-Unified Faction Leader-

We were at Dauntless Prime. We got here using back ways and alleys that the Factionless showed Tris a couple days ago. Now, I sat in the kitchen at the table, "So tell me, what do you know about Aniya Baxter?" I asked Tris.

"First, you answer me some questions. Like, what's your name and what's your role in the Factions."

"I've never had a name really. Well, I don remember my old one. When I was seven, I was whisked away to bear the curses of the people. My master always called me by kid, son, sport, slick, cocheese, hause, or apprentice. After a while, I guess I just forgot my name."

"That's so sad," Teirm stated, 'He's so cute though. I hope Terry doesn't notice me staring at him,' I look to her and she tries to why away unnoticed, '*gasp* He's staring! Does he know that I was just looking at him?'

I nod my head at her and she blushed a little, "How is that sad?"

"You forgot your own name, how is it not?" Teirm took a step closer to me, "Why not we give you a name?"

"I'm good. I don't need one," I stand from my chair.

"Yes you do!" Tris forced on me, "Everyone has to have a name."

"Not me, and like I said, I am good."

"How about Vincent?" Terry shrugged.

"Like I said, I'm fine," I shook my head.

"Why not Darius?" Tris suggested. I gasped and flinched at the name.

Immediately my mind went to my mentor hitting me when I was younger and up until I I was thirteen when he passed. I instinctively dropped to the ground covering my head. Waiting for that blow to the side of he head or the kick to my side.

"You okay?" Teirm asked me.

All I could say was, "Please, don't hit me anymore," I managed to say those words in a low whisper.

"What?" she didn't hear what I said.

I waited a few seconds before calming my now raging heartbeat. Tears flooded my eyes when I had flashbacks of my mentor hitting me every time I messed something up. Also, I remembered the times when I would do something right and he wouldn't even acknowledge that I did it right.

I shuddered and spoke louder, "That name must not be spoken in my presence," I demanded.

"What's wrong with that name?" Terry asked confused.

"I don't want to talk about it," I sat back on my ass and crossed my legs. I dropped my hands in my lap and looked at my hands.

"Hey," Teirm lifted my chin, "We've all been trough something horrible in our lives, so think of us as family."

"Family?"

"Yeah, we're all one big happy family. Whatever we say between us, stays between us. No one will ever know anything you say outside of us."

"So I can be part of a family? I... can belong?" I looked at her with hope. I've never been a part of a family before.

"Oh yeah," Terry sat down next to me along with Teirm, "You can just think of us as your siblings."

"I've never been part of a family before," I looked back at my hands as I felt my heart beat for the first time. This was the first time, in a long time, that I felt anything else besides emptiness and rage. It was all so strange to me to feel this rainbow of emotions, "I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything yet and if you decide on something. Decide first on what we should call you," Tris leaned back in her chair.

"Ya know, I haven't been to Abnegation in over five years and there was a girl there. She was obsessed with the whole idea of what I represent and the role I play in society. It was really strange, especially on one night. One night, she followed me to Dauntless and managed to not only sneak in, but render a guard unconscious. She put on his uniform and proceeded in finding me. By the time she found me, I was pretty trashed and at the time, I wasn't the Factions' most hated person. She somehow managed to seduce me and get me to sleep with her. Next day, I was accused of raping her. Luckily for me, I had enough acquaintances to say that I was at the bar with them all night. Also, the bar keep was so loyal to what I did, that he even backed me up. That day, I walked away clean. I didn't do it in the first place and I'm glad that nothing really bad came out of it."

"Why do you bring that up?" Tierm said in a heìrčed tone.

"Because I met someone during that time and his name was Simeon. He died, trying to save a family from a burning building," I felt a heavy weight bearing down on my heart, "I want to be named after him. He was the bravest person I have ever know. I want to be named him so I can be reminded of what he's done in his life."

"How old was he?"

"Sixteen. He managed to save three out of the five people in the building before it caved in on him. Those poor parents, that poor sister, lost their two closest family members. A grandmother and a baby brother."

"Was Simeon a friend of yours?"

I just looked at her, "Please, spare me of that question. I don't want to talk about it."

"What do you wanna talk about then?"

"The inevitable war."

"What war?" Tris raised an eyebrow.

"Don't play stupid with me Prior. Everyone in all of the Factions know that there is a war coming. And trust me when I say this, I don't get why all of you are planning a fight in the first place. If you want to have the Factions nulled, then just have all the Factions come together to work things out."

"It does make sense, but there's a catch. You stand in the way. You have the power to level cities with your mind and the Factions want to start the war so they could try and trick you."

"For what purpose? Like, why kill me. I only care about the balance of this world and if having no factions does so, I'm all for it."

