Hey everyone! here's chapter 3! read and enjoy! and dont forget to review please!


I'm awake now, really awake. I can see where I am now, and I'm not neccessarily happy with what I see. I'm in a small white room, about the size of my cell at Erudite Headquarters. In it is a cot that i'm currently laying on as well as a window on the opposite wall. The lighting is the same as well. The lamps casting off a blue glow on the pristinely clean walls. This place is eerily Erudite.

I get up, my legs shaking under my weight, I can barely stand, but still, I manage to keep myself upright. I haven't been on my feet in a while. I check my body for bullet wounds, but I find none, I guess I really never was shot.

I take a few steps to get in to the feeling of using my legs again, and then search the room. I avoid the window for now, afraid of what I'll find beyond it. Checking the only other thing in the room, the bed, I come to the conclusion that i'm not going to find some concealed weapon and instead I check the door. Finding that it is locked, I sit on the bed again, and wait for someone to come in.

I hope Tobias is here, or Christina, or even Peter. I just need to see someone familiar, someone who can give me answers. I lay down on the bed and close my eyes, imagining a perfect world, where I don't find myself imprisoned on a regular basis, just a life with Tobias, in a nice Dauntless apartment. I would take that life anytime.

I am on the verge of sleep as I hear a door open, and immediately, My eyes shoot open. I sit up, seeing a figure in the frame of the open door. I ask " Who are you?" because it's darker now and my eyes aren't adjusted to this light.

"It's me, Marcus, and I'd like you to come with me Beatrice, You'd like answers I expect. Come with me, and you'll get them" He walks over to me and hands me some Dauntless clothing, a tight black shirt and some black pants. "Put these on and knock on the door when you're ready."

I sigh "ok, i'll go with you." He nods and walks out the door, closing it behind him. I need to go with Marcus, he can give me the answers I need, and then I may be able to find someone I can really trust. As I finish changing, I remember I never checked that window, and I go over to look outside for the first time today. What I see is not what I expected.

I'm very high up, in what seems to be a tower. I look down and see the streets below, I am definitely not in Chicago. There are working streetlights and buildings that largely resemble Erudite headquarters, but the buildings here are much taller, and very new looking. Beyond them, I can't see much, The streetlights aren't on further down the street.

I walk away from the window, I've seen enough for now. I walk towards the door and knock on it, Marcus opens it and without word we walk out of the room and down a series of long white hallways with blue lighting, again, this place is extremely Erudite, and it scares me a bit. I ask Marcus while we walk, " Where are we?" and he turns and replies
"Welcome to the former city of Los Angeles Beatrice."

What is Los Angeles and how far is it from Chicago? A million questions begin to flood my mind, and I take in a deep breath as we reach the end of a hallway and find an elevator waiting for us with two armed guards at it's doors.

Marcus guides me in and the doors close, we begin descending, and I can't help it. I'm beginning to panic...
