A/N: Hi everyone!

I'm back again and with a new crossover. It took me what felt like forever to decide in which way I wanted to go and I think I've finally got it. I'm so excited for this one. As I mentioned on my last profile update, we will be encountering a bit of a darker Bella. I've been having so much fun playing around in her mind and I think you will all notice she's a bit different from the two other stories I've written. Before we start on the story, however, I wanted to include some warnings... hopefully I remember to cover what I need to.

First, there is a trigger warning. Tobias was abused by Marcus and I have included that in this story, but please don't worry. I will not go into too much detail and so it won't be too explicit or graphic.

Second, I will be playing around in Veronica Roth's world. I won't be going word for word or following the timeline, so my Divergent world might be a bit different but overall I'm sticking to the basics. So for those of you who have not read the books or seen the movies, please let me know if something is unclear or you need further explanation. It's a bit complicated so I have tried to give some description of what their world is like but I'm sure I've missed some things.

Third, because we're playing around in a different world Bella will not have any super powers. She will be fully human just like everyone else. Sorry if that disappoints some of you.

Fourth (and I think last note), if you've read my other stories you know I like me some smut. This one won't be any different ;P

Ok! I'm done for now. Phew! Sorry for this long author's note but I wanted to cover some necessary things before we start and I want to thank you all in advance for joining me on this new endeavor.

Welcome to Unbreakable...

Prologue

"Bella!"

I jumped in surprise, dropping my towel in the process. I picked it up and huffed, throwing the towel on the hanger behind my bedroom door to dress quickly not even bothering to examine my clothes.

What was the point?

I wore practically the same outfit every day, all boring long shirts that weren't quite dresses but not quite shirts either with baggy pantaloons underneath. I hated these clothes. If I could I would have surely thrown them all in a pile in front of my home and burned them all to a crisp. Unfortunately, it was something I had to endure because in Abnegation we all wore the same color and style to not differentiate us from one another. Always brown or variations of the same color, i.e. boring, boring, boring.

"Bella!" I heard my mother yell again and I ran downstairs before she had the chance to yell at me again. "There you are!" She said happily as she saw me appear in the doorway to the kitchen.

"Why are you smiling?" I asked in slight irritation.

She rolled her eyes at me as she spoke. "Sweetheart, there's no point in being upset about today."

I huffed but internally agreed. I knew there was nothing I could do about it but it didn't make me feel any better. If anything it made me feel worse, but instead of speaking my thoughts I just said, "I know" to avoid the lecture she would undoubtedly unload on me for being irritable today.

"Charlie, please tell Bella she'll be fine." My mom begged my father just as I'd felt his presence behind me.

No sooner had she spoken I felt my father's warm but firm hand slide over my shoulders, squeezing me into him and placing a loving kiss on top of my head. "It will be alright, Bella." He reiterated.

I rolled my eyes in an annoyance. "It really won't be though." I mumbled.

"Oh Bella," my mother scolded, somehow having heard what I'd said. "Don't make this harder for him than it already is." She chastised.

"I won't." I said dejectedly, looking around and wondering where he was exactly.

"He left early this morning to train. He was too anxious to stay inside." My father informed me.

"Why didn't he wake me up?"

"He said he didn't want to wake you but he made it clear we let you know to meet him in your spot when you did." My mother answered me this time. "He didn't wait for breakfast so take this to him and this other one is for you." She said, handing me two muffins. "Now run along dear and enjoy your last moments together."

I didn't bother to respond as I grabbed them both, making my way out of my home. I walked along the streets of Abnegation, kicking the dirt as I walked and hoping time would stand still so that we could be stuck repeating this morning forever. It was a stupid notion though but one that seemed better than the alternative. It was going to be a hell of a day, and not in a good way, not only for me but for the family as well. I pushed it all away to the back of my mind as I reached the trees that ran along the borders of Abnegation. I looked around me, slipping silently into the trees once the coast was clear. It was a bit of a walk from here to reach our training area but I knew that's not where he would be. Instead of heading there I pivoted to the left walking along the line of trees until I reached the one I was looking for.

I looked up and found him there, quietly sitting against the bark of the tree on a thick branch high up off the ground. I stood there silently watching him for a minute as he stared off into the group of other Abnegation teenagers quietly talking amongst themselves. This would be the last time I would see him like this and my heart gave a painful squeeze at the thought. Today was his choosing ceremony, the day where children officially transitioned into adulthood and flew out of their nest's to become productive members of society. This day he would be given the choice to stay in Abnegation or move to one of the other four factions. They all served their own purpose. Candor was in charge of making laws, Erudite was in charge of science and other technological advances, Amity was in charge of farming and agriculture to provide food for all factions, and Dauntless was the security/police force that protected us all. He could always choose to stay here in Abnegation but I knew that wouldn't be the case. We'd planned his departure for years but that still didn't make this day any easier.

