Special thanks to .1 for being so supportive throughout the story! THANK YOU SO MUCH! XD
I open my mouth to speak, to ask, to extinguish my burning curiosity, but I am interrupted by the opening of the iron door. A tall Dauntless man enters and begins to silently count the number of Divergent in the room. I turn from Finnick for a moment and glance at Uriah. Flashing me a wicked grin, he whispers something to the other Divergent near him.
Standing up, we all begin to walk around the room, confusing the guard's counting. The wide man grunts in frustration, and begins again. Finally, the guard becomes furious, and screams.
"STOP MOVING YOU IMBICLES!" He shouts shrilly. Laughing, I begin to move faster, darting around the others in the room. Considering the circumstances, this may be one of the final chances we all have for this. For fun.
Suddenly, from the front of the room comes a loud Bang! A smoking hole appears next to my head. The bullet cut into the steel wall as if it was a thin slice of bread. What would it have done to me, if I had been an inch back?
"I missed on purpose. Anyone wish to test me?" He asks, waiting. The guard is answered with screaming silence. I slink down to the ground. Instantly, my cheeks flush. How cowardly can you be?! I ask myself. I begin to rise slowly when I see that everyone else has sunk to the floor.
The guard lets a maniacal grin creep onto his face. He lets out a rough guffaw and states firmly, "Good. Rob? Round 'em up. It's time for you Divergents to go beyond the fence."
Our hands are cuffed and several guards precede and follow our large group. I walk in between Finnick and Uriah. Finnick seems elated to be leaving. I have determined that he is mad. The people that came from Panem left the desolate county decades ago. Finnick must be delusional, and scared.
We arrive at the gates near the Amity compound. I wince as one of the Dauntless guards breaks the gate's lock and shoves the metal chain barrier back. Slowly, the fifty seven Divergents walk through the gap. Hundreds of people chant from the sides, jeering and whooping excessively as we walk outside of the fence.
As I exit the place that I have always called home, a cold, heavy fist squeezes my heart. I don't want to leave! My head screams. I fight the strong urge to turn and run back into my world, forcing my legs to move forward.
Grabbing my elbow, Uriah leads me to the place where Tris and Four stand. Together we watch as the last of the Divergents exit the city. Slamming the gates shut, the guards yell for us to move on.
So, we do. We walk into the dense forest, not knowing what truly lies beyond the fence.
