Lissa was rubbing her right temple as she tried to piece together who would have taken her sister and where and how they were going to get her back. The news had hit Lissa like a giant wave knocking her over and trying to suffocate her without a second thought for anything else. How could she have just? Why had Lissa trusted the Alchemists? Well, was it really them that she didn't trust or was there more to it? Her mind had already been hurting from everything she'd learned the night before about Adrian and Sydney, she knew that protecting them would cause some problems. She was happy for Adrian, she did want him to be happy, but it was still a lot to worry about, and it was still another problem that was now something that wasn't on her mind as the biggest thing was, was Jill okay? Where was Jill? Lissa knew that without Jill her time as Queen would end, but she was much more worried about where her half sister was and if she was okay than being Queen, she hated knowing that it was her fault that Jill was in danger.

"Well, we are going to have to talk to the--" She was about to say Alchemists when the next thing she knew she was holding the pen she'd been writing in her left hand, and her phone that had been in her pocket and she was waking up in a graveyard? She had to be dreaming, or someone who was really good at spirit had managed to pull her into a dream while she was awake. Was that even possible? It couldn't be possible could it? Lissa really wasn't sure and she really wasn't sure how or what she was doing. Where was Rose? Where was Christian? Where was she? How was she??

Jumping up she started blinking as she spun around. It wasn't until her eyes rested on the body of a girl, she couldn't be more than 16 or 17. She looked tough from her features, but she wasn't moving, she wasn't even... Lissa rushed over dropping to her sides as she could feel the girl was just barely hanging on. "No, this can't be happening." Her compassion started to override her knowledge that healing her could be dangerous. Lissa wasn't about to let this girl just die in a graveyard, especially if she'd been brought her out of no where like Lissa had been.

Summoning spirit, she felt the rush, the beauty, the calm nature of helping wash over her as she started to heal whatever this girls injuries were.

The fact that Tris had still been walking and talking at all by the time she reached David was impossible, but there it was. She could feel that heaviness, like death tugging at her, but somehow, she fought it off even as she talked to David. Stalling, she was stalling. She was trying to distract him as she backed toward the box that would release the memory serum. Finally, she was close enough and she turned.

David's fun went off. Once, twice, how many times? Tris' body was both numb and filled with so much pain she could barely breathe. There were dark sparkles dancing in her vision and she felt herself start to fall. It was only by chance that she managed to hit the right button on her way down to the floor. As she landed, Tris became vaguely aware of a dampness on her neck. It's dark, warm, sticky. Blood, she thought vaguely.

When she saw her mother appear from behind David, Tris knew she had to be imagining things. "Am I done, yet?" she asked anyway. Even then, she was worrying about her friends, about Tobias and Caleb, but Tris was tired and as her mother nodded and assured her they would be fine, she finally let herself close her eyes. Maybe she would just rest for a minute.

When Tris opened her eyes again, her surroundings had changed. There was a girl just a little older than her bending over her and as Tris looked around, she could see headstones, grass, dirt. A graveyard. I'm in a graveyard. "What- how did I get here?" she asked once she found her voice.

Letting out the air she'd been holding in as she saw eyes opening, Lissa could feel some of the stress and worry fade out of her, it was replaced with feeling slightly week that she knew was just going to increase as she tried to balance herself.

Lissa opened her mouth to try and answer the question, but the fact was, was that she herself didn't have a clue how they got to be where they were or why they were where they were. She looked around trying to gather any information at all, but from what she could tell... this wasn't exactly a well kept cemetery and looked as though it'd seen a lot of suffering... The whole feeling of the place was uncomfortable.

"I don't know." Lissa said as a puzzled look crossed her face. "I just... I just woke up here, and saw you and came to.." Telling someone who was clearly human that she'd just healed her and probably saved her life wasn't such a good idea. "Check to see if you're okay." Lissa finished slightly more awkward than she normally did. "I was just..." She started but didn't say anymore.

"I- I think I'm okay-" It didn't make sense to her. How could she be okay? She'd been shot, at least twice. When she closed her eyes, Tris had been sure she would never open them again. That should have been it. She should have been done. Instead, she was waking up here.

"I was in the compound and then I was- I woke up here. In this graveyard." Tris was confused by a lot of this. By waking up here, but the fact that she was okay. Even her old shoulder wound didn't hurt anything. It was as though every injury she'd had even more David shot her had been healed. No part of her felt any pain.

