DAUNTLESS (Divergent sequil, no war)

chapter 1

AN.

Okay, so I loved divergent completely, it's one of the best books I've read and I think it only took me about 6 hours to read it, I was completely hooked! However, I'm not such a fan of the hole revolution, wreck the system type thing that goes at the end of it and throughout the next two books. Personally I think that more could have been done to develop the story and the factions without the hole mind control, overthrow abnegation and then start a civil war thing. I fell in love with the city I hated to see it fall and crumble, I wanted to know more about dauntless life and to see Tris and Tobias grow together without being pulled apart buy external conflicts every other chapter or so. Basically what I'm saying is that I didn't want the city to fall into destruction and because I'm selfish and want to hold onto it I'm writing what I think should have happened, just to keep me happy. I'm starting from the day the initiates, (Tris, Will, Christina ect.) choose there roles in Dauntless. I hope I can do this justice.

I did I quick search on watt pad to find a lot of divergent stories without the war but I haven't looked at any of them... please tell me what you think with either a vote or a comment I would really appreciate it thanks :)

I sit up and rub my eyes. There is no sense of urgency, no rush and no clamour as people move about the dorm. Christina flops onto my bunk then lies across my legs.

"What do you think you'll pick?" she asks as she turns to face me.

"I haven't got a clue." I respond, and I honestly don't. How can I pick what I want to do for the rest of my life right now? I'd spent all of my time just trying to survive initiation, I hadn't even really considered what I would do, nor had I ever dreamt that I would place first and there by be able to choose which ever job I wanted. "What are you going to go for" I ask lifting my legs to try to push her off me, but she only rises slightly to adjust her position and then flops back onto me again.

"whatever's left," she sighs, "though I wouldn't mind doing tattoos, do you think Tori would teach me?" the slight glint in her eyes shows me that she has wanted this for some time, but has never wanted to admit it, not even to herself. No one could really relax until now, and even then, we still don't quite know where we stand among the Dauntless, but at least we know we have a place.

"I'm sure she'd be delighted to, now will you let me up?" she smiles and stands and I have to wriggle my legs to get the blood back to them. I sit up and watch as she skips over to Will, who grabs her hand and pulls her closer.

Tobias.

I need to see him. He will help me decide what to do. With a quick glance at the clock on the wall I see that I only have 2 hours until I'm expected in the dining hall, where we will chose our jobs. I open the small black bag that holds all of my positions and pull out the first thing I can get a hold of and then find my towel.

I quickly shower then pull on the black dress that I grabbed from my bag. I don't have time to dry my hair, not if I want to discuss things with Tobias before I choose, so I quickly plat it and let it hang over one shoulder.

"where do you think she is going?" I hear Will say to Christina,

"where do you think? she's off to see four!" she shouts after me, I can hear the smile in her voice but all the same my cheeks burn red with embarrassment, so I keep walking.

He isn't hard to find. I was heading over to his room when my stomach started to gargle and so I went down to the cafeteria to find him standing outside. He stands there, leaning on the wall, one foot on the floor and the other placed firmly on the stone behind him. He fidgets with his hair, obviously uncomfortable or nervous about something. But what?
