Hello everyone! This is my first fan fiction. After ripping my heart out by finnally finishing Allegiant I needed something to fill the void of disappointment. Chapters will be longer than this. This is merely my introduction. Written from Tris's point of view. Read and review!
*Disclaimer: I do not own the divergent series or the characters.
My chest tightened at the realization of what we were about to do. Sheer willpower alone kept me moving down the hallway, past security and towards the doors of the Bureau. That and his hand in mine. I snuck a glance up at him and was startled to find that his expression mirrored my own, mirrored that of the rest of what had come to be our family. Four, Dauntless legend and hardass extraordinaire, almost appeared afraid. Almost. I squeezed his hand gently and he turned his gaze upon me, his eyes softening and allowing me to glimpse the turmoil he was struggling against.
We had made our decision as a group. We were leaving the Bureau, Chicago, and anything even hinting at genetics behind to start over in the wilds. There was no place for us there anymore, no place for those that wanted only to live in peace without the pressures of conforming to factions or the limitations of damaged genetics. I took a deep breath and collected myself, felt my Dauntless training begin to settle over me. My breathing deepened and everything seemed to come into focus. I thought back to my initiation then. The threat of being factionless had driven and motivated all of us to push harder, to be better than the rest. Now we were choosing to embrace the same life we had once shied so violently away from. We were choosing to truly be divergent. I pressed my lips softly to his and smiled tentatively.
"Together?" I whispered.
"Together" he repeated.
He grinned at me then and let out a Dauntless yell that was echoed back by the rest of us. The sound engulfed me and despite what we were facing I found myself grinning ear to ear. Taking one last look at the society we were leaving and my adopted family behind me, I pushed open the doors. Together, we began to run.