"I'm Tris," she said, pushing herself into a sitting position and pulling her knees up to her chest as she studied the other girl. "Thanks for checking on me, but I'm fine now, really. Are you okay?"

Sitting back as the girl told her that she was okay, even if it didn't make sense and Lissa knew that it probably wouldn't make a lot of sense to her. She just wanted the girl to be okay. Maybe she shouldn't have actually done what she'd done, but she couldn't just leave the girl sitting there looking like she was about to die! Lissa just couldn't besides she would never have been able to forgive herself in that case.

"A compound?" Lissa asked as she looked away for a second and looked up and around. "I was-" she paused stopping herself from saying she was at court. "-at home working on something and just woke up here." Lissa said feeling as though getting more information about where they could or could not be from would be worth trying to figure out too. Lissa didn't even want to think about what Rose must be doing knowing that Lissa had vanished too? Both Dragomir's vanishing? That wasn't going to be good... The chaos...

"It's nice to meet you Tris, I'm Lissa." She said with a soft smile. "I'm okay." She lied but managed a soft smile. "I'm just a little confused on how either of us got here."

"You and me both. Where are we, anyway?" she asked. Tris pushed herself up so she was standing, surprised at how good she felt. She was pretty tired, enough that sleep seemed like a really great idea, but she was otherwise fine. No pain anywhere, not even in her shoulder. It had been awhile since her body was this free of pain.

"I mean, it's a graveyard, obviously, but this doesn't even really look like Chicago."

Getting transported to some random place shouldn't have been possible. Was this all just some kind of simulation? Maybe that was it. Maybe she hadn't died. Maybe David had taken her somewhere and put her in a simulation instead.

"Other than being in a graveyard, I have no idea." Lissa said as she herself fully stood up trying to hide the fact that she might be a little bit weak right now. Explaining what had happened wasn't going to go over well, and given how strange this was already she decided not to over think it.

"I was in Pennsylvania the last I knew, so... I'm really not sure how any of this happened, or why we are in a graveyard." She muttered. "But if we are from two different areas..." Lissa said softly as she thought through what might have happened or how.

"I don't know." She said after a moment glancing back at Tris. "But maybe we should get out of the graveyard, it's kind of creepy." Lissa admitted.

"I was in- well, just outside Chicago and I haven't seen a graveyard like this in a really long time. Everything seems kind of.. old."

Tris nodded at Lissa's suggestion. "Yeah, that's a good idea." It wasn't that the graveyard was creepy to her, so much. She was actually kind of fascinated by it. But they probably weren't going to find many answers here. Getting out of here would hopefully lead to finding some clues about what was going on.

"That way?" she suggested, pointing toward what looked like an exit.

Glancing around Lissa wouldn't say it looked really old, run down, some of it was clearly old, but it looked more like it had never been taken care of which made her believe that it would look a lot better had it been taken care of. "It looks as though it hasn't been cared for at all." Lissa said shrugging a little bit.

Following the direction where Tris pointed she nodded. "It looks like the best option." She said with a small shrug. It did indeed look like an exit and she was pretty sure Tris wouldn't try and hurt her so she was okay.

"I think we are still in the US at least." Lissa said reading some of the names on graves and just a general feeling that she had.

It looked old to Tris, just in the sense that it wasn't like anything she'd seen in her time. This was like something out of the old books they kept at the compound. She let the comment go, though. There were more important things to worry about.

"The US?" Tris wore a puzzled frown at that. It had only been days ago that she'd learned there was a whole country outside of her city or that the city had a name. Chicago. She'd learned the named of other cities, though they had no real meaning to her.

"US. United States. That's what they called the country my city - Chicago - is in." It still sounded foreign to her ears, the idea of countries and the realization of just how big the world really was.

Lissa actually fully stopped walking and looked directly at Tris as her eyes got a little bit wider. She had no idea how to respond to that at first but she quickly recovered blinking and looking back towards the ground so she could start walking and making sure she didn't trip over anything.

"What year is it?" Lissa asked figuring it was the most logical question that she could as her. She didn't think that Tris would try and hurt her, but Lissa was getting a good feeling that things were really different from wherever she was from.

"Yeah, Chicago is in Illinois. I live in Pennsylvania. Both are in the United States...."
