NPOV
People say the Dauntless are free, I don't agree with that. No one in this city is free. We are like caged animals kept inside by this huge wall. When I get older, I'm going to get out and be truly free.
The Erudite released another article today about the recent kidnappings. Two more people went missing last night. A boy my age from Abnegation, and a woman from Amity. There is no connection between the victims. There never is.
Always taken from different locations, different times, different ages. My parents are paranoid my brother or I will be taken on our way home from school. We are Dauntless, and always travel in packs. No kidnapper would dare take someone with so many eyes watching.
The article says the kidnappings are random, but I think differently. Most of the people taken are from Abnegation. Where the most Divergent's are. Not one Erudite have been taken. This leads me to believe they are after the Divergent's. I don't dare to tell my parents this, they are Divergent. So am I. So is my brother.
My brother James in two years older than me. He has my fathers dark slightly curly hair, but my mothers grey blue eyes. We couldn't be more different. I have my mothers hair and hight. Mixed with my fathers dark blue eyes. James is 16 this year, he will choose a faction. My parents are confident he will stay in Dauntless. So am I. Dauntless is where he belongs.
They are worried about me though. I don't really belong anywhere. Some people may say I'm the black sheep of the family.
The sound of a train horn pushes me out of my thoughts. I am standing on the train platform next to Conner, Jake, and Jenn. James and Seth are up ahead. Seth is James age and Conner is a year older than me, their parents are Zeke and Shauna. Jake is my age his parents are Uriah and Marlene. Jenn is a year older than me her parents are Christina and Will. We have all grown up together. The boys are like my protective brothers, and Jenn is like my older sister. I tell her everything.
The tracks rattle on the ground a sign that the train is very close. Wind whips through my hair as the first car whizzes by. James and Seth start to run I watch as they haul their bodies into the open car. Screaming for us to hurry. Before I know it I'm standing alone at the platform. My friends retreating bodies in the distance. The sun set obscuring my view. Jake tells my to hurry.
That's the last I see of them as their figures disappear into another train car. My legs start running before my head can comprehend it. I love the feeling of running. An open car just a few feet in front of me. As my hand reaches up for the handle something hard and strong grips collides with my body. Tipping my off-balance. My body slams into the ground, hard.
Before my mind can comprehend whats happening strong heavy hands grip my arms. A scream erupts from my mouth. I kick my legs backward. They hit something hard a groan from behind me. Suddenly a cloth is wrapped around my mouth and nose. It smells funny, like chemicals. My legs give way beneath me, the world is spinning. Black patches encircle my vision.
Then nothing.
TrisPOV
"What do you mean, she can't just be gone?" My voice loud and tense. How can someone just disappear into this air.
"Tell me again what happened" Anger now showing. Jenn spoke first;
"The train came James and Seth jumped on first," I look at my oldest son his eye's are on the ground. Just this morning I warned him about protecting her.
"Then Conner, Jake and I took off after the train. I thought Nat was right behind me. I di-" Her face is red and blotchy, tears in her eyes. I immediately feel bad. Conner continues the story
"We heard her scream in the distance, and then a thumping, like someone had hit the ground. James-" He looks over at my son.
"I jumped off first, but there was nobody in sight. Just gone almost as if she was never there to begin with." His eyes still on the ground, shoulders slumped. I lift his head, and look into those eyes that match mine. They are red and puffy tears still in them.
"Did you find anything?" He doesn't say anything just pulls a black backpack out from behind him. Silence fills the room, no one dared to speak. I pace the small dark room trying to find the best solution.
" All of you go home tell your parents what's happened. Then we will start the search party. She will be found." Once the room is empty I let the tears fall, cascading down my face. Familiar warm arms encircle my body. Tobias. He hugs me to his chest, the smell reminding me of safety. His shoulders shake. We cry silently together for a long time until Tobias whispers in my ear
"We will find her." That's a promise. I hug him tighter.
I know this chapter was short, sorry. I promise the others will be longer. Please R&R
