Dauntless

Chapter 1

TRIS POV

I was 6 when my dad left, 14 when my mom died.

My brother left for some boarding school only weeks after moms death. I haven't heard a word from him since.

My only family were my friends, and I left them, without a word, without a trace.

My Uncle Max was the only one qualified to look after me in the family after everything happened.

He just so happened to be director to a top secret government agency that apparently at one time, my parents worked for.

He asked me if I wanted to join, he recruited me at 14 years old. After I had just lost everything, I so just wanted to forget everyone.

So I accepted.

I haven't seen my friends since, nor do I plan on ever seeing them again.

Not that I don't want to see them, but how would I explain just disappearing?

I guess it doesn't matter.

I'm the youngest, most talented, most emotionless, spy in dauntless.

I am Beatrice Prior, but most people call me Tris, or agent 006, but mostly they just call me Six.

I'm sixteen now, and I have just been assigned the most difficult case of my career.

I'm going back to high school.

I can scale buildings, take down terrorists, beat a 747 pound sumo in a hand to hand fight (don't ask), but this is going to be hard.

Max keeps telling me it might just be a harmless drugs bust and I will be in and out in a matter of weeks.

But this is me we are talking about, it could never be that easy.

So here I am, getting ready for my first day of Junior year.

Even though I have already passed my GED with flying colors.

I'm wearing a deep red fitted lace top with a Tanktop to match the color underneath it. I have on black denim skinny jeans and black combat boots.

My hair is in beach waves, but that's normal.

I put on my mascara and eyeliner, and I'm done.

I grab my bag and head out the door.

I take a deep breath, this can't be too bad, right?

~~~~~~~~

I walk into school and all eyes were on me, but I ignored it and headed for the desk to get my schedule.

Once I have it I try to use the provided map to find my locker, but even for a person with an excellent sense of direction.

This made new sense.

Eventually I found the general area of where my locker should be.

I really need to talk to max about getting public school systems some tour guides or whatever.

This is just annoying.

I bump into someone and drop all my stuff.

"Sorry!" I say and quickly start gathering my stuff. The figure I bumped into bends down and starts helping me.

"It's no problem" says a deep voice and I look up.

I see two deep blue eyes. Familiar eyes.

But I can't put my finger on why they would be familiar, I have never seen him in my life.

"You don't have to help me, It was my fault, I wasn't watching were I was going" I say as we continue straightening papers.

"It's no problem" he says as we stand up.

I notice a group of people behind him, but I ignore them.

"is that all you say?" I ask teasingly

"Possibly, I mean you never know" he shrugs, a small smile playing on his lips.

"Guess not"

"You look a little lost, need help?" He asks

"Uhhhh, well actually this should be my locker. I think......" I say turning the map in my hand.

I set the map in my arm and enter the combination and it opens.

"Thank god! I thought I'd never find it! This map is useless" I say as I set my stuff in the locker and start examining my schedule.

"They are pretty much useless" he nods his head. The group behind him is watching our exchange as if it's something strange.

"I'm Four" he says, almost like he's forcing himself to say it.

"Nice to meet you Four" I say but before I can say my name someone, one of the ones in the group behind him interjects.

"Don't ask about his name, he won't talk"

I laugh a bit "I wasn't going to, we actually have something in common Four."

"Really what?" He asks leaning against a locker.

"I'm Six, and I don't talk about it either" I say

"Six?" He asks "were you called Six before today?"

"You really think I'm THAT blonde?" I ask "yes, I've been called Six for about two years now. My uncle gave it to me as a nickname and I preferred it to my real name"

"Cool." He says "so you got anyone to sit with at lunch yet?" He asks causally

"Nope." I say putting all my books away because my first class is P.E.

"Wanna sit with us?"

I study the group for a minute before nodding.

"Do any of you have P.E. ? I'd rather not try and use that map again." I say and close my locker.

They all raise their hand

"Well okay then" I say and we head to P.E.

FOUR POV

I don't know what it is but Six looks familiar, well not her in general. But those eyes, I swear I've seen them before.

Zeke pushes me aside in the locker room

"What are you doing? The agency won't like a little blond in on our group. Besides we're wait for the new agent to come" he whispers

We were recruited by Dauntless, last year. Not long after Tris disappeared.

Tris.

I miss her, I had the biggest crush on her when we were 14, and then one day she was just. Gone.

We have been stationed in this school for 6 months because of suspicious activity.

Me and my friends really just joined in hopes we could use the resources to find Tris. But she has completely disappeared.

"She could be the agent, whose name is Six?" I ask skeptically

"Your Four" he points out.

"And im an Agent!" I whisper yell

"If she starts getting suspicious, she's out" Zeke said "there was only room for one blonde blue eyed girl in our group and you know who that is so don't get too attached."

I sigh and nod.

Zeke took Tris' disappearance almost as hard as I did, she was basically his sister.

I head out to P.E. Keeping a watchful eye and thinking of Tris.
