Descendant (divergent fan fiction)

Never look back

"Violet." I say sending the Erudite boy shivering out the back way. She looks up darkly from where she fiddled with her thumbs. She follows be with her dark hair flowing behind her in a tight ponytail.

"Just sit back." I say to her and she scoots back uncomfortably in the seat.

"Does this hurt?"

"Yep." I reply honestly. "Just try and stay calm."

"Okay." She says quietly.

Then we are both under and we are in the silence. Nothing is really happening but I can see Violet. She just stands there with her hands at her throat.

"It is just a simulation." She screams. It shocks me a little but I'm almost used to the divergent. It's more and more common now. I sit and sit. Watching her struggle. It doesn't take long before it fades away. I'm out of the simulation before she is and I'm taking off my sensors when she wakes up.

"Your divergent aren't you?" I ask.

"You say that lightly." Violet says quietly.

"They can't hurt you anymore. They used to be able to kill you. But it wasn't actually legal." I tell her. "Your safe. Just try and relax." I say calmly and type in fake results on the computer. They try and get you to put if they are divergent but I don't want to take any chances.

"Are you divergent?" Violet asked me slowly.

         "Yep. Both my parents too." I reply smoothly. "Forget about it though. It isn't important. Go out there. But if you want you can go out the back." I tell her.

"I'll go out there." She says and stands up but her whole body seems to waver.

"Are you sure?" I ask and she snaps back.

"Yeah I'm sure." She nods. "Thank you, Two."

"No need. Send in someone else in when you leave." I tell her.

After I watched all of the initiates go through their simulations and now I sit in my apartment. Avary still lived with me but Amaryllis had moved into an apartment with Jackson.

"Hey." Avary says when she unlocks the door.

"Hi." I say.

"I think Noah wants to talk to you. I mean, he didn't say it exactly, but he is giving you space and seems really alone. He won't come out of his apartment with Falcon. He is afraid he will come across you."

"You talked to him?" I ask wide eyed.

"He's still my friend Harper." Avary says defensively.

"I know." I shrug and lay back more in the couch. "I'm just not ready."

"You'll come around I'm sure." Avary says. "But I think you should. He isn't being a bad person and I'm sure he was hurt with Logans death."

       "Bianca was so weird about it though. It was so soon and she had just—" I stop. "Never mind."

       "Harper, I know Peter is her father." I look at her alarmed with a crooked expression.

      "How— what?" I ask.

       "He's her father isn't he? We've never met her father and I can see a resemblance. I mean you can't really see it unless someone points it out but it's still there."

       "I guess it is. Don't let her know you know though. She might think I told you. What about Falcon?" I ask. "Does he know?"

      Avary shakes her head. "No, unless he didn't tell me."

       "Then we are good for now. Until someone else points it out."

       "So Jake stayed?" I ask.

       "Left and never came back. I think he felt lonely with all of us having somebody and he didn't really ever have anybody." I shrug.

       "Yeah. I wonder if he ever found somebody." Avary says wonderingly.

       "He might visit." I suggest.

       "We will see."
