A/N: Hi everyone, this is my first Divergent fanfic for Myra. I felt that Roth didn't really portray her as an important character, but that there is a story for her somewhere. So here it is. Please enjoy~
Disclaimer: As always, i don't own any of these amazing characters. That's all Roth's deal.
Prologue
I am Erudite.
I love reading, love learning, love soaking up new information. I love those moments in the library where peace reigns and the only noise you can hear is the turning of pages. I love the time when other Erudites would pause to chatter over a cup of steaming coffee about the latest research or newfound data.
It was also where I met my Edward. With his inquisitive stare and those brown, brown eyes that sat beneath a furrowed brow every time he came upon something new he didn't not know there was a lot to love.
I love a lot about Erudite as well. But that was the old Erudite.
Jeanine is now the leader. And with her comes a new Erudite. A cold, bitter Erudite where if you do not know something you are worse than dirt.
There is no joy in learning now. It is considered a must.
And I can no longer find any love there. Even Edward cannot find peace amongst those books.
So we have decided to leave.
Hand in hand, we will choose a new peace.
A new place.
A new future.
I will no longer be Erudite.
But amongst the other factions, where do I belong? Amity is too cheerful, too blissfully ignorant. I could not stand their inane chatter. I cannot condone the frightful truths of Candor either. They are so noisy, so restless. Then there is Abnegation with their selfless ways. But they say that learning for the sake of quenching one's thirst is selfish and I cannot live that way. So all that is left is Dauntless: where the fearless, courageous and powerful belong. But do I truly fit in there?
My Edward says that Dauntless will do. But he has been training since 10. Out of curiosity of course. I would have done the same, but my body has no physical strengths. The most I can lift are a few books. Thus, can I really say I will fit there?
I do not know. I am curious as most Erudites are: to see how I will fare in such an environment.
I should've known better. Should've looked at the stats and data. Should've seen this coming.
As they say, Curiosity kills the cat.
And it sure as hell killed me.
Hope you liked it. Please R&R. All constructive criticism welcome~
Saffa-
