This story is starting to become like...not for the faint of heart.

~ Narrator/Author's POV/Flashback ~

At the time, an eleven year old Eric stood in front of nine year old Stormy; who just so happen to be cussing him out.

"So listen here you little fück-"

Eric watched amusingly as the midget continued to fume at him for whatever he did wrong. He thought that he should be the one fuming at the girl who simply could not find the absolute value of -8x but he didn't. He found himself respecting her for standing up for herself and raveling about some type of mathematical rule.

Maybe she wasn't a hard headed Dauntless after all, Eric pondered to himself.

Finally tried of Stormy's brave little rant, he plopped down onto the grass and huffed.

"Time for the next problem," Eric spoke gruffly, not only tired from his home life but tired from everything that had occurred in the day.

"I'd rather kill my father," Stormy replied bluntly. Huh, typical Dauntless.

This caused Eric to loose his temper.

"Don't you dare say that you little sh¡t!!!," He roared at her.

Visibly Stormy shrunk at the sound of Eric's tone for it resembled her father's so much.
Eric, still thinking of the time where he was close to murdering his father, started to pack up his book bag and slung it over his shoulder. He stomped off leaving a confused yet intrigued little girl behind.

Third Person POV

With a depressed state of mind, Storm laid in her bed mentally lifeless as she recalled the events from the past year and three days.
This, was one of the effects of the transmute serum.

A shrill scream suddenly erupts from her larynx causing her knees to come up to her chest and her eyes to forcefully shut. Another memory was been unkindly delivered into her brain by the mutant serum.

The bedroom door to her and Eric's apartment flys open revealing Eric, who was in the another room working. His eyes widened as he saw his love writhing in her own pain. Instantly he rushed towards her side and turned her over so she was facing him.

"Stormy," He called while shaking her.

Her eyes peeled opened. But instead of a dark mesmerizing blue, he found blood red eyes. Out of pure shock his hands loosed from her shoulders sending Stormy back onto the bed. (A/N oh my...😭😭)

Eric knew what was coming next.

Stormy slowly got off of the bed and looked around the room; just as her eyes fell on Eric.

"You!" She booms. "You ruined my life!"

In Stormy's eyes, Jason Matthews stood In front of her. Every memory from Erudite entered her mind causing her pure hatred and hostility to grow stronger and stronger.

Eric wondered who she saw instead of himself, he took a step back as she took a step forward.

"Stormy," he says slowly approaching the helpless girl. Eric saw confusion flash through Stormy's eyes but it was soon returned by the unknown hatred.

Momentarily, Eric's voice came from Jason's mouth causing Stormy to become reluctant.

What's going on?

By now, Eric stood In front of Stormy, towering over her small frame.
He spoke the heart wrenching words that Eric knew would snap her out daze.

"Look at me and tell me you want to kill me,"

Stormy's POV

Darkness was what surrounded me. Panic was not needed though, this darkness was now familiar to me. My oxygen was cut to a minimum causing me to slightly suffocate.

My eyes fly open, only to be met by light available only from the leader quarters.

My body felt inconvertible, like I was pinned downed onto the bed. I soon realized that the restrain was actually a massive inked arm.

I slightly squirmed around in order to escape from his grasp; of course, I failed.

"Stop moving," Eric growled in a husky voice sending chills to run down my spine.

I soon managed to turn around under his grasp. Facing him, I embarked in his...Eric-ness? Yeah, let's go with that.
I pecked his nose just his eyes opened.

"Good morning," I greet smiling while staring into his eyes.

Eric's eyes where something I could just something I could just never get over. They where a light blue but close to grey. The type of grey that was really unusual and unique in eyes. Me yes are the window to the soul, but many people believe that he doesn't have one.

I, however, discovered the lost soul.

"Your to adorable for your own good," He tells me sending my cheeks to burn with fire.
My head rested against his chest; transfixed in his steady and strong heartbreak.

Beep! Beep!

I jumped up at the abrupt blare of Eric's alarm clock. A ringing started in my ears sending me to hug a pillow beside me. Muttering several profanities, Eric got up and turned off the alarm.
My heart started to thump faster and faster causing it's loudness to reach my ears.

"Stormy!" Eric called, snapping me out of my daze.

I nudged my head further into my pillow.

A rush of sadness overflowed through my body. It was an unnatural feeling that I truest despised. Some type of fear went through my veins; sending cold shivers to run down my spine. I sniffed into the pillow; despising myself even more because of this vulnerability.

The sound of Eric shuffling off of the other side of the bed reached my ears. Soon, he was right beside me, taking me into his lap as his massive arms snaked themselves around me.
"Your alright, baby." He murmured in my hair. "We'll be alright."

