She says in response to what I was thinking.

"Let's make a deal though, you try not to look in our minds without their permission, okay?" I say.

Carmen nods smiling. "I won't in some cases. Besides, I need to concentrate in order to do so and you need to be pretty still for me to do it."

Eli smiles and mouths "thank you for understanding" at me when Carmen turns away I nod back. I'm glad Carmen has Eli, she seems kinda fragile, and Eli really cares about her.

Carmen interrupts my thought and says, "Do you guys want me to tell you what I see in you?"

Everyone except for Elina and Tobias nod. I know why Tobias is hesitant. His past is something he keeps very private. Even his closest friends like Zeke only know part of it. Tris was the only person who knew about his past because she was the only person he told. Elina I wasn't too sure why.

Carmen started around the circle, starting with Zeke. She looks at him for a moment and then says, "So, I'll say the key events in your life. You've never met your dad, you were always a goofy child, playing pranks on everyone, you helped fight in the war but stayed in Chicago to look after Shauna, at first you were mad at Tobias, but then you forgave him. Finally, you are happy that you are settling down with Shauna. Oh, and you've had a crush on Shauna since you guys were in 5th grade."

"CARMEN!" Zeke screams whacking her with a pillow. "WHY DID YOU NEED TO TELL EVERYONE THAT?"

Carmen just giggles and moves on to Shauna. "You grew up with a younger brother and sister, you had a happy childhood. You started dating Zeke before the war. Then you almost died, almost lost your brother, and lost your sister. You were very glad Zeke stayed with you instead of leaving, and finally you have settled down with Zeke."

Carmen comes to me next and tells everyone my story, which they all already know. She goes through the circle telling everyone what she sees in them. She only hesitates at Jack to slap him. Then she stops at Peter.

"Some of your story is a little blurry. Somethings blocking it." Carmen says. "It's like a chunk of your life is missing."

Peter looks stunned at this, but the rest of us were expecting it. It must have been the memory serum.

Carmen shrugs and moves on to Tobias who fidgets nervously. She didn't even need to look at him to say his story.

"Let's just say you had a hard childhood, you came to Dauntless, you had an uneventful life until she came. Then when the war ended, you lost her." Carmen says.

Tobias looks at the ground but I notice that he whispered "thank you" to Carmen. She must not have said everything she saw.

Then she moves on to Elina, who is fighting furiously with the hem of her shirt.

Carmen look at Elina and furrows her eyebrows, then sighs and said, "I know who you are." And moves on to Eli.

That's it!? Who is Elina and what does she have to hide? Carmen must not have thought she was dangerous though, and else she would have told us.

Carmen smiled at Eli tilting her head. "You were born rich. You met me when we were both 16. We both left our families when we were 18 to join the revolution. You eventually had to leave the city with me and a couple of friends. You ended up working for the Bureau. Finally you decided to move to Chicago with your girlfriend." Carmen finished by giving Eli a kiss and sitting down next to him.

We all stare at her. Finally Zeke asks, "Can you elaborate more on what you said?"

"Sorry, but that's privileged information." She replies. "I can't tell anyone without permission. And besides, if there was anything that was necessary for you to know, I would have told you."

Zeke yawns and after a few more rounds of truth and dare, we all go to bed.
