A Divergent Story

A/N

Hi guys this is my first story! I am so excited, so please give me reviews on how I did. Okay now onto the story!

"Beatrice Prior."

I can feel my heart beating threw my chest.

I get up once I hear Marcus Eaton call my name.

I am so scared, today. Right now is the time I choose what faction I want to be a part of. Yesterday I took my test to see what faction I should be a part of. I got Abnegation… Erudite and Dauntless. I thought it was impossible until the person that administered my test, Tori, explained to me what I truly was, and that was Divergent.

I make my way down the steps and up to the five bowls that have items in them that represent each faction. I pick up the knife and slightly cut myself with it, Blood starts to fill my hand slowly, and I put my hand over that bowl that has the symbol of Abnegation. I do a double-take on if I want to be Dauntless or Abnegation. My breathing slows down as I move my arm two bowls to my left, one drop of my blood drops into the Dauntless bowl. I start hearing cheers from the Dauntless faction as I put the knife down and grab a bandage and head my way over to their section.

After the ceremony, I start to head out the door when I look to my right and see my parents still sitting, watching me with a sad expression on their faces. Once we get out of the building everyone in my new faction starts to run. I soon realize that they are running towards the beams that hold up the train tracks.

Uh oh. I can't believe that we actually have to climb those. I think to myself.

I just go along with it though and I start climbing one of the beams. I'm soon at the top of it and find myself right next to the tracks, next to initiates who transferred and Dauntless members along with Dauntless born. I hear the train's whistle as it turns the corner and gets closer and closer.

"Come on!"

I hear one of the Dauntless born yell to me. Everyone is starting to run ahead but next to the train. I start to run with them but I'm not as fast as the rest of them, but I try my hardest. I see people start to hop up on the train. Everyone is already up in the train when the last car is about to pass me, I sprint as fast as I possibly can. And then I grab ahold of the handle and pull myself up. My breath is heavy and fast but my heart rate is slowing down faster than my breath is.

I made it. I can't believe I actually made it.

"You made it. I'm Christina."

"Beatrice."

"Is it just me or are they trying to kill us?"

"Hehe"

Yay I actually made a new friend already. She seems really nice, she's wearing white and black clothes so that must mean she was Candor.

"Get ready."

Christina and I, along with the rest hear a Dauntless leader announce. Maybe that means our stop is coming up. So we decide to stand up.

I poke my head out of the train car. The all of a sudden I see someone jump out of the train. Followed by a dozen more.

"They're jumping!" I say to Christina.

"What?" She replied.

A little way's away we hear an Abnegation ask a Candor:

"What happens if you don't jump?"

"What do you think? You become factionless."

The last person besides Christina and I jump out and we're the last ones left.

"Together?" I hear Christina ask.

"Yeah." We step back as far away as we could. "One. Two. Three"

Then we jumped.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" We both screamed out.

I landed into a roll and got my clothes torn up and ripped.

"Huh, Hahahahaha." Christina laughs like a little girl on a playground that just witnessed something funny that happened. But it's a good laugh.

The rocks I landed on when I jumped feel like sand paper and knifes stabbing me over and over again in my legs and knees.

"Alright listen up! I'm Eric!" We hear one of the Dauntless leaders announce quite loudly. "I'm one of your leaders." Christina and I get up from the spot where we were sitting to over where a crowd starts to form. Christina stands to my right, she's about four-five inches shorter than me. "If you want to enter Dauntless, this is the way in." Eric looks down at the hole in the ceiling that's about five stories below where he's standing on the ledge. "And if you don't have the guts to jump, then you don't belong in Dauntless."

"Is there water at the bottom or something?" Everyone looks over to where an Erudite asks one of the Dauntless leaders.

"I guess you'll find out… or not" I look around to the crowd and see scared but yet curious looks on everyone's faces… except for mine.

"We just jumped and now they want us to jump again." I couldn't tell if what Christina said was a question or a statement.

"Well someone's got to go first who's it going to be?" Eric said without hesitation.

Everyone took a few steps back and looked around at everyone to see if someone was going to be brave enough to be the first one to find out what's in that dark hole.

After a minute of thinking I decided that I wanted to be the first jumper. "Me."

I walk forward just as everyone turns their heads to look at me. As soon as I am out of the crowd of initiates and Dauntless born, Eric hops down from the ledge and walks over to stand in front of the crowd. When he walks, he walks so swiftly like he's not afraid of anything.

I eventually reach the ledge and place my hands on it to make sure I don't lose my balance as I look over ledge and see a small, dark hole with little light shining threw it.

Come on Tris, you volunteered for this now you have to be the brave one and jump.

I lean back and slowly start to take off my long coat and as I was taking off the last part, I hear someone say a smart remark.

"Yeah stiff take it off!" And as he lowers his voice he says "put it back on!" Everyone starts to laugh, but I just ignore them and focus on the task at hand. As I got my jacket off I take one last look over the ledge, and start to climb on it.

I stand on the ledge before I hear a voice; Eric's voice.

"Today initiate."

And with one last look, I forcefully move my head back up take a deep breath.

And then I jumped…

I land with a bounce.

It's a net. A net caught me after falling five stories.

I start to slow my breathing and my heart rate. I close my eyes for a split second and open them back up to see little black figures pop out over the ledge.

I stay there for a moment thinking about what I have to do next now that I actually jumped.

And then I felt a pull, the weight of the net dropping on my left side which made me slide slowly almost off the net. And then once I turned my head to my left, I see him…
