Chapter 20

Tris' first simulation has stuck in her head, she has had nightmares and random fits of terror... I wonder if those visions will always stick in her head, or if she can find the will to forget them somehow. This is why Tris is so hesitant about entering her second simulation. This simulation has Tris in the dark Pit, surrounded by the other initiates and Four. She is in a glass box that starts to fill with water. They laugh, watching her drown.This simulation would probably be more difficult to forget and recover from because it contained people she sees every day, the simulation is so real that I think Tris could even start to believe that the other initiates are there to kill her, I predict that this simulation will make Tris very paranoid about her surroundings.
Tris soon realizes that her screams are of no use, she is in a simulation... I wonder if the other initiates realize the same thing in the simulations, that they are in a simulation. I wonder if it's just Tris that realizes it since she's divergent, or the others just take longer to realize it because they aren't. Tris forces the glass to break, the simulation ends. This is when Four also realizes something, Tris is Divergent!!! He deletes the footage that he is suppose to send to the leaders.... I don't know how the leaders won't notice that their is no footage on Tris, but it's their only option. Four tells Tris that she better learn how to hide her Divergent in simulations or she will end up DEAD in the bottom of the chasm!
What's so dangerous about Tris?? and how is she suppose to know how to not act when no one will tell her why Divergent is dangerous, I would be confused and frustrated if I was Tris, She needs to get answers ASAP, before she does something Divergent in front of the wrong person!!!
Tris does decide to go get some answers, from the only person she trusts right now, Tori. Tori leads her to the back of the tattoo parlor, and asks her about her simulations. Tris asks her what is means to be Divergent and Tori tells her this, "You are someone who is aware, when they are in the simulation, that what they are experiencing is not real. Someone who can manipulate the simulation or even shut it down. Someone who, because you are DAUNTLESS, tends to die." Like Tris wasn't already enduring the pain and risks of being a Dauntless, now she has a even slimmer chance of survival! Tori tells Tris that the Dauntless leaders don't know that she is Divergent yet, and they can't find out, or she WILL be killed. Tris doubts this method at first but Tori tells her that her brother was Divergent, they killed him, the last day of simulations because they found out, he couldn't hide it and he wasn't lucky enough to have Tori and Four looking out for him and deleting his footage, like Tris does. That's all the information Tori knew, Tris and I are still trying to figure out why manipulating the simulations is such a threat.. does it mean that Tris has more power then the leaders, because the leaders can't be Divergent...
 
"How many people know about this? About manipulating the simulations?" -Tris
"Two kinds of people, people who want you dead ot people who have experienced it themselves. Firsthand. Or seconhad, like me." -Tori
 
So we now know which one Tori is, but which one is Four?? He has to have experienced it first or second hand, because he sure doesn't want Tris dead, like he said, if he wanted to hurt Tris, he wouldv'e already done it.
