Hey guys, gals, and dinosaurs! You are reading my first ever divergent fanfic. This takes place the year Four/Tobias becomes an initiate. BTW the fanfic is probably trash. READ AT YOU OWN RISK. Rated T for swearing, talk of abuse, and "suggestive" material.


"Katie, Get Up!" God mom, I thought, she's so loud. "You Have Your Aptitude Test Today. Sooner you get to candor initiation the sooner I get to stop feeding you!" she yells. I jolt awake. I quickly get ready for the day, putting on a white blouse, black jeans, and tying my long wavy blond hair back with a black bandana. "Typical candor outfit," I say quietly to myself while looking in the mirror.

I walk into the kitchen and see a too familiar sight, my mom and stepdad making out on the couch, what a slut, My 15-year-old half-sister, Mia, making coffee, and my little half-brother, Greg, who is only 6, play arguing with our cat, Mo, he'll be a candor for sure. I grabbed a cup of coffee and yelled "goodbye". Unsurprisingly no response.

My mom always wanted me to stay in candor. But I've always dreamed of being dauntless. Of being reunited with my dad. See my mother used to be in dauntless. At the young age of 16, my mom was pregnant with my dad's baby. Neither of them has gone through any initiation yet. But when the time came my mom chose candor and my dad stayed dauntless. Every now and then I'll go to the dauntless compound to see him, but he's not always there. My mom resents my dad, she also hates me.

"Hey, Barbie girl!" My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a familiar voice.

"Stop calling me that, Logan!" I yell at him. Logan has teased me all My life. He calls me 'barbie' cause that's who I look like. I guess it's because I'm really thin with blond hair, But I'm not thin in a healthy way. My mom was always poorer than the rest of the candor and had 3 kids to feed. Since she hates me, she gives me the least amount of food, and often "forgets" to feed me.

"Someone's a bitch today, woke up on the wrong side of the bed?"

"Go away!" I say as smoothly as I can.

"Or is it because your mom is an asshole slut, Oh maybe it's 'cause your dad has been missing for almost two years!" he states.

"Just. Shut. UP!" I scream, voice cracking. He must notice I'm about to cry because he carries on.

"You know you're never going to see him again, you'll complete candor initiation and think you'll be a perfect little truth-teller, but then become a filthy little slut just like your mom!" he shot back. I was barely holding back tears at this point. I took a deep breath in, stepped forward, and slapped him across the face with as much force as I could. The look he gave me was a mixture of aw, shock, and anger. I then ran off to school.


~At School~

"Rough morning?" my friend Natasha asked

"You don't know what rough is, sister" I replied. " Hey, how are you feeling about the aptitude test?" I ask to change the subject. I didn't want to talk about Logan yelling at me…..Again.

"Shit, I'm worried as hell." She answered

"Me too, what if I get, like abnegation or something," I say sarcastically

"I know right. At least you don't have to choose what you get."

"true." I say "What do you think you'll get?" I ask.

"No Idea." She replies.

"You know you're like Erudite smart, maybe that's what you're gonna get," I say with a smirk

"Oh, with all those compliments you're selfless enough for Abnegation," She teased. I then stuck my tongue out playfully. I was happy to have her here to reduce the stress from the upcoming aptitude tests.

School went by too fast. Probably because the day was halved due to aptitude tests. I was chatting with some of the other kids from candor when finally my name was called.

"Katie Jones." A polite sounding woman calls. I'm up. I got up and walked towards the room. when I walk in all I see are mirrors. There are mirrors on all four walls. She has me sit in a big chair in the center of the room. Only then do I notice that she looks familiar,

"Are you Natalie Prior?" I ask. She looks familiar because she's Andrew Prior's wife.

"Yes I am, drink this," she said handing me a small glass with a blueish liquid inside.

After I drank it I felt dizzy as all hell. The last thing I saw before the world drifted away was Natalie sit down by a computer.

Once I was in the test I saw 2 baskets one with a chunk of cheese, and one with a knife.

"Choose!" a loud booming voice echoed behind me. I went to pick up the knife. Then the baskets vanished and a big angry dog appeared. Though I've always been a cat person, I couldn't bring myself to kill the dog, which I'm sure I was supposed to do. I panicked. I through the knife as far away as I could. It didn't go that far, instead, it hit the dogs leg cutting it.

"Shit!" I didn't want to hit it! I rip a strip of fabric from my sleeve and tie it the best I can on the dog's cut. Then everything disappeared.

I'm on a bus. the only thing I could focus on was a man with a newspaper, with my moms face on the back.

"Do you know her?" the man said pointing at my mom's picture.

"Yes I do, She's my..." I was again absorbed by darkness then as soon as the darkness came it went and I was back in the chair in the 'mirror' room.

"w-what did I get?" I asked.

"Candor," Natalie said. Shit, I'm not going back there "and Dauntless, and Amity."

"How...How did I get more than one?"

"it's rare, but your brain isn't wired like a candor, dauntless, amity, etc. in short, you're a divergent," she replied.

"what's divergent?"

"dangerous, very dangerous, Katie you seem like a sweet girl, promise me you won't tell anyone, "

"I won't but, why?"

"shh, no more questions, goodbye, and please be safe, "

"o-ok thanks" I still had so many questions but I knew I couldn't ask them. when I went back to the table I listened to Natasha and some other kid conversing very loudly. I couldn't focus on what was being said though. as soon as all the tests are finished I leave, Natasha seems worked but just lets me go. as I was running through the halls I am suddenly stopped then somehow on the floor. I soon realized I ran into someone, an animation boy with a typical buzz cut and gray clothing.

"oh uh sorry about that," he said rushing to his feet. he then lent out a hand, hesitantly I grabbed it and he helped me up.

"oh, it's ok, I'm sorry too, I'm Katie, " I don't know why I introduced myself it just felt right at the time.

"Tobias, nice to meet you, " he replied. he then nodded and we went our separate ways.

~At Home~

when I finally got home I couldn't stop thinking about Tobias. when I looked at him I saw something sad in his eyes, something far too familiar. *Knock knock* my sister, Mia walked into my room.

"Hey, Katie," she says half-heartedly. she seems tired, tired of mom that is.

"Hey, Mia," she walks in and sits with me on my bed. she does this a lot, I like talking with her, it helps a lot talking to someone going Through the same thing as you.

"so you know what faction you'll choose yet?" she asks.

"I have no idea" I stated causing her to giggle a bit.

"you could be an erudite, " she jokingly suggest. I laugh.

"don't you need a GPA of like 57 to get in cuz I don't think my 2.54 will cut it, " we both laugh.

"or you could be a farmer or a volunteer, OR you could jump off a building for fun, " she jokes.

"yeah, those all still sound better than staying in this hell hole of a faction, " she nods in agreement. we spent most of the night talking about boys and classmates until we decide to call it a night. I am completely anxious about tomorrow. but I think I know what I'll choose.

A/N yes I know that the chapter is kinda short. But I will make up for shorter chapters with quicker releases. BTW sorry that Tobias/four is a bit OOC. Welp goodbye peoples.
