Natalie:

I don't blink, afraid to miss anything. My body has frozen is shock. My eyes wide open, I swear my heart has stopped beating.

Because, there, on the screen, is my worst nightmare.

Prior, Beatrice ----------------------                     Abnegation, Candor/Dauntless/Abnegation        

Abnegation. Candor. Dauntless. 

Everything stops. My breath catches in my throat. Three?

And then, as I sit there scared stiff, the screen changes.

Prior, Beatrice----------------------
Abnegation, Abnegation         

I still don't move, still trying to wrap my mind around what I just saw. I hear the door click open across the room, and looking up to click the list closed, everything suddenly clicks into place.

As my feet slow to a stop outside her door, I rehearse in my mind what to say. I left Andrew downstairs- after all, I am not supposed to talk to the children tonight.  

A shaky hand reaches out to the door's handle and I faintly register that it is mine. With a deep breath, the door opens and I see her.

A/N- sorry it's not a very good chapter this time. I'm officially on school holidays now :) so I'll update more frequently.  And sorry for the cliff hanger! (Kind of ;)