"Even so, they want you dead. How are you going to deal with that? You can't necessarily sneak out of here."

"Yeah I could, but if they want to kill me, I'll let them. To be honest, I want it to be done and over with. I want all the turmoil from the Factionless to be gone. As I've stated before, all I care about is the balance. If laying down my life does it, then I'll do it."

"Why would you do that?" Teirm blurted out, "Why would you willingly get yourself killed. You could stay with us until this is all over."

"No!" I shouted back, "I will not allow such foolishness. I have my rules and you have yours."

"What are your rules then?" Teirm crossed her arms.

"You're challenging me aren't you?"

"No I'm not!" she protested.

"Yes you are and I think I can take you," I leaned in and smirked at her.

"Not in the slightest blondie," she jabbed a finger in my chest.

"Good," I chuckled.

"Now, what shall we do?" Tris asked.

"You three, shall know why I am the way I am."

"I thought you didn't want to talk about it?"

"I don't want to, but, I have a family. I know in my heart that you won't hurt me," I sat back down on the floor, "You shall know my story."

Terry and Teirm sat the kitchen table and looked at me, "It all started when I was seven. It was like any other day for a seven year old living in Amity..."

•Flashback to thirteen years. Amity Flower Centre.•

-Seven year old Simeon's POV-

I was at the Amity Flower Centre. I was there because my friend and I always played here because of all the flowers hid us well. We were both very shirt for our age which was good in hide and seek.

I was climbing a tree to look over the Amity members watering the flowers. Climbing things was my favorite thing to do. Don't know why, but it is.

I knelt on a branch to look for my friend. She was just like me. Tanned skin, white hair, golden eyes. She was just like me because she was more than a friend, she was my sister. My twin sister to be exact.

After a few minutes of waiting, my nose picked up a familiar scent. It was lavender and grape. My sister's favorite. I looked around and saw her slowly making her way toward me, 'What is it sister?' I thought.

'Theres something wrong at home,' I heard her voice ring in my head.

'Hold on,' I jumped and grabbed a branch with one hand. I swung and shifted toward the trunk of the tree. Driving my fingers in the bark, I let go and pushed away from it by my feet.

I landed on the ground with a thud and jogged up to my sister, "What's wrong?" I held her shoulders and looked into her watery red eyes.

"The Unified Faction Leader is here and he's been watching you."

"That's kinda creepy," I told her.

"No, he's been watching you because he wants you as his Apprentice."

"That's great!" I exclaimed, "So why the long face Kirian?"

"Because he's going to take you away from me and I won't see you again," she pushed her head into my chest and cried.

Despite us being so young, our bond was stronger than anyone's.

-Flash forward five years-

-Simeon, age twelve-

"Master?" I limped my way into his office, "My training for the day is done."

"Good," he was sitting in his chair doing some kind of paperwork, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"You know, I was thinking, maybe I could go visit my sister. Since I've been good and all."

He looked up at me and slowly made his way to me. He slapped me in the face and I fell, "You don't have a sister!" I focused my gaze on the floor and I felt a sharp pinch in my neck and I blacked out.

-Simeon-

I was sobbing at the story I told so far. I couldn't continue, "I can't continue with this. I thought I was strong enough but I'm not. He thought he forced me to forget my sister, or he tried. I never did, I tried finding her, but with no luck. I still remember her and I've tried to find her. But with no luck."

"Have you looked in the Factionless?" Tris said with sadness in her voice.

"Not fully. I haven't."

'Brother!' I heard yell in my head and flinched.

"What's wrong?" Tris leaned forward.

I closed my eyes and allowed my mind to extend itself for as far as it could. I felt something familiar and a warm presence that I've missed for thirteen long years, 'Kirian?"

'Hey...'

'Where are you?'

'I'm outside. I heard you were at Dauntless then moved through the Factionless.'

I opened my eyes and slowly got up, "Someone's at the door and it's for me," I tell them, "This one, I want to do alone."

I quietly moved toward the door and gripped the knob. I inhaled and exhaled slowly and slowly turned the knob. Slowly opening the door revealed a woman.

Her hair was down to her waist in one long braid, which was slung over her shoulder. It was as white as mine, with eyes as gold as mine as well. Her skin was tanned like mine also.

"Brother?" she smiled sheepishly.

"Sister?" I stretched out my hand to make sure she was real. She stepped forward into my hand and I felt her warm flesh. She lifted a hand and held mine that was caressing her face, "Where have you been?"

"Deep within Factionless, awaiting for the day you came back."

I pulled her in by the hand and closed the door behind her, "Mom? Dad?"

