Chapter 14
Previously:
"Thank-you for your honesty."
"Thank-you for your honesty." The crowd whispers throughout the room.
Now:
I see the guards take my father back to his holding cell, then they bring in Jeanine Matthews. Out of the corner of my eye I see a flash of blue sit next to me. I turn fully to see who it is: Caleb. He wasn't here for dad's trial, so why would he be here for Jeanine's? Is he on her side? Then Niles comes in and injects Jeanine with the truth serum.
"What is your name?"
"Jeanine Matthews."
"Correct me if I'm wrong: You're Erudite born and you stayed Erudite?"
"Correct."
"Good. Now tell me what happened on the day of your Choosing Ceremony?"
"I rode the bus to the ceremony, when I got there I saw my boyfriend and we got into an argument about something I don't remember. Then I stomped away mad. When his name was called and he dropped his blood in the Abnegation bowl, he left. I, of course, stayed in Erudite. He left. He left me. We had our whole lives planed out, what we were going to do after initiation, everything."You could see the hatred in her eyes, you could also see the pain.
"After your initiation what'd you do?"
"I heard he was getting an arranged marriage to a girl name Natalie Wright. So, like any Erudite, I researched her. She was a transfer from Dauntless that year. There was issues with her Aptitude Test, which could only mean one thing: she was Divergent." Everyone in the room gasps, except Tobias and I.
She continued, "From that day forward I was determined to research and destroy every Divergent. They are a threat to society, they will reunion our society."
"Tell me, what is a Divergent?"
"People who are Divergent have more than one Faction on their Aptitude Test. Their minds don't conform to one way of thinking, other than that they aren't any different than us."
"Now we going to skip a few years to when Beatrice Prior and Caleb Prior transferred to Abnegation."
"Okay."
"When did you start seeing Andrew Prior again?"
"About a week after his children left. He called me saying he needed to talk to me. So we meet and he asked how Caleb was doing. I told him that Caleb reminded me of him. Always thriving to know knowledge, how everything worked or how our society was before the Purity War."
"Did anything seem different about Andrew Prior?"
"No. We meet again a week later and started to make love after he told me he'd been beating his wife. He told me it was her fault that their children left, I believed him because who would transfer from Abnegation to Dauntless, without their parent knowing."Me.
"Anything after that?"
"We met in secret almost every night after that until Visiting Day, when he came to Erudite to see me while his wife was in Dauntless visiting their daughter."
"Last question, what is your deepest regret?"
"Seeing Andrew before the Choosing Ceremony, maybe he wouldn't switched."Then I wouldn't have been born or met Tobias.
There you go! Please review and all that stuff.
