Dauntless Born

Chapter 7 Two Years Later

I frowned as I was laying flat on my back. I looked to my left and based on the floor I'm in the glass building. I sat up slowly and look around at my surroundings. I was in the part that over looked the Pire. I didn't come up to this part hardly ever, because of Amar's death. I only came up here, if I needed to go to Control room A.

I stood up and looked out the window. Someone was standing outside. I ran for the door, but it was locked, I hit the glass. The person turned and I saw Amar. I shook my head trying to push the door open but it wouldn't give out. I looked over as he was balancing and being normal Amar, but he didn't see someone standing behind him. I couldn't see who. I banged on the glass. AMAR! AMAR TURN AROUND! I yelled but he just waved, he turned but it was too late the person shoved him.

NO! I yelled sitting up. My whole body shook. It had almost been two years since Amar died. For some reason it became less believable that he had jumped, or fallen. Four seemed to think he'd been killed and I understood why. I looked around my room and how it was set up. I smirked some.

Again almost two years ago, shortly after his father I assume broke into his apartment, Four moved me out of the COD dorms, and into the spare bedroom. We had become close. I climbed out of bed and looked into the mirror briefly while getting dressed and ready for school. I put the chain with the Erudite ring on the end, over my head. I hardly ever took it off at this point, just went I took a shower. I went into the bathroom that was between our rooms. I looked back into the mirror while cleaning my new earrings, as I had gotten my second hole and twisted the old ones.

There was two sharp knocks on the door. Kace let's go! I looked over spitting toothpaste out. Be out in a min! I called before rinsing my mouth out and putting my toothbrush back and opening the door while wiping my mouth. He smirked at me as I shoved my glasses up. Alright, what are we not doing today? Getting in a fight. And? I'm not going to get hurt. I said as last year, I climbed the statue with Hector and ended up falling and breaking my ankle. An Abnegation girl had to go get a teacher, and it was a whole thing, of going from getting my leg wrapped at school, to transferring me over to the train, to go to the hospital, and sitting there, waiting for Four to come pick me up after having a cast put on. Worst six weeks of my life.

I grabbed my ipod off the coffee table on the way out. The song "Dirty Paws" by "Of Monsters and Men" played in my right ear as we went down the hall leading to the Chasm. I stopped and looked down. Today was the Aptitude testing. People who were taking it today that I knew was Marlene, Lynn, and Uriah. I was almost Fourteen, which meant in two years I would be taking the Aptitude test myself. It still made my heart race. I wasn't nervous about taking the test. I was more nervous about what I'd find out about myself.

Kacie, come on, Breakfast. I looked over at Four. It's the most important meal of the day. I frowned at him as we started walking. I don't think it is. I said as we hit the pit, heading to the hall that went to the mess hall. Technically dinner is more important. I said as we walked in. No it's not. Yes it is! Dinner is more important because- are you two really fighting over food and which group is more important? Eric asked stepping into line behind me. I looked over at him. Yes! he's saying breakfast is more important than Dinner. Why is it more important? Four asked and I just looked up at him. Because, most dinner food groups cause Postprandial Somnolence- I'm sorry what? It's a fancy term for food makes you tired. Eric said with an annoyed tone I nodded some and Four squinted. Where did- I read. I said cutting him off as we stepped up in line. Also it keeps you from starving to death. Actually it takes up to two months for someone to starve to death, so if you die over night, you probably were already starving. Eric said and I nodded some. Four just stared at me. But if you ask my opinion on the matter, which I know you don't want it, but I gotta agree with Kace. Kacie, and thanks. I said and Four shook his head.
