I try to ask the woman questions, but she doesn't answer any. She doesn't tell me what's going on. She only tells me: "My mission is to keep you safe. And in order to keep you safe, we need to go to Dauntless. That's the only way."
"Why? Tell me! What did those men want? Who sent them? Answer me! I left my family behind because of you!" My voice broke in the end. My eyes are blurry, but I don't cry. I need to be strong. I don't want anyone to see me cry. The woman keeps staring at me. I know I'm not acting very Abnegation, but I don't care. I want answers. After a few seconds, she sighs, but tells me
"I'm sorry this happened to you." She looks really sorry for me.
"This? I don't even know what this is!"
"You'll find out soon enough," is all she says. Then, she turns her head into the other direction, turning her back to me. I take deep breaths and try to calm down. I tell myself that they won't tell me anything if they thought I was weak and hysterical. I need to keep calm and keep myself busy. So, I play with my hair. It has grew since the last time my mother cut it. She was supposed to cut it tomorrow, but I guess that won't happen.
The woman gets up and then says we need to jump. She said that no matter what, I should take a few steps and jump as far as I can. I can see why. If I don't, I will fall and die. We are jumping on the roof of a building. She goes first and I follow her. I am in the air for a short second before my feet hit the ground hard. I don't fall, though. I stay on my feet and so does the woman. I see a few Dauntless people run through the door, coming to us.
All of them are boys. Few of them are older and some of them should be the same age. Then an older man walks through the doors. He looks pleased to look at me, although I wonder why.
"Tori," the man says. "Any news?"
"They attacked just as we suspected. But they called Caleb Prior too. He can't be... Is it possible we were wrong, Max?" the woman says, but trails off.
"No, no. They just wanted him to make her feel bad. It's her they wanted."
"What are you talking about?" I say as calmly as I can. The man smiles, but does not look at me.
"Just as we suspected." he said. What? I don't understand what's going on.
"I want you to answer me." As I say that, he turns to me and says
"Be careful, Beatrice. You should really act more like Abnegation if you want to survive."
"What are you talking about?" I ask again, but he turns around. I take a few steps toward him and grab his hand. He turns around and smiles. Then he leans down and whispers into my ear
"You're Divergent."
