The Divergent Spirits

Seth's POV

That fucking bastard! It's bad enough he tries to rape Ellie; now he's trying to kiss her! I don't give a fuck what she says, if he gets near her again, I'll kill him. As we were walking, we heard the crowds shouting and cheering as I forgot about the game. I look at the tower where Maci, Tris, and Christina were at. They got the flag. We won! And Ellie shot the captain too. If Tris gets the flag, she'll have the biggest points. So she can move above the red lines, along with Maci. As we headed back to the tracks, Christina holds the flag as she walks with her boyfriend, Will.

"Hey, Seth!" I looked and saw Marlene coming with Maci and Uriah. "Wanna come?" She offered.

"For another round of Candor or Dauntless?" I asked.

"Nope. It's ziplining. Little Dauntless ritual. We do it once a year. So, you'll come?" Marlene asked.

"Okay, great! Are you coming too, Ellie? We've been worried about you since we thought you were still on the carnivals." Uriah asked her.

"Sure, why not?" Ellie smiled as Ryan took her hand as Marlene took my hand. As we were running, I notice Tris is coming with us as they invited her. I held onto her hand and run through the crowd.

Eric's POV

I was walking with the initiates when the Dauntless-borns, Uriah, Ryan, and Marlene running past me as they were dragging the siblings. The weak Stiff was running besides Seth; I don't care about them. But what I do care is the way Ryan is pulling Ellie and they were laughing as they were running together. That pissed me off because I should be the one to make her laugh, let alone make her smile. I kept staring as they pass by.

"Someone's jealous over here?" I heard someone from behind. It's that Candor loud-mouth initiate. I looked her from behind and sending draggers at her.

"Is he jealous, Will?" She asked her boyfriend who stayed quiet when I look at them. He doesn't say anything. She said it just to cover her mistake for asking me. I'll let it slide but she's right. I am jealous of Ryan. I've always seem them on the Chasm. Sometimes alone, sometimes when they're with their friends.

Christina's POV

Shit, that was close. I thought I would die because of that. I thought Eric is Ellie's boyfriend so it's okay to ask. But he really tensed up and pissed from being jealous of Ellie hanging out with other guys. I can't hardly doubt that. Sure, he is cold and ruthless but he is jealous of someone and that someone is Ellie. This is another big news for today. Why can't they show their relationship on us? It's alright with me. But I don't know about Seth, Maci, the leaders, his friends, and the rest of Dauntless crew.

TIME SKIP

Maci's POV

After Tris went first, Steph, Tristian, Molly, Zed, and Carmen were also invited as the other didn't care about them expect they also came from the outside. I decided to go next and when I was ziplining, I never felt so free. I held my phone as I was making a video of the beautiful view. After I quickly put my phone away, I pulled the brakes once I almost reached the bottom.

I got off with some help. Ellie went next and she got hit in the head and it bleeds a little bit, but she giggled to that. Then, Seth. Followed by Molly, Steph, Tristian, Molly, Zed, and Carmen. After everyone went, we went back to the compound as our friends immediately went back into hiding.

We all burst out laughing as we should do that again next year since it's only once a year.

Eric's POV

At last. We've arrived from the entrance of Dauntless compound where I finally get to see Ellie. Because of that fucking Ryan, I couldn't ride the train with her. Damnit! Why can't she see how insane I gotten because of her? I couldn't help but think about her each day. There's no day that I couldn't think about her. It's like she's the only thing that matters to this world. Her stares melt my coldness.

When I got to see her, her forehead was bleeding. What happened? Did someone hurt her? But she burst out laughing with Maci, Seth, and that stiffy Tris. I came to her and hand her the handkerchief without saying any words. As I walked to the door, I saw her confused face, looking at my handkerchief. She looks so cute to look at. I'm not a fan of cute things, but look at Ellie made me smile.
