Chapter 1

I was going to my new home. But to be honest, I am not sure if I can call that a random place, where I will be surrounded by random people. The last three days were a real nightmare. I was struggling with my duties and needs. I felt that I have never fit in there. I was pretending that I belonged to Abnegation, but deep down inside I knew that it wasn't true. Who knows, maybe the inconclusive results were just a sort of helping hand. If my results were different, I would end up in Abnegation, spending there the rest of my boring life. Who would like to live like that? My inner monologue was interrupted by a wild scream of my new colleagues, who started to jump out of the train. In that moment, I realized that it was the only way to get out of this damn train. Then I heard a voice of a girl, who had introduced herself as Christina.

"Wanna jump together on my count?"– she asked me.

I just nodded and we jumped out of still running train.

"Wow, that was the craziest thing I have ever done so far" – I said aloud and smiled to Christina.

Christina smiled me back, but she had no chance to answer, because in the same time we saw a tall and well-build guy, who was approaching to us. He was really intimidating. For the first time in my life, I felt a strange feeling. It was a mix of curiosity, shyness and fascination. A thousand thoughts were crossing my mind, when I heard a very manly voice.

"What are you staring at initiate? ".

Yup, that was he and what is more, the question was addressed to me.

"I, I'm just" – I murmured.

"If your ability to fight is the same as your ability to speak, you'll be soon factionless" – he retorted.

"Stay in the line".

I listened to him with no words. What should I say? Nothing to add. I have just introduced myself as a moron from Abnegation. I don't know why, but I have this rare skill to make a fool of myself.

"My name is Eric and I'm one of the leaders here in Dauntless".

At least he introduced himself properly – I thought to myself.

"If you want to be Dauntless, the only way which leads you to our compound is here" – he added.

Here means where? Of course, hole in the roof, stupid me.

"What is on the bottom? Water?" – the Erudite guy asked him.

"You'll see"- said Eric.

"So, who's gonna jump first".

"Me" – I have already surprised myself.

Facial expression of my new friends were priceless. Eric looked surprised as well. I think, that he was questioning my decision and he couldn't have believed that I wanted to jump as first. Who cares? I had to just get my shit together and act as I haven't had any second thought.

"I was staring at you and I won't be factionless" – I said to Eric and jumped as soon as I had said it.

Eric POV

So here I am, the Dauntless leader. That was my dream and goal. Unfortunately, I was asked to take part in training of initiates. I am not happy about it, but I have a hidden mission. I have to hunt the people, who are a threat to our system. We call them Divergents. Jeannine Matthews has a suspicion that most of them used to live in other factions. She thinks, that it is extremely difficult to be Divergent and live in Dauntless secretly. This is a reason why, I'm gonna trace them one after another. The group of people who jumped out of the train was at first sight nothing than ordinary. Some Candors, some Erudites, no Amities and surprisingly one Stiff. I have no fucking idea, why she is staring at me like that. Apparently, I must shake her up and send her a message, that I am not an object to analyze. I think that she has understood it, because she looks a little bit scared, or maybe not, since she has already decided to jump as first. To make myself more amazed, she told me that she would not be factionless. Poor Stiff, she has no idea with who she has just messed with.
