Alexa the Divergent

Chapter 12

I gasp with terror while the monster pulls me away. I am shaken, more than I could imagine. Everything goes black. I wake up with thick wooden bars surrounding me from all sides. The top is open. I am laying on my back. When I try to sit up, I can't. My head is to heavy. What? All of a sudden, gigantic people, two of them, walk over to me. They heave a sigh of relief. "Alexa." They say. It sounds so loud. I try to cover my ears, and I notice something. My hands are so.... tiny. I'm a baby. I realize with desperation. "Alexa, we know you think you are 16, but you are 1 month. You are a lifeliner. We have been waiting for a month to see if you would pass the test. You did. You are one of us now." My mother picks me up and cradles me.
