"Anna is here"
"Anna is here"
"Anna is here"
These three words swirled around my head like a subdued mantra.
What if it wasn't her?
"Anna is here"
But what if it wasn't?
"Anna is here"
It could've been someone else...
"Anna IS here"
What if she's changed?
What if she hates us?
What if she hates me?
All of these questions swam around the sea of my mind until I almost drowned in my own thoughts. I could've quite believe it. Anna was here. With me and my parents. In this building. We were sort of together. As close together as we've been in four years. Four years. It had felt like forty. At least. I got so lost in my mind that I tripped over one of the many stairs that led up to the choosing room, gaining a disapproving look from my father and a tut from my mother. I halted all thoughts about Anna and focused on the task in front of me.
Lift foot. Move foot over next stair. Place foot down. Repeat.
I repeated this again and again, walking in the time of my heartbeats until we finally reached the top of the stairway. Glancing downwards, the sight of such a drop made me so queasy that I could barely stand. Quickly, I ran off into the choosing room.
It was the same as it had been four years ago. Exactly the same. Me and my parents sat down in the Abnegation sector before it was time for me to (temporarily) say goodbye to them. I was obviously returning, so I waved hastily to them and went to join the other 16-year-olds just as the Erudite representative strolled into the room.
With dazzling blue eyes.
