A/N

Yes, I know this is a new story. Most of my fellow authors on here know how hard it is to transfer things from paper to computer and then having to fill in blanks and rewrite on top of that so please bear with me on those stories. I will be updating them when I can. This story just happened during one of my many breaks from the others and I was tempted to not post it but I need to get it out of my system.

This is my second Eric/OC story and it's because I love using Eric's character since there are so many ways it can go. There have been changes made to since I was last on here and in order to accommodate them I'll be having a lot of author notes at the beginning on my chapters most likely.

Also, this story will have some trigger points that may be uncomfortable to read. I will mention at the beginning of each chapter if it has these points in it.

Everyone has opinions on death. Amity and Abnegation believe it's a sad thing to happen to our community. Candor and Erudite believe it's not something worth dwelling on. That death happens and then you move on and don't give it another thought. But what they never tell anyone is that they are afraid of it happening to them.

Dauntless, however, has the belief that death makes you brave. That when you lay down your life you are doing something that only brave people are willing to do. They welcome death to happen to them the way I do. Even as I fall against the wind down the chasm and see the pain in Four's eyes I can't bring myself to wish differently.

I hear water whooshing around me and I know that I'm close to the bottom and that my falling will be over soon. I don't know why but apart of me wishes that it wouldn't end. That I could stay free falling in the air forever. I feel the spray hitting the back of my clothes and know it's almost time.

"Goodbye," I say closing my eyes.

'Bravery,"

I hear his voice say but I don't know if it's in my head or if it's real. I feel my heart tighten for a moment as I remember his touch and hearing him say "you". But the pain sweeps back in as I remember him putting the gun to Black's head and pulling the trigger.

"Wake up!" I scream hitting his chest.

I feel an arm grab me and pull me away until I hit them and break free back to Black's body and pull him to me.

"Good job, Eric. I knew you were the right person for this position." Max's deep voice says proudly.

"I will do anything to protect my faction and our city. Even if it means killing Divergents," he says with a hunger in his voice.

"You don't get my death," I say before hit the ice cold needle like water.

My breath escapes me as I go under into oblivion.

A/N

If this opening scene is confusing I am sorry and in order for it to make sense, I will explain it. I was thinking of how in some movies and tv shows there's that climactic scene going on at the start and the main character thinks back to the beginning of everything. Well, this is that scene. My next chapter starts off after she's taken the test.

Now there is a lot of OC in this story. The already established Divergent characters such as Eric, Four, Jeanine, and Max have stayed the same as they looked in the movies. The characters I have created I used different actors/actresses from a wide range of movies as my inspiration for their looks.

Now as the story goes on I will give the name of the person who inspired what character until I can get a picture of what they all look like.

Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and the rest of the story. Comments about what you think would be appreciated.
