A/N: Disclaimer: I do not own any aspects of the Divergent Trilogy including characters, settings, etc. I decided to match many of the appearances of the characters to the movie versions instead of the books simply because I like their version slightly better especially when it comes to Eric. As for Uriah Pedrad, I have "cast" him as Booboo Stewart and Hana Pedrad as Catherine Bell. For other characters, I will tell you who I cast for them as they are introduced. Unfortunately, I do not have an actress for the main character because I could not find one that fit my vision of her so I will tell you she has strawberry-blonde hair, brown eyes, and fair skin. The beginnning of the chapter takes place about a year before Uriah and Tris' initiation. Please follow, favorite, and review. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to read this, I hope the author's notes will not normally be this lengthy. -Ellie:)

*A/N Update: I have decided to cast Rose (Pedrad) as Mia Wasikowsakea.

Chapter 1

"Shit, is she dead?" A young boyish voice fills my ears followed by a gentle kick to my leg.

"Shut up Uriah. She's not dead." Another boy talks, though he sounds much older.

"Zeke, put your shirt over her." I try to open my eyes enough to see their faces but my right eye refuses to open and the severe pain in the rest of my body causes me to squeeze my good eye shut. Apparently I make a noise because I hear gasps come from the two boys.

"See I told you she's not dead. We have to get her to the infirmary." My breaths become short and my nausea grows stronger but my breathing calms as I feel myself drift off into sleep.

I don't remember anything about yesterday or the day before that or even the years before that. All I know is that my body hurts and that I am in some kind of hospital; and that is about it. I don't even know my own damn name. I look down and realize that bruises cover my body, they darkly contrasts against my pale skin. A loud knock sounds at the door directly in front of my bed. A nurse walks in and glances down at her clipboard.

"Oh good you're awake." She smiles warmly at me and stands to my side. "I'm Nurse Alice, could you maybe tell me your name, sweetheart?" Shit. I close my eyes and try to focus on the years before but a white noise surrounds my thoughts.

"I don't know what my name is" I look down at my hands. A long silence passes between the nurse and I.

"You don't remember anything about your past life?" I shake my head despite the drilling feeling in my head. "Well, if it helps any, around the hospital we have been calling you Rose because of the birthmark on your wrist." She gently turns my left wrist to show me the mark she is talking about.

"That's a nice name" I try to give her a small smile.

"Do you know what happened to you Rose?" Her voice is cautious. I can't tell if she knows and she is testing me or she honestly doesn't know.

"No" She looks down at her clipboard nervously.

"Well when Uriah and Zeke Pedrad found you, you were naked and very close to death. When they brought you here, we got you all fixed up and gave you a physical exam. The physical exam told us that you had severe vaginal scarring, some that are up to three years old. We believed you were tortured and dumped here on purpose. Max is quite skeptical of your reason of being here and he would like to question you" She stays silent and lets everything sink in.

"Who is Max?"

"He is the leader of Dauntless. He will explain everything to you since you don't seem to remember." She holds out a stack of folded black clothes. "Here, I brought you some clothes to change into."

After I change into the clothes I follow Alice through the dark and cold hallways. We come to a door with no door handles. She looks up at a camera above the door.

"We are here to see Max. This is the girl who was found by the tracks." After a minute of us just standing there, the door finally opens. The nurse leads me to the office at the end of the hall. She knocks before opening the door. An older man sits behind the desk. That must be Max. A much younger man sits in one of the chairs. He has dark blonde hair, an eyebrow piercing, and two tattoos down his neck that look like stripes. They both stare at us as we walk in. The younger man looks me up and down and then his face twists in confusion. His stare breaks from me and moves to Max. He starts to ask Max a question but Max cuts him off.

"Eric, Our business here is done, why don't you walk out Alice on your way?" Max speaks with authority and Eric obeys but not before awkwardly staring at me again. Once the door closes behind them Max motions for me to sit down, "So do you have a name?" his voice is not as friendly as it was a couple minutes ago.

"Rose" I'm trying to keep my answers concise.

"What are your intentions of coming here Rose?" He narrows his eyes at me.

"My intentions" I am completely confused now.

"Who sent you here?" I start to get a little angry at his interrogation.

