Four
Why am I doing this? Why am I leaving the comfort of a faction, and willing to live in a faction with little to none food and limited necessities.
"Are you sure? Four, I don't think you understand how big of a decision this is. You won't be able to live in Dauntless after you sign that sheet of paper," Max warns. I know he doesn't want me to leave, you could tell by how he is practically begging me to stay. But I can't; I won't.
I answer him by signing the paper in front of me. I hear Max take a sharp intake of a breath and I hand him back the pen. "I'm sorry, Dauntless isn't the right place for me."
Max nods, still clearly in shock. I would be in shock too if I found out that the Dauntless Prodigy Four didn't believe he belonged in Dauntless. I nod at Max and leave his office.
The hallways are empty but the noise from the pit echoes off the walls, making it sound like there are hundreds of people in the hall at once. I walk into my apartment and pack up whatever I can. I knew I would always become factionless at one point of my life but I never thought it would be this soon.
And then there is Tris; the selfless girl from Abnegation. She was - is - beautiful. She would still be here if it weren't for Peter, the younger, clone version of Eric. Although, it might have been better if Tris didn't stay in dauntless. I suspected that she was Divergent ever since I met her. She would have been at the bottom of the chasm if they found out about her in the second and third stage of training. I don't know what I would do if she died. We weren't even remotely close, barely even friends, but I feel the need to protect her.
That is another reason why I want to be factionless, to make sure she is alright. The factionless could steal her food, or even try to kill her. Plus, knowing Tris, she would probably give up her good for another kid or an elderly. I grimace at the thought and continue packing in silence.
That night I leave Dauntless forever. I don't say goodbye to anyone, knowing that they will try to force me to stay. I jump onto the familiar moving train and sit in the far back corner. It's quiet, considering most Dauntless are eating right now. I don't want to see the reaction that Zeke and Shauna will have when they hear that I left.
They were my only real friends in Dauntless. It was either that I was too scary or that they were just using me because I was the guy with four fears was the reason why I didn't have many friends.
I watch as the factionless sector, also known as my new home, comes into view. I picture the guy I met when I was in Abnegation that lied to me when he said that Evelyn died. He probably will be shocked about my arrival, willingly giving myself up to them.
I jump off the train and walk the short distance to the factionless. I open the door to the small building and hushed whispers fill the air. I would yell at them to mind their own business but my eyes are trained at a beautiful girl.
Tris sits with Edward and Myra in the right corner of the room. Tris looks good, considering she is factionless. She looks like she is being well fed and there is still the spark in her eyes. I smile a little bit but break the gaze.
I see Evelyn standing in the corner of the room, talking to another man. She looks different from the last time I saw her, and her eyes are trained on mine. I advert my eyes from her and make my way to Tris's table.
Myra squeaks in surprise when I sit next to Tris with my arms crossed on the table. "Hey guys," I say trying to be friendly. They are the only people I know here and I'm not up for meeting new people.
"Hey, Four," Myra and Edward say at once. They both look at each other and give each other a peck on the lips. Tris wrinkles up her nose at the sight of PDA and I laugh.
I lean into her ear and see her eyes widen a little bit. "Still don't like kissing do you?" I whisper.
Tris smirks and leans into my ear, "No, just when you see them make out on a daily basis it tends to make you disgusted." Her lips brush against my ear and I shiver.
"I'm sure it does," I say and look at Edward and Myra. I never realized how in love they were in Dauntless. I was always busy with training them to notice their love for each other, especially when Edward kept on trying to protect Myra.
Tris sighs and states at Edward and Myra in a completely different way. Instead of my observing stare, she stares at them with envy. Almost as if she wants to be like them, madly in love to not realize the chaos around them.
I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn around to see Evelyn. "May I talk to you?" she asks and I hesitantly nod. I say goodbye to Tris, Edward, and Myra and follow Evelyn. She walks outside and stands in front of me.
"I'm afraid you made an unwise decision with choosing to become factionless, Tobias."
