CHAPTER ONE :

"Run Beatrice!" Mom screams at me before she got shot. But this time, it was Jeanine who shot her. Not some random guy I never even met. I see my father and Caleb on the floor with fresh blood seeping out of their heads. Just like mom, they were shot. "Give me the file little girl!" Jeanine screams at me. "I don't have it." I say. "You liar. Did your parents teach you how to lie? How selfish of them." When she was about to shoot me, I woke up. It has been ten years since my family died. I was five then.

I checked the time on my alarm clock and to my surprise, It's seven am. Great. I'm late again! It's the third time this week. I sprinted out of my room and into the bathroom to shower and got dressed. I ran down the stairs and grabbed bread out of the toaster. "I'm leaving Aunt Edith!" I shout. "Be careful!" she shouts back.

Other kids say I'm rich because I have body guards twenty four -seven. To be honest, I don't know why either. All I know that I hold something important. So important that when it goes in to the wrong hands, it could destroy humankind.

My parents even died for it.

My parents were agents for the government. They found out about a file that contains top secret information that only my parents knew what danger it could do until Jeanine Matthews found out about it as well. Since Jeanine was an Erudite leader, she want to know everything. She always wanted to know what's beyond the fence. And she will do everything in her will power just for that.

Three weeks after my surgery, Jeanine's henchmen busted in the house and searched the whole house for the file. Since they couldn't find it, they killed my family right in front of me. They were about to kill me too but if it weren't for the Dauntless, I'm as good as dead now. Since then, my aunt Edith took me in and trained me to fight, throw a knife and everything the Dauntless does. For what reason; Because I belong to Dauntless now.

"Hey Tris!" Ivan shouts at me when I was running towards the second car of the train. "You overslept too?" I ask. "Yup and besides I have to watch over you everyday remember?" He says. "Oh yeah. I tend to forget that my aunt chose you as one of my guardians." I grabbed hold of the railing and pulled myself in the moving train and Ivan follows.

When I see the school building, Ivan and I jump out of the train and we land on our feet and we sprint towards our class, Homeroom.

"Good Morning Ms. Prior and Mr. McIntyre." The teacher greets.

"Good Morning Ma'am." We both say in unison.

"Take your seats." She says and we follow.

"As you all know, Prom season is coming up and we must prepare for it." The Amity and some of the Dauntless and Candor girls seem excited while the rest just groans including me. "I know a lot of you are excited and some just think that this is useless, but let's think of this as a way of showing peace to the other factions by mingling and dancing together." Every year, the Dauntless hangs up the banners and of course food. The Dauntless cake is a must have at prom. Amity is in charge with the prom invites and flyers. The Erudite plans the actual event, the Abnegation is in charge of the clothing so that everyone is wearing the same type of dress but you can spice it up if you want, and the Candor is in charge of the entertainment. The only thing that changes is the theme every year.

"Our theme this year is 'Fire'" All the Dauntless guys suddenly got excited once they heard the word 'fire'.

"Okay since that is all there is to discuss, Class dismissed!" and everyone flies out of the room.

Lunch came and I sat on the Dauntless table with Marlene, Uriah, Lynn and Ivan. I see Uriah's fingers intertwines with Marlene's. "You two dating now?!" I practically screamed. "Yep." Uriah answered with a smile. "How? When? Where?" I asked. "Woah! Chill out Tris! They just made it official this morning when you were still sleeping." Lynn says with a smirk playing on her lips. "Well, I'm sorry I overslept." I say. I can see the sixteen year olds on one corner of the room getting ready for their aptitude test. "Oh right. Today's the aptitude test." Ivan says. "Yeah and tomorrow's the choosing ceremony." I say. "We have one year to think about this. We have one year to decide on whether to transfer or stay in Dauntless." Uriah says.

….

I went home tired and exhausted and Uriah's words kept repeating itself in my mind and once I reached my room, I literally slumped down to the bed.

"Tris? Can I talk to you?" Aunt Edith says.

"Sure."

"I think it's time for you to know the real reason why you had that surgery and why your parents died." She started. I stare at her confused.

"You had that surgery because your parents hid that file inside you. They had it implanted in you so that Jeanine won't easily have it. Jeanine killed your parents because they won't give her the file. That's why you have body guards protecting you."

"So, you're saying that this file is inside of me right now and I have to be kept alive so that Jeanine won't access it? What if I die? Are they going to take the file out of me and implant it in another person?" I say.

"Your parents didn't have a choice they did that to protect the city."

"But why me? Why didn't they dispose of it? How important is the file that they had to keep it" I exclaimed. I don't know what's happening. I have no idea on why they chose me of all people. And most importantly, What file could possibly be so important?

"Tris, listen to me. This file contains the key of the gate that surrounds us and an activation code of a nuclear bomb. That our ancestors built and used against the government. This bomb is so strong that it could wipe out half of the human population. That's why I had Ivan to be one of your guards."

"So Ivan knew this way before I did." I say, she nods. I still have one question still lingering in my mind.

Why me?
