Chapter 15

She is dead.

My sister is dead.

Completely dead.

Gone.

Forever.

Never coming back.

Ever.

Again.

I'll never.

Ever.

Ever.

See her.

Ever.

Again.

My beautiful sister, who always picked me up and dusted my knees down when I fell over, who always made me laugh when I was sad, who always played with me even if she didn't want to at all, that sister, is dead. Dead. Death. What is death? It was like my mind was blocking out what had happened. It was going to hit me soon. Hit me hard. I kicked the newspaper out of the way and ran up the stairs, throwing myself on to my bed.

Then

It

Hit

Me

The tears came within seconds, streaming down my face like a waterfall. Sobs lurched me forward and my shoulders shook so hard that I nearly banged them against the wall. I slammed my head into my pillow and let myself cry. This was grief. And I knew right then that my life was never going to be the same.

But why? Why Anna? She may have been Erudite, but she was a sweet, kind, soul that wouldn't hurt a fly. Or would she? Had she changed? Was she different? I will never know.

My sobs halted for a moment as disgust sunk in. Disgust at my faction. Abnegation killed my sister. They MURDERED her. MY faction. Before my conscious could kick in I screamed into my pillow. Screamed until my throat was hoarse, until I couldn't scream any more. How could they do that? Anna used to be one of us, she still is one of us in my heart. And they MURDERED her. And now she is dead. I want to kill the people that ended her life, but I knew that doing that would make me as bad as them, worse even. So I gritted my teeth and turned on to my side.

Sleep came quickly and naturally. It was almost like a breath of fresh air from the horrors that were overwhelming my life.

So I slept.
