Dauntless

Eric sighed as he walked the long corridor halls of the compound. He had been running the faction over the last year since Max went rogue with Jeannine and tried to kill all the Divergent.

He had to meet with his 2nd in command and best friend Four. They both came from different factions, but were made for Dauntless. Eric born in Erudite had a mean streak to him that not many ever saw past, but those that did knew why he acted cruel and cold. His time in Erudite was not one of the best and he vowed to make a better life for himself. Four, formerly known as Tobias was from Abnegation, but ran away to escape his abusive father. They were the perfect misfits and matched one another's energy.

He walked into the elevator and hit the 3rd floor, tapping his foot, impatiently, as he waited for the elevator to open. When it did he marched down another hall until he came to room made of complete glass filled with computers and TVs. Four stood with his back to the door as he looked over a computer screen with one the security guys.

"I'm here" Eric said walking into the room,

"You said it was important, what's going on?"

Four turned to face Eric with a stressed look on his 22-year old face.

"We've got a huge problem." Four turned back to the computers and pointed at one of the monitors.

"Do you recognize her?" he asked Eric pointing to a girl on the screen

Eric got closer to get a better look, it took him all of 30 seconds to put a name with the face. The face of the girl he was forced to give up 2 years ago,

"It can't be…" Four nodded his confirmation,

"What is she doing near one of our safe houses?" Eric's forehead was wrinkled as he tried to figure out how she managed to get over 500 miles away from the east coast where she was supposed to be living under the alias as Gabriella Santiago.

"I don't think she went there willingly." Four said interrupting Eric's thoughts, "

Look at this…" the footage clearly showed Max Eberhart, the former leader of dauntless holding Gabriella at gun point and forcing her inside before cutting of the footage so they couldn't see what happened next. Eric ran his fingers through his hair and gave out a huff.

"We have to bring her sister and Jacob home.

With her being kidnapped all of their safety is at risk and their security details compromised. They were under the same leadership team, if he got her he can get to the others."

Four nodded his head in agreement, "I'll assemble a team now. If we get them out of here tonight they should be able to get to Isabella and Jacob in the next few days-"

Eric shook his head, "No we need to go. As of now we can't trust anyone. For all we know Jacob and Bella could be next."

Four knew he was right. "I want a team assembled and ready to raid that safe hours in 2 hours, is that clear?" Four asked in a stern voice directed to the soldiers in the room. Nodding their understanding, "Yes sir!"

Eric and Four made their way out of the room and began to walk down the hall to the elevator.

"You get a truck, I'll grab Tris and we can go." Four said. Tris was one of the newest initiated

Dauntless, like Four and Eric she was at the top of her initiate class and Four's girlfriend, she was also a former Abnegation member.

Isabella walked the halls of Forks High School with her best friend Alice and boyfriend Edward. She met them when she "moved to Washington to stay with her dad" her freshman year of high school and the 3 of them had been inseparable ever since. Alice was Edward's twin sister. Their older brother Emmett was a year older and dating Alice's boyfriend's twin sister, Rosalie. The Whitlocks and Cullens were Bella's best friends, spending all her free time with them and vice versa. They loved her and she loved them but no matter how much time they had spent together or how long they'd known each other Bella still felt as if something was missing. She had been away from her family for 2 years, but it still only seemed like yesterday that she was with her family laughing and smiling and then she and sister were being separated and shipped to different parts of the country with no knowledge of where the other was.

"How was Calc?" Edward asked as he threw his arm around Bella as they walked down the hall. She shook her head, "I swear Mr. Wilson hates us. He gave us a 25-point quiz with the most difficult questions known to man."

Edward laughed and shook his head, "I told you to take it with me last semester." Bella just shook her head.

"Bells if you really need the help I can ask Jasper if he could help you out. He's a genius when it comes to math, how do you think I passed my midterm?" Alice said walking down the hall.

They made their way to the cafeteria and sat at their usual table. Rosalie and Emmett were already there and Jasper wasn't far behind them as they all sat down. Alice sat in between Rosalie and Jasper while Bella sat between Edward and Emmett.

