I do not own Divergent, nor am I Veronica Roth
I have seven fears. Factionless, family hating you, war, intimacy, heights, being thrown into the chasm, and shooting my family. I only have seven, that is pretty good considering dad still has the lowest with four, and mom has six. Facing all your fears can be pretty tiring, I lay down and pull the covers up over my body.
Riley's POV
After Talia leaves Ethan gets up and walks into the room with my Uncle. Talia thinks that I'm not nervous, but I can't stop my leg from moving. I only know that she got out within 30 minutes, that is faster than any of the transfers, I think she will get first. My divergence hasn't showed through yet, apparently to Four and Six, they haven't asked about it. I know that my dad is Divergent, he told me right before the aptitude test that he was. Mom isn't, but she knows about him, I told him right when I got home that day, also that I was going to pick Dauntless. He said that I needed to hide it in the fear landscape and simulations, I guess I've done a pretty good job.
Ethan comes out about 55 minutes later and now it is Melissa's turn, I'm next. All I have thought about is being Divergent and Talia, I love her it almost hurts. I was so worried that when I asked her if we can get an apartment together that she would say no, but she didn't. Her blue eyes and blond hair always get me, the dark blue that she gets from her dad and the blond hair from her dad. Melissa eventually comes out, and Zeke calls me up. I walk through the door and he pats my shoulder. I walk over to the chair and Four comes over.
"Don't show it Riley, figure out a way to conquer it" He says. He is talking about Divergence, did dad tell him.
"I know Uriah is, I did his fear landscape too" I nod and he sticks the needle in my neck.
I open my eyes and I see that I am by the chasm, this is the one where I lose all of the people I love. All of my aunts and uncles go first, just stepping off the railing. Eventually my family steps up, Rylin in front.
"No! Rylin don't!" She steps off. Abbi, Cody and Finn all go, all while I scream at them. Mom steps up.
"Mom, please listen to me" She doesn't even acknowledge me before she steps off. Dad steps off right after her and the only person left is Talia, she steps up, and I stand in between the edge and her.
"You can't leave me, I love you!" I yell at her, she moves to the left and I follow her. She wouldn't leave me, she loves me. I think. This isn't real she does love me. I shut my eyes tight and step away.
About 4 fears later I get to one that I have been in before. Snakes. My dad has this fear too. I am stuck in the glass box, snakes start poring in and I try pushing them off, stepping on them, what ever I can do to get the off of me. One bites my arm and I scream out in pain, I look at the spot that was bitten and see no marks. That didn't actually happen, this isn't real. I sit down and think about the snakes and them being gone.
Now I am in the dining hall and everyone seems to be laughing at something. I turn around and everyone is looking at me and pointing, still laughing. I look down and see that I am wearing regular Dauntless clothes, I don't know what is so funny. I've never heard this many people laugh before, my dad always makes people laugh, but I guess I have never been as funny. I'm not funny, not real.
Now I am in me and Talia's spot, below the chasm, but I'm not alone. I look to the left and see Talia and Ethan, they're making out. I stand up and go next to them.
"Talia, what are you doing!?" I yell, she continues kissing him. I pull her shoulder back and she looks around, not evening noticing me, then going back to making out. I put my hand on her right shoulder and squeeze, that's her bad one. She should be screaming out in pain, but she isn't. Talia would not do this.
I have two more fears after that one, I shoot up in my chair and see Four in front of me. He nods his head and says,
"Good job, your good. By the way she is staying with us tonight, her surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 8:00 a.m" I nod and walk out of the door with Uncle Zeke behind me.
"Riley" He calls. I turn around and he high fives me. I run to the dorm and see Talia asleep in her bed. I decide to join her.
Talia's POV
I wake up to warm arms around me, they belong to the love of my life. Riley. I turn around to face him and see that he is already awake.
"Morning beautiful" He says. I feel my cheeks heat up.
"Hi" I say. He smiles and wraps his arms tighter around me.
"How many" I ask. He pulls back and we both lock eyes, mine to his piercing light blue, and his to my dark blue.
"10" He says.
"That's great Ri! That almost guarantees you a top 3 score" I say he nods.
"You?" He asks
"7" I say
"Your going to get 1st, I love you so much" He says. I nod and snuggle into his chest.
"We have two hours before the ceremony, what do you want to do?" He asks
"Sleep" I say smiling. I feel him nod and I snuggle deeper into his chest.
People begin shouting and I open my eyes. I don't feel Riley anymore so I get up. I look around and spot him next to Daniel. I get out of bed and brush my hair with my fingers, I walk over and say hi.
"Hello my beautiful lady" He says putting an arm around my waist.
"Is it time yet?" I ask.
" Yeah, I was just going to wake you up" He stands up fixing his grip around my waist and we begin walking down to the dining hall. When we get there we sit down in are regular seat. All of the leaders step up and all of Dauntless starts shouting.
"Dauntless!" Dad yells.
" Dauntless aren't big on speeches, so lets just get onto the ranks" A screen pops up with names. Riley squeezes my hand and I look up at the list.

I got first! and Riley got second! All of my friends made it.
"Everyone who's name is not on the list you have today to pack up your stuff and say goodbye" Mom announces
"Congratulations to everyone else" Jace yells, then adds "Go Talia" Mom and dad laugh and Jace runs over to me and squeezed the life out of me.
"Jace... Can't... Breath..." I say. He pulls away
"Opps, sorry" He says, he walks back over to mom and dad. Riley turns to me.
"We made it" He says pressing his forehead to mine.
"We did" I say. I press my lips to his and he kisses me back. It's a good life.
So I have decided that my new schedule is every other day, then one more. If your confused that basically means that, take today, Sunday... the next time I am updating will be Wednesday. I will try updating every other day, but I want to have a backup day. Anyways so I read your reviews and I figured why not for Riley's fear landscape, I didn't do all of his fears, because omg it is harder than it looks to come up with fears. So I did it! I can do what Ethan thinks of the relationship, but I want you guys to tell me what you want. Thank you for all the things you do! HAVE A GREAT NIGHT ~ Cam
