This is a Divergent Trilogy Fanfic (obviously). It's about how a few Dauntless members and a few others get tired and form a group of some sort. Read to find out the rest. It mainly centers around Lynn since she's my favorite character. Oh, Eric (he was never captured), Jeanine, Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Tori, y'know those people are still alive and Shauna isn't paralyzed. This story begins in Insurgent.
Now, without further ado, I give you The Renegades.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Divergent Trilogy
Lynn's POV
I sit down next to Zeke, and Hector and Marlene join us. Marlene takes a seat next to Uriah, and I clench my jaw to keep from saying something I'll end up regretting. In a quick, swift movement Marlene's hand intertwines with Uriah's and my mouth twists into a sneer unnoticeably. They sneak glances at each other, like young lovers would do which did nothing to quell the jealousy and anger rising from the every part of me.
I took a deep breath in attempt to cool myself. I refused to snap, they were my friends. It's not like Marlene saw me in that way; I don't even know how I saw her in that way. I was never into girls, but for some reason she sparked my interest. My own best friend for crying out loud! I shovel food into my mouth, maybe it would help me clear my head.
"Where's the fire?" Uriah suddenly asks, and I realize he's talking to me. I refuse to snap. I refuse to snap. I refuse to snap. "You're going to hurl if you keep eating that fast."
I scowl at him. I refuse to snap. "I'm going to hurl anyway, with you two making eyes at each other all the time."
Uriah's ears turn red. "What are you talking about?" I refuse to snap.
I snapped.
"I am not an idiot, and neither is anyone else. So why don't you just make out with her and get it over with?"
Uriah looks at me stunned, like he actually believed that no one knew. Marlene, on the other hand, glares out me in cold fury that sends jolts of pain through my heart. Marlene turns, leans over, and kisses Uriah firmly on the mouth, her fingers sliding around his neck, under the collar of his shirt.
I get up, grab my tray, and walk off seething. Faintly, I hear Zeke say, "What was that all about?"
"Don't ask me. She's always upset about something. I've stopped trying to keep track," It was Hector. I paused slightly, before continuing to walk. I wasn't always upset, was I? Hector wouldn't lie, there are many things siblings would do, but Hector, Shauna, and I never lied to each other. The three of us have always had a strange relationship, since the three of us were pretty close in age we were always close.
I storm back to the room I was assigned, and flopped down on the bed with a thump. I was no longer hungry, so I set my plate on the floor and I closed my eyes and took deep breaths until my heartbeat calmed completely down. I stared up at the black ceiling, until I couldn't tell whether my eyes were open or not. I realized that it was getting late, and decided to go on my nightly walk to the chasm.
When I reached it, I leaned on the railing. I imagined how much easier it would be to just jump. To just end it all. To say goodbye to all of my problems. I lean further and further over the railings, and I'm instantly reminded of when I was seven.
I came to the chasm anytime I could when I was seven, and one day I decided to hang from it. Lots of people were scared to hang from it, so I thought if I did it I would look brave. Heights didn't scare me, anyway. So, I did hang from the railing. I hung for ten minutes, grinning and laughing, wondering what was so scary to the others when my sister walked by and noticed that I was hanging.
She nearly screamed and she tried to pull me up, but I wouldn't let her. I told her that it was fun, that there was no need for her to be worried. But then one of my hands slipped, and before I could tell Shauna that I was okay, she was pulling me up, and hugging me to death. She made me promise never to hang from it again, and to never scare her like that again. Being an innocent seven year old, I promised her I wouldn't, but that didn't stop me from visiting the chasm every chance I got. So, the chasm never scared me, it excited me. But I never hung from it again, I had made a promise to Shauna.
Shauna.
It was my fault she was shot. And it would be my fault if she never woke up. I was counting on her waking up; the guilt would eat me bit by bit if she didn't.
I looked down over the railing, and before I knew what I was doing, I climbed over the railing, and hung. I laughed at the tingling feeling that I felt by being suspended in the air. It was a nice feeling.
I clenched my jaw, and climbed lower, grabbing on the walkway. I had never hung from the walkway because I was never given the chance to but now, I felt as if I should've before. I probably would've given anything to feel like this. It was truly something amazing.
I giggled - which I've never done before - as I hung there. I loosened my grip on the walkway. Maybe my problems would be solved if I was gone. Would Uriah and Marlene even miss me? I know my parents, Hec, and Shauna would. Was I really ready to lose that?
The answer to that: yes, I was ready. But I wouldn't do it. I was most certainly not a coward. I didn't take the easy way out and run away from my problems. Shauna would wake up, and I'd live to see it happen.