"Look, No one sent me here. Well, I don't think. I don't remember anything about myself or anyone else before today so would you please stop treating me like a fucking terrorist." I didn't mean to let the f-word slip but I guess I got my point across because Max stops narrowing his eyes at me.

"So you don't know which faction you came from?"

"What the hell is a faction?" Max stays silent for a while and sits back in his chair.

"I'll have Hana explain it to you. Hana Pedrad is the head of the household you will be staying with until you are sixteen-years old. Here in your file it says you are about fourteen so you have two years." He turns his attention away from me and back to his computer. I sit there awkwardly not knowing what to do or think of this all. "Leave. Hana should be waiting for you outside." He barks impatiently. God, I do not want to get on his bad side but I think I already am.

I walk back down the long hallway and the door automatically slides open as I approach it. An older woman stands outside the door. Once she sees me she smiles slightly. "Hi, I'm Hana" she waves me to follow her. "My sons were the ones who found you" I smile politely at her and mutter a thank-you. She explains the factions and the choosing ceremony to me. We arrive at her family apartment and she shows me to her oldest son, Zeke's room who went through initiation a year ago and moved into his own apartment. Hana tells me her other son, Uriah will be going through initiation this upcoming year. I look around the small, dark blue room once she leaves me by myself. I lie back on the bed and stare up at celling. This is home now.

2 years later

"Are you nervous about tomorrow?" Uriah smiles teasingly and I can't help but smile back.

"No." I laugh because he won't stop staring at me. Four and Zeke try not to pay attention to us and focus on their video game but it's kind of hard when Uriah is loud and is constantly touching me. I know it's kind of weird that I live with his parents and we are messing around but he has his own place so it's not like we live together. Hana doesn't exactly know I stay with him most nights, she thinks I am staying with Tris, Four's girlfriend.

Uriah pulls me by my waist into his lap and kisses me. He has no shame. Zeke and Four are sitting right next to us and he is trying to do this right now. I pull back and see Four blushing and Zeke's disgusted look on his face. Four isn't very comfortable with public displays of affection. He and Tris, only sometimes hold hands but that basically all we see. "Get a room" Zeke comments but doesn't take his eyes off the screen. Uriah kisses me again just to spite Zeke. I stand up from his lap. I'm not really in the mood right now. I can't stop thinking about the Choosing Ceremony tomorrow.

"What?" Uriah asks obviously confused why I didn't want to kiss him anymore.

"Do you guys think I'm ready for Dauntless initiation? Anytime I ask you guys to spar you always go easy on me." I'm not sure I can fight nearly as good as the other Dauntless kids.

"No we don't" Zeke says with a smile on his face.

"Yes you do." I pout and sit down on the floor in front of the couch. Uriah gets up from his seat.

"Alright let's fight." He holds out his hand to help me up. I smile and take his hand. I don't hesitate at all and punch him hard in the stomach though he doesn't seem to be really phased by it. I see a small smile pull on the corners of his mouth as he knocks me onto the couch and starts playfully kissing my neck. I hear Zeke and Four laughing in the background. I push on Uriah's chest.

"You never take anything seriously." I push him off of me.

"Calm down Babe. You'll do fine." I go back to pouting when Zeke asks me if I know if Max decided whether to put me with Dauntless or Transfer initiates. Four decides to answer for me.

"Max is putting her with Dauntless born initiates if she chooses Dauntless tomorrow." He gives me a sad look. I look down at the ground trying to collect my thoughts. I try to smile despite my thoughts.

"Uh, I'm getting pretty tired. I think I'm going to go home." I get up and start to walk toward the door.

"I'll come with you" Uriah gets up and catches up next to me. "Bye guys" he waves to Four and Zeke as we leave. He wraps his arm around my waist once we get into the narrow, cold hallways of the Dauntless Compound. "Hey are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired" I rub my eyes and pretend to be groggy. I stop in front of my door and Uriah stands in front of me.

"Do you want to come to my place?" He is somewhat serious for the first time tonight.

"No, I think I'll pass tonight. I just want to go to bed." I rub my eyes again.

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow night though, right?" He smiles as he walks away. I nod and give him a small smile. I honestly have no idea what I am choosing tomorrow.
