Chapter 36
Unknown's PoV
"Who am I? And who are you? And where are we? And-" The person in front of me cuts me off. "Wait up with all the questions. You are in a infirmary. I am James, one of your friends. You just took a memory serum, so you don't remember anything. Your old self told me to give you this." The person – I forgot his name – hands me a paper. I open it.
Dear me,
I am Pierce Ellis Elias, Pee for short. You don't want to tell that to anyone, so they won't use it as a nickname.
We live in a city with five factions. Candor, Amity, Erudite, Dauntless, and Abnegation. Candor is for the honest, Amity for the friendly, Erudite for the smart, Dauntless for the brave, and Abnegation for the selfless.
When you are sixteen you choose a faction to stay in. This happens through a ceremony. Once you have chosen, initiation begins. If you fail initiation, you become factionless.
I was born in Erudite, With my parents Barney and Kate Elias and my older brother Leonidas. I transferred to Dauntless when I was sixteen, together with my friend Christopher, who has also lost his memory. Leonidas transferred three years ago to Candor.
I didn't have a good youth, and I don't want to remember that, so I didn't write it down.
The person sitting in front of me – James – saved my life today. He was the one who set me up with the memory serum.
I am currently busy with the Dauntless initiation. If I stay like this I'll be factionless.
And that's it, basically. Any questions from before initiation can only be answered by my parents or brother.
*End of note*
Interesting.
My life just got explained to me.
"Thank you," – I look down to look at his name – "James, for everything." He smiles. "For the vial and – might I add – saving my life." I say. "Thank you." He says.
"Four and Six are here, should I let them in?" A nurse asks. James nods. "Who are they?" I ask him. "Our instructors." James says. I nod. Seconds later a tall guy and a smaller woman come in. The smaller woman looks like she's been crying.
"Hello Sir and Ma'am. How can I help you?" I ask them. "Hello Pierce. We just came here to check on you. And you can call us Four and Six." I look around the room, looking for who they're talking to, before I realize it's me. "Who is Four and who is Six?" I then proceed to ask them. They smile. "I'm Six." The woman – whom I now know as Six – says.
"Why have you been crying?" I ask her. "Before you lost your memory you were about to commit suicide in the same way one of my best friends did." She answers. Four puts his arm around the waist of Six. "Are you two together?" I ask, curious. They nod. "Fiancées." Four answers, while Six shows her ring. I look at it. it has some sort of blue stones in it. "Cool!" I reply. They smile. "When can I get out of this said hospital?" I ask James. "Whenever the hell you like." He answers. I get up. "I guess I'll be going then." I say. Everyone gets up and we walk out of the hospital. I say goodbye to the lady behind the desk – who knows why she's there – and James guides me to some sort of eating room. A gigantic one. "Want to sit with us?" James asks me. I nod. We walk over to said 'us.' 'Us' appears to be a groups of five people. We sit down. "Everyone, meet Pierce 2.0" James says. The five people look at me. "Hello." I say to them. Why are they staring at me?
"Pierce, this is Blue, Rachel, Shine, Yasmin, and Christopher." He points at people as he says their names. "Hello." They say. "These are all fellow initiates." He adds. "Is this Christopher the one that had his memory erased?" I ask. Christopher nods. "You were the one that told me about my life after I lost my memory." He says. I nod and we begin to eat.
As I'm eating I look at everyone at our table. Rachel's hot man, but she keeps staring at me. I decide to ask. "Well, your old self kinda helped his old self" She says pointing to Christopher "And one of you old self's friends to rape me." "What?! Gross! I mean, not that you're gross, you're actually kinda hot, but I would never rape someone!" She blushes a bit at my compliment. "What do you say me and James give you a tour of the place?" The other guy that isn't James or Christopher asks. "Sure! What's your name again?" I ask him. He smiles. "Blue."
We finish dinner and walk around the place. It looks like a cave! They see me watching with an open mouth in the place that is called 'The Pit.' They smile. "Amazing, huh?" James says. I nod, unable to speak. Blue laughs. They guide me to the sleeping place.
"This is your bed!" They say pointing at a random bed. "Ew! It smells!" I shriek. They laugh. "Then wash it!" "I don't know how!" James shows me. When we're done it smells like lavender. "Much better." I say. They smile. I can feel this is a fun place.
I probably won't be uploading until Monday the 12th of May because I'll be in Rome. Sorry!
But in the meantime REVIEW!
