Her father had her pinned against a wall and was punching her. She screamed at him, and that was when I noticed she was chained to the wall.
She closed her eyes and pulled on her hands. The chains snapped. She ran for the door – which was unlocked – and ran from the room.
Next fear.
She fell from the top of a building. And kept falling. No matter how long she fell, the ground was still the same length away. She looked around for a way to escape her fate and jumped through the window.
Then she was at her Choosing ceremony. She was about to choose, when suddenly a buzzer rang. "Sorry! Time's up! You're factionless!"
She collapsed on the floor. "Wait! I didn't choose yet!"
"Too bad." The person said calmly. "You're factionless."
She punched the person, and the room collapsed.
She was running from something. I peered at the screen, and I could make out a huge tarantula. I shivered.
She jumped into a river, and the tarantula hissed and spat at her. Then she was drowning in the river.
Two more fears… her family didn't know her/hated her, and… the last one.
"Come on, Linda." Simulation Jack was pleading. "Don't do this to me… join Fortitude." He put his hands around her waist and looked deep into her eyes. "I understand why you had to pretend to be factionless… but you can really be a part of this. We can start dating. You can have fun in the faction you belong in. You know what your test results were, Linda. Join me." He leaned his head in for a kiss, and Linda backed away. Simulation Jack's eyes flamed and he pulled out a gun. "You're the reason for this, Linda. You could have changed everything."
She screamed as he shot the gun and fell to the floor as her chest pumped with the bullet wound.
I turned to her, just to see that she wasn't breathing.
