CHAPTER THREE

TRIS

There it is. The labyrinth's entrance. I'm about to go in, with Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Will and Tori. I also asked Al if he wanted to come, but he said he is happy here.

I turn to say good-bye to my parents and friends. Suddenly, I'm glad my mom asked me to stay, it felt good to be able to relax for some time. And to enjoy their company again.

I put one hand on my gun (I'm finally not that afraid to use it)

"Ready?" I ask

The others nod

I take a deep breath and walk in, closely followed by my friends.

We walk for a few minutes, sometimes seeing behind our backs, until we can only see the tunnel and the dim light of our flashlights.

We reach a bifurcation, two tunnels.

"Left or right?" I ask

Uriah is the one to answer

"Left"

I start to walk towards it, but Will stops me.

"Wait, we should go to the right"

I frown "Why?"

"Look, there is an arrow on each, blue on the right and black on the left"

"So?"

"So I think the blue leads to the outside"

"What is so special about blue? The color of your old faction?"

He looks irritated

"No. Blue is the color of the sky, sky is life. Black means-"

"-death" Marlene finishes for him

He just nods

"Fine, let's go through the right"

We walk to it, and soon enough, we reach a dead end. Lynn turns towards Will

"Blue is the right choice, huh?"

"This doesn't make sense! It was supposed to let us advance"

"Well, your Erudite side served you well"

"Shut up"

I ignored their fight, and looked to something that would give us a clue of were to go. Then I notice that there are some symbols carved into the wall.

I examine them closer, and find one that suspiciously looks like a door knob, I push it, and the stone wall disappears, revealing a big room

They stare at me with astonished looks

"How did you do that?" Will asks

"I saw one symbol that looked like a door knob and pushed it"

"Should we go in?" Uriah says

"I don't see why not" I answer

"It could be the first test, are you sure you wanna go?" Tori says

"Well, to see Tobi-, I mean, to revive we need to pass the test, so one way or another we'll have to get through" I say

"Fair enough" Tori answers

We go in, but Lynn steps on something, and the walls let out some kind of gas

"Oops"

And we all fall unconcious

I wake up shortly after the gas knocked us out, a Divergent thing I guess. That means Uriah must be awake too.

I jog towards him, and slowly shake him

"Wake up"

He just mutters in his sleep

"No mom, I don't wanna go to school"

I slap him, not too hard, but that still doesn't work. God, he really has a heavy sleep.

Maybe I'm the only one who can resist this serum, but I'll try one more time.

I take out the small bag with food my mom gave us, then the water bottle and wet his face

He sits up, coughing and wheezing, exaggerating as always

"How are you?" I ask

"I'm good, how did you wake up?"

"Divergent, remember?"

"Then, why wasn't I awake until now?"

"I can easily resist more serums than normal divergents, even the death one"

"What about the others?"

"That's a lot of questions. I guess we'll have to try waking them up too"

He stands up

We try waking them up too, but nothing works.

"Then I guess we are about to face the first test" I say

"I thought that serum was it?"

"I don't think so, maybe that was just to keep us asleep until something eats us, I don't think they were counting on divergents to be here"

"Okay, it's just you and me to take down that 'monster' you were talking about"

"Yeah, but I doubt it is a mons-"

But a loud roar interrupts me, it is coming from the other end of the room

Uriah and I both take out our guns, and some big creature emerges from the shadows

It looks like a big slime ball, with tentacles all over its body and some {espinas} here and there. No eyes but it has a big circular mouth with sharp teeth that covers half its body. It's as big as ten elephants. And it's roar is like nothing I've heard before, a mixture of lots of animals.

I gulp, I never signed up for this

"I guess there's no turning back now" I say

"Uh-huh"

We both fire at the beast
