Chapter three: Narrator pov
The room was full of loud noises. The Prior family were horrified at Beatrice's death. Caleb realized that he would soon be the only Prior left. Meanwhile all the leaders left to talk about the book pages.
"What should we do?" Asks Marcus. "We can't let all these dauntless die. In case you guys didn't notice, Most dauntless and Abnegation died. No Erudite, Condor, or Amity." Max says. "Are you kidding me! Eric and I die!" Jeanie yells. "Peace." Johanna says. "And of course you would say that." Eric snorts. "Must I remind you that you are the youngest here Eric. We have more authority here." Johanna says kindly pointing to the other leaders. "I will not be out spoken, I am a leader of Dauntless if you like it or not." We know that kid. But Johanna has a point." Max smiles kindly. "Let the kid speak if he wishes." Marcus says. "I am not a kid." Eric snarls.
"You just admitted that you, yourself is younger than us. So yes you are a child." The other the other Erudite leader explains. "We have not gathered here for facts Erudite!" Snarls Eric. "Why you-" Jeanie narrows her eyes. "Guys. Must I tell you this again. We have not gathered here to fight. Now, lets get down to business. All the factions are out there. If we leave them alone for two long.." Marcus trails off. "Marcus is right. I say we keep the girl." Johanna says. "The girl seems important." Jeanie thinks out loud. "She is divergent though." Whispers a condor leader. "I know. But did you listen to the pages. She is important." Marcus replies. "I say we kill her." Eric snarls. He was ignored. Suddenly you could here loud yelling from outside. The leaders shared a look. "For now, Beatrice stays. Its final." Marcus says as he leads the other leaders out to the other factions.
When they got into the other room they were shocked. People were yelling and screaming. The Dauntless were with the Abnegation. The Erudite were yelling at the Abnegation. The Candor were yelling at Amity who were trying to get everyone to settle down. They were also in the middle of yelling back at Candor. Nope, not that peaceful at the moment. "Quiet everyone!" Marcus booms. "We have decided have few things." Jeanie starts. Everyone stares.
"For one, Beatrice. We will let you live. For now." Marcus whispers the last part. "Two, We have no idea if these pages are real or not. But we will make sure that this is a safe place. What is beyond the fence is not safe!" Jeanie lies. They had not talked about the fact if the pages were real or not. But the leaders needed to convince the factions that the outside world is not safe. Hush whispers were heard among the crowd. "And what have you decided to do about the people who have or will die?" Beatrice decided to speak up. The leaders share a look. "That has not yet been decided." The condor leader says.
Abruptly a blue light filled the room. "What is it about lights!" Yelled Jeanie. "That is none of your concern Jeanie." Hissed a boy stepping out of the light. "Caleb?" A small voice asked. The older version of Caleb looked around. His eyes landed on his dead sister. "Beatrice." He whispered. Beatrice ran to hug her brother. "I missed you." He whispers into her hair. Beatrice stiffened at the talk about her soon to be death. Older Caleb turns to Jeanie. "You should not lie to the factions Jeanie. The outside is as safe as the inside. The only difference is that you know what's on the inside and you know how to face it. On the outside, you have no idea what to expect. You don't know how to deal with the outside. But over all the outside is as safe as the inside." Jeanie was left speech less.
"You have grown Up Caleb." Natalie smiled at her older version of her son. "Mom. I am so sorry." Older Caleb had tears in his eyes. "Shhh. It's okay, you didn't do anything yet." Natalie soothed her son. Younger Caleb looked at his older self. What happened to him? Oh that's right, he left his family to move on to Erudite then let his family die. He thought bitterly. "Dad." older Caleb looked at Andrew Prior. "Son." "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to leave you." Yes, Andrew was mad that his son and daughter, left or will leave the faction, but he knew that since the pages arrived and he learned about the deaths that it was no time to hold a grudge. "It's okay son. I know you didn't mean to. You were just doing what would help you be more succesful. The other factions watched the family sadly. Knowing that each one but Caleb would die.
"Anyways, I came here to tell you something." Caleb started after wiping away the tears. "Yes?" Marcus asked the boy. "These pages are real. And I decided to help you guys out. Christina, and Tobias were busy mourning their loved ones. You see, both were very close to Tris, or as you know her Beatrice. You guys look at her now and think that no way could she kill. No way could she pass the intention. But your wrong, I was wrong." Caleb trails off. I have no more pages to show you guys because as the Etrudite know, knowledge of the future can be a burden." Everyone in Etrudite nods. "I am here to simply warn you. You must change your ways, we have not shown you these pages just to let you know who dies in the future. No, Christina, Tobias and myself have shown you these pages so you can change the future. So you can prevent deaths that weren't meant to happen! By the end of his speech Caleb was shouting. "If only you guys would stop fighting. Yes, the Faction leaders have made HUGE mistakes, but they can be corrected." He ends. Next he turns to his family. "Good bye, I love you." With that Caleb walks in to a new swirl of blue light and disappears.
