I Don't own Divergent or any of the characters, except for my OC's and some of the plot. The rest belongs to Veronica Roth.

First Fan fiction! This will be an Eric/OC fan fiction, because who doesn't love Eric? But please don't expect the character development to be fast, I like to take things slow and drag it out. Painful I know, but its worth it in the end. First chapter is split into two different sections, the first one is the POV of a scientist from, well I'll leave you to figure out, The second is where the actual story starts, but don't dismiss the first part because it will become important in much later chapters! Full blub is below:

Rose is a girl with no identity and a tragic past. When she appears out of nowhere in the Amity fields with amnesia, everyone including Jeanine and Eric become intrigued as to why she is here and how her memory become lost to start with. But with learning the mysteries of her past unlocks the possibility that Jeanine's facts aren't accurate and with this Eric starts to question his own past. With secrets and betrayals, it's hard to know who to trust, when you don't know yourself. Love could only makes things worse, especially when he is against your breed, but we don't choose who we fall for. Eric must find his true destiny whist Rose must hide herself from the darkness ever consuming her. With many twists and turns in the thorned stems that intertwine each other will they make it till the last petal falls?

Part One- We forget we can't be perfect

If there was ever a time when the world was at peace, I wouldn't know about it. Mother Nature is always disturbing the peace by moving and shaping the earth, creating thunderous storms and making every living thing a victim to her wrath. It is a constant battle between the living organisms here on Earth and Mother Nature, who formed it.

The creation of life doesn't always happen when a planet is formed. It has to be at the right distance from a star, be composed of rock, be large enough to have a molten core, the atmosphere must contain oxygen and carbon dioxide, water etc. all these conditions must be perfect in order to sustain life. With so many conditions more of often than not, life doesn't get the chance to form.

But it did on Earth.

Through the evolution of fauna and flora, Earth kept thriving. And for a while, we were winning against Mother Natures will to destroy us, but we struck a chord and she fought back, ending the dinosaur age and, many others along with it.

Luckily our ancestors survived and life continued to flourish again, after every attack Mother Nature throws at us. Human's evolved from the apes and that was when the era of the humans began. We conquered the centuries living on Earth, gathering knowledge and understanding, of the universe, learning from our mistakes and trying to maximise our time here on Earth.

But every age has to end, although this time it wasn't due to Mother Nature. It was ourselves.

Conflict is inevitable. Someone is always going to be up someone's back side and peace is just a metaphor to create hope. But of course we as humans, as scientists got caught in a theory, a theory that could improve humans, so we wouldn't destruct ourselves before Mother Nature could. We wanted to make everyone:

Smarter- Then lack of knowledge, would not lead to lack of understanding and disconnection among people, therefore excluding conflict, within this area.

More honest- So when a person has a problem with another, they are able to express how they feel. This eliminates suspicion within communities and hurt between loved ones.

More selfless- Our attention would be shifted from ourselves to our loved ones and everyone would become equal.

More kind- Preventing arguments and hostility towards your neighbour.

And to be more brave- To give others the courage to stand up for someone who cannot do so themselves, to live without fear and to act when you believe something is wrong.

Some believed others were more important than the rest, but I believed they were all of equal importance. So we made a decision, we created a serum. A serum that encompassed all of these dreams. It worked well on our lab rats and we gradually moved to apes and then human trials. It was going well and after the pressure from the government due to global warming, equality, poverty etc. we had to move forward quickly. Our job was to eliminate all of these problems human had created by improving them.

But of course Mother Nature decided to strike back for trying to defy her, although this time she didn't move the earth or the weather. She went to the core us. Our DNA.

It was sudden and we didn't see it coming. If we had only waited longer with the apes, then we might have seen it coming, but we didn't. So us humans did what we do best when we have a problem… we fought.

Conflict is inevitable and that is something I will never forget. Peace is an allusion. Ironic because the only thing that can save us is this allusion, because it creates hope. Hope that one day things will get better. It is this hope that we cling to, it is this hope that let the era of humans run for so long and it is this hope that destroyed us, because we thought that we could genetically improve our human qualities. Hope can be our salvation or our destruction, but if you use it correctly, beautiful things can happen. Because maybe peace isn't an allusion, maybe we can't have complete peace, but we can have unity between the people who we relate to, who we understand. Conflict may be inevitable, but we can try our best to make it as minimal as possible to keep this unity. And keeping this in mind is where we attempt to fix the past and find a way to live among those who we disagree with.

The human era may be coming to an end, but life always starts again, it is the cycle we live in. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but can be transformed or transferred. I believe that is the same with life. Our race may die, but our energy will be used by another species after us, who may become even more intelligent then we could ever be, who may take care of our Earth.

But for now, we live through our struggles because of our past decisions and we pray to something beyond science and our understanding. We pray to god, that he will forgive our sins and bring us everlasting hope, that we will make it to heaven. But to do so, we must change the path of our future to a much brighter one and the only way we can do that is by taking action. Because we humans do what we do best. We fight!

Rose

I open my eyes only to realise I'm outside. It's a clear day with no clouds in sight, I sit up suddenly. A throbbing pain rushes through my head. I reach a hand to my forehead to ease some of the tension when I feel something wet and sticky there. Removing my hand from my head I notice blood on my hands that wasn't there before. Was I hit in the head? If so why? All the questions that I can't answer until I realise I don't know where I am.

Where am I? There's tall crops surrounding me, I must be in a corn field probably on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I stand, trying to recall how I got here, nothing comes to mind. I try to remember the last memory I had before ending up here and still nothing. Who am I? Where did I come from? Typical, I got hit in the head and now I have amnesia and at the worst moment possible, how am I going to find human civilisation if I don't even know who I am?

"Hello, anyone here?" I shout as loud as possible, "I said is anyone here?" Nothing, I sigh. I suddenly hear movement in the crops and turn around as quickly as possible. A crow, of course it's a crow there's probably no one for kilometres. I turn back around and jump as I see a man standing in front of me. He's wearing a red plain T-shirt and faded yellow pants, an odd choice in colours. That's when I noticed I'm wearing the same colours but instead I have a red skirt that comes down to my knees and a yellow singlet matched with a red cardigan. They seem like they haven't been washed for a couple of days.

"Now what are you doing out hear young lady," the man asks with friendly smile.

"I don't know, where am I?"

"Isn't it obvious, why you're at Amity!" he bellows.

"Amity?" I question. I don't think he's realised I have no memory of who I am.

"You must have gotten hit in the head pretty bad," he says pointing to my head. "You should really get that checked, might have caused some damage."

I know it's caused some damage, I can't remember who I am!

"Is it alright if I asked for a ride? My memory seems to be failing me," I asked using puppy dog eyes. He looks at me for a moment but then smiles and leads me to his truck just around the corner.

"Right this way ma-dam," attempting to put on his best gentlemen voice, but failing miserably. "Johanna will know just what to do," why am I hopping in a stranger's truck, he could be a criminal for all I know! But he seems friendly and doesn't seem to pose any threat, not like I'm going to find anyone else out here anytime soon.

"The name's Jim, if you were curious," and with a wink he starts the engine as I head into the unknown, all I can have is hope that I wouldn't die in the process of finding my identity.

Hope, you enjoyed the first chapter and many more to come. Don't forget to favourite, follow and comment! I always enjoy reading them and replying. I try to update once every fortnight, I know that's a long time, but I have school and I'm busy. plus I'm not fast at typing, it takes me an hour to write 500 words. Anyways, thankyou for reading!
