Chapter 23

I finally feel at peace, sleeping, until I hear a loud crash, and the wretched voice of the one and only Jeanine Matthews. 

I dart upwards, staring at her"So, we meet again." She says in her wicked voice. 

"What the hell are you doing here? How did you even get in?" I ask, ready to attack at any second. 

"You find one tiny exit, and you get access to this whole facility! Now do as I say, and nobody will get hurt." She stares at me, expecting I will just give up. 

"What do you want?" I ask, standing from my bed. 

"I want you, to come with me. The only way to defeat you monstrous divergent's is to experiment, if I am thinking correctly. If you come with me, I will not hurt any of your family, and I will not hurt those little babies of your mothers." 

I glare, "I would never come with you if my life depended on it." 

She laughs, "Well, it does," She pulls a gun out from behind her, making me cower a little, "As I said, come with me, and nobody will get hurt." 

"Why don't you have anyone else here to protect you? I could kill you with one flick of my wrist." I ask, honestly curious. 

"Because, little monster, this is something I have always wanted to do on my own. Especially since you are the daughter of the woman who ruined my life. And besides, I have a gun, you wouldn't be able to react fast enough." 

My eyes flicker to the side, and I see Dad with a gun in his hand, and a finger to his mouth. 

"I doubt you could kill me." I say, distracting her. 

"I could always..." She lunges at me, and I burst into flames, the best way to defend myself. 

Jeanine screams bloody murder, stepping back. "You wretched girl! You won't-" Her words are stopped by the gunshot, and she slumps over. 

I cringe at the noise, and then look around. "Natalie we need to get everyone out!" Dad yells, coming for me. 

I wince, cowering back, before I realize what he means. When I burst into flames, it started to catch different things in my room on fire. 

I scream, running out of the room. Smoke begins to fill the apartment, and I start coughing. Mom stand by the front door, "Go, get everyone out, the fire is spreading quickly!"

I look back, seeing it has gone from my room, to the living room, and is spreading fast. I dart out, banging on doors, yelling, "There's a fire, everybody get out!" 

People are yelling and screaming as they see the flames dancing around the whole level. It isn't long before the evacuation alarm turns on, and we all go running for the exit. I have lost my parents, but just make sure that I am headed for an exit. 

There are so many swarming bodies, I am just moving with the crowd. We all get to the stairs, and before I can start climbing, I hear somebody call, "Natalie!" 

"What?" I yell back. 

"Natalie help!" It's Blake. 

I go running against the crowd, until I spot him trying to hold his Mom up. They are lagging behind the rest of the group, and the fire is barely ten feet behind him. 

"Let me help!" I tell him, grabbing her other arm. 

We start moving faster, and catch up to everyone else. Some people let us move up farther, seeing his unconscious Mom. 

"We got out late, but she breathed in a lot of smoke." He huffs, carrying her farther up to the stairs. 

"I know, Blake, I caused the fire. Jeanine got into my room, and I burst into flames. This is all my fault." I stutter, spotting the exit ahead. 

"It isn't your fault. It was Jeanine. Come on, let's get her out." He responds, as we approach the door. 

Some other people help carry his Mom upwards, and we spot an area where people are getting oxygen masks. "Let's bring her over here." I tell Blake, leading us. 

There are paramedics attending to everyone, and somebody comes and takes her from us. 

When she gets her oxygen mask on, I talk to Blake, "I am so sorry. I really hope everybody is okay. I promise I will come check up on you in a few minutes, but I need to find my family." 

I run through the crowd, yelling, "Tris! Mom! Tobias! Dad! Uriah?" My list goes on, until someone yells for me. 

"Natty? It's Nadia!" She yells. 

I jump up higher, propelling myself with a  gust of wind, and see her jumping up and down a few feet away. 

I run over to Nadia, engulfing her in a hug. "Is everyone okay? Where is our family?" 

She grins, "We are all over here, come on." 

I grab her hand, and we run through the humongous crowd of people that have come from the compound. I see everybody, my parents, aunts, uncles and cousins sitting in a group, comforting each other. 

"Guys!" I yell out, running to them. 

Uncle Zeke is the first to grab me, spinning me in a circle. "Are you okay? Are you breathing alright?" 

I nod, smiling, "The fire didn't affect me at all... it was my flames." 

His eyes widen, and he sets me down, "How? Why?" 

I sit down, everybody looking at me for the answer. "It was Jeanine, she got into my room, and tried to hurt me. When she jumped at me, I burst into flames, which starting catching everything on fire. It was all my fault." I feel like crying, but I don't let myself. 

"It wasn't your fault Natalie Rose, it was all Jeanine." Uncle Will says, giving me a pitiful smile. 

I smile, even after causing such a horrific accident, my family is still supporting me.
