Well I decided on Peter's POV. It feels natural writing in his POV, is that bad? Ha I mean it's easy for me to get in his head. I love how he's a sarcastic ass. I apologize for the profanity that may occur ahead.
I do not own Divergent! I wish I did.
"Hello Peter, I hear you're great at following orders and you are handy with a gun. Even knives," Jeanine says. I don't know if she knows what I did or if it was just an innocent coincidence.
"I need you as a guard for Erudite; do you think you can handle that?" She asks me. Be a guard or die? Hmm decisions, decisions. I'll just go with being a guard.
"I'm up for it." I say. Maybe if I can convince her that I'm all up for war and crap, she won't bother thinking twice about me; about my divergence. "Good," she simply says and waves her hand to the door. "Send him to Kyle." She says dismissively.
Kyle shows me this room where they keep all the guns and there is a shooting practice target, weird. "See which gun works best for you," he says. I pick up a light hand gun and begin to shoot. It's weird holding a gun outside initiation. "What does holding a gun have anything to do with bravery? I remember asking that during initiation; I also remember getting a gun pointed to my head by big, scary Four.
Flashback
Why is everyone up so early? Thank goodness I'm getting my own room tomorrow. I scanned the room noticing everyone moving in a zombie like way. "Hello!" I waved my hand in front of Will's face. No emotions. They all stared walking, so I followed them.
I felt a hand pull me aside. Eric. "I've a job for you, Divergent. I need you to guard the Pit. Oh, wipe that confused look off your face. There is a war going on at the moment. I'm sure you're pleased.
The Abnegation sector is going down as we speak. Hundreds are being killed. There is dangerous information and if it is revealed bad things will happen. Your job is to keep an eye out for anything suspicious. I swear if you fail I will personally kill you. Understood?" I nod. I wonder how wonderful my life would be if it weren't for this stupid divergence.
He trusts a gun into my hand and pushes me toward the hall that leads me to the Pit. Shaken and startled I make my way to the Pit. Why can't he get someone else to do his dirty work?
Flashback over
Kyle leads me to my temporary apartment. Alone at last. I open to a small room. The walls are a light blue there's a small window with a view of a pond. I see a small desk with a chair, the spinney kind, my favorite. There's a small bed with a blue blanket. I notice a blue jacket with a note.
While you are on duty as a guard it is mandatory that you wear this jacket to show your new loyalty to Erudite. You will start tomorrow at 8pm.
- Kyle
I snort, new loyalty? I'm just trying to save my ass. This whole building can go up in flames and I wouldn't give a shit. The night shift? Oh joy.
I head down to the cafeteria to grab something to eat. I grab a burger and fries. I notice a can that say Coke on it; I wonder what kind of drink that is.
I decide to take my food back to my room rather than sit with the other traitors; there all older than me anyways. The hallway is empty and completely silent. The smell of clean lemon rises from the tiles.
I tried this coke drink and it wasn't bad. The fizz kind of surprised me. I guess they have fizzy drinks and dauntless has the best chocolate cake ever.
I've spent a lot of time alone. Well, sure I was surrounded by a handful of people but no one that I would actually consider a close friend. Drew and Molly were ok but they just kind of followed me around. Caleb though, he wasn't afraid to speak his own mind. He was a pretty cool guy.
Too bad we walk different paths. I wonder where he's at anyways; I hope he's alright. It's not like he would stick around with me if he knew what I did. What I had to do.
I'm sorry if this chapter sucks but oh well. Keep reviewing please. Maybe Peter and Caleb will have an encounter next chapter. Keep on reviewing please if you want to find out. Thank you to those who did.
