I do not own Divergent, I wish I did, though. I mean, I'd have like a billion dollars or something. But no... It all belongs to Miss Veronica Roth.

EMMA'S POINT OF VIEW:
I began to hypervenalate as we raced down to the basement. I felt an anxiety attack going on. My breathing was very heavy, and I knew that I had gone as pale as death.
You see, my greatest fear ever was this: storms. Not the little ones, but the big ones. Severe storm ones. It is my greatest nightmare. Tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions- you name it. Anything that might harm humanity from some sort of big storm is something I fear.
My Dad put his arm around me, and I buried my head into his chest.
"Does she have Lilasophobia?" Uncle Caleb asked my Mom and twin brother.
"Yes. She has always been." Mom said softly.
I felt tears threaten to fall out of my tear-ducts when I heard the wind blow. I heard it howling; it was howling almost like a werewolf would on a full moon in stories. Thunder- huge claps of thunder- could be heard from where I was, still burried in my Dad's chest.
"Mommy when will it be over?" I asked her, worried.
"I don't know, honey..."
"Hey, look at the bright side! There's a chance you might not go on that date with Jason tomorrow!" Dylan smiled.
I looked up at him and glared at him, and he put his hands up in surrender.
"Hey, listen- it seems like the wind has stopped..." Christina pointed out.
So, Uncle Caleb and Dad went up to check.
"YOU CAN COME ON UP!" One of them had exclaimed.
So, that's what we did. I climbed the steps, still shaking.
I looked around when we got upstairs, and I gasped with shock. Tears pricked my eyes once again.
It was destroyed. Everything was destroyed. There was people's belongings randomly places from being picked up by the wind. The walls of our house were no longer existent, and I only saw one house that was actually standing, though it's windows were broken and it's front door was torn off.
It was Jason's house. His house was the only one that was left standing.
I suddenly felt all alone when the others went to go inspect the damage that has been brought on by this storm.
What made me feel worse was that it was sunny outside; birds were chirping like nothing had happened at all.
I could see the city of Chicago in the distance. Since this house is in the suburbs of the city it was easy for me to see it.
It seemed that nothing there was ruined in the slightest. In fact, it seemed that there was only damage in this area.
Just my luck.
I vaguely remembered what had happened when I was younger, and what had made me have this huge and irrational fear.
It was something that I never wanted to relive again.
