Divergent in Fours' POV. No offence to any of you who wrote this kinda fic, some of them were good: I was sick of rushed and poorly written fics of Fours' POV, so I decided to write one myself. Focusing on NOT RUSHING, DETAIL and EXPLAINING ACTIONS. Noted the chapters won't be too high in word count. I'm not doing fillers. xox Love you.

Damn my mum for making me watch Divergent and damn the movie for making me love the trilogy and damn the first book for making me read them all. Now I have to postpone writing my other fics. Too much inspiration for this one URGH.

Thanks for reading, enjoy! I love you guys

I don't own Divergent ETC.

PROLOGUE

This is the year that I plan to leave. Leave Dauntless. Become Factionless. I've waited long enough. The only reason I'm bothering to wait longer is because of the new initiates. Eric will be training them this year, I have a good idea of how he's going to treat them.

I don't regret any decisions I've made since joining Dauntless. I do not regret turning down the offer for me to be one of the leaders. One of the true Dauntless. But sometimes I do wonder how I would have changed this place. Certainly in a better way than Eric has.

"You have that look again Four." Zeke comments absently. "Like you're going to get up and go punch someone." I let out a huff of air and begin chewing whatever had been on my fork.

Lauren shakes her head. "I think he's ignoring us." She grins suddenly, her eyes lighting up, right before she kicks me under the table.

I hiss under my breath. "That wasn't necessary."

"Yeah, it was. Cause Eric's coming this way." Lauren explains, hiding her amusement. "Don't want to be ignoring him." She mumbles quickly and Zeke sighs, shaking his head.

As he approaches I stiffen involuntarily. My fists clench and I can't seem to stop them, so I shove them under the table. Other than that I keep my face straight although it doesn't matter much. I think it's pretty obvious how much I dislike him.

"You're cutting it close Four." He begins, leaning over me. His hands tap on the table and I stare at them for a moment. "Remember that I'm in charge this year. Don't be late for the net."

I finally look at him, sitting even taller so I don't look up to him. "I've been training initiates longer than you Eric. I think I know what I'm doing." I say, levelling his stare.

He stays there, our eyes locked. I don't know why he's here right now other than just reinforcing what I already know. Eric is in charge.

My lips twitch slightly, a smile. "But I won't be late." Then I look over to Lauren who's far too fascinated with her fingernails.

Zeke coughs after a moment because Eric still hasn't left. It grabs his attention. "Keep an eye on him." He says to Zeke, but I don't think he expects him to do so. Zeke nods quickly and Eric stands, walking away slowly.

I go back to eating my food, unaffected.

Lauren and Zeke share a glance in my peripheral. "Shouldn't you be going Four?"

"Shouldn't you?" I challenge back. We all have to be there, well, as many of us as possible.

Zeke stands with his plate. "Let's go then." He walks off without us. Maybe he is going to follow Eric's orders? Good for him.

I look at Lauren and she shrugs, getting up and grabbing her plate like Zeke. I follow, glancing around until I see Eric. He's talking with Max, but glances in my direction as I do, flashing his teeth. I can practically hear him. I'm in charge, and you're going to listen.

Maybe I should just leave.

I catch up to Lauren and she nudges me in the shoulder. "You can take him, but I think, I hope you'll be careful." She lets out a breath. "There's a lot going on with you lately Four and I'm not going to pry, you know that. But whatever it is don't let it make you angry. You can't stand up to him like that from now on."

"He's sick, if he's going to be deciding things for the initiates I'll need to stand up to him." I narrow my eyes. "I'm not just going to be quiet." Be quiet and let him ruin this faction. Be quiet when I, Four, am known for being stronger than him.

But I know she's right, and she knows I get the message, because she doesn't continue. Perhaps I can do this. Perhaps I can have just enough presence that Eric doesn't cause too much damage, and I don't get killed before I can leave.

The area around the net is almost full with people. I spot Zeke towards the front of the crowd and he spreads his arm to help clear a path for us. Lauren goes first, crossing her arms as she waits to the side. Great, I'm going to be pulling them out of the net again.

I stand up to the net and look around me. There are still a few people filing in, but I ignore them. "As usual we are here to greet the initiates," I begin and everyone cheers in agreeance. "So you know what that means, look imposing and glare them to death." They laugh and cheer again.

Lauren steps forward. "If we get an Amity this year they're mine." Lauren says without much force and the crowd laughs with words of quiet approval.

"Think it's going to be tough for you this year?" I ask Lauren. I've heard Uriah, Zeke's brother, is going to be in this group of new recruits.

She shrugs. "I don't play favoritism Four." But then her eyes light. "I actually think it's going to be fun. I actually have an excuse to hurt him now." Then she grins and I have to shake my head in amused disbelief.

Everyone grows quiet as we wait for the first jumper. Most of the time it's a dauntless born, being roped into it by their friends. There's no scream as a grey blur falls down but I hear surprised gasps. If my guess is correct…

The girl lands with a laugh, her hands coming to her face before she heads towards the edge of the net. I stand ready to help her, but instead she rolls off before I can, so I quickly reach to grab her.

'She' has a narrow face, grayish-blue eyes that are wide and round, a long, thin nose and has straight blonde hair that frames her face. I look away before I stare too long, barely catching her breathless "thank you."

"Can't believe it," I hear Lauren begin, her smirk easily showing in her voice. "A Stiff, the first to jump? Unheard of." It's true, Abnegation transfers never jump first. Instead of being confused, I'm curious, intrigued.

I don't glance at Lauren as I speak. "There's a reason she left them, Lauren." I then focus on the girl again. "What's your name?"

As I watch her think, I can't help but try and place her face. If she's from Abnegation, I must have seen her. There's a flash of an image, but it's gone before I can really decipher it. "Think about it." I say, noticing she hasn't answered yet. "You don't get to pick again."

It's easy to see how her eyes light up, like mine had, when I realised that I could start my life over. A new faction, a new place. "Tris." She says finally.

"Make the announcement, Four." Lauren shouts, but I'm already about to anyway, my eyes threaten to snap back to her face. One more look.

I look over my shoulder at the crowd, my eyes trying to find Zeke. "First jumper - Tris!"

Another girl falls into the net as they cheer. I see Lauren move to grab this one. One more look. I turn back to the girl, bending slightly so I can see her eyes better in the dark and set my hand on her back. "Welcome to Dauntless."
