Author's note:
Hello, this is my first Divergent Trilogy fanfiction. In this fanfic, I will tell you the story after Insurgent, only I will not include wars that may happen between the factionless and the other factions. I will only tell the story about new initiates, romance, heartbreaks and etc. Please do not consider this like a book 3 or something, just a fanfic about what happens after- you know what I mean.
As for the title, Convergent, I came up with this idea months ago after finishing Insurgent, but when I searched for images about FourTris I found out there was really a Convergent so, the credit does not go to me.
Please Enjoy. If the story sucks just tell me. I'll stop. It'll take 5 people to, that is. My words are simple and pathetic, I know. I'm only 13 so please forgive me for living :((
I DON'T OWN DIVERGENT, INSURGENT AND THE TITLE CONVERGENT! ALL CREDIT GOES TO VERONICA ROTH!
Convergent
Chapter 1
"My name is Edith Prior," she says. "And there is much I am happy to forget."
Prior.
The video stops. The projector glows blue against the wall. I clutch Tobias's hand, and there is a moment of silence like a withheld breath.
Then the shouting begins.
I hear rain pattering on the Erudite headquarters' windows and roof even though it's faint—I only stand there and think about the video a while ago.
A Prior.
Tobias waves his hand in front of me—snapping me to reality.
"Tris." He says. "We have to go, Tori is calling for us."
I nod and let him hold my hand.
We walk towards the people forming a circle. The Dauntless and the factionless surround some Erudite. It looks like the factionless want them dead.
Evelyn walks to the group of people and some give way to her. She stands in front of the Erudite—The Erudite seems to have a decrease in population greatly. Evelyn crosses her arms and watches them with superior eyes. I feel like punching her, she lied to us about wanting only Jeanine killed, she wanted more—controlling the whole faction system and change it.
"Hello again my fellow Erudite." She says with a grin. "As I was saying a while ago, we wanted to disband the faction system that has long supported itself on the backs of discarded human beings."
I clench my fist and try to listen to her a bit more. I look to Tobias. He's expressionless and just stares at Evelyn blankly. I nudge him with my shoulder and he looks at me.
I squeeze his hand, "Tobias, you can do something about this right? She's your mother after all." I say with a slight shake to him.
He nods and says, "I can, but let us listen to her a little bit more for the time being."
I look at Evelyn again and listen to her.
"We know this transition will be difficult for you but please bear it." Evelyn says with a slight curve on her mouth. "A few weeks ago, the Dauntless was clamoring along the Erudite for the restriction of food and goods to the factionless. We wanted The Dauntless to become a factionless instead of us."
The Dauntless exchanged looks. They're all murmuring.
"But." Says Evelyn, stopping their ruckus. "My son is there, so I, as a responsible mother, will not do it for the sake of him only."
The Dauntless look at Tobias with a relief.
"Instead I will do it on the Erudite who tried resisting us."
There's nothing we can do about that. Evelyn's hatred upon Jeanine and the Erudite can't be stopped.
"To see how forgiving I am, I will give those who resisted a choice, whether to live factionless and still gain food or die in peace."
The Erudite murmurs. The factionless soldiers grips the arms of those who resisted them and threw them in front of Evelyn, on the floor. They're grieving and begging her not to do this. I close my eyes and for once, I wish for them to be factionless instead of dying, you can even get food weekly.
Better dead than factionless. I think, but don't agree on it.
The Erudite who resisted the factionless, most of them agreed to become factionless although one does not. A guy named Freyr chose to die. All his family died from the Dauntless and factionless attack. He wants to be with his family in heaven.
Evelyn talks to Tobias for a while leaving me with Christina, Cara and Fernando. I kneel next to Christina who is covering Fernando's wound on the leg with a bandage. Fernando grits his teeth as Christina wraps the bandage.
"Uhh…thanks Christina…" Fernando groans.
"You're welcome Ferdie." Christina says.
Cara laughs and says, "Again with the nickname?"
I laugh with her for a minute and say "What's wrong about it Cara?"
"Yeah what's wrong about it Cara?" Fernando says between his gritting. "It's not like I hate it or anything, I actually like it, coming from a beautiful girl like her."
"Okay, we should leave him here 'cause he's fine now. We should go there and talk about girly stuffs." Christina says, pointing to a corner.
"Hey! Don't leave me here!" Fernando laughs.
We all laugh. Laughing seems nostalgic. I think.
I see Tobias walking towards us with a grin on his face. He wraps his hand on my waist and kisses me on the forehead. "Wow, Tris is laughing, I thought I might not see it again." He says.
They look at us, smiling. Christina smiles but I can see through her. She wishes Will was here, him doing the things Tobias do to me. I frown a little knowing how hurt she has been until now.
"My mom said The Erudite can join us with a minimum of 7 people only." Tobias says.
"Great! Then Fernando and Cara can join!" I say pointing at both of them. "Oh, Four this is Fernando and Cara."
"Hello Four." Says Cara with a smile.
"Four? As in the number?" says Fernando.
"Yes." Says Tobias.
I year passed.
I'm 17 and Tobias's 19. Today is the Choosing Ceremony for every sixteen-year-old males and females. This is the day they choose a faction for themselves, the day their life changes.
I wake up hearing Tobias's voice. "Tris, Tris, wake up…" he says shaking me.
I groan and cover my head with the blanket. Tobias laughs, "Oh, so you want to do the hard way huh?" he says mischievously.
I feel two long narrow fingers on the sides of my stomach. I flinch a little, knowing what he's going to do. His fingers began tickling me. I rolled on the bed, left and right, trying to get away from him. I laugh so hard, my stomach hurts.