"What is wrong with me?" I found myself saying- or more like mumbling. Often it was like a switch. Like with just a flick of the switch all my strength and happiness instantaneously drains out of my system causing paranoia and depression to replace them.

Eric started to rub circles into the small of my back causing the ringing in my ear to go away and the shivers to slowly crawl away.

"I love you, Eric." I tell him randomly. He lowly chuckled, finding my sudden statement amusing, before kissing me behind my neck. "I love you too, princess."

~ Time Lapse ~

I was about to do the thing I strangely itched to do since I arrived to Dauntless.

Try my fear landscape.

My Erudite curiosity drove me to this spot, my Dauntless side wanted me to conquer my fears while shuddering from my cowardice state, and my Abnegation selflessness made me do this so I wouldn't be such a bother to others. Bother in the sense of always being watched, Eric along side Lilly had leader stuff to do, Noor had to watch the kids, Luke, Michael, Four, they had their own messed up situations.

I suddenly felt pathetic.

While shaking my head I grabbed the needle and shakily brought it up to my neck. My eyes screwed shut as I injected myself with the serum. I imagined the serum traveling through my veins as I leaned further into the reclined chair.

Let's do this

(A/N shaia lebeouf: JUST DO IT! Hehehehehe idk anymore)

Darkness; that was all that I could 'see'. A cold draft whipped through the air causing chills to have a race down my back.

Instantaneously I realized what fear it is.

It just didn't take place yet...

My feet suddenly lifted off of the ground and a sudden wind blew against me; knocking the oxygen out of my lungs.
I was free falling facedown into a blue void; an ocean. While sucking in a deep breath, I tightly shut my eyes as I approached closer and closer towards what awaited me down below.

The cold water seeped into my cloths and swirled around my body. I peeked through my eyelashes to find myself with perfect 20/20 vision underwater. A tingling feeling began to start in my throat. The lack of oxygen started to get to me; a rise of panic formed.

Calm, child. This is how they want you to feel.

Reluctantly I opened my mouth, causing all the water to enter my body, oxygen cut, a nauseating feeling overtook me as my heart palpitated

I gasped as oxygen returned to my lungs.

My eyes adjusted to the scenery before me; the familiarity of Zeke's  apartment returned to my brain as I tried to recalls everything before maturity(haha not really) set into me.

My name is Stormy Marie Caylen, I'm 17 years old, my home is the Dauntless faction, my original name is Sarah Eaton, and my loved ones are Eric, Tobias, Luke, Noor, Lilly, Michael, Zeke, and Uriah.
(THAT HUNGER GAMES REFERENCE THOOOO)

"Stormy?" A voice rang through my ears causing my head to snap up.
"Hmm? Yeh?"

Uriah laughs beside me and shakes his head before turning back to whatever his attention was towards before.

I followed his gaze and was taken aback to the person in front of everyone; Willow

"So anyway," she continues. "She acted as though we actually cared."

What a childish fear.

What's sad is that it never left me; the fear of abusing trust.

"You would think," Noor starts to speak. "That she would be a little bit brave." She suddenly scoffed as the words rolled off of her tongue. "Ha! Who am I kidding? She's got the bravery of a tree hugger."

One by one in the circle, each loved one, each friend; turned into a foe.

My heart rate was obviously wasn't at its normal pace, but it surprisingly wasn't high enough for this to become my fear. Instead of fear, it was confusion that I felt. Everyone in the circle and around the room began to become distortions. Like static in a TV, everyone's faces shocked in and out causing more confusion to fuse up inside me.

Suddenly the floor that was underneath me was removed and I was sent free falling into a dark abyss.

Finally, it came to an end. With a thud, I landed on a white tiled surfaces.

My blood ran cold as my new setting came into view in front of me. I was back in my old cell/bedroom back in Erudite, however, it looked more...tidier and more...clean.

I faced the bed in which I slept in every night and experienced the most excruciating tortures. My head slightly begin to spin as I stood where I was.

What fear yet a spike of confusion. My eyes took in everything differently. I saw the blank white wall, the bed, the door along its latches in a black and white manor. Not only was there black and white, but along the edges of the objects where red and blue hues outlining them.

My head began to spin as I took in the objects in front of me.

What was happening

Flashes greeted my eyes, unwanted images floated through my mind....it was Erudite all over again.
Negative thoughts, suicidal memories, they where all coming back just as I faded away, into a deep darkness....

(a/n)
YES! I am alive! *checks body* *pinches self* owwww

YES! I am very well alive :-)

So, I decide to end the chapter here because I distanced myself from my original plot waaaaaay to much..