I sighed, and began pulling myself up. Thankfully, I've got upper body strength or else I would be stuck here for a while. I easily pulled myself up, and slumped over the railing with a huff.
I decided it was time to go back to the room. I took the long way around, and turned down the hallway. I was about to enter the room when I heard voices. They seemed almost robotic.
I followed the voices all the way up to the a door labeled: ROOF ACCESS
Up there I spotted Hec, Marlene, and some little girl, and right next to them stood Christina and Tris, They're eyes were blank, and Tris and Christina were staring at them waiting for something to happen.
Marlene opened her mouth and spoke in a hollow voice, "I have a message for the Divergent. This is not a negotiation. It is a warning. Every two days until one of you delivers yourself to Erudite headquarters, this will happen again."
I had no time to think of what 'this' meant before the three of them took a step backwards. Quicker than I have ever before, I threw myself at Marlene, pulling her back. I had to trust that Christina and Tris would grab Hec and the girl because they were younger. I pulled up over the ledge, and took a deep breath. I looked over to see Christina and Tris still trying to pull Hec and the little girl up; they hadn't noticed me yet.
When they managed to pull the other two up, they both looked over the ledge to see what had happened to Marlene's body only to glance around realizing her body hadn't hit the pavement.
When their eyes settled on me and a limp Marlene in my arms they breathed a sigh of relief. "How'd you...?" Tris began, and I knew what she was wondering.
"I heard voices on my way back from the chasm. I took the long way around." I panted, just glad that all three of them made it out alive. They nodded, and slowly the color returned to the three of the people we had just saved.
"Ow," Hec murmurs. "What's going on?" I nearly screamed in joy. I wasn't going to lose him; there was a chance Shauna wasn't going to make it, there was no way I was going to lose him.
The little girl whimpered and Christina whispered reassuring words. Marlene opened her eyes and groaned. Her eyes darted around until finally settling on mine. "Lynn? What's going on? Why are we on the roof?"
I hug her, tightly. "You're alive!"
"Of course I'm alive, why wouldn't I be?" She looked confused.
I explained to her what happened and she looked a little shaken up. I got up, and walked over to Hec and hugged him tightly. "Ow, hug me any tighter, and you might just break me, Lynn." I eventually let go, and checked to make sure he was all right. When he said he was for about the millionth time, I left him alone, and he walked off.
I saw Marlene walking away, and ran after her to catch up. "Marlene," I called. She simply turned slightly, and when I caught up to her I noticed her eyes were all red and puffy.
"Are you okay?" I asked. She nods, but I can tell she's lying. We've been friends since we were babies, we could usually tell when the other was lying.
"I'm fine." She insisted.
"No you're not, Mar," I said, stepping closer. "Just let me help you."
"I said, I'm fine." She repeated, but I wouldn't have it. She was never fine when her voice came out as a pained whisper.
"Just let me help you," I pleaded.
"I said I'm fine, Lynn!" She snapped. I stared at her, hurt. She had never snapped at me, let alone raise her voice at me. "Just go back to bed."
She didn't wait for a reply, and began walking off. I waited for a little while before following her just to make sure she really was okay.
I followed her on her way back to her room, but when we reached the room she was sharing with a few others, she didn't stop. She continued to walk, so I silently followed her to where Uriah was staying. I stayed near the door and listened to what they were saying.
She was crying. I knew she wasn't okay. She told him that she needed him, and I felt another pang in my heart. I was there for her, why wouldn't she let me help her? Anger replaced jealousy and pain, and I angrily walked back. She obviously chose him over me, so there was no point in staying.
I quietly grabbed my stuff, and walked to the infirmary where Shauna was under watch. "I love you, Shauna." I whispered, placing a kiss on her forehead.
I left a note near Hector's bedside, and placed a kiss on his forehead as well, before walking out.
They didn't need me, anyway. I wasn't divergent, so I was of no use to Dauntless. I was sure Hec would get over it, and I was positive Shauna would wake. They'd have each other soon.
I wasn't apart of Dauntless anymore, but I was certainly not a Dauntless traitor. I was me, Lynn Raze of the notorious Raze family. We were known for usually causing havoc with our well-known mischievous. There was a reason I was nicknamed "Destruction,". You cross me then that's all I cause.
Hmm, now I could cause a lot more destruction, because I was now rogue.
And now, I fight for no one.
Yeah, that's all for now. And yes, she did just run away. Congratulations on figuring that out. It never really mentioned what her or Marlene's last names were so I made Lynn's Raze and I'm going to make Marlene's. . . . well, I haven't exactly figured out what I was going to make her last name. Sucks for her
