Chapter 1
Disclaimer : I don't own divergent , the plot , etc it all belongs to the talented Veronica Roth.
It was supper time when I walked into the dinning hall . I did the usual routine , grabbing a tray and filling it with whatever looked good . I grabbed a piece of the famous dauntless chocolate cake before going to my usual table . Everyone was already there .
" Hey Four ". Zeke greets . He was stuffing his face with cake .
"Hey." I say taking a seat beside Lauren and my girlfriend Skyler . She leans in and kisses my cheek . I smile at her .
"Choosing day tomorrow" she says stating the obvious . " Zeke do you think Uriah will stay at dauntless ? "
Zeke laughs . "He better . Where else would he go ? "
" What if an amity transfer came to dauntless ? " Shauna laughs .
" Then I'd quit my job . I can't stand them !" I groan . Skyler glares at me , and I mentally kick myself in the ass because that is where she transferred from . I laugh "no offence babe !" She laughs , as everyone at the table joined in,
"Speaking of transfers , are you sure you don't want dauntless born ? I know how hard they are to train and how bad of a temper you have Four. " Lauren says , after she calms down from her laughing fit.
I glare at her . Skyler squeezes my forearm . " I don't mind training them . It's calming . But some of them will have to learn not to mess with me and keep their mouth shut . Anyways I'm turning in early tonight . So goodnight "
I get up and grab my tray and Skyler's off the table . She stands up as well .
"Remember Four , 10:00 . " Lauren says reminding me of the time I'm suppose to be at the net . I just nod .
"Sky are you still helping us tomorrow?" she asks
Skyler just nods like I did . She waves goodbye . We walk past the garbage throwing our garbage in the trash and walk out of the dinning hall towards the pit . " You going home ? " I ask her , as we step into the elevator . I push our floor number as I wait for her to respond . " Yes . My roommate is planning something tonight . Spa or something "she laughs . "Lauren and shauna are suppose to drop by later as well . "
The elevator opens on the 5th floor .we step out and go hand and hand down the hall .
" You don't really need to help tomorrow , you know . They should be able to maneuver on the trail without someone behind them to keep from falling off . "
" four they just jumped 200ft off a building , leaving their families behind . A lot of thoughts are racing through their minds if they have someone to make sure they're following the group and don't get lost -"
"- they sort of signed up for that when they choose dauntless . " I laugh as we reach her apartment .
" Be nice Four " she giggles . She leans up and kisses my jaw . "And try not to use your soft voice so much . You know how intimidating it is "
I roll my eyes "I make no promises " I say before pressing my lips to hers . We kiss for a minute before I pull away .
"Goodnight Sky . "
She gives me a quick kiss before disappearing inside .
I walk back down the hallway until I reach my apartment , since I never lock it I just walk right in . I go in and lie on my bed . Thoughts of skyler pop into my mind as I wait for sleep to over take me .
Skyler Jinx . We were in the same innate class two years ago . She was a transfer from amity , she took the famous quote "faction before blood" quite literal before she chose dauntless . Anyways I helped her train after hours , because she wasn't that good of a fighter . Overall she ranked fourth at the end of initiation . Our anniversary is Coming up and I'm going to purpose . We know everything about each other . She knows of my past in abnegation as I know everything there is to know about her . I start to doze off with her breathtaking face in my mind . Pale face , long black hair , full lips , and big brown eyes .
"This is for your own good !" Marcus says as he shoves me into the closet upstairs . The door slams behind him as he locks it and stomps down the stairs . I start hyperventilating . There are more coats in here then there was the last time . They reeked of dust and Mold . I can feel the nausea boiling in my stomach and I got sick in the corner of the closet . I was going to get it for that . I then here three loud pounds on the door . It's 8:30 , Marcus wouldn't be home from work yet , he only left and he certainly wouldn't knock on the closet door .
"FOUR YOUR LATE !" Yells a women's voice .
I literally jump out of bed , being awoken from my nightmare . I'm covered in sweat .
"MAX WELL BE AT THE NET IN FIVE MINUTES ! "
Net ? Max ? Oh that's right it's choosing day . Time to scare some initates !
"We'll get out so I can get ready ! "I say . Lauren nods and leaves .
I don't have time to shower , so I splash my face with cool water . I throw on a pair of jeans and a black t shirt . I put on my shoes , grab a muffin from my mini fridge and step out of my apartment . It doesn't take me long until I'm out of the hall , into the elevator stepping into the pit and walking down the narrow path to the net .
"We'll look who decided to show up " skyler says as she walks towards me planting a kiss on my lips . " the nets already set . Who do you think will jump first ? "
I wrap my arm around her waist as I finish the last of my muffin .
" probably a smart mouth condor " Lauren says .
"Abnegation " I say confidently .
Lauren and Skyler both make a noise that would resemble a pig , and give me a disbelieving look . I just shrug .
We then hear noise coming from the huge hole at the top . It's dark so we can't see who it is but we all know it's Max . "Listen up! my name is max ! I am one of the leaders of your new faction . " he's beginning his speech . Just a few more seconds longer until someone is brave enough to jump . " several stories below us is the members entrance to our compound .if you can't muster the will to jump off then you don't belong here . Our initiates have the privilege to go first "
There is a lot of remarks that follow his speech most weren't loud enough for us to hear . So we don't know what is happening until someone jumps .
Suddenly we see a body dropping at full speed into the net . They were wearing grey clothing . Abnegation. Not just abnegation , she's a girl . She lands In the net , her hands cover her face as a giggle escapes her lips . Did she really just giggle ? She rolls over trying to get out . I hold my hand out at the edge of the net , she takes it and rolls off . She would of went face first into the concrete if I haven't caught her .
"Thanks " she says . My eyes stare into hers . They are a greyish blue , so deep and full of excitement . She has blond hair that is pulled into an abnegation bun . She looks small , childlike but something in her eyes shows her age . They're mature .
"Can't believe it ! " Lauren smirks ." A stiff the fist to jump ? Unheard of !"
"There's a reason why she left them Lauren "! I snap at her , then turn my attention back to the abnegation girl meeting her eyes again . "What's your name ? "
"Um.." She hesitates
My lips curl into a smile as I lean in and whisper in her ear "think about it , you don't get to pick again . "
"Tris ." She says firmly .
"Tris" Lauren repeats . " make the announcement four !"
"FIRST JUMPER - TRIS ! " I say proudly . The whole tunnel erupts in cheers and fist pumps . Suddenly another jumper lands in the net . She screams on her way down . Everyone is laughing but me , I can't seem to pull my eyes away from tris . I place my hand on her back and say "welcome to dauntless "
A/N So this is my first ever divergent fan-fiction ! I usually write for victorious - (tandre) . But this is the first ever fan-fiction I ever published . There is a lot of grammar issues . I think .
Also Be brave , and don't forget to read and review . :)