"If you stare at her for much longer you'll burn a hole right through her skull." I teased, not being able to resist teasing him one last time before he left me.

"I wasn't staring." He replied automatically, shifting his eyes to look down at me and away from the object of his affection.

I scoffed at his usual response to this line of questioning and threw him the muffin my mother had sent for him. He deftly caught it in the air and took a bite. "Oh please, you don't make it a secret Tobias. Besides, I don't even know what you see in her…" I started, looking away from him as I watched the blond girl sitting quietly beside her brother on the steps to her house, staring off into space and not talking to anyone around her, even as her brother Edward talked animatedly to the girl who lived next door to them. What he saw in her I would never know. "Beatrice is so… normal." I finally said, not knowing how else to describe her.

"Is that jealousy I sense?" He teased back, arching a brow at me in interest.

I rolled my eyes at the absurdity of that question. "Why would I be jealous of her? It's not like I want your love and devotion…. Besides, having her brothers' is more than enough." I declared haughtily.

He chuckled lightly, knowing how right I was but didn't say anymore as he continued to stare at her. I internally rolled my eyes. I can't remember since when he'd developed these feelings for her. It had kind of come out of nowhere really and it had honestly surprised me.

Tobias and I were as close as siblings. Our parents had served on the council together along with Beatrice's parents, but Beatrice had had her brother growing up and had ignored us completely. Not that it mattered, Tobias and I were inseparable and we didn't need anyone else other than each other. We were both only children and had instinctively gravitated towards one another. Our parents would be considered best friends at the time… that is until his mother had suddenly passed away when he was eight and I was six. It was then that everything changed… but I quickly erased that thought from my mind before I spiraled further into our dark history.

The night of his mother's passing I had been right there beside him, comforting him during the toughest time of his life. It was improper for us to be as close as we were so I had waited until nighttime to sneak into his bedroom. I was there as he fell apart, holding him tightly as he cried into my shoulder. We were closer than friends, Tobias was my brother in every way that mattered and there was nothing I wouldn't do for him. Besides my parents he was the only other person I cared about and I was devastated that I would soon have to watch him go.

"I'll miss you." I declared out of the blue.

He turned back to look at me, his expression shifting to reflect my own pain. "I'll miss you too… I'm not quite sure how I will be able to leave without you. The only thing that pushes me forward is knowing that I'll see you again…" he paused for a moment as he quietly watched me, biting his lip in worry. "Unless you decide to change your mind..."

I rolled my eyes, as if that would ever happen. "I'm not changing my mind. We've been training together for as long as I can remember."

Both my mother and father had both grown up in Dauntless. Early on they knew I would never belong in Abnegation, I was just too different from everyone else. Tobias, on the other hand, had other reasons. As soon as we were both old enough to know that Abnegation was not the place for us my parents began to train us, to prepare us for Dauntless initiation with enough knowledge to not only pass initiation but to do well enough to attain higher work positions within the faction. But Tobias and I had kept up with training, improving together every day, practicing and evolving the tools with which my parents had gifted us with.

I'd always wondered why out of all of the other factions my parents had chosen to come here to Abnegation. I'd asked my father once and he'd told me the truth, that they had moved because of my mother. She had always been too much of a gentle creature, she'd always felt out of place and knew Dauntless wasn't where she wanted to live for the rest of her life. Both my father and mother had grown up together and had fallen in love almost as soon as they were consciously aware of the fact that the opposite sex existed. Because of this, my father had followed my mother out of Dauntless. Though secretly I knew that if it would've been up to him he would have never left, but he'd told me countless times that he's never regretted it. You see, my mother and he had made a deal. He'd promised to follow her anywhere she decided to go, as long as she promised that when the time came to have their own children they would raise them their own way. Regardless of faction. It was why I was the way I was.

Growing up I knew that I had to abide by all Abnegation rules, though I loathed to do so, but once inside my own home and in the privacy of just my parents and Tobias I could be whoever I wanted to be. Signs of affection were strictly forbidden in our faction but that never stopped my parents from not only telling me but showing me they loved me every single day.

He watched me as I spoke, looking for reassurance in not only my words but in my body language. He smiled when he found his confirmation but it quickly turned into a teasing smirk as he spoke, "Are you sure you won't change your mind at the last minute and decide to stay in Abnegation with Edward and live happily ever after?"

