-Simeon-

I hung by hands chained to the ceiling and two Dauntless members took turns punching me in the gut.

My body was numb with pain and my tongue was dry due to the lack of water.

They stopped their assault and sat down on stools in front of me, "You sure can take a hit," the brunette male panted.

I turned my head and spit up blood, "Well, I was raised in being hit on a lot, so yeah, thanks."

"Why'd you give yourself up so easily though?" he asked.

"Because the factions unanimously agreed to being rid of me and I believe in the balance of my people. So if ridding me brings balance, I will allow my life to be taken."

"You'd be willing to do that? Even for those who've been nothing but assholes to you?" the jet black woman asked.

"Yes, even then. Besides, I'm sick and tired of it all. I'm sick and tired of all the hatred toward one another. I just want it to be done and over with."

"What are you exactly? Because you're not human," the girl stood back up and walked over to me. She looked deeply in my eyes with confusion and doubts.

"That's a good question Sonya. I don't know what I am."

"You're eyes are so pretty."

"You're pretty too ya know," I smile at her.

She blushes and giggles. It's obvious that she's never been flirted with before, "Don't allow him to shift you Sonya."

"Why not? He's trying to help us actually," she turns around and places her hands on her hips.

"Don't let him fool you," he repeated, "He wants to escape and wreak havoc on the factions."

"Listen here Erudite, if I wanted to escape, I would've done so already."

"How do you know her name and where I came from?"

"I have the power to read minds. It's a gift my sister and I have."

"You should stay our of our heads you freak."

"Fine," I close my eyes and leaned back my head.

Even though I was out of his head, I sensed that he was actually curious about me and wanted to know more, "So what's your name anyway?" the man walked up to me and looked at the side of my head.

"My name is Simeon."

"Your ears, they're pointed. Not round like us."

"Yeah, you have brown hair. Whilst we're pointing out the obvious, brace yourself. Kay is coming to collect me for termination. In three... two... one. And cue Kay."

The door swung open and Kay came in with four Dauntless guards, "Looks like you got fucked up Simeon."

"Yeah."

"I'm surprised you're still able to talk."

"Yeah! Well I think of myself to be a strong person."

"Are you ready?"

"I was ready when the love of my life was taken from me."

"Speaking of which," he stepped aside and a brunette woman came in. Her dark brown eyes looked like they were full of anger, rage, and without mercy.

Those eyes where so familiar; but so foreign.

My breath caught in my lungs, "It can't be," it was her, "It must not be. I watched you die. I saw your dead body!" I fought the chains that began digging into my wrists.

"Hello old friend," she smiled evilly.

"What the he is going on?!"

"Why don't you tell him?" Kay told her.

"I faked my death to be separated from you. I knew it'd trigger the right response in order to collect the right brain signals from your brain. Which we have collected and now, Dauntless shall rule alongside Erudite in the new world."

I roared and cursed her name as I fought the chains more and more, "You betrayed me and I ruined my reputation because of you!" I stilled myself and bite my eyes through her, "I see I should've made sure that you were dead."

"It's not like you could do anything," she leaned to one side and placed a hand on the opposing hip.

"The balance of the factions is in jeopardy and I shall protect it. The factions must not unite!"

I pulled on the chains and they snapped from the ceiling. I dropped to the ground and dropped the chains, "Actually, factions or not, I will release my full power on the factions and reset them to their former glory."

"Anything I need to hear before I destroy all of you?" I allowed my mind to extend all over the place and took over the minds of all the minds of the guards.

The four guards that came in with Kay, pointed their guns at Kay and the Betrayer, "What are you doing?" Kay turned rigid.

"Ending all those who oppose me!"

-Tris-

Terry, Teirm, and I were in a small cramped cell, "So what should do about our deaths, eh?" Terry picked his nails with a blade he swiped from a guard.

"I think we should just give up," Teirm pushed her hair back over her ears, "Simeon won't help and he was out last hope."

"I agree with Teirm," I stated. I sat on a black concrete bench carved out of the wall, "We're done for."

"Is that it then? We'll just die here?"