"They died in the Agricultural strike a few years back. It was when, uh, you know," 'your master', "died."

"At least you're alive. I've missed you so much."

"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to hug me?"

I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tight, "No matter how much power I gain, it would never would've rid me of how I missed you so. I tried coming back to you, but..."

She hugged me back, "I see your memories and I understand. You don't have to explain."

"I've missed you so much Kirian."

"I've missed you too Orion."

I pulled away from her, "Orion?"

"That's your name. Don't you remember your own name?"

"My master never called me by my name and over time, I guess I forgot."

"But you remembered my name."

I pressed my head against hers, "That's because you were the only sunlight in my constant storm. I couldn't forget about you."

She let go of me and I her. She looked around the house, "Lets talk about something more pleasant. Like the decor of this place. I imagined you choosing a place with a little more... well, just something more."

"There is nothing wrong with my house," she jumped at the sound of Tris' voice, "It's perfectly fine thank you."

Kirian moved past me and looked at the blonde who was now rolling herself in with her two friends, "Who might you people be?"

"This is my family. It's little and broken, but who isn't broken right?" I chuckled, "I found it, all on my own."

"What?" Kirian looked at me with a high level of disbelief.

"Yeah. I only met them today, but I know I want them as a family. With our parents being dead, I guess now that they're the family I have now."

"I don't really follow."

"Since I've been alone ally life, the thing I wanted more than anything was to have a family. They took me in and accepted me. I couldn't say no. Not to hem anyway."

"I don't think you should be just jumping into a family you hardly know."

"What I do know is that when they said they'll be my family, they meant it. I read them as far as that goes."

"I dunno Orion."

"You can't jus pop into my life and start running the show, Kirian."

"I'm not trying to run your life, I just wanted to make sure that you're sure about all of this."

"I am and that's final."

"Okay," her voice was quiet and shy.

"Good, now I want to catch up with you. My first question, how did you become factionless?"

"After you left, I started a society that was loyal to you. We tried our best to find you and raise awareness that you needed to come back home. No one listened to us of course and then began getting sick and tired of us. So eventually, they kicked me out of Amity."

"Wow, that's harsh. You know you're an annoyance hen Amity gets upset and kicks you out. I'd imagine Candor, or Dauntless, or Erudite to do that, not Amity."

"Well, it's all okay. I met new friends. Got married. And then had a kid."

This news was shocking to me. It really spurred the brother in me awake, "You have a husband?"

"Yeah, his name is Connor. You can meet him if you want. And you could meet your niece if you want too. She's going to turn three in a couple months."

"Aaaw man," I pressed myself against the wall and slid to my butt, "This is a lot to take in."

"I know it is Orion."

"Orion?" Teirm asked, "Sounds like a disease to me."

"It's my brother's name," Kirian got defensive, "It's a beautiful name and is not a disease."

"Sorry for pointing out what I think," Teirm stuck her tongue oh at her.

"You must be a Candor transfer aren't you?"

"How could you tell?"

"I could tell by your arrogant and pompous attitude."

"Fuck you."

"Not even on your birthday sweet'a't."

"Okay ladies," Terry pulled Teirm back, "I think that we had enough meet and greet for today."

"We will have our time snow ball," Teirm hissed.

"Snow ball?" Kirian cocked and eyebrow.

"Just forget it," I interjected, "Just move on you two."

I could feel the tension between them and I knew they needed to be separated at all times. Or have someone watch them when they're in the same room as each other.

"No! I wanna know what she means by 'Snow Ball'!" Kirion pushed me back and got in Teirm's face.

"You have snow white hair and your a ball of agony."

"Well you're a Candor Reject," Kirion poked her chest on each syllable.

"Oh, that's it!" Teirm lunged at my sister and they crashed to the floor.

They rolled around on the ground and no one could reach in to pull them apart, "Kirion! Kirion! Stop it!" I clapped my hands.

"Get your bitch sister off my girlfriend," Terry shoved my shoulder.

"She's not a bitch," I shoved him back.

"Don't shove me!" Terry pushed me back and I pushed him back.

"Don't you shove me."

"What's your problem dude? Your girlfriend started the fight!"

"Your sister called her a reject."

"You're saying it as though its my fault."

"Will you two stop fighting?" Tris interrupted.

"And who are you to stop us from fighting?" Terry snapped at her.

"Yeah, we're fighting and you're interrupting," I agreed.

"Don't fight me because I'm trying robe the sensible one. I'm not the freak here," Tris yelled at me.

"How am I the freak, you're the one who's divergent, not me."

"What does that even mean?"

"You're ignorance is showing tiny one."

"Don't call me that!"

