A/N sorry for not updating in a while been trying to keep it to updating every week but i've been really busy! sorry to all readers waiting for an update I'll try to get another chapter up soon! dont forget to R&R!
"Where's the truth in this" I whisper to myself, looking at the computer screen where several copies of other videos are saved, my eyes focus on different documents like 'Faction government system' or '.Divergents.'
"Shhh, it's ok, it'll all work out eventually." Tobias whispers to me, and I bury my face in the crook of his neck.
"What if the video dosen't work, what if everyone goes crazy and whoever Emily or Edith or whoever, what if all they worked for was gone, the whole society,because we watched the video..and learned the truth...and all those other videos..." I almost start hyperventilating at my idea of the worst case scenario.
"Nobody is going to go crazy, when the screens go on again, and you tell them more about whats on Jeanine's computer, they'll realize there fighting for nothing and that there is something outsie of all the factions." Tobias's words calm me and I know I'm freaking out for nothing.
"Will you be on the camera with me?" I ask him nervously.
"Of course" He says, and leans down to kiss me, I don't care about Caleb being a traitor and then apologizing, or that I'll have to talk to thousands of people through the screens in every faction to tell them to stop fighting. I even momentarily forget the floors beneath us, Erudite, Dauntless and Factionless are fighting. But reality comes back and I sigh breaking away.
"Lets so this" I say jumping from foot to foot like how one might do before a run.
"OK Tris, we've got control of all the screens-in every faction we better do this quick-the surveillance cameras only show things getting worse-if the cameras are even still up..." Caleb tells me nervously, and I walk in front of a camera thats set up, and hold Tobias's hand tight, take a deep breath and start talking,hopefully loud enough and startling enough for everyone to pay attention.
"Everyone, STOP fighting! Look at yourselves, fighting against your friends, family, your own factions! The video startled us all about the truth, that there's a world outside our own, that the factions, our society is a big experiment. But whatever government created this society had a reason, and that gives you no reason to overreact and fight against everyone! After searching Jeanine's computer, we have found more video files, and that for some reason Divergents are the key." Great, now I sound like some crazy Erudite, at least everyone wouls stop fighting now. " In fact here is one now, Caleb" I say and one look to him I know he understands me, our sibling bond I guess, and the screen I was just watching myself and Tobias on is now filled with Amanda/Edith again and she is talking in what seems to be the same room as before.
"Hello again, as before I am here to tell you more about the society's begining and purpose. I am part of the JPO, the Justice and Peace Organization, we are fighting to bring humanity back from the chaos it's caused. You are the society we have created to recreate humanity in a better way, where people feel as if they belong, so peace can return, and then you will rejoin with us to create a better world!"
Amanda beams her wide smile and continues. " Your Society is not an experiment, it is something much bigger, your society is the key to bring peace and prosperity back, to stop the wars and repare the scars left on Earth." Suddenly it'a not Amanda we are looking at, but destroyed buildings and fires, bombed cities and polluted rivers, when Amanda is back on screen, she is not smiling anymore "As you see humanity has turned away from working together, but this is where you will come in. Among you as you may know are the Divergent, only the government officials should know about them, until there are so many the secret cannot be kept. Divergents are not to be harmed or captured because they are different, they are different in an extraordinary way, their minds are flexible enough to find problems in a situation and resolve them quickly and efficiently, they are also the ones who may be able to withstand the power of stimulation's, and resist them, or the simulations will have no effect at all. The 'Divergent' among you will have multiple traits, instead of being only one faction for example a common Divergence is to have an aptitude for being honest, and peaceful, or peaceful and selfless. The aptitudes of Divergents vary but are all different from one another. The Diveregent is important towards our organization because they have the aptitude for the most important trait, being a leader. The Divergent can take charge and have amazing control of themselves, one of the things that make them immune to stimulations, even the ones we have developped. She smiles and looks away from the camera, as if someone is telling her something, she continues more rushed now. "I'm sorry to cut this short but the Divergents are needed amoung our government system, people who have a naturel sense of leadership, and flexibillity. My name is Amanda and I will make another video for the public, this video should only be accessed by the highest in the society's government. When the first video is released to the public other marked videos should be released, the instructions in the Erudite's folder" She pauses and smiles before continuing, "I wish the society luck in becoming peaceful and bring humanity back to its former glory, no wars and everyone treated equally"
The video ended and the room was silent, on the screen Tobias and I were back standing stiffly, but I was to shocked to speak, still gripping Tobias's hand tightly. Luckly Tobias recovered before me and talked confidently to the camera.
"As you can see the...JPO is obviously there for the greater good, and the Faction's plan to kill all the Divergent was a bad idea, it seems as though this society exists to create Divergent. Us fighting each other dosn't change anything, we have to stop living in denial to the truth, behind the fence, out there..." he pauses and looks at me then motions for me to continue, I know where its going anyway.
"Out there is wars, like what the Erudite did to the Abnegation." I take a deep breath and continue sounding more in control then I felt, "We aren't supposed to fight each other we are supposed to be a peaceful society, be even we have drifted far away from perfect. The factions, and the factionless, must now work together to get things worked out..." I trail off because I am not an elected Dauntless leader, and technically I'm supposed to be under arrest right now.
"Everyone should return to their factions, the Abnegation is where the factionless can go, and then every faction should elect a few representatives to meet here, at the Erudite Headquarters, where we will release the other videos, whether they are meant for the public or just the government." Tobias says and he holds his head a little higher and speaks clearly, continuing, "It's time for us to organize ourselves and decide what to do next."
The screen turns black while Caleb types in commands to the computer. "Well I think that worked...really well." Caleb says, "Look at this the surveillance footage, everyone stopped fighting and...wow maybe things will go back to normal..."
Tobias and I walk over to Caleb and all the surveillance stuff, its true everyone seems to be either standing there in shock, or heading to dormitories in the factions.
"Caleb, you know things can never go back to normal...after all that, with the knowledge of a world behind the fence, things can never be the same." I say silently, and I'm a little depressed, Before the Erudite attacked, I was hoping to celebrate being Dauntless more, I was looking forward to a normal life. But now, I'm to curious to know whats behind the fence.
