Beatrice and I went home.

We went to the kitchen and started making dinner, well actually I did.

Mom, Dad, and Caleb were doing whatever.

Caleb got home first.

"Hey, Beatrice, Isabela." he said.

"Hi, Caleb." Beatrice said.

"Hey, bro." I said.

"So, why did you guys leave early?" asked Caleb.

"For some reason, Beatrice and I got sick from the serum." I answered.

"Well, that's weird." said Caleb.

"Yeah, it was." said Beatrice.

"So, what was your guys test results?" Caleb asked.

"What was yours?" I asked him back.

He didn't answer either.

Mom and Dad got back and sat down to eat.

I did the dishes after we ate. We ate silently.

"Guys, look." said Dad.

We all looked at our father.

He took Mom's hand and looked back at us.

"We love you. No matter what Faction you chose."

I dried my hands, and we all got in a family hug.

Caleb looked scared, Beatrice was crying, Mom was swallowing tears, and Dad had sadness and worry in his eyes.

Caleb stopped me from going to sleep.

"Isabela, you have to think of the family when you chose, but you also have to think of yourself." he said.

He knew that I would chose for the family instead of me. I put my family first.

I nodded and he let me go.

We all went to bed for a little sleep.

It took me a while to get to sleep, I was a bit restless.

Which Faction do I want to spend the rest of my life in?

Which one could I best protect my family in?
