I'm back :D Wow... I never realized keeping up with two stories would be this hard! I get up one chapter and then I'm immediately working on the next one. Oh well, this is fun! So... I'm really happy because I think I might've finally figured out a direction for this story. Thanks to all my reviewers and followers and favoriters :D Shoutout to Pheonex305 - your review really helped in figuring out a direction for my story.

Anyways, on with the story! :D

Disclaimer: Don't own Divergent. I do own a this really cute blue skirt :D It has like white polka dots and-

Okay, I'm fangirling over a skirt. I'm sorry. Let's get on with the story.

"This is Marlene, Uriah, oh - wait, you'd know them already, wouldn't you?" Tris grins, motioning to a group of black clothed teenagers gathered in front of the Dauntless compound to greet us. I swallow hard and wipe my palms on my shorts nervously before speaking, trying to smile. "Yeah, of course. Uriah, Marlene, Christina, Zeke, Shauna, Will, and obviously Four and Tris... Where's Lynn?" I ask, picturing the Dauntless girl with tattoos and cropped hair. Suddenly, I spot a dark skinned boy with red-streaked hair next to Marlene at the back, grinning at me. But before I can comment, Uriah jumps in.

He's the first. "How do you know who we are?" Uriah asks. "Have I met you before?" He asks with a cheeky smile. His relaxed demeanour makes me feel more at ease, but something just feels... off. Wrong. I swallow hard as my mind races furiously to try and think of something to say. I don't want to leave him hanging. But the silence has stretched out now - there's an awkward feel in the air. Everyone looks nervously at each other - at me, who hasn't replied to Uriah's question. I can't take it anymore and I back away slowly, carefully.

"Casey?" Tris looks at me, apprehensive. "What's wrong?"

"I..." The words aren't coming. I turn and race into the dining room of Uriah's apartment, slamming the door behind me. There are hurried murmurs coming from the other room, before they stop abruptly and the door swings open. "Casey?" Tris asks, standing in the doorway. She closes the door behind her softly. "Is there something wrong?"

"I can't do this!" I burst out. "You guys have been so nice and amazing but... I'm just not good at this."

"What?" She questions. I gesture around me helplessly. "All of... this. I'm not anyone special. I'm just this teenage girl who's obsessed with Divergent. I'm not funny. I'm not pretty. And when I'm with you guys... I'm not anyone special," I repeat. "I can't do this."

"Casey, we don't bite," Tris says in a surprisingly gentle voice. "I know this must be hard for you... it's hard for me too; for someone to come in and know my entire life story and my most private thoughts." She swallows hard. "I'm not holding that against you... just... okay, I'm getting off topic. Point is, it doesn't matter. I'm sure you're an amazing girl and I'm sure we'll become great friends." She gives me a hopeful smile. "You okay?"

Tris Prior is comforting me while I sit on the floor bawling my eyes out. Well, maybe not bawling, but sitting in the corner being sad. Ugh. This is so embarrassing. But I force myself to meet her eyes and grin. "Thanks."

"Do you want to come back in now?"

"Yeah. Yeah - sure. And Tris..."

She looks back, her gray-blue eyes questioning. "I'm sorry."

Tris gives me a soft smile. "It's fine. As I said - as hard as this is for me, I'm sure it must be ten times harder for you. I still have a life here, regardless of whether or not it's a book. And you... I don't know where you came from but we'll do our absolute best to get you back, okay?"

"Yeah. Thank you."

Tris squeezes my hand encouragingly, before leading me to the door. She stops before it and beams at me. "Now, take two. Come and meet my friends. Well... in person."

I push open the door and the idle conversations stop immediately. "What-" Uriah begins. But with Tris' words of encouragement ringing in my head, I exhale and walk up to Uriah. "Hey," I begin, grinning. I try to recall the questions he asked me. "Yes, I know your name; No, I've never met you before; And how... well, it's kind of a long story." Uriah's eyes widen. "Hey guys! She can talk!" He says comically, waving his hands around excitedly.

I can't help but roll my eyes. "For your information, I talked when I told you guys your names," I raise an eyebrow. Uriah narrows his own. "Oh, it's on. What's your name again?" I'm feeling better and more comfortable already. This is the Uriah I know - the merry, lively, carefree boy from the books.

"Casey," I answer him and give everyone a half-smile. "And now you're about to figure out why I know your names. Can we sit down?" I direct my question at Tris. "This is gonna take a while."

I can tell Uriah's bursting to say something but he waits - albeit impatiently - until I finish my story to say it.

"THIS IS SO COOL! AND CREEPY! I mean like, Marlene and I were together in the books?"

"Um, yeah..." I say, confused. "Aren't you together now?"

As if on cue, Uriah and Marlene pull identical expressions of disgust, before turning to look at each other. "HIM?" Marlene yelps as Uriah pulls a face. "HER?" And then simultaneously: "EWWWWWWWW!"