"T-Tobias, s-stop it!" I shout laughing.
The blanket seems to have fallen down on the floor. I fall down on the floor, hitting my elbows and sides.
Tobias rushes to my side and kneels down. I still smile, not showing any pain to him.
"Are you alright Tris?" he says with a tone of guilt.
"Of course I'm alright." I say, reassuring him. "Next time I wake you, I'll do the same to things you've done to me!"
Tobias laughs and kisses me on the forehead. "Okay then, for now, prepare for the Choosing Ceremony." He says.
"Okay."
The Dauntless exit the headquarters and run towards a corner of the street. A train slows down, it's light flashing. We all jump into the train and land on the floor. I sit next to Tobias and Christina. I wonder what the initiates will be like, will there be a Divergent? I think and smile.
Tobias looks at me and pokes my neck. I quickly stand up and gasp. He laughs at me and the others, near me do the same. I shot him a look and he quiets down trying to resist laughing. I sigh and sit again. He wraps his arm around me and says, "Hey, are you mad at me?"
I glance to him and gave him a peck on his lips. "No." I say. "It's fun to have a boyfriend like this every once in a while."
He smiles and kisses me. I hear some coughs across from us.
Fernando averts his eyes and says while coughing. "Get a room you two."
We both laugh and so does he, later on Christina joins in.
"We're jumping off!" shouted Tori.
All the Dauntless stands up and waits for the train to slow down. When it does, they all jump together. Tobias and I jump at the same time, running few more steps before regaining our balance. I dust myself off even when there's no dirt on me. I look up and see the Hub—the tallest building in the city.
We go in the elevator, it is very crowded. Some Dauntless decided to take the stairs. When we reach the twentieth floor, different factions push us forward into a room arranged in concentric circles. On the edges stand the sixteen-year-olds of every faction. Rows of chairs make up the next circle. This year, Amity's Johanna Reyes will give the opening address and read the names in alphabetical order, A-Z.
After Johanna's opening remarks, she calls names from Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, Erudite and Candor.
I watch sixteen-year-olds cut their wrists with the knife and let it drop on a metal bowl. So far, 7 people transfers to our faction.
"Erinne Tompston." Says Johanna.
I look at Erinne from Abnegation. She grits her teeth and search for a bowl. After two minutes, Erinne hovers her wrist on the Dauntless bowl, where lit coals are. She cut the skin on her wrist and let the blood drop on the water.
Is she a Divergent?
I sigh and cross my arms. I watch her as she walk behind the Dauntless-born initiates. She keeps looking down on the floor.
After the Choosing Ceremony, the Dauntless, as always, goes out of the Hub first. We scatter at the street and hear a train's horn, blaring at the corner. The transfers are not yet members of the Dauntless, they have to pass the initiations first. The train slows down with doors wide open. The Dauntless jump into the train while the transfers catch up with the train and slowly throw themselves in. They grunt as they stand up. I smile, trying to remember the time I was only an initiate. It was hard at first, but then I trained myself very well and even met Tobias, everything got fun. I changed myself, I am happy that I did. After a few minutes, we pass by a roof and Tobias begins jumping off first. I know that he's going to fall onto the net that leads to the Dauntless compounds. I stand up and jump off and so does Tori, Harrison and the others. Some of us landed with our feet and some landed hitting their sides. All the twelve transfers made it to the roof, but they're still having a hard time.
"Listen up!" says Tori. "My name is Tori and I am one of your leaders in this faction, several stories below us is the member's entrance to out compound. If you can't muster the will to jump off, you don't belong here. Our initiates have the privilege of going first."
I smile. I remember Max telling us those words when I was just an initiate. I wait for someone to go first. A girl with brown and silky hair from Candor walks to the ledge. I hear the Dauntless-born initiates snicker. I laugh inwardly. It's so fun to see initiates like this.
She breathes in and then jumps. I see her fall. I look at the other transfers and see their mouths wide opened. They're shocked. She's not going to die, don't worry.
"Alright, Now that you've seen her, why not try jumping now?" I say sternly. "Jump now or be factionless."
They flinch and nod at me. The transfers jump one person at a time until they're all gone. It's our turn so I jump first. I feel the wind blowing on face and back. I look at the orange sky and shout to the top of my lungs, I see Uriah just above me.
Oh crap.
"Uriah you're going to land on me!" I shout at him.
He's facing me while falling down, Uriah just winks at me. I fall on something solid, I see Uriah coming closer to me. I close my eyes and grit my teeth, ready to feel the pain of my life. The net bounces. I open my eyes and see Uriah inches from my face. He smiles at me and I sigh. I look at my sides and see him propping both of his arms and legs apart. Oh. He landed by doing that.
"That's so reckless!" I say beginning to giggle.
"What do you mean?!" he says laughing. He tickles me on the sides of my stomach. I begin to laugh out loud and roll underneath him.
"Tris?" a voice said.
I look over my shoulder and see Tobias. His eyes are a mixture of jealousy and pain.
Uriah and I quickly stand up from the net and jumps off it.
"Hey Tobias." Says Uriah. "where are the transfers?"
"They're at the chasm, it's your turn to show them around remember?" he says coldly.
Uriah coughs, "Okay."
Tobias shifts his eyes from Uriah to me. I smile a little. He's jealous I know it. I don't know why a part of me feels happy he is.
I run towards him and entwine our fingers together. "Were you jealous?" I say.
He looks at me and says, "Of course…"
I smile and stand on my tiptoes to kiss him. Our lips brush each other. I pull back and giggles.
"What?" he says smiling.
"Nothing…" I say.
Just keep smiling, I'll be the happiest if you do.
