Things were moving faster than I could handle

With no one on my side, guilt was all I felt

I couldn't talk to anyone, and most importantly, I was standing in front of a dead-end that I could never go through on my own

I was too small to stop it, too insignificant to do anything to save them

But maybe if the truth came out, other factions would help

I just needed to find a way to get my message out there, to warn them all

And that's exactly what I planned on doing

I sat up on my bed and eyed the clock in my room

4:00 in the morning

Everybody should be asleep

I stood up and since I was already dressed and ready to go, I just put on my boots and leather jacket and headed out the door

As quietly as possible I walked down the corridors heading to the roof to catch the train that was supposed to be there in a few minutes

Maybe I was being paranoid about someone following me so I clutched my gun and hoped it was just my imagination that I noticed a shadow at a corner before I reached the Chasm

A few water drops reached my face as I passed, so I turned to look at the Chasm in all it's glory

I took a deep breath "I can do this," I whispered and continued my way to the roof

As I reached it, a sigh of relief rushed through me, I had made it

I was so close

Waiting for the train, I couldn't help but notice what a beautiful night it was

The sky was painted a dark but still vibrant blue color, many stars decorating it like a beautiful canvas that had just been freshly painted

The quiet helped me think and figure out a plan

I walked to the edge of the terrace and looked down

First stop, Abnegation

I had to warn them so they'd evacuate as soon as possible

If I could stop even one person from being murdered, that would be the best tactic

Then, Amity

People knew me there, they'd listen

Then lastly, Candor

They'd be the ones to help me record and spread the warning around

If I could broadcast the message, everybody would see it

Even the ones in Erudite

Not everybody would agree with a massacre, right?

The sound of the door behind me opening and closing, made me jump and point my gun in the direction of the sound

"Sara, what are you doing here?" Eric seemed nonchalant about me pointing a gun at him, and instead, took two steps forward, furrowed eyebrows and worried eyes

"I could ask you the same thing," I breathed, momentarily glancing at the train tracks hoping that the train would be here soon, then back at Eric

"What you're doing is a going on a suicide mission," he took another step forward "You're going to get yourself killed,"
