I materialise into a hospital room. My mother lays still on the bed, her chest unmoving, her eyes unseeing. Salty tears flood down my face and I feel helpless and hopeless. What happened? What have I done to deserve this? Why me?

My eyes scan the entire scene, attempting to absorb every detail of my surroundings. The room is vast, almost like a corridor, with beds in strict lines along the walls reaching further than is naturally visible. Cold blue lights line the ceiling. Familiar cold blue lights. Erudite cold blue lights. This isn't real! You'll have to try harder than that Jeanine.

I nearly chuckle - that was so easy! The image shatters and brings me back to reality which is not so different from the 'dream'. Behind the desk sat my brother with a studious look worn on his hateful face. He is muttering something, though whar it is I can't decipher. I am slowly dragged back under, an dull ice cream pain throbbing in my right temple.

Pain screams through my body, reaching to every fingertip, and I let out a tortured sob. I force myself to heave my arm to touch my back - the place where it hurts most - and immediately remove my tingling fingers, screeching like an eagle in lava.

Beside me Tobias lies unconscious and Marcus stands over him. He raises his arms, covered in wire-like spiralling strands of hair, over his head and brings them down with great firce upon Tobias' body. Hot, painful tears stream down my face and before Marcus can strike Tobias again, I throw my body onto Tobias and Marcus hits me instead. How come that didn't hurt Tobias.

Jeanine, you'll have to do better than that! I think, triumphant. The image fades back to room 366b and reveals Jeanine, furious and wild, holding a needle-syringe containing a deep, grey-blue liquid. Before I can react, the sharp point pierces my skin and all goes black.

A voice, Jeanine, states, "Beatrice Prior. You are currently under simulation. You know we want to get rid of the divergent and that we know you are a threat. Tobias, back with everyone else, decided that he would help us crack the code if we would leave you alone. Well we left you alone but you did not do us the same courtesy. Therefore, your beloved Tobias is still in Dauntless pondering over where you might be, along with your other not-so-smart dauntless mates. You, of course, were the ultimate prize. You have 3 factions that you are eligible to join. ALL other divergents only have 2. Therefore you are the biggest threat and the biggest reward because if we can control you, we can control everyone."

"I guess you have got me under the serum to make sure I can't answer but I can't trust you, no matter what you say. I don't see any reason for you to lie but there could be one. Jeanine, the divergent are not dangerous.  They are a help to your system and I don't know why you must root them out. You want everyone under control but would that make peace? No. We are all told that the faction system is the only thing that keeps us in peace. But if you have control over everyone, we will never grow, never move on, forever stuck in the same cycle. Jeanine, don't you see, you can't just control an entire civilization! "

"My dear, why ever not. I know it's not moral, it's not humane buf think what you could do if you were in my situation. Doesn't that draw you in?"

"Quite frankly no. Jeanine, the divergent can help you-"

"Oh yes and how's that?" She interrupts.

"Don't you see? Surely being able to do more than one thing can help societies not detract from them. You add more to the idea. Each faction is linked. The dauntless are also selfless, the abnegation brave, the erudite are honest, the candor intelligent and every faction is at peace. Oh don't you see?! No one can just be one thing. Everyone is everything. But the factions are drifting away from their core beliefs. The tides are rising, a storm is coming. Jeanine, we need to act! "

A/N and that is all you're getting! Do you think it's ok? Is it all too similar to Veronica Roth's original? 

I HONESTLY SWARE I AM NOT TRYING TO COPY HER OR CLAIM THAT ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS ARE MINE. SHE IS BETTER THAN I WILL EVERY BE, I AM JUST CREATING A PLOT LINE WITH HER AMAZING CHARACTERS! !!!!

Now that's cleared, let's stop the capitals!
