Convergent

Chapter 1 Tris

I wake up to a bright white light.

Images fly threw my head. The bureau. Caleb giving me a worried look as I tell him that I'm going. David standing over me with a gun. David shooting me. Then...my mom? How am I not dead?

I blink a few times to focus my eyes. I'm looking up at a ceiling, with bright lights every few feet.

I'm laying on a cold metal table. I lift my head but a mind splitting ache ripples threw. I'm aware that I have a million tubes and wires attached to my body.

I try to look around the room. It's small and completely white. And the only sound I hear is the sound of my heart monitor. I wiggle my fingers. I can move my body. It's just painful to.

I use the time to try and figure things out. How am I alive? Shouldn't I be dead? What happened to every one else? Are they safe? Caleb? Was he stupid enough to go after me? Christina? Did Uriah ever wake up? Tobias?

Oh my god. Tobias.

I need to get out of here. I ignore the protests of my body, and push myself into a sitting position as wires and tubes yank out of my skin. And I throw my legs off the side of the table. I look around the room. It's blank. Completely white. There is a white chair and a door across the room.

Maybe I am dead. Maybe this is what heaven is. Or hell. But then I hear the door handle turn.

A tall woman with her brown hair done on a messy bun walks into the room. She is wearing a white lab coat, blue pants and a black shirt. She is looking down at a file that she has in her hands.

Sense she is a doctor, she has to be erudite. I dismiss the thought instantly. There are no more factions.

Then the woman looks up. She sees me and drops the file in her hands in shock. She must not of known that I was awake.

"What happened?" I ask in greeting. But it sounds like sand paper. It must if been a long time sense I've said or drunk anything. How long has it been?

It takes her a while to get out of her stage of shock. "Hello Tris. My name is Dr. Tyndall. And I have been taking care of you. You have been in a comma for the past two and a half years."

Two and a half years? Could it seriously been that long? Where is everyone? What are they doing?

"What happened?" I ask again. My voice sounds a little better. But that's not saying much. I doubt she understands me.

But she takes a hint and says "Oh! I bet you need some food and water!"

And at the mention of food my stomach wrenches. I didn't realize I was that hungry.

"I'll be right back with that and then I will tell you everything." She said then left. Closing the door behind her.

I look at the file she left here. I'm the only one in the room so it has to be mine. If I had the strength I would get up and get it. But I decide to wait for my food. It will help.

About 10 minutes later Dr. Tyndall rushes back into the room with a plate full of chicken, bread, peas and a bottle of water. When she places the food on the table, I just look at it. Abnegation food. Did she do that in purpose? I doubt it. So I big in. Painfully.

When I get started she starts to talk. "So I bet your wondering what happened."

I nod my head painfully while chewing my bread.

"Okay. I'll begin with what happened after you were shot. You were able to punch the code in time so the memory serum was released on the Bureau. Everyone forgot. Besides your friends and their families of course. The Chicago experiment ended, because everyone forgot. Inside the fence most people are still alive. But the factions are gone. Everyone just intermingles. I know it seems like it would be chaos but your society has found peace. And that's how they have been living for the past two and a half years."

I take a long drink of water. Then I ask "what about my friends?" But my voice is still scratchy.

"Ah. Yes. Forgot about that part. For the past two years they were told that you were dead. I know that seems cruel but you had a very slim chance of surviving. The only reason why you lived was because the bullets didn't pass threw you. They were the things keeping your from bleeding out. And your body shut down into a comma. We have been providing your body with what it need to function. And that's why you were hooked up to so many machines.

"But back to your friends. After you were shot, they stopped treating Uriah. They couldn't do anything. They had no reason to think that the treatment was working on him. We knew it was working on you because your hair grew. And we had to cut it several times. But your other friends are fine. Cara and Johanna are the leaders of your society, sense they were the leaders of the "allegaint" group you had. Christina and Tobias went threw some depression. They still meet every week to talk. Mattew married Rita and they won a house around the old Abnegation sector. And Caleb feels responsible for what happens, I don't really know where he is." Dr. Tyndall looks down and says "Tris, your family and friends have missed you."