"Hey there squirt!" Emmett said with a huge grin.

Bella couldn't help but smile, Emmett seemed to have that effect on everyone he came around. He was easily the brother Bella didn't have and she loved every minute of teasing and bullying he gave her.

"Hi Emmett, how are you? Ready for you game this Friday?" she asked as she ate sliced oranges off the tray Edward had went grabbed for her.

Emmett slapped his hand on the table loud enough for the cafeteria to hear, "Hell yeah! Gonna kick Milton's ass!"

Rosalie smiled shaking her head as she kissed his cheek.

"And I'll be right there cheering you on." Emmett threw his arm over her shoulder before pulling her in for a loving kiss.

Bella couldn't help but think about how her father used to do that to her mother when they were lounging around at home. It made her sad thinking about it, but she couldn't help herself. Everything reminded her of the life she once had and it pained her to think about all she was forced to give up and live without while everyone around her talked about everything she'd ever lost. She felt a pain in her chest, like there was hole there that she couldn't repair.

"Bella!" Alice exclaimed across the table making everyone else jump. "Did you hear a word I said?" Alice asked a little annoyed.

"I'm sorry, I-I was thinking about something." She said sheepishly

Alice shook her head, "What is up with you lately? You've been checked out for the past few weeks and don't say school."

Rosalie nodded her head in agreement, "Yeah you have been kind of lately."

Alice raised her eyebrows, "A little? She's been M.I.A. all month." Edward started to speak up cause he knew where this was going and didn't like them ganging up on Bella, but it was too late. Bella shoved her chair back so hard is made a screeching sound.

"I'm sorry I'm not being a friend YOUR terms. What is wrong with me not being able to go shopping with you because I had to work, or spending the night because I've been studying for a placement exam I have to take for early admission to Dartmouth, excuse the hell out of me!" Bella was pissed; here she was really struggling with trying to be someone she wasn't and her "friends" were being petty over a few missed dates. "You know I love you guys, but sometimes you can be really selfish!" With that Bella walked out of the cafeteria.

Edward just glared at his twin sister and Rosalie before getting up and following Bella. He thought she'd maybe gone to her locker, but she wasn't there so he figured he'd try the library, but on his way there he saw a familiar SUV drive by, it was Bella and she was leaving. Edward stood at the window watching as she drove out the parking lot, down the street and out of sight.

They just don't get it, if only they knew who I really was. What I was going through and how alone I felt. Bella thought to herself as she drove to the police station. Even though Charlie wasn't her father and he was a bit awkward she still found comfort in being able to go to him when she needed to.

Walking into the station Bella walked past the front desk and right into the back, ignoring all the stares she got as she did so. It was the middle of the day, so she figured it was because she was supposed to be in school but that didn't bother her because she walked right into her "dad's" office without knocking. Charlie looked up from the paper work he had on his desk, the office phone in one hand.

"Hey Scotty I'm gonna have to call you back." He said hanging the phone up. "Bella? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at school? Is everything ok?"

Bella didn't answer any of his questions, instead she plopped down in a seat and took a deep breath before speaking, "I know why I'm here and believe me when I say I am truly grateful for all you have sacrificed for me, but I need to go home. I can't live like this, this double life that was forced upon me. I don't want to do this, I won't do this." As Charlie listened he got up and sat in front of Bella as she let out all her frustrations till she was done.

"Bella, I'm not going to sit here and act like I understand what you're going through because I don't. What I do know is that I am here to protect you and keep you out of harm's way, but I am here if you need to talk. I know you want to go home, but until I am given the order to return you to Dauntless my hands are tied." Bella quickly wiped the tears that spilled over while he told her this. It wasn't like she didn't already know this, but it certainly didn't make her feel any better.

Eric was driving with Four in the passenger seat and Tris in the backseat. They had been on the road for 6 hours and were closing in on Forks, Washington. What he was going to do when he got was a complete mystery. He knew Bella was going to go crazy when she learned of her sister's kidnapping, but he had to tell her one way or another because if she found out from anyone, but him he'd be as good as dead.
