Hello fellow readers and writers! I'm so glad to be back with "Divergent Angel"! I hope I can pull this off with your help. I asked my readers if they wanted me to write this book in 1st or 2nd person, and the vote came to 2nd person. But to please those of you who wanted 1st person, I did the introduction that way. I pray that you all enjoy and don't give up on this story even though it is slow at first. - Every book has to work its way up!

-Enjoy and keep writing!

NEW READERS: I am so glad that you have decided to take a peek at this story! And I would be honored if you stick with it. But this is a sequel to one of my former stories, "Call Of Heaven" a 'Treasure Planet' FF, which is all about the journey to Treasure Planet. So you may want to start there to gather all the background knowledge of my OCs (which I have a lot of!). And yes this DOES have the 'DIVERGENT'IDEA in it. (Although I'm doing some of my own creative work with it. But isn't that the point of FF? You can change anything because it's YOUR story)But most of the 'Divergent' based ideas will happen a little later, but WILL happen none the less. You'll just have to read to find out!


Introduction

So many people see the world as a safe haven. A place you can live freely, without anyone trying to hurt you. Well it isn't. I believe it can be good, but I've never seen a place where safety is sure. "The world is a cruel and dangerous place," someone once told me. That someone is now gone, maybe dead. She disappeared from my life so suddenly, my eight year old mind couldn't grasp the possibility that I'd never see her again. But I never did, and never would. I now know that she is gone forever, and her words are the only thing I have of her. Her words telling me to be aware of how dangerous the world is.

My name is Destiny. I traveled to Treasure Planet on the RLS Legacy when I was fourteen. I was a pirate. My best friend Alexis, or Lexi as I preferred to call her, left that ship with my mentor and father figure, Silver. I haven't seen either one since.

It's been three years since I laid eyes on James Hawkins, the boy who helped me escape the Legacy, and what awaited me at the space port. Prison. I was no murderer, and I had never broken the law. I would have been hung for crimes I never committed. The idea of the dark bag being pulled over my head, a rope being slid over my thin neck, makes me shiver. I will never forget Jim, for what he did for me.

But contrary to my ways, and the secret hidden feelings for the boy that saved my life deep in my heart of hearts, I was never to meet up with Jim Hawkins again. Not the stupid, fifteen year old boy that once saved my life. There would never be a Rat-Tail James, and Destiny Dixon. Never. For as life would have it, in its own cruel ways... Jim Hawkins would soon meet a girl that would steal his heart like I never could. A girl that resembled me, Destiny Dixon, in many ways. But this girl, she would be different, because she had something I never had.

She had love.

Her name... is Heaven.


Prologue

Darkness clung to the smooth stone walls, and a musky smell stretched down the long halls. From every point, the walls and floor echoed the sounds of whimpering, crying, scraping... suffering. Every twenty feet or so, a large heavy wooden door stood, metal bars across the small, pitiful windows. There was nothing pleasant about this dark place. Only dread, and fear.

Two men dressed in armor marched down the hall, their heavy footsteps echoing off the stone, striking fear into the heart of every soul behind each door. Between the men, stood another. This man was tall, strong, and handsome... but no match against the two large men on either side of him. His pale, sunken eyes stared straight ahead without any emotion, and he had short, dark hair with grey streaks running through it. His face was expressionless. Dark. Alone.

The chains around his wrists were so tight, his veins bulged from beneath, and his upper arms were tense, the muscles thick and hard. He did not fight.

One of the guards unlocked one of the heavy wooden doors, and the prisoner entered. Just as they closed the door behind him, he turned, and slowly approached the door, wrapping his fists around the metal window bars. He could hear small, gentle steps approaching the guards outside. A woman. With a sharp ear, he listened.

"Who was that man?" the woman was whispering. "Where did he come from?"

The guard's voices were much lower, but gentle in her presence. "He is the man that attacked the queen, ma'am," they said.

Is he?" the woman asked. "But he does not look as she described him."

"This is the man we caught fleeing the castle. The Mistress approved."

"But what of the current King? Have you asked him?" she didn't sound convinced.

"Believe me ma'am," the guards reasoned, "This man will not be harmed until the young queen is back to confirm that it was this man who attempted assault on her."

"...Good... What is his name?"

"Hawkins. Adin Hawkins."

Inside the room, the man listened to the retreating footsteps, his eyes emotionless. Then, he turned away from the door, and just stood still. He was innocent.