I outright laughed at that. I knew Edward was slightly obsessed with me, kind of like Tobias was with his sister Beatrice but there was no way that was going to happen. Not in a billion years. "No. Besides, he's not staying in Abnegation." I informed him.

His eyes widened at the news. "He's not? Where is he going?"

"Erudite."

"Huh." He muttered thoughtfully, looking away from me and looking back at the siblings we were currently discussing. "How do you even know that?" He asked curiously.

"He told me." I said simply, shrugging my shoulders as if it weren't a big deal, but we both knew it was. None of us were ever allowed to talk about Choosing Day or discuss where we would go. Technically we weren't supposed to choose. Days before the ceremony, each of us would receive a serum that would tell us which faction we belonged to. For the most part, the chosen faction would be the one you had originally come from. In all honesty, both faction leaders and parents encouraged their children to stay in their own faction. It was heavily frowned upon to leave your parents and faction behind for another. So us speaking about it had been a pretty big deal, of course no one else knew besides Edward and I… and now Tobias. "He bared his soul to me and asked me to consider going to Erudite with him when our time to choose came in two years. I told him no. That I didn't feel that way about him and that I was planning to go to Dauntless."

"Harsh." He commented.

"Not harsh. I was being honest. I don't feel the same way and I didn't want to give him any hope."

"Hope isn't such a bad thing." He said almost wistfully, turning to look back at the alleged love of his life.

"It is when the other person doesn't even know you exist."

He glared at me then. "Doesn't matter, I'm leaving anyway." He said, but I didn't miss the look of longing he threw her way.

I didn't say anything after that, knowing it was true.

A few years ago I had been tempted to approach her myself after I found out how Tobias felt about her, but it was already hard enough to keep our closeness a secret that adding another body seemed like tipping the scales. Besides, I was sure she would end up staying in Abnegation. I figured what was the point in uniting them when Tobias was going to leave anyway.

He had to leave.

There was no way around it and I knew that if she happened to reciprocate his feelings and decided to stay in Abnegation, Tobias would stay with her. And there was no way in hell I would allow that to happen.

When I'd mentioned that everything had changed after Tobias' mother's passing I wasn't lying. His father Marcus had turned on him. Accusing him of being the reason his mother had died… which was the furthest thing from the truth. His mother had died of a common cold. For the most part, Abnegation refused to take medicine for their ailments. Stating that they didn't want to deplete resources that could be given to someone else who needed it more. Always selfless until the very end. But Marcus had been the one to reject the medication his wife had desperately needed and because of his decision she had passed away. If anyone was to blame it was him, but Marcus, unable to face his own faults had pushed the blame onto Tobias. His hate and anger had turned into something despicable.

Two days after his mother's passing Tobias had disappeared.

Everyday I would come over and ask for Tobias but Marcus would send me away claiming that Tobias was too sad to talk to me. But after a week of the same excuse everyday I had been fed up and I'd sneaked into his bedroom in the middle of the night only to find Tobias hiding under his bed silently crying. Worried about him I'd pulled him out and he'd yelped in pain. It was the first time I had gotten a glimpse of the brutality his father was capable of. Turns out two days after his mother's passing Tobias had been hit for the very first time, every day after had gotten progressively worse. That night I'd found him hiding I had practically carried him out of his own home, he had been too weak and fragile to walk on his own but there was no way I would let him stay there for a second longer. My little six year old body had managed to drag my eight year old friend's body to my own home, banging on my parents' bedroom door crying desperately for help. My parents had been horrified at what they had seen and confronted Marcus about what he had done. They had wanted to tell the entirety of Abnegation of his transgressions but even in his weakened state Tobias had begged my parents not to. He'd told them Marcus was the only parental figure he had left and couldn't bear to watch him be punished.

We all knew what that punishment would be. Marcus would become factionless. Sent to the dilapidated buildings in the outskirts of the city where people who have been rejected by their faction or had not passed initiation would go. It was only because of Tobias that my parents hadn't reported him to the authorities, so instead they had made a deal with him. They promised they wouldn't say anything as long as he didn't touch him again and for him to relinquish his rights to Tobias. He would still technically live with Marcus to maintain pretenses, but my parents would be the true parental figures in Tobias' life. He would live at my home for most of the day until nighttime, and even then he would only go home for a couple of hours, only waiting until our neighbors were asleep to sneak back into our home. We shared my bed for as long as we physically could until he got too big for it. After that my father had sneaked in a cushion for him to sleep in that we would hide under my bed during the day and though Marcus was not allowed to spend much time around Tobias, he had still found a way to control Tobias as best he could.