"Oof!" I felt something hit the back of my legs. I looked back and saw the two girls still rolling around on the floor and punching each other.

"You see what your hotheaded girlfriend is doing to my sister?" I yelled.

"Teirm didn't start this!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" we looked to the door and saw Eric standing there. He walked over to the wrestling girls and pulled them apart by the collar. When they wanted to continue fighting he put both their heads in a head lock. He quickly thumped their heads together and they fell back rubbing them.

"Who the fuck are you?" Kirion asked as she held her aching head.

"There's two of you?" Eric fully realized she. He looked at my sister and I.

"Who's this ass clown?" she asked.

"I'm Eric, Tris' boyfriend."

"What?" Kirion and I exclaimed in unison, "That ball of springs is your girlfriend?" I looked to the blonde.

"That's not the point, the point is, what's going on here?" he asked forcefully.

"Met my sister and she apparently doesn't get along with Teirm. Terry and I got into a fight about who started the fight. Your girlfriend, who needs muzzling by the way, got into a man's fights."

"Well I don't care who started the fight, I'm going to finish it," Eric pulled the two women to their feet by their collars, "Now I want you two to come with me," he pulled them into the living room and we followed.

He slung them into the couches. One on either side, "Now, I don't know you twin sister, but I do know you Teirm. You don't fight every person that threatens you."

"That makes me Dauntless."

"No, that makes you stupid," Eric stated before turning to Kirion, "What's the deal with you?"

"What do you mean Doucheface?"

"Fuck you."

"Not even on your birthday love," she smirked.

"Okay, okay, lets not get carried away now," I tell them.

"My name is Kirian and I came out of hiding because I heard my brother was within the Factions, in Dauntless. So I had to come and meet him."

"I didn't know he had a brother."

"That's because he was taken from me when we were young. Now, we can be together. It will make all things right.

"What things?" I asked.

"The factions want you dead to achieve total integration."

"What if they knew I don't care about them uniting?"

"Legend says that before the factions, there was a breed of super humans running around. The factions sealed their powers and factions were built around the world. If a faction were to destroy the only thing that kept them divided, they all will achieve total enlightenment and rule the world."

"Sounds kinda stupid to me."

"That stupid legend is real brother and they're coming down hard. They will find you, and they will kill you."

"How will they kill me?"

She closed her eyes and connected her mind to mine, 'You remember last time you came to Erudite years ago and you wiped out almost everyone.'

I closed my eyes and images of that day flashed between our minds, 'I do.'

"You killed them with the love, you had, for her.'

'Why do you bring that up?'

'Forgive me,' we both opened our eyes and ended our mind bond, "My husband and child are at stake here."

She pulled out a device and clicked a red button, "What are you doing?"

She kept quiet and Dauntless members broke through the door and came crashing through the windows. Before long, we were completely surrounded. Guns were aimed at all of us.

"Wow," I scoffed, "Thirteen years of no contact and this is how you make one hell of a family reunion. Oh you're good, you're amazing Kirion."

"Hello Orion," Kay, the Dauntless Leader came in with his hands behind his back and a smirk on his face, "Nice seeing you again."

"It's Simeon actually," I crossed my arms.

"As in fish face?" Kirion asked.

"Yeah, he was a great man and him I will take after."

"Simeon then," Kay's smirk widened, "Your death shall be quick and for the greater good."

I held out my hands, "Then cuff me Kay and there's one thing you outta know."

"Oh yeah? What would that be?"

"I would've told you the secrets about total enlightenment for the asking."

His smile faded, "Really?"

"Yes, but since you're going to kill me, what's the point?"

"If you don't tell us," he pulled my sister up from the couch and gripped her hair. A gun was pressed at her temple, "I will kill your sister."

"Then do it, she was going to allow me to be killed," I disarmed a Dauntless member and busted his gun in half. I relieved him of his cuffs and cuffed my hands behind my back, "Now, take me back to the compound and kill me in front of everyone like you've planned."

"Why not kill you here?"

"Because the prophecy states that all five factions must have a hand in killing me."

"How do you know all of this?" Kirion hissed, "I thought you knew nothing."

"I came down to choose my prodigy, but there was a change in plans. There was a war against me that I knew Erudite and Dauntless cooked up. So I came to now lay down my life for the factions. Take my life and leave my dignity behind for my family."

"They're on their way to death as well. For harboring a fugitive."

I looked to them and extended myself to them, 'I've got a plan guys. Just keep your heads down, they won't kill us until the moon is set.'

"Let's go then," I smile and walk toward the door then stop, "My sister, your death will be slow and painful and caused by me."

I walk out the door and felt the cool breeze of the evening hit my face.
