A/N: Hey Divergents (My name for you guys)! This is my first fanfic so please support me as I write this! I am a HUGE fan of Divergent and hope you all are too! So… was anyone else also disappointed about the beginning of Insurgent? I am hoping this is a continuation of Divergent, as another book added to the series. All of Divergent is the same, but I will just pick up where Veronica Roth left Divergent off. Okay… enough with the blabbering... I am so excited! Tell me what you think - Please review or comment! (REMEMBER: Caleb is not bad… yet! Susan chose Abnegation. Uriah is alive and Al is dead.)

Abnegation and Dauntless are both broken, their members scattered. We are like the factionless now. I do not know what life will be like, separated from a faction – it feels disengaged, like a leaf divided from the tree that gives it sustenance. We are creatures of loss; we have left everything behind. I have no home, no path, and no certainty. I am no longer Tris, the selfless, or Tris, the brave.

I suppose that now, I must become more than either.

Chapter 1

I jolt awake, the memory of my parents coming back to haunt me every day, and every night. And Will. But I still have Caleb. I still have Tobias. The train car gives a jolt, reminding us we are coming near our home – at least what is left of it – Dauntless.

"We're here," Tobias says, shaking me awake, "let's go find them."

Christina, Uriah, Zeke, our old friends, gone. I never figured out what happened to them. But I hope I will soon enough. We jump out of the car, memories of my first jump into Dauntless flowing back to me. It's time to figure out the new Me.

Tobias and I walk together side by side, the wind blowing my blonde hair back, an air of confidence floating around me. We advance silently, the whistling of the breeze our only companion. I throw my jacket back; only this time no one hollers my name. It's just me and Tobias. A sense of pride washes over me, and I jump, thinking about the dreamy blue eyes following me down. My tight black top rips through the air, while the butterflies in my stomach fly their way out. Pushing the net away, I wait for my boyfriend. Boyfriend. The name seems so familiar yet so distant. I watch Tobias fall through the gaping abyss, meant for giving new initiates fright and dread. But I guess it never worked on me.

We travel to the Pit hand in hand, appalled by the mass destruction of our home. The pit – an immense underground cavern where we, the Dauntless, have fun. It is now a graveyard; containing thousands of dead bodies. If this is Dauntless, I'm petrified to go to Abnegation! People once covered in black now resemble the Amity – covered in a deep, sickening red blood from head to toe. Hundreds of knives are scattered around, blending into the pit due to the sheer number of them.

"Tris -" Tobias's deep voice arouses me from my trance - "look."

I turn towards the spot where Tobias's finger points, and watch a red-haired girl trying to fake a death – but failing. Divergent. Tobias and I run towards her, breathing heavily and crouching in front of her. As they say, once a Stiff, always a Stiff. She shakes her head and keeps saying the same thing. "Five… Five… Five…" I wonder what it means. We shine a bright light onto her, seeing if we recognize her. She shakes her head away from the light, but only after we get a tiny glimpse of her face – enough to tell us she is a new look, a new identity, a new factor to the complicated equation we live today. The new girl has a small tattoo on her neck, as well as one on her wrist – small enough to go unnoticed to the imprudent eye, but distinct enough for me to discern its heart-shaped design. She must have lost someone. Her family? Her boyfriend? I try to suppress my curiosity as I see Tobias pick the new girl up, leading her to the infirmary.

I immediately halt when I see him. My heart leaps in my stomach as his cold eyes bore into me. Eric.