"Listen, we have been here for-!"

"Move! Move! Move!" we heard outside the door, "Wait, open this door!"

"What for?"

"Tris, Teirm, and Terry."

"Right."

Within seconds, the metal door unlocked and slammed open. I flinched when it hit the door.

"I want you three to come with us," a teen no older than fifteen ordered.

"No!" I hissed.

The kid closed his eyes and snapped his eyes back open. His eyes were gold and glowing and the voice of Simeon replaced his, "Im taking over and I want all of you to take the places of the leaders."

"Where are you?"

"I'm in the holding cell right now. I'm currently thinking of ways to destroy everyone that wants me dead. There are going to be new rules."

"Rules for what?"

"For Annihilation. Revolution. Or for the Post Apocalypse Faction systems. Now follow me."

"Lets go guys," I stood up and faltered a little. They took my wheelchair and my boot. All I have are bandages wrapped tightly around my ankle.

"Here," the man lifted me and cradles me in his arms, "We will have that leg fixed later," before I could speak he spoke, "I know you're a proud woman, but for now, allow me to help you. Allow me to help my family."

He carried me out and there were two guards with guns. I went rigid and then calmed when I saw that their eyes were golden.

We walked, or, I was carried down the quiet hallways until we saw guards lined along the hallway. They were positioned to guard a doorway. In unison, they pivoted on their right foot and faced their guns before us. Gold laid their eyes as well.

Simeon walked out of the door with a facial expression mixed with a smile and grimness.

"Let us get this done and over with," stated.

"What's the plan?" I asked him.

"Make sure that a war comes my way. I'm going to lead the Factions to my home. I'll take them on from there."

"What shall we do?"

"Come with me."

"Can my parents come?" Terry asked.

"Mine too?" Teirm asked.

"Where are your parents?" Simeon asked them both.

"Mine are in Candor," Teirm sadly admitted.

"Mine should be at home. They're in communications and today should be their day off," Terry stated.

"Okay, we will get Terry's parents first, them we will get Teirm's parents," Simeon nodded, "As for you Tris, I want you to stay in this room until we return for you."

"I understand," I grumbled. Really not wanting to stay behind, but I knew I'd just slow them down because of my ankle.

The guy holding me walked toward Simeon as he turned his attention toward a girl. She was blonde and wore Candor colours.

"Now, what should I do with you?"

"Go ahead, kill me," she bitched, "You're going to do it anyway."

"No, I'm not. I'm just going to make you suffer like you made me suffer for the past five years," their conversation was cu short when I was taken into the room and the door was shut. The guard sat me on a bench in the back of the room.

Looking around I saw that there that there was the guard that brought me in with two guards with the biggest guns I've ever seen on either side of the door, facing me. One was a guy, and the other a girl.

"I'm Sonya," the girl walked up to me.

"You're not under Simeon's control?" I asked we and pressed myself against the brick wall.

"Don't fear, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm on your side."

"He was beaten up," I said.

"Yeah," guilt riddled her eyes, "I'm sorry about that. I had to do it in order for my plan to work. But, Simeon kinda started the fireworks early."

"Explain," I crossed my arms.

"A few others and I were going to free him before he was executed."

"So who are you working for?"

"I work for a Faction organization that protects the integrity of the factions and for Simeon."

"What?"

"Anytime he comes to any faction, we make sure he's protected from physical harm."

"Why?"

"Because people should respect him, not ridicule of mock him. He's our Unified Faction Leader and I'm surprised that he hasn't snapped earlier. Now, we will stand and fight."

"How many are there of you?" I asked her.

"There's over twenty-five thousand of us. He will sift us out to fight at his side."

"What is he specifically? He has pointed ears and bronze skin with gold eyes."

"He's the last of a dying and rare breed. He's called Humanoidus Mandorys."

"What?"

"His blood contains alien DNA. He's tenth generation human-alien hybrid that was instilled into the factions many centuries ago. His race has a few abandoned communities all over. But now, there is only him and his sister. My prediction is that he will kill his sister when this is all over and done with. When that happens, he will be the last of his kind."

