I have agreed to begin the simulations again.

To escape the pain of reality, the torture.

And then I remember why I wanted to stop.


I sit in the room with a different Erudite woman, not the one from Lab C, another one. She doesn't ask about my head, or how I'm doing. She just explains that it is something different. It is not Erudite serum, that is used to control people, not Candor, that is used to make you tell the truth.

It is a newly developed serum, every emotion that you feel is enhanced.

When she injects me, nothing happens.

Then I feel as I am going to pass out from nervousness.

Anxiety fills me, and I feel like I am in danger.

I remember the compound fire, the way I had to run back to save Christina and Will.

I feel the sweat collect on my palms, and I bite my lip.

I am going to die.

The thought comes out of nowhere, I clutch my stomach.

Without thinking, I rush to a trash can and heave breakfast.

I feel a hand on my back.

The Erudite woman.

"Peter."

She says my name as if it will grant her something, as if it is a prize, a treasure.

I wipe my mouth and stand up straight.

"Mhhm?"

She gives me a stern look. "Remember, everything that you feel, is ten times exaggerated." She stroked my back. "Think of something you like."

I nod, and the first thing that come to mind is Dauntless cake.

I can taste the chocolate as it hits my tongue and smile.

Only the way I feel of cake is awfully much. A lot.

I feel a need to have it, I have been away from it to long.

I want to not only hug cake, but treasure it, hug it, kiss it.

I love cake.

And then I think of Tris.

I get a fluttery feeling in my stomach and laugh wildly.

I am feel my heart pounding in my chest, and I can smell the soap that she gives away, her short golden hair, and her smile.

Her smile.

My laughter grows, until the point where my stomach hurts, and I can no longer take it.

My first instinct is to run out of the door and yell things about how great love and life is.

Because love and life are wonderful; delightful.

And then I throw up again, this time out of happiness, and anxiety.

And then comes another feeling.

I'm not sure what it is, though, I can't give a name for it. It is a mixture between sadness and gratefulness.

Sadness? I'm not sure how that got there.

Gratefulness, however, I am sure who I got there.

Seeing Tris almost die in real life, seeing her dead in the simulation, I have learned to appreciate her a little more.

I feel a tear slip out of my right eye as the emotions come pouring onto my like buckets of water.

And the next emotion hits me like a slap in the face.


I clutch my stomach and bend over.

The joke Uriah told me over a few seconds wasn't very funny, kind of cheesy, but I laugh louder and harder than I ever would.

The serum had not worn off during the day.

I told him that I agreed to start the simulations again, only the morning classes this time. He understands why I feel so many emotions, even if he hasn't taken the serum; he knows how powerful they are.

The day had been filled with deep revulsion, strong anxiety, and evermore amity. I was exhausted.

I sighed when I finished laughing and look up at Uriah, who gives me a crazed look.

Uriah pats my back, and grins. "You done?"

For some reason, his question makes me laugh even more, and I feel my feeling grow intense.

I am sure I annoy the mess out of him when he ask me again.


On the way to dinner, I walk there slowly, I don't not want to start anything. I had just laughed at Uriah for a whole 30 minutes straight. My face was still red.

When I reach the cafeteria, I can practically feel the eyes on me.

I had confused a lot of people today.

I see a hand stick out from the crowd of Erudite, and my first instinct is to follow it. I do.

It leads me to a table in which Eric's brother sits.

His reaction to me is odd, he seems relieved. Not upset, not surprised, as if he knew that I was coming.

I sit across from him, he wears a slight smile.

"I tried to see you," He begins. "At Lab C."

I raise an eyebrow. He did?

I am confused. And when I am, it doesn't quickly pass the way it usually would. Instead, it grows, and I am more lost then I usually would be.

And then it comes to me.

The visitor that I was not the most familiar with, the one that I thought was a stranger while I was in Lab C.

I nod and let him continue.

He smiles at me. "How's your head?"

I want to say something mean, something rude, but I realize it is a joke, and I begin to laugh all over again.

And I can't stop.


On the way back to the dorms, I let a lot of tears escape.

I have never felt some many things all in one day.

When I am at the dorm, everyone is awake, talking quietly before it is time to go to sleep.

When I enter, all of their conversations stop, and I am the new center of attention.

And I know exactly why.

I quickly stumble to the bed where Tris sits, and sit next to her, smiling. "Hey."

I have not seen her at all today.

But maybe she saw me.

I get a powerful sense of longing, and I hug her to a point where it begins to be uncomfortable. "I miss you."

She hugs back willingly, not suspecting anything.

Boy, would that change.

Uriah smiles at me. "Tris, I wouldn't kiss him or trigger anything wild in him right now."

She raises a brow. "Why not?"

Uriah looks away from us with a large grin.

"Why not?" Tris asks again, this time looking up at me.

I sigh and reply. "I took something called the enhanced serum or something," I pause, thinking of words to describe the serum. "and pretty much everything that I feel is intensified- to the max."

Uriah looks back at us. "He laughed at me for like forty minutes."

Thirty, I say in my head.

I had been counting.

Tris nods and grins. "That sounds fun."

I furiously shake my head. "It really isn't."

Tris shrugs. "I can see how it can affect you in some cases." She frowns. "How's your head?"

The question is familiar, from dinner. A joke from Eric's brother. I remember it and sigh.

And that's when the laughing starts.

Okay...So, yeah odd chapter, but it's more of a filler. I tried give you an idea of how Peter would act on Peace serum. xD Sorry if it wasn't the best.

Anywho, me and a fellow author 'datcray-crayfangirl' are working on a new Fanfiction! Feel free to check it out when we are done. I don't know who's profile it's going to be on, but we'll figure that out later!

Go check out her Fanfiction 'The Pedrad Boys' if you are a big Uriah and Zeke fan. It's pretty good! :)
