Divergent (No War)

Chapter Five

I come too and I feel two strong arms carrying me. It's Will and Al. They sit me down on the floor and Christina comes over with some ice.

"How embarrassing." I sigh.

"Tris, have you seen her?" Al states. "She's literally 6'0. She should be a guy."

"Here take this." Christina insists.

"I don't need it."

Will looks at me, "Tris you really..."

That's when I stand up.

"I said I don't need it!"

Will and Al walk away but Christina stays on the floor with me. She puts her arm around me and starts talking about all the good things I did in the fight. In my opinion it wasn't a lot.

After the last fight of the day we are called over by Eric. He's standing by this holographic board and soon enough every initiates name comes up.

"This board is your life. If you're in the red by the end of the first stage you're out."

I look up and see my name second from last. I let out a sigh and walk back towards our imitate bunker. I sit on my bed and lean against the wall. Christina, Will and Al soon come over to me.

I look up at them and let out a sigh. "I'm never going to make it."

Christina grabs my arm. "Don't day that."

"It's true." I frown. "I'm going to be factionless."

"I feel like my parents would take me back." Al says.

"Erudite would never do that." Will says looking down.

"Even if we were allowed..." I state. "I wouldn't go back because I don't belong there anymore."

Christina jumps up from my bed and immediately pulls all of us up. "Enough with this depressing shit! Let's go get tattoos!"
——————————————————————
We all walk into the pit and make our way towards the tattoo shop. Music is blaring and there's a lot of people. Christina immediately runs up to this one design and shows it to Will. I totally think she has a crush on him.

I walk along the wall that has all the prints and out of the corner of my eye I see the girl who gave me my test, Tori. I slowly walk towards her and when she sees me she immediately turns around.

As I get close to her I start to talk. "Hey, you remember me right? I just wanted to ask..."

"I only do tattoos." She says as she cuts me off.

"Okay?"

I walk towards the tattoo I plan on getting and take it towards Tori. When she sees me coming back towards her she rolls her eyes and starts to clean her equipment.

"I would like this." I say smiling.

She grabs the design off of me and leads me towards a chair. I sit down and immediately pull the collar of my shirt down to reveal my collarbone. She puts the ink in and places a patch on my skin.

"Can I just ask..."

"You made a mistake choosing Dauntless. They'll find out about you here."

"Who will?"

"The people you are a threat to."

"I don't understand. I chose Dauntless, I'm going to be Dauntless."

"For your sake, I hope so."

Tori finishes the tattoo and removes the patch from my skin. It looks so good. The three crows, one for each member of my family.

I open my eyes and immediately jump from my covers to get dressed. It's early, we don't have to be awake for a couple of more hours but I need to practice so I don't get cut.
