A Divergent Story

Chapter 2

I saw a guy who looks like he can, and will take down anything and anyone that gets in his way. I keep looking and wondering about the tiniest features on him. How his muscles show threw his tight short sleeve shirt, how he holds himself. You can tell a lot by how a guy holds himself, for instance how he is slightly leaning up against the net for just the right amount of balance.

Shortly after I'm done I finally hear his strong manly voice;

"You get pushed or something?" He eyes me up and down, looking at my now tangled hair and my Abnegation clothes until his eyes meet mine again.

"No." I reply slightly out of breath from the jump. "Are you surprised?" This time it's my turn to ask a question. He nods just slightly for only me to notice, hoping the others that were behind him, wouldn't notice. A second later I feel strong hands find their way up to my waist to help me off of the net. As they start to lift me up, I place my hands on his shoulders for a little extra support until I feel my feet firmly on the ground again.

"What's your name?" Great, more questions.

"It's Be-." I'm wondering whether or not I should tell him my full name or just say a nickname.

He shakes his head a little. "Is it a hard one?... you can pick again but make it good, you don't get to choose again." Well he just put my thoughts at rest… for now.

"Uh okay… My names' Tris." I say with a little confidence. That's a pretty good name, it's a part of my name but yet totally different.

He pauses for a moment and I could have sworn I saw the left side of his mouth curve up just a little bit. "First jumper Tris!..." He lowers his voice so he's not puncturing my ear drum anymore. "Welcome to Dauntless." People yell out, but as soon as the yelling stops, we hear a guy scream coming from above.

Second jumper.

He wraps his hand around my back just so his arm and fingertips are touching my back where it curves into my spine, and pull me away from the net.

… 20 Minutes Later …

The last jumper just got off the net. One of the Dauntless leaders just separated us from the Dauntless Born and took them somewhere else.

"Okay my name is Four, I'm one of your trainers!" Once again that loud voice makes my ears flinch.

'So that's his name, Four. I think he changed his name to Four, wonder what it was before.

Christina is standing in front of me, and I can hear her catcher breath like she's about to ask a question.

"Four like the number?" 'Oh no Christina don't say anything you might regret later.'

"Exactly like the number." Four replys with a smirk on his face that most girls would melt over… but not me.

"What happened, one threw three were taken?" I nudge Christina in the back with my elbow. 'I can't believe she said that to Four. Four's expression on his face changes into a dangerously wicked smile.

"What's your name?" By the tone in his voice, I could tell he's about to tell Christina off for saying what she did.

"Christina." She has confidence in her voice that if I were her, I wouldn't have in that situation. Four walks forward until he is inches from Christina's face.

"Well, Christina. First lesson you learn from me is keep your mouth shut, or someone else will shut it for you. And I will be there to watch it happen, and I won't save you." I can hear Christina swallow her dignity as she nods nervously.

"Now follow me for a tour!" Christina looks at me with a 'oh my god I'm still shaking!' face.

… A Few Hours Later …

Four gave us a tour and showed us where we'll be sleeping. We also managed to squeeze in dinner with the Dauntless members and initiates. Christina and I made two new friends, Al and Will. I could tell after a few minutes of watching Christina talk to Will, that she likes him… and he likes her back.

… The Next Morning …

CLING CLING CLING CLING!

Everyone wakes up immediately and moves their heads to the door and we see Four with a cup in his hand.

"I want everyone in the pit, two minutes!" Four yells with absolutely no tiredness in his voice, when her turns and walks out.

We all get up and get dressed, yesterday we had to burn our old clothes which I think was a little too much considering that's the only thing that we have left to remind us of our old homes.

Everyone is dressed and we all run down to the pit in a hurry not wanting to be late on our first day of training. Four and Eric told us about the board yesterday and the people below the red line get cut and become factionless, since they already explained that when we got there Four motioned with his hand to follow him. He led us to the training room for physical fighting.

"Everyone get into pairs and start stretching and after that, start practicing blocks and hits! I will be coming around to help anyone who needs it! Move get going!"

