Another Divergent Story

By: Kirah Jensen

Summary: What if Eric stayed in Erudite and he met the girl of his dreams, only to get her kidnapped by a group of Dauntless kids (Four, Tris, Uriah, Lynn, Marleen, and Max). I do not own the rights of Divergent, all rights belong to Veronica Roth.

Chapter 1:

Eric POV

"Eric Matthews." The Dauntless leader Max called out.

I slowly get up out of my seat in the erudite section and I wipe my sweaty hands on the dark blue pants I am wearing. 'Choose Dauntless. Get them on our side.' I slightly shiver at the thought. Jeanine is my Aunt and since today is my choosing day she thinks she can boss me around. "Why should I leave Erudite, when I can overrule her and take her job? But then again, she doesn't know I am Divergent." I thought to myself.

I take the knife from the dauntless man and I cut my hand, I wince slightly then place my hand over the Dauntless and Erudite bowls. "Dauntless or Erudite?" I ask my inner self. The blood stared to pool in my hand and I jerked my hand over the bowl of water, and my blood trickled in.

"Erudite." Max shouted.

The Erudite people clapped politely and I could feel my Aunt's eyes staring daggers into my soul. I sit down next to Peter, a Candor born who I think picked the wrong faction, and a girl in black clothes. She has blond slightly curly hair and grey eyes, which makes me think of the Greek goddess Athena. She noticed me staring, and she scoffed. "What are you looking at?"

I smile slightly, "You're in Erudite now, no need to act so dauntless."

"What's your name?" She asked rolling her eyes at me.

"Eric. Eric Matthews."

"Oh. Jeanine's nephew. I am Cassidy. Dauntless born. My parents were Erudite born." She said.

I smiled, she must be intelligent.