Marcus was pure evil and Tobias had never found the courage to stand up for himself when it came to him. If Tobias had stayed behind I had no doubt that Marcus would use that opportunity to take over his life completely. I loved him too much to allow for that to happen. Tobias deserved his freedom. He'd earned it a thousand times over and there was no way I was going to let a little stupid crush ruin my brother's future. It might seem cold on my part but it really wasn't. I just had my priorities set. I've only ever had my parents and Tobias, they were all I ever needed and wanted, not that I had any opportunity to form bonds with anyone else...

Abnegation had a strict policy against that, we were all supposed to remain aloof and unemotional with each other. That emotion was only to be released when interacting with other factions or the factionless. It was when dealing with others outside of our faction where we were practically forced to care more for them than ourselves. As the public service faction, it was our duty. It was why all the other factions made fun of us though. Many thought of us as servants, even while Abnegation took the job as government leaders because who better else than the selfless people to care for all factions. It made complete sense, but I still marveled at the disrespect we all received on a daily basis because of it. I would never understand that dynamic.

I shook my head, trying to physically shake out those dark thoughts I had tried earlier to push away. "I'm sorry." I said after some time, feeling a bit guilty for so easily dismissing his feelings for her.

He tilted his head, motioning for me to join him on his branch. I bent over to tie my shirt dress into a knot so it wouldn't be in my way. Once that was secured I climbed the tree effortlessly, having done this a thousand times. I pulled myself up to the branch closest to him and he opened his arms out for me to jump into. I jumped and landed in between his legs but my momentum had led me too far and we both started tipping over the side. We both laughed as he dropped the muffin I'd given him to grasp onto the tree with one hand while holding onto my waist tightly with his other to stop us from falling over. Feeling us both finally steadied he wrapped his arms around my middle and leaned his chin on my shoulder, kissing me lightly on my cheek. I smiled at him and handed him my muffin, it's not like I was hungry anyway. He graciously accepted it and I snuggled into him wrapping my own arms around his as he held me close, both of us looking out into the city of Abnegation in front of us.

I wasn't quite sure how I was supposed to live the next two years without him. I was so used to having him here all the time, sharing everything with him, having someone who always understood me even without having to speak. He was honestly like my twin. We could communicate with each other with just a look. It was something we had learned to do around here because the adults rarely let us talk amongst each other in most social situations. If I could wish for anything, I would have wished that I were the same age as him so that we could transfer to Dauntless and start a new life together instead of having to wait two years to see him again. It was going to be absolute torture to be stuck here without him.

"Are you crying, Bella?" He asked in surprise, pulling away from me to look me in the eyes. I wasn't known for crying. Out of the both of us Tobias was surprisingly the more emotional one out of the two. He was just more sensitive than I was, which was understandable. My life had been a piece of cake compared to his.

I scoffed. "No. Of course not, there's just dirt in my eyes." I said, rubbing his forearm across my eyes to use his shirt to dry my tears.

He chuckled lightly, kissing my temple. "My brave girl." He said but I could see his eyes getting misty as he watched me struggle to keep it together. "It's only two years, Bella. I'll see you again." He said softly, caressing my cheek with his thumb.

"I know." I said quietly, choking on the emotion that was suddenly lodged in my throat.

"I promise I'll wait for you. I'll do whatever it takes to get into Dauntless and prepare myself to welcome you when you get there in two years. Next time we see each other I'll be the strong one you can lean on this time."

"Tas-" I started, wanting to let him know I didn't need him to be strong for me but for himself, but he cut me off before I could say more.

"No, Bell. Growing up you've always had to be the strong one. The one person I could always depend on, the one I ran to to save me from my hell, but you've already done enough. Next time, I want to be the one you depend on. The one that you can lean on when initiation gets too hard. I want to be there for you, Bell, and I will be there." He vowed.

If only he knew I didn't need him to be those things for me. Just having him be there to understand my convoluted mind was more than enough. It never mattered that I had to be the tough one, the one to stand up for him when he couldn't. I never did those things because I had to, but because I wanted to. I wanted to be his safe place. The person he could always depend on when life got too hard, when the person who was supposed to love him unconditionally failed to do so. I loved being his safe place because he had always been that for me. Even if that safe place meant different things to each other.

