I sit on a bench next to Chris. Steph was gone before we woke up, her mattress bare and her drawers empty. The rest of the transfers share the same bench as us. Across the small room is another bench full of dauntless born members. Sitting across from me is the dark blonde guy that I saw jump first from the roof. He is laughing at a joke another dauntless boy said and the girl next to him has her hand on his shoulder laughing as well.

"Hey, which one of you were ranked first?" James yells to the dauntless borns.

The first jumper answers "Does it really matter, our lowest rank can still beat your weak ass in a fight." I think that I am going to like this guy.

"So, I take it that means you were first", James reply's angry.

"Nope, I was second."

"Oh, I guess you talk pretty big for being a loser" James sneers at him.

"You gonna let him talk to like that, come on Justin kick his ass." The girl next to him yells. I see James get up from the bench and look at the boy Justin, he is just smiling.

"Kat "he says to the girl next to him, "why don't you do it, like I said even the lowest ranked dauntless can beat you." Kat smiles and starts to stand when the door opens and Four steps into the room. He looks at James in the middle of the room and pinches the bridge of his nose, it is obvious he doesn't like James.

"Today is your first day of stage two. We believe in the saying face your fears and today that is exactly what you will be doing. One by one you will come into this room behind me and enter a simulation that will be one of your fears. You can only get out of the simulation once you compose yourself enough for your heart rate to register normal or you find a way to beat your fear head on. James, since your already standing why we don't start with you." A slight smile on his face. James looks to be turning a slight shade of green as he follows Four into the room.

"So, who really was first?" I ask.

Justin looks up at me and for the first time I really see him. Not really tall for a guy, but is built far more then I think a 16 year old should be, and his eyes are the lightest blue I have ever seen almost as blue as the sky on a really bright day. He gives me a slight smile and points to the guy next to him.

"Buckley was. What's your name transfer?"

"I'm D, I was ranked second." We sit in silence after that, till just myself, Chris, The girl named Kat and Justin are left on the benches.

"Well D," Justin stares at me while he continues, a small smile on his face. "Me and a few of my friends are getting together later tonight for some dauntless fun, care to join us? You can bring a friend if you don't want to be the only transfer there." I look at Chris and he smiles excited for the chance to let off some steam.

"Sure" I say.

"Awesome meet me at the net after dinner."

The door opens "Justin you're up" Four yells from the door.

"See you tonight D," and with that he goes into the room. Kat looks at me like she is trying to set me on fire with her mind. I wonder what that is about. I turn back to Chris.

"So, you want to come with?" I say playfully giving him a slight push. He just nods and pushes back.

"D" I hear Four call and I get up and walk into the door, Four closing it behind me.

I wouldn't say I am scared of needles. I definitely don't like them, but the sheer size of the needle Four is holding in his hand is quite intimidating.

"Once I inject you with the serum you will have 60 seconds before starting the simulation. So try to relax the first time is always the worst. Be Brave." He inject me in the neck and all I can think is that he said the first time, meaning there is more needles and more fear then this. Everything goes dark.

I am surrounded by darkness. I try to stand up but my head hits something above me. I raise my hand above my squatting body and feel fabric. I know where I am and I am not very happy about it. As soon as I register where I am it starts to happen again as it did every time. I hear the door slam shut and I see a yellow glow of my bedroom light sink underneath the sliding door of my closet. I feel my heart start to race as I grad the handles I made myself trying to keep the door closed tight in hopes that he might give up, though I know he never does. The door flies open and a set of hands grab my hair and pull me out and onto the floor. All I hear is yelling as I scramble to my feet and try to back away. He lets go of my hair and grabs my throat pushing me against the wall in my bedroom. I try to get his arm off my throat it is getting hard to breathe and my heart is racing so fast I think it might explode. I keep thinking to myself just let me go let me go and leave me alone. Then I am back in the room and Four is looking at me a mixture of pain and worry in eyes.

"Your father?" He asks me quietly, I didn't know he could sound so quiet. I Nod. "How did you get him to stop?" I think while my one hand rubs my neck as the other my head where he was pulling. How did I stop him?

"I don't know."

"Come with me" he says sternly. I follow him out the back door and into the hallway with the drinking fountain in it. Six is there like she was waiting for him knowing he was going to be there, yet she had a look of worry when I saw her. Four walks up to her and whispers something in her ear. She looks at me and nods. Four turns and walks back into the hall.

"Don't worry about him" Six says to me quietly as if she doesn't want anyone to hear. I step closer to her. "Four has to get back to the simulations, he has to make a slight adjustment to your simulation but your time will allow him to be able to get everything taken care of." She smiles and continues "what where your test results my mother gave you?" My test results. I can't tell her that I was told NEVER to tell anyone that.

"Erudite"

"I'm not asking what my mother wrote down, I am asking for what she told you"

How did she know that her mom had to write down my results? Did her mom tell her about me?

"I know what you are, so does Four. We aren't going to hurt you but you have to tell me so we can help protect you."

"I don't understand, what am I?"

She steps closer to me and barely a whisper she says "Divergent". My heart stops and I feel all the color from my face leave me. "Just tell me how many" she says.

I don't think anymore "four".

Her eyes widen. "You have to be careful the leaders, Eric especially are looking for people like you. If they discover what you are you will end up dead at the bottom of the chasm. You changed the simulation and that is how you were discovered by Four. I made sure to be here out of the way of cameras while he was running the sims so we could work together to help anyone that we might find to be like you. You beat the sim in only 5 minutes well under the average for a first time. Four can't erase the time but he can alter your sim before the leaders see it. We are not the enemy and we will try our best to keep you safe, but you have to understand you can't change the sim anymore, you have to either face the fear or control your heart rate, nothing else. Do you understand?" I nod.

"Are you and Four like me", I ask.

Six nods, "Now go back to the dorms, and try not to worry it will be easier tomorrow. Enjoy your time and try to make some friends, you're going to need more than just Chris if you need help."

To me it sounds like Six speaks from experience. I walk out of the hall and back into the dorms. I changed the simulation by getting my father to stop choking me. I knew I was scared of my father I guess I didn't know how deep that fear ran. Now, on top of that I have to worry about the leaders wanting me dead for something I have no control over, I wonder if Eric could do that, but do I really know my brother anymore.

Did I ever know him?
