Milwaukee, MI: 20 years later

by veryoddparents

This story is the point of view of Peter's daughter. When Elizabeth takes her aptitude test, she finds out she's Divergent (What kind of story would it be if she wasn't?). When she gets home, she finds out the dauntless leader has shot her dad for trespassing. He leaves her a box filled with items from his past, in hopes she will find out his secret and his past and escape the city

6. Chapter 6

I decide to start with the rock. I start to examine it, and I realize it says "Rock from the Chasm" on it. I hope all of these objects have labels like that, because none of them are self-explanatory. I wonder what the Chasm is, I'll look up the word on the dictionary later. Now for the piece of coal, but I already know what this is, it's from the faction bowls, did he steal it? The coals represent Dauntless, but he told us that he came from Candor….was that why he went to their compound? I move on to the empty vial, on the side it says "Memory Serum". Did he drink this? It's all a big mystery. The shirt is clearly made for a female Abnegation, so it can't be his, it says "Tris making a stand" on it. Who's Tris?

So the possible story behind all of this is that my dad was born in Candor, he chose Dauntless, drank the memory serum, and then came to Erudite. That is really complicated. Maybe the photos will explain something.

The first is of him when he was around 18 with another man named Four, as it's labeled. The second is of a girl, who can' be more than 16 lying dead on a table, she has short, blonde hair and is wearing a grey shirt with black pants. I thought no one was allowed to mix clothing. But since she's wearing a grey shirt, the one my dad kept is probably hers, and her name is probably Tris. The third one is a roaring river that could probably kill you if you jumped into it. I think now's the time to look up "chasm".

According to the dictionary "chasm" means: deep hole in earth: a deep crack or hole in the ground. That river was definitely a chasm, and the rock is probably from that. The next picture is a group picture of him, Tris, Four, and some other people labeled Caleb, Cara, Johanna, Tori, Christina, Evelyn, but "Four" must be a nickname because he's labeled "Tobias" in this picture. It says "Allegiant" in big letters at the bottom. Last I checked there was no faction called "Allegiant", but since I kept snoozing off in faction history, I wouldn't know. The rest are just more photos of those people, but taken at different times. I pick up the first textbook on top of the pile. The title is a word unfamiliar to me, "Atlas", With a picture of a blue circle with chunks of green.
