A/N:This is my first one for Eric so I hope you like it! My intention is to make this a quite long fic so if I see you like it I’ll keep writing it. Hope you enjoy it!!!
Years. You had been thinking about what faction you would move to for years.
Your mother had died when you were very young, and with her death everything good in your life was gone.
You were born in Amity, and although no one would expect anyone born in that faction to be mean or agressive you had experienced violence from a young age.
Your mother had too, and although her murder was declared an accident you knew otherwise.
From a very early age you had developed interests in matters which didn’t have anything to do with your faction. You would spend the day away from home trying to avoid your father.
You would daydream about what it would be like to leave your faction, leave your father and run away from everything you had known.
It wasn’t that you didn’t like the ideals of your faction, you did, but sometimes they weren’t put to work and you couldn’t stand being there.
People in your faction thought you were a really clumsy person because you would usually show up full of wounds, you had even learnt to cope with the pain quite well.
You always wondered what faction you should choose, what faction would you fit in. The first faction you decided wouldn’t make you happy was Abnegation, you had had enough of sacrificing and not exercising your rights. The next one you decided not to join was Candor because you knew you would lie in order to protect someone, you kept secrets and you were good at it. You didn’t really have trouble at keeping things to yourself and pretending.
You were left with Dauntless and Erudition. You had went to the erudites’ faction everytime you had the chance, you would spend hours learning and investigating. Knowledge fascinated you to no end so you were seriously considering choosing Erudition.
Then there was Dauntless, pure freedom and discipline at the same time. You didn’t really know what drew you to that faction, you just knew it would give you the chance to defend yourself and avoid being treated like your father had done ever again.
You hoped your doubts would be solved in your aptitude test, but your expectations turned out to be destroyed with the results. Divergent. And guess what? You did fit in every single faction but Candor. Really helpful.
The day before the choosing ceremony you felt like your stomach was about to explode. Your head was a mess and you felt like your brain would melt anytime.
Your father was convinced you’d never dare to leave, you had convinced him you’d never dare to.
You felt like you weren’t in your own body, it was like you walked led by someone else and you weren’t the leader of your actions.
You snapped out of your state when you heard your name being called. You panicked for a second. Only one second. Then you inhaled deeply and stood up. You weren’t aware of what you were doing, you just walked and placed yourself in front of the bowls. You ran the knife through your palm and located your hand above the bowl full of crystal water, you sighed and just as a drop of blood was going to fall you moved your hand and placed it above the burning fire of Dauntless. The blood made noise as it collided against the rocks.
A huge sigh left your lips as you heard cheers from the Dauntless group. You turned around and walked towards them. As you sat you saw your father staring, his mouth open and his eyes full of rage.
You looked back at him defiantly and after some seconds redirected your stare towards the other next person choosing a faction.
When everything was over your body felt numb, and suddenly everyone started running, you hadn’t felt what you felt at that moment in your whole life.
It was like getting a rock off your chest for the first time ever, like cutting ropes which had you trapped. Your whole body was shaking as you started running.
At that moment you knew you had made the right choice. Freedom to do whatever you wanted, to scream, jump and run.
You saw everyone start climbing and you followed right after, then you saw the train arriving… and it wasn’t stoppig, they were jumping!
You were dumbfounded for a second but realised you had to hurry and jumped in, as soon as you were up you lost your balance and bumped into someone.
“Sorry” you muttered.
“Easy there amity” a boy with dark hair said. You rolled your eyes and when you were about to leave he took your hand to shake it.
“Peter”
“Y/N” you said “nice to meet you”
“Pity I can’t say the same”
“Pity you can’t shut your mouth for three seconds” you said as you turned around.
“I see you already met Peter” a tall girl said.
“Yeah, I just had the pleasure” you said sarcastically.
“He’s a pain in the ass, I’m Christina, and this is Tris”
“Y/N”
“So you are from Amity, I dunno which one out of the two of you is worse, Amity or Abnegation”
You smiled but it disappeared quickly as you saw people jumping off the train.
“Emmmm… I don’t mean to worry you but everyone is jumping off this thing”
“What?”
“Oh fuck” muttered Christina
“Are we supposed to jump???”
“I guess so...” you said as you looked out. “We need to get on that roof, get ready” you said.
“Together?” Christina asked.
“One… Two...”
“Three!” the three of you screamed as you jumped and landed quite painfully on the ground. You felt the rocks cutting your skin and making holes on your clothes but you hurried to stand up and checked on Tris and Christina.
“How was it?” you asked.
“They could have warned” Christina said.
“You wouldn’t have joined Dauntless then? If that’s so you can leave because you don’t belong here” You turned around to see who was talking like that to Christina and saw a blond tall guy. He was definitely handsome… and an asshole.
You had to bite your tongue to avoid replying to him.
You knew Christina was doing the same and after sometime the man’s attention divided among all the initiates.
“I’m Eric, I’m one of Dauntless’ leaders and I’ll be in charge of your initiation. The first thing you’ll need to do will be to get your ass down there” he said pointing below him. He was on the edge of the roof and behind him was nothing.
“You want us to jump?” the Candor boy from before had asked.
