This is my first ever fanfic. So I hope it goes off with a bang. This is actually the second time I have started. I accidentally deleted the first. So I forgot what I originally wrote. Basically in this version of Divergent (Which I do not own) the war is avoid but something worse that that happens, and a Dauntless legend is rediscovered. I hope you enjoy this twist on a story we know and (hopefully) love! ~E

'I can't believe I just did that.' I tell myself for the millionth time today. I look back at the moving train I just jumped out of as it continues to race away. I made it out of that with all my limbs! And landed on my feet with minimum pain! I'm not even scraped. I could totally pass for a Dauntless!

The sound of a mechanical whirring starts to over power the sound of the train sliding away. Shoot, the new Erudite drones are faster then the beta ones I faced in the lab.

I start to run across the rooftop I landed on, my legs burn and lungs rasp from all the running I've previously been doing but I manage to keep pushing myself.

This roof feels familiar but I don't know why. I don't know much actually. I think they whiped my memory when they had me. My name is Rea. I know that. I am 'divergent'. (No idea what that means but it was vital where I came from.) I am 19, and I am dangerous. That is my favorite fact, that I'm glad I remember, because danger means fear, fear means strength, and strength mean survival.

I stopped at the edge of the building and looked into a deep, black pit. I've been here before. An urge cries out in me to jump. But if I'm wrong and it's just a weird shadow that means death, but then again, if I just stand here that means death too.

I close my eyes, take a breath that could very well be my last, and jump.

Today was the best day I have had in a long time. Which is saying something in light of everything the government has been throwing around at my old faction, Abnegation. I sat next to Tobias with Christina and Will across the table from me. Will was going on about his recent job guarding a shipment of Erudite serum to Amity.

"So apparently," He laughs, "they drug their bread! And that makes me wonder, what other pastries does this crazy world drug?"

Christina starts giggling and puts down her hamburger to kiss him on the cheek.

"That would explain a lot." Tobias said as he put his arm over my shoulder and pulled me to his side. "I mean otherwise why is this cake so addictive?" He sat staring at the little mound of dauntless chocolate cake on the end of his fork.

I lean into his warmth and whisper, "I don't think that is the kind of drug Will was talking about."

"Hmm..." He looked into my eyes and smiled, "Wishful thinking." before I knew it his mouth was on mine in a chocolate kiss.

Then the pit went silent. A room of eating Dauntless never goes silent. Tobias and I both pulled back confused. All eyes in the room seemed aimed at us, but we have kissed before, then I realized they were aimed at the girl standing behind us. I didn't even notice she was there. Odd. You would think you could feel somebody that close to you.

Eric stood up from his table and approached her. "What are YOU doing here?" His voice cut the silence like a knife to butter.

"I could ask the same to you." She hissed. "I thought you would have been found out and kicked out by now. Guess your smarter than a rock after all."

She turned around to us and muttered, "I thought I trained you better."

I looked at Tobias for answers but his stoic face gave me none, his eyes remained glued to here.

Jealously started to swell up in my stomach because although she looked dead now, her beauty was evident. She had a pretty face with high cheek bones, and smooth tanned skin that laid over toned muscles. Her hair was long and dark and curly, with two strips of color, on blue on the left and one line green on the right. She could get any guy here except she had jet black circles under her eyes and bruises that covered a majority of her body and her legs shook standing still. Yet she still looked like a weapon.

"Who is she?" I whispered to Tobias. It felt like I was yelling in the quiet though.

"She..." He sighed, "Is a legend. We know her has Two, who doesn't exist. She trained my initiate class. She is why the name Four didn't seem so odd. She disappeared the day we were officially Dauntless. Never made it to the after party. We were encouraged to never speak about her as a person but as a legend, and a lesson about cowardice."

That explains why the Dauntless don't know what to do. It's not everyday a legend come waltzing into the pit.

"Not only is she a Legend," he continued, "she's also a Dauntless bedtime story. To scare the Dauntless children into staying in bed at night. They said that she was so quite you would never know she was under your bed, until you stepped down and she slices you like cake, and the only thing that will tip you off that she was there is the blood of the victim, and the white blindfold she wore when killing him."

My eyes widen, "Is she really that bad?"

"Better question is, is she really that good? Yes. She took on all initiates my year, Dauntless born and not, blindfolded, unarmed, at once and won. She is a walking talking weapon."

I shuddered and he pulled me closer almost to shield me from her. Just then she whipped around and faced us. I let out a small gasp. Tobias didn't flinch. My good day began to roll downhill.

Subject: Rea, still unstable

"Thank you," I smile to the couple that was behind me, "I desperately needed a history lesson. I seem to have lost most of it."

"Lost it is certainly the term I would use." the handsome boy that the girl was melted into responded.

I couldn't help it. I lost it, and burst out laughing at the top of my lungs. When I regained composure the room continued to look dumfounded at me.

I smiled at him and he smiled at me.

"It's been a while, Four."

"Yea. I haven't been almost killed for no apparent reason in a couple years."

"Which reminds me why I came here, where ever this is," I mutter looking around at all the black clad people glaring at me, "They want me. I came to warn you To-"

Subject: Tobias

Condition: unknown

She started to say my real name and then broke into a wild fit of coughing, right there, 2 feet away from me. She looked so much less treating now it was crazy. She collapsed to her hands and knees and hacked and coughed blood onto the floor, that hit with a splat, which made me nauseous. Her arms began to shake and she let out a soft groan before dropping unconscious into the pile of her own blood. Her face fell right into it, and her hair seemed to soak in the mixture of blood and spit. The pit began talk again, as if the threat was gone.

"Come on." Tris stood, "She seems important, we should get her to the infirmary."

Unsure of what I just witnessed I stood, and helped her silently and obediently.