Christina and I decide to partner up and start to stretch. After a couple of minutes of stretching we decide to start will blocks.

"Our arms are starting to get bruised." I look down at my arms and think of something to say back to Christina's complaint.

"Stop complaining, we just need to get this done."

"Okay." Christina says with an annoyance in her voice that I never want to hear again.

A couple minutes passed and we hear Four's voice ring out.

"First jumper in the ring! Last jumper in the ring!" 'Oh no I'm not ready to fight anyone! Christina was too busy complaining that we barely made progress, and now he wants us to fight! This is the end of me, if I don't make it out, tell my brother and parents that it was Christina's fault.' I think to myself. But I do what I'm told and step up onto the ring.

"How long do we fight for?" She asks Four.

"Until one of you concedes or the other one passes out!" 'Crap, I'm gonna get knocked out in my first fight! Great.'

We start fighting and I quickly get tripped and I'm suddenly on the ground. She gets on top of me but I do a back roll and now I'm on top of her punching her as hard as I can. She stops fighting back.

Unconscious.

I stop and get off of her and look at Four when I'm still breathing heavy. He looks impressed.

"Someone take her to the infirmary!"

Will walks over and helps me up, then bends back down to pick her up and droops one arm around his neck and walks over to the door with her still like that. I get off of the mat while Four calls the next pair up to fight.

… 3 Days Later …

I made no progress what so ever, I walk over to the board and I'm below the red line still. 'I'm never gonna make it, I'm number 32, how am I supposed to get above to red line now?' I ask myself.

I take action during night. I sneak out while everyone is asleep and go to the punching bags, I start getting really good, and then I see Four walking over towards the door. He looks back at me practicing and I quickly look away trying to avoid eye-contact and I start punching again.

… 3 Days Later …

We're already training, I glance at the board and see that I'm above the red line and I'm really close to the top! But… Al is just below it and on the verge of going lower. 'I really hope he makes it, it would be a tragedy to see him go factionless.

… The Next Day …

CLING! I'm walking back to where everyone sleeps and I hear a noise, kind of like someone is following me. I feel hands tightly wrap around my stomach and pull me up right when the other grabs my arms, and another grabs me legs! I try to scream but they cover my mouth, and they take me to the edge of the pit, where someone slipped and almost died the other day! Their hands slipped from my mouth and I take that opportunity to scream aloud;

"Help somebody help! AHHHHHHHH!"

"HEY!" I hear someone's voice come from the right of me where we came from, but it sounds so familiar I just can't put my finger on it. And then all of a sudden I see him. Four. He just pulled one of them off of me and knocked out the others. I looked down with heavy eyelids at my shirt and pants and realized that they are completely torn up because I was fighting back. My shirt is torn by my bra up and down so you can see my bra and my boobs plus my flat stomach.

"Tris are you okay can you hear me?" His arms pull me to him, and then it went dark.

I wake up not knowing where I am, I quickly sit up and realize that I'm not wearing the same shirt I was yesterday. And then Four walks in with a bowl and a rag and walks over to me and helps me stand up and walks me over to the ledge outside on the balcony. He moves my hair away from my neck, but while doing so, his hand brushes my skin in the crook of my neck.

"How are you feeling?" 'Four cares a lot more than I realize now.

"I'm not sure. Too many different emotions going on inside me that I'm feeling. It's hard to tell which one I'm mainly feeling." I really want to kiss him, he looks like he just put his walls down that he built for so long, just to see if I'm okay. He puts the bowl down and dips the rag in it and rings it out. He then leans forward until his mouth is only two inches from mine and lightly touches it to my neck to help the scratches heal faster. It stings a lot so I quickly bring my hand to his and as soon as I rest my hand on his, he looks me dead in the eye and wraps his arm around me and brings me to him. The kiss is passionate and lasts a long time. I wrap my arms around his neck as the kiss becomes more deep and intimate. I push my mouth hard into his and he does the same. And then everything around us just fades away.