Everybody started talking in an agitated way, you looked around you and neared the edge to see what was down there.
“What Apple Pie are you jumping first?” he said sarcastically.
“You just said you wanted us to get our ass down there right?” he looked at you suspiciously and narrowed his eyes.
“Don’t try to fool me initiate.”
“I’m not, I’m just doing what you asked for” you said as you sat on the edge and gripped the stone. You slowly left your body off the edge and started to balance in order to reach a hole in the wall.
“We don’t have the whole day initiate, why don’t you make this easier and just jump?”
“Because it could be a trap to get rid of the foolest ones first” you said as you gripped a pipeline and started sliding down it. When you thought you were close enough you used your feet to get enough impulse to land in the black hole. You felt like you could fly for some seconds and after that you collided rougly against a net.
Just as you left out a groan someone pushed the net down and your body rolled to the side.
“Congratulations for being the first one to jump, Amity” a boy with dark hair and brown eyes said as he helped you down.
“I didn’t jump” you said.
“Did Eric push you?” he asked shocked
“I climbed down” you said as you looked at your hands which were really dirty after gripping that pipe.
“Well congratulations, what’s your name?” he asked.
“Y/N”
“Y/N first jumper!” he screamed and just after that you heard a body hiting the net, it was Tris.
After talking to the boy for longer than expected he shouted she was the second jumper and she walked towards you.
“Congratulations, you got Eric pretty mad” she said.
“Did I?” you asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry I don’t think he will remember after telling the guys to grow some balls and jump” she said chuckling.
“Hope so” you said as Christina fell on the net.
After everyone had jumped you were forced to walk by Eric and Four, or that was who he pretended to be.
Christina found this pretty amusing as she couldn’t hold back one of her witty remarks.
“Alright, now the ones born in Dauntless are going with Lauren and the transfers are going with Four” Eric said. You were glad he wasn’t the one showing y’all around.
After Four had shown you all the installations and explained you how everything was going to work, you also discovered you could be kicked out of the faction if you weren’t good enough. How nice. You got your clothes and got led to the room you would share. They gave you some time to change and you would have to burn your old clothes after that.
You waited for Christina and Tris to get changed and then all of you burnt your clothes and headed to the place where you’d eat.
Just as you were going to start eating everyone in your table shut up and looked behind you.
“May I help you?” you asked turning around.
“You may hurry the fuck up and follow me unless you want your ass kicked off the faction” Eric said. You quirked your eyebrow as you stood up and followed him.
“That little mouth of yours is going to get you in quite a lot of trouble, pumpkin” he said looking seriously at you.
“I was only being polite” you said looking back at him.
“Don’t play the fool with me” he said putting one of his arms at one side of your head making you put your back against the wall.
“I don’t understand the problem here, I only did what you asked for” you said.
“I’m not threatening you yet. I’m warning you Apple Pie”
“Will you stop calling me that? I’m not in Amity anymore”
“You’re in Dauntless for now, don’t forget it. This year is going to be quite interesting, I wonder who will be out first, the stiff or you sugar.” he said putting his other hand on the other side of your head.
“Be careful. You never know who could get mad at you and kick you out” he said smirking.
“Yeah. It’s hard to figure out who would be capable of such a thing.” you said as his smirk widened at youe words.
“Really enjoyed this small chat, you can got back to eat now that you still can” he said backing off and walking away.
You narrowed your eyes at him hoping that maybe you would develop pyrokinesis right then.
“What was that?” Christina asked as you sat back down.
“Some bad boy façade he needs to put up to scare initiates” you muttered as you played with your food.
“Well looks like it went quite deep” a boy with dark hair told you. “I’m Will by the way”
“Well he can go fuck himself” you muttered “Y/N”
“What about the peace and love thing?” a blond tall guy asked.
“ I’m not in Amity” you answered. “I’m tired I think I’m going to sleep now.”
You headed to your room and dropped on the bed, just as you did you started crying, all the tension, all the worries you had been holding back had left only to be replaced with new ones, you muffled your sobs against the pillow and tried to stabilise your breaths.
“Miss mummy and daddy Amity?” You heard Peter’s voice say mockingly behind you.
“Mummy is dead and daddy a sadistic son of a bitch so I’d say no” you said staring at him, and your voice came out so steady you coulnd’t believe it.
He looked like he didn’t expect that answer. He opened his mouth several time as if he intended to say something.
“Don’t bother” you said as you rolled back on the bed.
“Do you want to come to train?”
“I planned to after everyone fell asleep.”
“Good idea” he said.
“I didn’t say you could come”
“I think you are going to need my help.” he said.
“Everyone seems to think they know me and my future so yeah. Wake me up when you want.” you said as you covered your body with a sheet.
“y/n wake up” a voice whispered in your ear as someone shook you.
“I’m up, I’m up” you said holding back a yawn.
You stood up silently and followed him through some corridors.
“Training hasn’t even started yet” you muttered.
“You want to be the best one, and so do I” he answered. You just nooded.
Peter opened a door and you walked in a huge room.
“What do you want to start with?” he asked.
“Punching bags”