"Why don't we stop him?" I shot up, "His sister may be a traitor, but I don't think he should wipe out the last possible hope for his species."

"Trust me, I have the best two people on it trying to change his mind."

"Who would that be?"

"His children," I gasped at her sudden words, "He got drunk three years ago and had sex with some random girl and months later, she had his kids."

"Does he know about them?"

"Doubt it, but this plan will work."

"You're going to threaten his kids aren't you?" I said angrily.

"No, I'm not. His breed of human are very protective of their young. When he sees them, he will know that they're his and his paternal instincts will kick in. He will allow the factions to gain their wills back and leave them be."

"But they're just going to find him and kill him," I stated.

"Not if we can change their minds on the matter. "

"What's the plan now?"

"Make sure the survival of the alien-hybrid race is intact and to make sure the factions stay as factions."

"Why not unify the factions?"

"So many question," she smiled, "Im not going to answer them all, but I will say this. Don't ask questions you don't want know the answers to."

"But I do want to know about faction policies after the war."

"Trust me on this. If you knew, you wouldn't be a good guy anymore."

"What makes you say that?"

She smiled, "Do you think the death of thousands is wrong? Even though its for the greater good?"

"Is this what's going to happen?"

"Precisely."

"Well, then I think we can handle that," I tell her and her face hardens, "What did I say?"

"You're willing to allow thousands to die?"

"Yes."

"Fine then," she was hiding something and I have to find out what it is.

"What are you hiding?"

"One second," she went to the door and cracked it open. Simeon was now yelling and cursing his head off. Sonya stuck he head out and the yelling immediately stopped.

"What?!" Simeon yelled. A few seconds later, "Of Course You Can! Why'd You Interrupt Me For That?"

She came back in and exhaled sharply, "He's really getting heated out there," she told me.

"So what's going on?"

"Simeon wants you as his second and he's willing to make you happy enough to do it."

"Second?"

"He's willing to teach you how to unlock the secrets of the mind. If you choose to say yes-!"

"Wait, I thought he was leaving. Why's he still here?"

"I just said, he's pissed off and yelling at some redhead dude."

"Why's he yelling at Terry?" I stood up but Sonya moved quickly and gently pushed me back in my seat.

"It's okay, he's just letting off some steam," just then, Simeon's voice grew louder and we could hear it through the metal door.

"Don't tell me to calm down! Don't ever tell me to calm down!" his voice softened only a little bit and the door swung open. The male guard still at the door moved forward with Simeon still yelling, "I will never," he stopped and side kicked him into the jaw, "Calm down! You gotta be fucking kidding me!" the guard that carried me in was greeted with a bare foot to the face on the word 'fucking'. Both guards laid ok the floor unconscious. I caught a glimpse outside and saw bodies strewn across the hallway.

"Simeon!" his twin sister came storming in, "What are you doing?" she yelled.

"I'm seeking vengeance upon the Factions for the Factions. You're next!" he charged at her and blasted her with an invisible force. She was swiped against the wall. She fell hard on the ground and a yelp of fear came from my mouth and I looked away.

"Nothing shall stop me from resetting the Factions!"

"I can!" I stand up, "You want me as your second and we will do things my way!"

"Your way will not work!" he picked his sister up with his mind. Blood trickled down from her mouth, "I will end her and put her out of my misery."

"Don't do that!" I commanded.

"And why is that blondie?"

"You two are the last of your kind and if you kill her, you will never be any more after you," Sonya stated.

"I don't care. She deserves death for betraying me. She was me sister and she stabbed me in the back."

"You can kill her later, but for now, we need her in order to save your species," Sonya pleaded.

"She does not deserve to live!" Simeon protested.

"Simeon!" Sonya stated like an angry mother with her hands on her hips.

"But..." Simeon set his sister down and as he did, he hunched over with a pouty face on.

Sonya shook her head, "Not today Simeon."

"Ugh, fine," he went down onto all fours like an animal sitting, "Now, Terry's going to his parent's dwelling and Teirm's going to Candor to get her parents. And don't worry Tris, they're protected and I know a guy in Candor that can make sure that she'll be unharmed."

