2. Beatrice Prior

"Tris, your back. " says Christina.

Tris?

"Are you talking to me Chris-Ma'am" I was about to call her by her name. In our society we have to follow certain rules and precise language is one of them. As Christina is my supervisor, I have to call her "ma'am"

"Yes I'm talking to you Tris!" Christina runs and engulfs me into a tight hug. I'm shocked. Physical contact in public is forbidden. I quickly push her away.

"I apologize." I say. She just stares at me like I'm crazy. She also didn't say, 'your apology is accepted. ' Its a part of precise language.

"For what Tris."

"Um, for pushing you away. Physical contact in public is forbidden." I remind her. "and my name is Lena not Tris."

She stare at me petrified. Then turns towards Zeke who is also staring at me petrified. Christina runs out crying followed by Shauna and Zeke. I guess to comfort her.

"What was that about?" Questions Sam.

"I don't know. "

"Honey, you need some rest. Just go back to sleep." say Mrs. Jackson. She's a nurse in the medical room.

"Okay Lena Bena, you enjoyed you sleep while the rest of us get tortured. "

I smile and he leaves. I lie down and close my eyes. Why were the supervisors staring at me in horror? What was that. . .vision in which I jump into a train and Christina meeting me? Christina looked younger than she is now, and that train. . .I've seen it before. But Where? That's when I realize, it's the train from my dream, and in the dream on the train, the girl beside me, whose face I never saw. . .her hair was also short. She was also wearing black and white.

Above all, Why was she calling me Tris? Who's Tris? Tris. This name. . .it feels like. . .its a part of. . .me

Tris.
Tris.
Tris.
Tris.
Tris.
Tris.
Beatrice.

I open my eyes. What was that? Is Tris short for Beatrice? But how can I say that? How can I know that? My head starts to ache so I decided to push all my thoughts away and go to sleep.

"Beatrice Prior." A man calls. I get up and
walk towards 5 bowls. One bowl is filled
with gray pebbles, one with broken glass,
one with soil, one with water and one with
burning coals. I'm scared. I pick up the knife
and cut my palm. A drop of blood escapes
and falls on the burning coals.

"No!" I wake up the the sound of a man. My father. "We can't let her go!"

"Shh! She'll wake up." I quickly close my eyes and pretend to be asleep.

"Genevive! We cant let her go! " my father says to my mother. Can't let who go?

"Ethan. What we did was wrong. Lena has to go back, to Chicago. That's where she belongs." What is mom talking about? Whats Chicago? I belong to Chicago? What does that mean?

"But-"

"Ethan! She still has those dreams. I've seen her, sometimes she just seems. . .lost. I am also just as attached to her as you are. But this is for her own good. "

Dad sighs. "Okay then, we'll talk to her when she wakes up. I'll go tell Zeke that we're ready." with that I hear footsteps walk out.

The very next moment I hear light footsteps walk in. "We'll send her home. Talk to her in the house." Christina.
