AN: So I'm finally starting this story! Took me long enough, right? Anyway, so I think I have about 12 main characters. (thanks for all the submissions!) There are some things I want to cover first, though.

Please don't be upset if your character gets cut or dies or something like that! Also, I'm going to try my best to make the use of the characters pretty even, but there might be some that are more portrayed than others. While using twelve characters this is just how it's going to have to be. Sorry!

Setting: The story takes places one year before Tris's initiation. So, if I'm correct, this is Tobias's first year of training initiates. Still, I'm going to make the initiation process the same as Tris's.

If you submitted a character, keep in mind that I might have to tweak them a little. There won't be anything drastic, but the Notable Achievements might not be the same, the character might not have romance, and I may have to add/take away fears. I will try to keep them the same, though!

Enough, of that super long author's note, let's get on with it! –GottaLuv

Prologue

Patchy's POV:

I sit uncomfortably against the wall of the room. The huge tree, with roots extending like ocean waves, looks inviting while bathed in the afternoon sun. No one is here except me, with my legs crossed tightly and a sea of red hair rippling around.

I don't feel the same today. My Amity qualities aren't shining through like they usually do. Most of the time, my attitude is happy and joyful; all the time, really. But there is something about the day before your Choosing Ceremony. It puts you on edge.

I know where I'm headed. I'm switching to Dauntless for myself, sure. But there is another reason. I haven't bothered telling anyone about it. No, I haven't even told my group of Amity girls. I'm going to Dauntless to find my brother. We were so close… then Ben just left? It doesn't make any sense to me. I remember every Sunday we would stroll through the orchard, biting into candy red fruit and challenging each other to climbing contests. Benjamin always seemed so content, so why would he switch?

For the Dauntless thrill, I guess. It's the same with me. I want that kind of life the Dauntless live. I want it like I want sunshine. Like I want water. Like I want air.

Still, trading one life for another won't be easy. I have no idea what to expect, switching in to Dauntless. Heck, I don't even know where their compound is. Tomorrow is going to be one rough ride. I just… need to find my brother. Then everything will be alright.

When did I start thinking so seriously? I'm gonna go get some bread….

So… what did you think? Obviously, this was extremely short; I just needed to set it up. What do you think of Patchy (Patricia)? I will try to update as soon as I can. Please review so I know you're reading -GottaLuv