But instead of fighting him I simply nodded. I could see it was the motivation he would need to get him through initiation, and I didn't mind being his reason. As long as he made it and he was safely away from Marcus I really didn't care what that reason was. "You'll be great, you know." I told him sincerely, "I believe in you, Tassy, and I know you'll do great things in Dauntless. You just have to believe in yourself like I believe in you." I said tearfully.

He stared at me for the longest time, as if he were both memorizing me and committing my words to memory. He always second guessed himself and I absolutely hated it. He had so much potential but there had always been that nagging little voice in the back of his mind telling him he wasn't good enough. I had a feeling that little voice sounded a lot like Marcus. Growing up he took every opportunity he could to make Tobias feel less than, like he wasn't worth anything. As a result, Tobias could never stand up to him... but I could. I never backed down for a second, even when Marcus threatened to hurt me if I didn't get out of his way, but I always stood my ground. I had to. Because I would rather die than have to watch Tobias as broken as I had seen him when I was six. The vision of his broken and bloody body had cemented itself firmly into my brain and it was something I would never ever forget. He was mine to protect always and while Marcus brought him down in every way he could I would always be there behind him, lifting him up, telling him he could do anything he set his mind to. It never mattered what Marcus thought of him because I knew who he was and I would never stop reminding him until he believed it too.

We heard footsteps approaching and we both turned to the side, finding both of my parents standing nearby watching us with sad eyes.

"It's time." My dad said gruffly.

We both nodded and turned to look at each other, with one last kiss to my forehead we both stood up jumping off the branch. We landed smoothly on the ground and stepped towards my parents as they regarded us with bittersweet smiles, knowing how hard this was going to be for us to part.

My mother opened her arms wide and Tobias quickly stepped into them, wrapping his arms around her smaller frame. "My boy, I love you so dearly" she said sweetly, "but I have no doubt that you will do amazing in Dauntless. I will miss you so much and even though I wasn't the one to birth you, it breaks my heart to see you go." She said softly, little tears falling down her cheeks.

He pulled away and tenderly wiped them away. "Thank you, I love you too. You've been the best second mom any lonely boy could have ever asked for. I'll miss you too." He said just as softly. He hugged her one last time before he pulled away to face my father next.

"Come here kid." He said, pulling Tobias into his arms. "Believe in yourself as much as we believe in you. We might never see you again but as long as you find the place where you belong, none of it matters. We will always be here cheering you on from afar."

"I know, Dad." He said quietly, "thank you for being the father I'd always wanted."

My dad smiled wide at his words. "It was my pleasure and thank you for being the son I never dreamed I could have."

We could hear the speakers all over Abnegation sounding the alarm letting us know it was time for everyone to gather. Unfortunately because we weren't Tobias' biological family we wouldn't be able to go and we would have to say goodbye to him here. Dad unwrapped one of his arms from around Tobias, opening it up to make space for my mother and I. I moved forward, eager to have this one last family hug together before things changed forever.

We stood there for some time, hugging each other tightly in hopes of making this moment last forever but once we heard the alarm ring its final call we knew it was now time to go.

Tobias pulled me into his side as we walked, letting me go until the last possible moment as we stepped out from the trees. We all silently walked to the edge of our faction limits, seeing a large crowd of people gathered and lines of buses waiting to transport them.

"Tobias." We heard the firm voice of Marcus calling his son forward to join him on the bus.

I could tell how Tobias immediately tensed at his name being called but I poked him with my pinky finger and he turned to look at me. We stared at each other, wordlessly communicating what we couldn't say out loud.

I would love and be there for him always, even if we wouldn't be physically together. He was strong enough to face his father one last time before he finally took his life into his own hands and set himself free from his father's cruel control.

He quietly nodded at me, understanding everything, and began walking towards Marcus. He was a few steps away before he hesitated, turning to face us completely and he quietly spoke for the last time. "I love you. You will always be my family." Then as quickly as he'd spoken he turned around and walked briskly to his father's side, stiffly joining him in the line of Abnegations who were waiting to get on the buses.

"You'll see him again, Bella." My dad said quietly next to me.

"I know." I answered softly, knowing I wouldn't be able to keep my emotions inside if I spoke any louder.

I never took my eyes away from him, and as he climbed the bus he took one last glance in our direction. Our eye connecting for the last time, showing the bright smile he reserved only for me before disappearing into the bus. If I could cry publicly I would have, but because I was in Abnegation I couldn't do that. I hated it more than I ever had before. I really wished I weren't here to begin with, but knowing that Tobias would be waiting for me in Dauntless lessened the despair I felt and I promised myself I would be a good little Abnegation girl until it was my time to join my brother in a new life.
