This fanfiction is after the 2nd book. Note that the intro is taken from the last few pages of Insurgent to create an effective beginning.
I know that you Divergent fans are just itching to get a glimpse of the end of the 3rd book, I am too. So just to occupy you, I kind of am writing my version of what will happen in the 3rd book. :) I really do hope she names the book Resurgent though. :)
Disclaimer: Just to tell you write now that I DO NOT OWN DIVERGENT OR THE CHARACTERS AT ALL. Well unless I make them up or something.
So anyways, I hope you enjoy the cliffhanger. :)
What Lies Behind the Walls of the Factions
Introduction
Amongst the chaos and confusion, lies something that all of the factions doesn't know about it, even the leaders didn't know about.
"Images flash across the wall, almost too fast for me to see. A man on his knees with a gun pressed to his forehead. The woman pointing it at him, her face emotionless.
From a distance, a small person hanging by the neck from a telephone pole.
A hole in the ground the size of a house, full of bodies.
And there are other images too, but they move faster, so I get the impressions of blood and bone and death and cruelty, empty faces, soulless eyes, terrified eyes.
Just when I have had enough, when I feel like I am going to scream if I see any more, the woman reappears on the screen, behind her desk.
'You do not remember any of that,' she says. 'But if you are thinking these are the actions of a terrorist group or a tyrannical government regime, you are only partially correct. Half of the people in those pictures, committing those terrible acts, were your neighbors. Your relatives. Your coworkers. The battle we are fighting is not against a particular group. It is against human nature itself-or at least what it has become.'
….
'The reason I am leaving this footage for you is so that you will know when it's time to help us. You will know that it is time when there are many among you whose minds appear to be more flexible than the others. The name you should give those people is Divergent. Once they become abundant among you, your leaders should give the command for Amity to unlock the gate forever, so that you may emerge from your isolation.'
And that is what my parents wanted to do: to take what we had learned and use it to help others. Abnegation to the end.
'The information in this video is to be restricted to those in government only,' Amanda says. 'You are to be a clean slate. But do not forget us.'
She smiles a little.
'I am about to join your number,' she says. 'Like the rest of you, I will voluntarily forget my name, my family, and my home. I will take on a new identity, with false memories and a false history. But so that you know the information I have provided you with is accurate, I will tell you the name I am about to take as my own.'
Her smile broadens, and for a moment, I feel that I recognize her.
'My name will be Edith Prior,' she says. 'And there is much I am happy to forget.'
Prior.
The video stops. The projector grows blue against the wall. I clutch Tobias's hand, and there is a moment of silence like a withheld breath.
Then the shouting begins."
Constructive criticisms are much appreciated. :)
