Truth Serum: Part 1

Above is a beautiful video that I had the privilege of viewing last night. If you love Divergent - which I assume you do if you're reading this book - I highly recommend you watch this video. It hits home with Allegiant and.. Oh the feels just watch it and leave this gurl a comment because she is wonderful.

I can't believe this.

It doesn't add up. What did we do to these people to warrant our arrests?

As they march us to the elevators, Tris asks the guards what's going on several times until she realizes that they're not going to answer her. Then she just let's them take us wherever we're going.

As we enter the elevator, some of my claustrophobia sets in. I haven't been in this small of a room in a while and I definitely wasn't looking forward to getting in one again. But I don't complain. I simply stand where I am and try to stop my stomach from churning.

Eventually, the elevator stops and we file out. But we don't get very far. One is the guards proceed to unlock a door and then the other guards usher Tris and I inside.

They leave as soon as we're fully in the room without telling us why we're here or any other details.

I sit down at the bench in the back of the room trying to pinpoint what room we're in.

And then it hits me.

We're in Candor's holding cell for people who are unruly.

But why? What could we have done?! We just got here!

While my adrenaline levels start to climb as I go through possible escape plans, Tris paces in front of me. She continues walking back and forth back and forth until I can't take it anymore.

"Can you please calm down?" I ask. "You're making me nervous."

"This is calming me down." She says, biting her bottom lip.

"The wound in your lip begs to differ." I say, leaning back against the wall.

She finally stops a few minutes later and sits down next to me, pulling her knees up to her chin and rocking slowly back and forth.

When I glance at her, I can clearly tell that there is something on her mind that she's not telling me. In fact, I think there's a lot she's not telling me, but I don't know a why.

"You know sometimes I get the impression that you don't trust me." I say to her.

"Of course I trust you." She says, a little too quickly for my taste. "Why would you think otherwise?"

"Just, there seems to be something going on with you that you're not telling me. I told you things..." an image of Tris facing my fears with me flashes in my mind. "I wouldn't have to anyone else. But it seems like somethings been going on with you, and you haven't told me about it yet."

"Lots of things have been going on. You know that." She stops rocking and positions herself so that she's facing me. "And what about you? I could say the same thing about you."

What is happening to us? How did we get to this point where we're second guessing trusting each other? And here I thought we were doing so well...

I don't like this. This tension between us.

Trying to ease it away, I touch my fingertips to Tris's face.

"If it's about your parents," I rub my thumb against her cheek. "just tell me and I'll believe you."

"That's all it is." She says quietly, and I bring my lips to hers, forgetting our atmosphere and the fact that I should probably be calculating our escape routes right now.

Someone clears their throat.

Tris and I nearly spring apart and quickly move our gazes to the door.

There, standing in the doorway along with 2 Dauntless guards is the Candor representative, Jack Kang. The bright lights in our cell reflect the darkness of his short black hair so much that it's beginning to look like someone poured ink on it.

"They told me you were confused about why you were being arrested." He says to us. "To me, that means that you're either being falsely accused or are good at pretending-"

Tris cuts him off. "What are we being accused of?"

"He is accused of committing crimes against humanity. You are accused of being his accomplice."

"Crimes against humanity?" I ask, rage boiling up inside me. I run through all of the things I've done, but committing crimes against humanity is not in the list.

"We saw the simulation footage. You were fighting her for the simulation fluid and then we saw you with a vial in your hand." Jack tells us, his voice flat.

"How did you see the footage? We took it." I say to him,very confused.

"You took one copy of the data. You don't think they only had one copy of it do you? All of the events that happened at Dauntless that day were recorded." He tells us, as I mentally punch myself for thinking they'd only make one copy of it. "All we saw was you holding the simulation fluid and then her almost getting shot before giving up." I shiver, remembering my thoughts while under that simulation.
"Then you stopped, kissed a bit stole the hard drive together. My guess for your doing this is most likely because the simulation was over and you didn't want us to know what had happened."

I bite back a laugh. Are they seriously accusing is of working alongside Erudite?!

"The simulation hadn't ended." Tris speaks up. "We stopped it-"

Jack holds up his hand." I am not interested in what you have to say right now. All will be revealed when you are interrogated under Truth Serum."

I can almost feel Tris recoil. "Truth Serum?" She croaks. "No. No way."

I can't say I'm happy want thus either. Telling my secrets to a whole bunch of strangers is not what I had in mind when I set Candor in my sights.

"What, you have something to hide?" Jack asks her.

She quickly shakes her head.

"Then you should be fine." He tells her. "It is now noon. Your interrogation will be at seven. Don't try and prepare for it. You cannot withhold information while under Truth Serum." And with that, he and his guards leave,locking the door behind them.

"What a charming man." I say, the sarcasm evident in my tone.
