I accepted their offer. Why did I? I don't know. I guess I just want to know what the faction life feels and looks like. Maybe I want to get to know more about myself. Maybe I want to meet new people and make new friends. Maybe I want a fresh start. Maybe I wanna start all over again. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Maybe I just want to get to know my brother. Oh yeah, my brother. The one I'm supposed to be spying on. Let's see where that goes.
Anyways, there's no turning back now. I was stupid and accepted their offer so now I'm sitting in a chair looking over Eric's shoulder while he logs in to the dauntless headquarters system. He types in a lot of passwords. He's so quick at typing that I barely see what he's writing. First he searches up my parents' file and deletes everything there is about me there. Second he goes to my brother's file and does the same. Then he goes to my file and completely wipes out my entire existence. In a second. It's gone. I don't exist anymore. I'm not Elizabeth Eaton anymore.
"Wha- how did you do that? Why did you do-" I say stuttering. That's my whole existence, gone in a second.
"What? You want two of you to exist in the system? That'll cause major problems," he says, looking confused.
"No, but that's all information there's known about me. Just all gone in a second," I say.
"He has to do it, Elizabeth. If we keep your information in the system and somebody finds out that there's two of you we'd have to create a clone, fake some DNA results, and-" Jeanine begins.
"Okay, okay, I get it," I'm a little startled after the fact that she used my real name. Elizabeth. My mother didn't even bother to call me Elizabeth.
Eric opens an empty file.
"This is your new file. Your name?" He explains.
"Jessica Damon," I respond.
"Age?"
"16 obviously, or else I wouldn't be able to get through initiation, weren't you Erudite?" He's stupid. And he ignores my question.
"Alright, faction of origin?"
"Erudite,"
"Faction of choice?"
Am I ready to do this? Should I do this? I hesitate.
"Dauntless," I finally say.
"There we have it," Eric says.
"The new you," Jeanine smiles.
"Jessica Damon," I whisper to myself.
