A/N Hey guys so this idea is completely random yes but original. I is a mix of a dream I had a while back and in a way an idea on tumblr… kinda. But anyhow this is only a trial chapter so please review and tell me what you think? BTW at least for now this will have nothing to do with divergent only the characters. (Tris POV)
Chapter 1:
Ordinary World
I saw it happen again today. I was on the bus when it did. A hag had fallen over while trying to make her way to the door and a hideous beast helped her up. She had been preoccupied with gathering her stuff from the floor before she looked up at him. And as she did a glow began to grow around them as everyone on the bus watched their transformation into beautiful people and as their transformation solidified and the glow receded. They had found one another; they found their soulmates. Now they would live the rest of their lives in a state of love and allurement. Most people would envy them, but I just don't. The new couple walks off the bus together talking, and I am glad they did.
In our world, there is one thing everyone waits for and that is to find their soulmate. For as long as humans have lived there was one way to be certain you found that special someone and that was the fact then when you meet them you undergo a transformation that makes you nothing less than perfect. Before that? You are born, and live as, an ugly duckling. Some people born worse than others but none have been born decent. There is no way to get rid of it or hide it; it is like a cancer that keeps coming back. But people my age typically are still ugly, too young to know what they want thus too young to have a soulmate. And I hate the idea that you must be looked down upon until you find another person. It makes being independant virtually impossible and makes everyone seem dependant.
But I have always had people around me who felt the same way. As time went on then those people began to take the more common view on things. Eventually I only had my brother, Caleb, he had never felt feelings for anyone and everyone assumed he was simply asexual. He had been preparing to love the rest of his life looking the way he does. I am snapped out of my thoughts when the bus stops and I hear the name of my stop from the intercom. And so I begin to walk home.
As i'm walking home I see a group of people standing near an alley. I am about to walk right past them when I think better of it and decide that it may not be the smartest idea. So I begin to cross the street to avoid them.
"Aww, you scared of us? good. You should be." One of them yells across the street at me. I look at him when I realize everyone is beginning to look in my direction so I look down and begin to walk faster towards my house. What was that even about, I have never even talked to them let alone done something to offend them. Do they do that just to get a small kick? People are so stupid, about everything they do. I get to my house and open the door.
"I'm home!" I yell and hear my parents approaching. And like all others who have found love they are gorgeous even if they are older than the "golden age" as some like to call it.
"Tris! how was school? actually tell me later there is some great news! follow us!" My mom says enthusiastically as she and my father begin to walk towards the living room. I follow them and when I walk in I see a tall man sitting with his back towards me and my parents stand quietly to the side. The man turns around and looks at me. He is handsome so he must have found someone. Wait. Why is a guest big news?
"Tris! How happy I am to see you! I have finally found her, my soulmate! Her name is Susan and she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet!" That voice… oh my god. Caleb? But he was supposed to stay with me; he was supposed to be there by my side and not fall trap to this handicap that people see as a gift. No, this can't be happening it just can't!
"uhm, well why I needed to talk to you is because I need you to be the maid of honor for Susan because her brother is going to be my best man. And I also need you to have dinner with Susan to get to know her." He needs me for all that? who does he think he is.
"And i needed you to be on my side. But we don't always get our way." I say as I walk past him to the staircase and hear my parents telling me to come back. That's it now I'm all alone; I am in this fight by myself and now I'm almost definitely going to lose.
A/N Hey so I don't know how you will respond to this idea so everyone please write a review! good, bad, or something in between. I will also take all ideas under consideration. Thanks!