"How long until they return?" I asked.

"No more than sixteen hours if they stick to the plan."

"So what was the yelling about?"

"Your redhead friend suggested that the plan would work better if you tagged along and I told him that you weren't going anywhere with that broken foot of yours. Being the Alpha male he was he fought he idea and I just had to show him that I was just as crazy as he was and then some."

"Where's Eric?"

"Who?"

"Eric. My boyfriend."

"Hold on," he closed his eyes and tilted his head back. In three seconds flat I felt tendrils enter into my kind and I flinched at their sudden intrusion. They amplified my thoughts of Eric and clung to them. Some how, flashes of new memories flowed through my mind. What really took me aback were the emotions behind those memories.

Felt pain on my cheeks and abdomen coupled with the feelings of self worthlessness and unworthiness.

'You have good memories of your boyfriend, despite your relationship being so short,' I heard him say.

'Are these all of your memories?'

'Not all, but some. I have a troubled past as I've told you before.'

'I knew that, but I didn't think hat it was this bad.'

'Yea, it was. Don't feel bad though. I don't. Hey! Found your boyfriend!'

'Good, where is he?'

I opened my eyes so he could tell me, "He's down at the tattoo parlor with Tori finishing up his tattoos."

"Can't yo bring him here?"

"Not whilst he's getting a tattoo. I know enough about tattoo guys to know that you don't interrupt them when they're getting new ink."

"How do you know that?"

Simeon took off his shirt to reveal greatly defined abs and muscular arms. He was lean, but looked like he could punch through steel with little effort. He reminded me of a picture I saw on a box beyond the fence. I had to go because someone tried to escape and got shot down. He reminded me of the guy on the box and would've looked like him if her had squinted eyes and pale skin. The box read 'Enter the Fist' or something like that.

Anyway, I marveled at how toned he was and kinda fell in love with his body. He revealed a row of five black circles with the Faction symbols inside of them. The one in the middle was a little bigger than the rest and the symbol inside the circle was Amity.

"I have some tattoos of my own," he looked at them, "Amity. The Faction I came from. Oh how I miss it so. I haven't been since I left it over thirteen years ago. I kinda want to go back when the war has ended. Just to live in peace for a few months is all," he ran his hand over the Amity symbol.

"I thought you've been back since then?" I asked feeling so sorry for him.

"Because I felt as though I should stay away from it for some reason. Do you know what that's like, wanting to go home but something inside of you says no and you can't ignore it? It's pure hell," his eyes saddened.

"I'm so sorry."

"Don't be, everything will be okay in a couple days though. Everything will be okay," he repeated as though to comfort himself.

"What do you mean?"

"I want it to be done and over with. I want to go back to a time and place that was the happiest for me. A time when I wasn't fully aware of all the hatred in the factions. A place where I was safe from it all."

That's when I knew, he was talking about death. He wants to die, to escape it all and the war is his chance to give his life and slip into the void, "Also, I want to see my parents again," he cocked his head back and looked to the ceiling, "I want them to smile upon me and hold me again," he held himself, "I have never experienced a mother's loving kiss or a father's warm embrace in so long. There's nothing I want more in life than those two things."

"I think I get it now," I stood up, "You want to die?"

"Because I want to not live in a world where everyone, is ugly to each other. I'm tired of going around and not having me a buddy to be with."

"I can do it," he looked at me with confusion, "When the time comes, I can do it."

He smiled and dipped his chin, "Thank you."

"But I have just one question, what should I tell people when they ask why I killed you? How should I respond?"

"Tell them it was the kindness you've shown me. Tell them this, people are killed with their love, all over the world. You killed me with your love and that's all I ask you for. Kill me with the love, you made."

Tears fell from my eyes and all I could do was nod, "In return, I shall give you something that you have once lost," he smiled and turned to face the door, "Now lets, get, BUSYYYYY!" he laughed and ran out the door. Laughing all the way down the hallway.

A/N: Please review and feel free to give any ideas on how I should continue this story. Anything helps.
