"Your name ma'am?"

"Lena Savant."

The nurse gives me a confused look. I sigh. I'm sure Four didn't register my name as 'Lena Savant' in the hospital.

"Tris Prior." I tell her. She nods facing towards the computer screen typing fast. Her glasses reflect the computer screen displaying numerous 0's and 1's.

"Room 1542 on the 6th floor." she informs me while handing me a permission slip. I see her wrist is tattooed with 4 alphabets : B.O.G.W. I start towards the elevator and this is the first time I actually get to see the interior design. The place is filled with enormous glass windows and walls painted all white. The seating area to my right which consists of white sofa's along with tables made of glass and wood.

I'm about to enter the elevator when I hear I shout.

"Miss Prior!" I turn to see a woman hurrying towards me. Once she notices that she's gained my attention she slows her pace. I can hear her heels 'tick tick' as she makes her way towards me.

"Miss Prior," she says, "I apologize for my delay. My name is Tessa Waghmare, and I will be guiding you." Tessa puts a lose strand of her brown hair behind her ear.

"I can do fine without guidance."

She smiles at me, "Four has requested to do so."

I nod and follow her into the elevator. After a couple of second we step out of the elevator to see a man seated a good few feet away from us.

"Is Sam ready to be met?" Tessa questions the man. I man types a couple of words on the keyboard, he then looks up at us and say, "Yes, he--" he is cut up by beeping sounds produced my the computer.

"Uh, no Tessa. He's not ready. There's a change in the report. You need to wait for some time. "

"Oh, okay. Thank you William."{TMI fans;) }

"Your welcome." he smiles.

"Looks like we have to wait." Tessa tells me.

I nod.

"Shall I show you the Erudite library?" She questions with a glint of excitement.

"Sure." I reply. Books are a great way to spend time.

She guides me through a couple of corridor's with a the sound of her heel always there. Finally a large glass door slides open.

"This is Erudite compound."

The compound basically looks like a well kept office. Every wall is white and has massive glass windows just like the hospital's entry area. People dressed in blue and white walk to their respective destination.

"This way." she says motioning me to follow her.

We walk for a couple of minutes until a glass door automatically slides open. I can't help but stare in admiration. The library is huge. It's all with, the walls, the bookshelves, everything! The sofa's are royal blue. In spite of having only a couple of windows, the place is filled with light.

I spot a staircase. I look up to count the number of floors and count five including mine.

"What genre would you like?" she questions.

I'm not sure what genre I want. I look up to see that the 5th floor which is the highest floor isn't well lit.

"What's up there?" I ask jerking my head to the direction.

She looks up and then answers, "The 5th floor includes books related to the history of Chicago."

"The floors is kinda dark."
