7.

Quin and I start to head out of the canteen. ''Are you all friendly again or something?'' Quin whispers, while Nadine walks behind us. ''Who?'' I ask. Quin rolls her eyes and points behind her. ''You and Nadine.'' ''Oh... I guess so. She is starting to act all giggly again.'' I answer. "I don't know either." ''Hm...'' Quin says, when Nadine runs over to us, laughing. She hooks her arm with mine. ''Hey you guys, what were you doing?'' She smiles. I pull my arm out of hers. ''Nadine... Dauntless.'' I warn her. Nadine looks at her arm. ''Oh. Yeah. Of course.'' She says.

For some reason, the Pit is overly filled. People are standing in rows. I ask myself what's going on? Quin pokes me in the side. ''Where are the others?'' She asks. I lift my shoulders. ''I don't know.'' "We have to find them." Quin panics, but I pull her arm. "No, Quin. What if something strange is going on? They'll save themselves." But Quin is still panicked, and runs over to a random place where Eric for some reason jumps in front of her. She gasps and stands still. "Quin... What a surprise." He says. Quin frowns at him, but gasps as she gets something in her neck. "What is that?!" She says, gritting her teeth. "Nothing special. Just continue walking." He says. He heads for me. "Hello there, beautiful." He says and pushes the content in my neck. It hurts. So bad. But I stay strong and walk further. What the hell is going on?!

Rows. Everyone is placed in rows. Guns are getting hand out, and I can feel my heart beating in my chest. Everyone is staring emotionless in front of them. Except for me. And I think I might know why. Because I am Divergent. I just know it.
My gaze turns towards a man in the middle. Asking for what is going on. Divergent. But before taking another breath, the man gets shot. My eyes grow big, but I stare emotionless in front of me just like the others. Keep pretending, Demi. This is something dangerous. Keep focused.
After a train ride of emotionless glares, we stop. At Abnegation. Why the hell at Abnegation?! I keep walking further, and I keep pretending. It's distracting, how Nadine is walking to my right. Shoot. But something hits my arm. And again. It takes me short to realize it's her. Nadine. Divergent. All this time... "What is going on?!" Nadine whispers. I keep looking in front of me but whisper back: "Just. Keep. Pretending."
If my heart is going to beat faster, I think I'll vomit it out. I have never felt so scared since the Choosing Ceremony... Dauntless start to push and pull Abnegation... Children are getting taken. All by my own faction... Dauntless are getting a commando. Keep your guns pointed at them. Mimic them, Demi. Keep pretending. 
As they let us walk further in a row of black clothing, we slowly walk onto the grey gravel paths. Nadine, Quin and I are in the back. Abnegation people are getting pushed down on their knees. Max and Eric place us all in front of a couple kneeling Stiffs. As I turn around, I notice one face. Small, light-blonde hair, round face. It only takes me one second to realize who it is. The one who is, or was, in love with my best friend Bryan. Grace. My friend from Amity. No. They are not going to let me shoot her, are they? But it's too late, as I see the other Dauntless pull up their gun, and the Abnegation are looking at the ground. Terrified. Just like Grace... In my left eyecorner, I can see Quin, staring emotionless at the Abnegation in front of her. Ready to shoot. Her finger is on the trigger, with the urge to pull it. Just as the Dauntless around me. I lay my finger on the trigger. No no no no. Later I'll have to too, and then I'll shoot my friend. The Dauntless almost want to pull the trigger. But then, something happens...
I hear Quin's gasp next to me, and a sigh from my right. Nadine. She totally relieved. So am I. We were almost going to shoot Grace. Maybe even best friends she made here. Christina, an initiate this year, lets out a too big gasp from shock. I understand that. But I was scared. Because if we had to shoot them, then I maybe even didn't want to and then they would notice I am awake and then...you get the story.
My heart could beat out of my chest any moment, but I am relieved. What the hell stopped us?! And what the hell was even the meaning of this?! Dauntless attacking Abnegation? No. This couldn't be Dauntless' idea. Dauntless and Abnegation are even. Right? Quin walks over to us, still shocked and little teary eyes. ''G-Guys?'' She stutters. I nod, letting her know it's okay. She looks around, and she runs over to him as she sees Keith.
Eric and Max are gone. I don't know where they are. But we get lead by Tori Wu, the lady who gave me my tattoo. ''Um... Okay, guys. Let's bring you all to Candor, for your own safety.'' I have no idea what is going on, but decide to listen to Tori. Let's all go to Candor.

