The beginning of the end of training. Soon we would have new members and all of us could go back to our normal lives. Josh was up again for the sim. I saw as he ran into the pit and noticed the other initiates and tried running to them but hitting a wall. He turned around and was blocked in, while looking for a way out he noticed water rising at his feet. He tried to scream for help but the rest of us looked on and laughed. I saw Josh take one more last breath as the water over took him. I then soon expected him to come out of the sim but he didnt, instead the glass shattered and he awoke in a panic two min after the water took him. Four and I both looked at eachother...we knew what that meant.

"How did you do that?" I asked

"Do what?" Josh replied looking worried

"Break the glass..."

"I dont know..."

" You dont know..."

" I just did..."

"Fine, your free to go," I sighed, "Josh dauntless dont break the glass like that just so you know." I finished as he walked out

Ashley was up next. Luckily Four was there because I couldnt keep my mind focused. It was true...Josh was divergent and maybe Tori was right the only safe place now was Factionless. Ashley was faced with her fear of control. She was put outside the fence and almost in a second was surrounded by crows. She tried to turn and run but her foot got caught in the mud as she fell to the ground. The birds caught up to her and started pecking her to death. Thats the last Four and I saw before she came out of the sim.

"Well theres some good news after a LONG day..." said Four

"Good news...Good news...Josh has to be factionless...you know why!" I yelled

"B...did you not see any of Ashleys fear?"

"No..."

"She had the same fear as you about control and she over came it just as you did...she is as well. They found eachother just as you and I did. Though Im sure they dont know the other is. Josh may know we know."

"Do you think Josh will go to Tori? After I found out you knew its where I went. I dont know why but I felt like I could trust her becase she administered my test."

"Test admisistrators are supposed to report Divergents. As glad as I am I wonder why she let you and Josh slip thru?"

"George..."

"Who..."

"Her brother...he was divergent. During second stage he got good too fast. On the last day the leaders came to see him and the next day they found his body at the bottom of the chasm. Shes giving us a chace at life."

I then ran out and back to the tattoo shop and to the back where I knew Tori would be. Her door was shut but I walked in anyway and found Josh talking with Tori.

" Im sorry for barging in but I know why your hear Josh." I said out of breath

"You do?" Josh looked from me to Tori questionably

"She didnt say anything. She didnt betray your trust i promise."

"Then...Then how do you know?Look Ill go pack my things. I wont be trouble just dont say anything."

"Josh, Im divergent too. So is Four...Ashley is too and you cant go anywhere. She is going to need you now more then ever. Its possible to live in this faction...Four and I do it everyday. You have to learn to conform but not conform to the dauntless way of life. Four and I are going to help you but you have to trust us."

"Ashley is too?"

"Yes..."

"We need to find her...we need to tell her...B I cant lose her!"

"Shes fine...Shes with Four...We will all join up tomorrow for now sit."

-Meanwhile-

Ashley stood alone staring over the chasm.

"Crap, how do they know? I knew I should have moved to abnegation no one looks there. I guess the question is do I wait for them to take my life or do I do it myself..."She sighed thinking out loud

"Ashley dont...think about Josh." Four said from behind her

"Why? Im already dead. I want to go on my own terms not yours." She replied tears filling her eyes

"Just because I know doesnt mean I dont want to help."

"Your a trainer. You have to report divergents...What would you know anyway?"

"A lot...Being a former 'stiff' counts me out but gives me the advantage...So does being divergent myself."

Ashley turned to fiace him and sniffled,"your divergent?"

"Go back to the dorm. The four of us will talk tomorrow after ranks are discussed. Get sleep and trust me."

Ashley then smiled as she got up and headed away from the chasm, "four" she turned around

"Yes..."

"Your not as bad as you make yourself seem."

-Next Day-

Morning came to fast as usual and Four woke up first leaving th bed cold and lonely. I shivvered about being a trainer as I heard him head to the 5 more min of laying there I let myself get up and make breakfast. Christina and Uriah would be over once again to discuss ranks. It had become the part I hated most about being a trainer. I put togeather a simple breakfast of chocolate wheat cereal and a glass of orange juice for both Four and I. It wasnt long after Four got out of the shower when we heard the knock on the door.

"Come in!" I yelled

Both myself and Four were thrown back by not only the presance of Christina and Uriah but Max as well.

"Max...to what do we owe this suprise?" Four spoke first

"I will keep it short as I know the 4 of you have much to discuss. Uriah has already agreed though unfortuantally Christina will be continuing here in dauntless as a nurse. I would like to give you the option of being trainers again next year. Since one Dauntless-born trainer spot is open I would like to offer that to you Four." Max explained

"Of course I want to be a trainer next year!" I blurted out

Four looked a tad more hesitant but said, "of course man theres nothing I would rather do then scare the Dauntless born."

"Then I'll get out of your way." Max said as he turned to leave

After lunch we all finally settled on rands and headed to the dorm.

"Listen up! Here are your ranks for stage two. Once again if you are in the bottom two you have the rest of the day to gather your things and leave." Uriah explained

Ranks were as follows:

1) Josh

2) Matt

3) Ashley

4) Amora

5) Mark

6) Smith

7) Bucky

8)Elle

9) Jenn

10) Mike

11) Genesis

12) Chelsea

Before I left I turned to see not only the excitement on Joshs' face but the worried and hurt faces of Genesis and Chelsea. I really did hope both of them would be ok.
