I SAW THE TRAILER FOR 50 SHADES OF GRAY AND IT WAS SO WEIRD! I COULDN'T SKIP IT ON THE TV! AHHHHHH!
PETER'S POV
I woke up and rolled out of my bed. My muscles ached and my eyes burned. I looked in the mirror, my hair was sticking up and my eyes were red. I opened the dresser in my room, which was full of blue clothes. I pulled out two random things and put them on. I went over to Isobel's room across the hall and knocked on the door.
"Hey, Peter," said Isobel as she opened the door. She was wearing blue clothes but her hair was flying everywhere. "You can come in," she stepped out of the doorway. I walked in and sat on her unmade bed she began brushing her hair.
"So, we're working for Erudite now," I said.
"We can screw up their plans somehow. OW!" she said as she got through a knot in her hair.
"What can you do that won't get you sister killed?" I asked her.
"I don't have a plan. I'll figure it out," she said.
I stood up and got closer to her. This was the first time that we could talk alone in a while. "Isobel, both of us are Divergent," I whispered. "What would happen if Jeanine found out?"
I remembered having Eric catch me awake during the simulation and telling me that he would kill my family if I didn't protect the control room. But Tris shot me and I had to make the decision to be controlled by the Erudite and be a coward or be brave and defy them.
Then, I remembered Isobel sobbing that she was awake during the simulation and that she saw children die. It was the only time that I'd ever seen her cry.
"She'll kill us, or experiment on us," she whispered back. "I'm trying not to worry about it but I am."
"What's Jeanine even planning?" I asked.
"Something about 'destroying the Divergents' from what I've heard from Stella," she said, finishing her braid in her hair. "We should probably go now. Wouldn't want to be late to get our assignments or whatever."
We walked out of the room and met Stella and her Erudite friends. We all walked down to the main entrance where we met Jeanine last night. A guard was waiting there.
"New people?" asked the man. We all nodded. "Well any scientists among you, go to room 243 and we need guards at the serum storage room right now. That's room 147. Also, guards need to get a jacket showing your allegiance to Erudite. I'll send someone."
Allegiance? Yeah right. We parted to our separate places, Isobel and I walked down a long, dimly lit hallway to a room on the end.
"I wonder where my other sisters are," whispered Isobel.
"I wonder how Nadia is," I whispered back to her. "Eric said that he would kill her if I didn't protect the simulation room."
"Yeah, well Eric probably going to be at Candor any time soon. He's got people to kill, lives to destroy, the usual," she said without laughing.
"How would Jeanine kill all the Divergents?" I asked.
"Well, in the past, in Dauntless at least, they made it look like an accident that someone died. People 'fell' into the Chasm or got shot by a 'drunk'." she said, glaring at the ground.
Shot by a drunk. I remembered that Isobel had told me that her parents were killed by some drunk person.
"What kind of drunk person has perfect aim?" I remembered her saying.
"Wait, were your parents Divergent?" I whispered.
"I think that they were, I mean, how would all of my sisters and I have gone to all five Factions? It wouldn't have been genetically possible if they weren't."
"I wonder how it happens," I said, my Erudite curiosity kicking in.
"I don't know. But It must have to do with genetics or the Faction that you were brought up in. I'm pretty sure Abnegation would have the most Divergent's because you need to be brave to be selfless and you also can't be mean to people in Abnegation. Amity probably has the least, because they're completely different from all the other Factions, they have none of the traits of any other Factions."
"Well, you've clearly been thinking about this a lot."
"I don't know... it's sort of fascinating how our minds work."
We both stopped talking when someone came with two black jackets with a blue band around the arm.
"These are mandatory to wear while you are on duty," said the guard, then walked away.
We stood there for about an hour and a half, which was pretty uneventful until we were given a break.
Isobel and I walked to my room. I sat down while Isobel looked out the window.
"What do you think they're doing? Stella and the other, I mean," said Isobel as she opened the window.
"Somehow plotting to destroy Divergents," I said.
"I wouldn't be surprised if Stella got herself killed already, I could imagine her trying to bite Jeanine or something and some guard shooting her," she said and let out a short laugh. "It's not like I'm any better, though."
"Yeah, you might want to keep some of your thoughts about Jeanine to yourself."
Isobel went over to the book shelf and pulled out a book on serums. She flipped through the pages, knitting her eyebrows. I walked over and looked over her shoulder.
Paralytic one of them read. Fear Simulation another read.
"There are so many of them. There was even a memory erasing serum," she said. "Erudite could do so much damage."
We heard a knock on the door, I got up and opened the door and saw Stella standing there.
"Is Isobel in there?" she asked.
"Yeah, come in," I said. Stella stepped in and walked over to Isobel who was looking up from her book.
"What are you guys doing with Jeanine?" Isobel asked Stella.
"She's making us create some kind of terror serum or something. It makes you see your worst nightmares. Basically, it's the Fear Landscape serum, but you aren't aware during it," she explained. "Some kind of torture thing. It's supposed to work on Divergent's, too."
"Did you do anything to bother Jeanine?' asked Isobel.
"I kept adding to much or too little of the ingredients and 'accidentally' knocking over chemicals. I don't think that super concentrated hydrochloric acid was the best thing to knock over, though," she said and held out her hand. There was a patch of skin that was raw, red and bleeding a little.
"Very smart, Erudite," I said to Stella. She glared at me.
"I might 'accidentally' spill hydrochloric acid on you if you're not careful," said Stella, seeming like she was only half joking.
"Okay, so back on topic. What do you think Jeanine would do with the terror serum?" asked Isobel.
"Probably to get answers about where Abnegation are hiding or about other things," I said.
"Jeanine also said that she was going to experiment on Divergent's," said Stella. "Once she could get her hands on them," she said, smiling evilly and tapping her fingers together.
SORRY THIS CHAPTER WAS SORT OF BORING! BUT I'LL TRY AND MAKE THE OTHER ONES LESS BORING! BUT I CAN'T PROMISE IT, BECAUSE INSURGENT ALSO HAS A PRETTY SLOW START! REVIEWS PLEASE! STAY PIEFACEINGLY!