Bryan. goes through my head. Let's tell him what happened. It happened in just one smack, a little amount of time. I know other Abnegation people are already dead. Slaughtered. But I know who's behind this. Not Dauntless. No, only a smart person could invent such a thing like this. A simulation like this. Erudite. Jeanine Matthews. It's all because of her. I encouraged Grace to run away to Amity. She is there now, hopefully. I bet Johanna picked her up very well. I know that it is rebellion, running away from your own faction. But I don't even know what side I am on anymore. Because I am Divergent. I know I am not brave, nor kind. Those two are huge differences.
Candor is more busy than before. Maybe because all the Dauntless are there now. The first thing I do as I step into the building, is looking around. Look for Bryan. And Jamie Martinez. Jamie... He is Cameron's older brother who choose Candor two years ago. I know Jamie. He is also a friend of mine, and I was friends with him before he left.
Luckily I spot Bryan fast, at a bookshelf. As he sees all the Dauntless, his mouth falls open. But he runs over to us. ''Demi? Nadia?'' He asks. Quin next to me frowns at Bryan, but I bet she understands. ''Bry!'' Nadine cheers. She embraces him, so do I. ''What are you all doing here?!'' Bryan asks dumbfounded. I lift my shoulders. ''Something happened at Abnegation... It's hard to explain... But, Tori told us we should go to Candor.'' I explain. Bryan frowns, but he looks around, searching for something. Someone. Oh no. ''Where is Cameron?'' He asks. I knew it. Shoot. I should tell him. I have to. There is no other option. ''Yeah... About Cameron... H-He is...'' ''Dead. I killed him.'' Nadine finishes. Wow. I didn't expect that. Bryan's eyes grow big as he looks at Nadine. ''Y-You killed him?! Why?!'' He asks. ''I wasn't myself.'' Nadine answers, with a sad glare. A person appears on Bryan's side, just to know that his face almost looks like Cameron's. Jamie. Cameron's brother. ''A-Are you saying t-that my b-brother is d-d-dead?!'' Jamie asks, with a shaking voice. I glare at him, and nod sadly. Jamie's eyes become watery, but he keeps himself in from bursting out. Jamie keeps glaring at Nadine with a mad glare. ''No.'' I say to Jamie, and he immediately steps back. But he still keeps glaring at Nadine as if he can attack her any moment. So I decide to start a conversation. ''Still... Good to see you back, Jamie.'' I say. He nods at me. ''You too, Demi. It's been two years now.'' He says. I nod. From my eye corner I can see Quin glare at Bryan and Jamie, totally confused. I smile at her. ''Um, these are Bryan and Jamie from Amity. Bryan, Jamie, this is Quin. She is my friend from Dauntless. And that...'' I point behind Quin. ''is Keith. He was supposed to be friends with one hell of a bitch at Dauntless. But after she and the others left because they failed the initiation, that is where he didn't have an option to become friends with us. It's a weird story.'' Bryan and Jamie smile at Quin, then Bryan looks at me. ''So... What now?'' Bryan asks. ''Indeed, why are you all here?'' Jamie asks. I sigh. ''We just have to. Dauntless seems out of control.'' I say. ''But I think it'll do.'' ''We should go to Amity.'' Nadine next to me says. I turn to her. ''What? Going back to Amity?!'' I ask. She nods wildly. ''I mean... Don't you miss little Luna?'' She tries to hit me. And it works very well. I indeed miss little Luna. And Maisie. And Johanna. But I think I know who Nadine is talking about. Charity. Now Dauntless is all messed up, she wants to go to Charity. I sigh. ''We will soon, Nadine.'' I say. She sighs but nods at me. Carrie and Mason also stand with us, inspecting Bryan and Jamie with lifted eyebrows. ''Be nice guys.'' I warn them. Carrie lets out a chuckle. ''Be nice?! Come on, look at them!'' ''Then what, they are Candor. It's always better than some arrogant Erudites. I say. Carrie lifts her shoulders, but keeps quiet.Quin throws me a glare, so does Keith. ''Hey!'' She says. I giggle. ''Sorry. Not in that way.'' Quin giggles and smiles back. She is in a good mood, as if she haven't had such friends before. ''These are Carrie and Mason, by the way. They are Dauntless borns. They were in the same initiate year as me.'' They nod at each other, but don't say a thing. ''So, what now Demi?'' Carrie asks. I lift my shoulders. ''Wait?'' She lets out an annoyed sigh. ''Waiting for what?'' ''Waiting for something different to happen.'' I answer. Carrie looks at Mason, bored. Then she walks over to a table and sits. I also want to sit, but I also want to talk. We have a lot of catching up to do. A lot.