"Then..." I draw it out, hoping someone will relieve my confusion. Tobias jumps in. "Marlene's with Matthew," he says with an amused grin. I make the "Ohh" face, now matching a name to the dark-skinned boy who's next to Marlene. I wave at him and he grins back. Tobias continues. "Uriah's-"

"A SINGLE PRINGLE!" Uriah yells. "AND READY TO MINGLE!" He gives me an such an over-exaggerated wink which is so comical that I can't help but burst into laughter. "YES!" Uriah pumps his fist up and down. "She laughs at my jokes!" His accent turns into that of a stereotypical teenage girl. "Hoor-ay, for Cas-ay!"

I roll my eyes exaggeratedly. "Uriah, you can stop now."

"Yes, ma'am." He gives us a flourishing bow and smiles again - that addictive smile he keeps pulling out that's full of enthusiasm and vigor. It gives me this feeling of happiness. Wait... what?

Matthew grins at me and holds out his hand. "Nice to meet you," he says, shaking it and smiling at me. "You as well," I reply. I've barely known him ten minutes, yet I kind of like him. He has this goofy air about him that's similar to Uriah's, though he there's a hint of something serious in his expression. I wonder why.

After patiently waiting through our banter, Christina finally gets a chance to ask a question. She smiles at me hesitantly. "Hi... Casey. So you're saying you know us?"

"Well... yeah," I say. I amend myself immediately with a grin. "Sorry, that was kind of a lame answer. Basically, I have no idea what happened, but from where I come from, all of this-" I gesture around me - "is a book. As I said before, you're all characters of this series - Divergent. It's by someone called Veronica Roth." I pause, waiting to see if they recognize the name. No one reacts openly, though Will and Matthew suddenly have thoughtful expressions upon their faces. Shauna notices too, and questions it.

"Something wrong, guys?"

"I can't help but feel like I've..." Will trails off. Matthew finishes for him. "Heard that before..."

"You guys are both from Erudite," Zeke muses. "Was it something you heard there?" Oh, interesting. Matthew's from Erudite.

"Maybe," Will answers. His celery green eyes are bright and his eyebrows are furrowed in a focused expression. "I'm not totally sure."

"Okay. We'll come back to that later," Tris nods. She looks at me. "Can you tell us what exactly happened in the series?" Now this is something I can talk about.

"First book is Tris' initiation. She leaves Abnegation, goes to Dauntless, doesn't do too well in physical training but Four helps her, then Capture the Flag, simulations, Tris is umm...di..." I trail off and cast a questioning look at Tris. She gives me an almost imperceptible shake of her head. I change my sentence. "Tris is, uh, first. Initiation ends, but then that night the Dauntless are all injected with a control serum. Later, the serum, which is controlled by the Erudite, forces the entire faction to march upon Abnegation and shoot everyone dead. Tris shoots Will dead in self-defense, though she regrets it very deeply afterward. That's basically the war." Tobias makes a small noise of understanding, now knowing what war I was referring to earlier. Will unconsciously massages his throat when I mention that he died. Everyone is too stunned to even speak, but I keep going.

"Second book, there's a lot of rebellion. Everyone goes to Amity to stay there, because Erudite is now waging outright war to have control of the government. Later, when Four and Tris visit the factionless, we learn that the leader of the factionless, Evelyn Johnson, is Four's mom. Later, Tris and Four travel to Candor, where they're immediately arrested and subjected to truth serum. Christina learns that Tris killed Will and she's angry at her. We learn that Uriah is... um..." I nod at Tris, mouthing "Divergent". Her eyes widen and flit to Uriah's guarded expression, then back to me. I continue. "Four kills Eric-"

"YEAH!" Comes a shout. I turn. Uriah shrinks back, covering his grin with both hands. "Uh, sorry. Please continue."

I roll my eyes and finish explaining how Tris gave herself up to the Erudite for testing, Peter saved her, and later she, Marcus, and Christina broke into Erudite to try and find information. I finish quickly - Tori killed Jeanine, the factionless took over, and the video was played about their home being a sealed city.

Silence. With a sigh, I delve into explaining Allegiant slightly unwillingly, not wanting to stun everyone even more than I already have. When I reach the part about Tris dying, there are tears and waves of emotion rolling off of everyone. Tobias' expression is frosty - his eyes cold and stony. His grip noticeably tightens on Tris' hands.

When I finish, it's utterly silent for a few minutes. Zeke speaks first, his voice shaky. "Well, that's certainly not what happened here."

"I know, I can tell." My answer has a little bit of sarcasm injected into it, and I immediately feel terrible. I shouldn't be sarcastic. Not after the shock of what they're hearing has just sunk in. "I'd really like it if you could explain," I say quietly, not expecting a response.

Uriah manages a weak grin. "Um, yeah. Zeke and I can. Give everyone else a little more time to comprehend your story," he manages a laugh.

I nod. "I'd like that." He beams, and that feeling rises up within me again. What is going on?

"Okay." Zeke sighs. "Where do I begin?"

Mmhmm. I brought Matthew in. He's my OC from my other Divergent story, Life of Ten. Go check that story out if you want :D And for all the Urlene shippers, I'm really sorry, but it was necessary. ;) Okay. Thank you so much for reading! If I take such a long time to update again (I seem to do that a lot, but not so much with Life of Ten. Weird.), you make sure to remind me, okay? See you guys later!
