Audacity - (Eric/OC Divergent Fanfic)

Chapter 1

The snow softly drifted on to the cracked pavement metres below me. My legs dangled off the ledge of the building as i leaned back, my arms stretched out behind me on the icy stone. My red curls blew across my face in the bitter wind but the plain grey jumper my brother gave me before he left kept most of it tamed under its hood. It was past hours, maybe around 2 in the morning but i couldnt sleep with all the thoughts of the upcoming choosing ceremony swimming in my head.

I've never really known where i belong. I was born into Abnegation but that didnt make it my home. I could never understand the art of losing yourself, i dont belong here. I never have. I always thought my older brother was the perfect child for this faction but clearly i was wrong. He might have just acted selfless to keep me going after our mother dissapeard considering our father turned to drinking, constantly blaming her 'death' on us . Either way hes gone now. He never even said bye. But i cant blame him for leaving, i'm happy he's gone. It means hes safe.

Unfortunatly for me though the only thing that had returned that evening three years ago was the devil. Over time we'd got him to calm down on the violence slightly but my brothers decision to leave had forced the anger to bubble to the surface. That was the night i'd recieced the worst beating of my life. 42 belt lashes.....he made me count and a few punches until i was half dead. Aparently my brother had transferd to erudite, thats what dad had told me.

I knew i wasn't gonna choose the blue empire myself since all the science and stuff made me fall asleep even if i did get good grades at school. Obviously staying here was a definite no go and candor sounded like a nightmare. They were way to in your face. That leaves amity or dauntless.

My aptitude test didnt help me because yes i'm divergent. Apparently i belong to dauntless, abnegation, amity and erudite but since i aint staying here or going near no lab or loopy land the only place i belong is dauntless.

I'd always admired the way they lived life. Whenever id seen them i just wanted to join them and i know i'm going to have to cause this is my only chance to escape.

My eyes traveld down the street taking in every other block of concrete for the last time. The roof has always been my hideout and honestly its the only place i can be left alone.

A shadow was sneaking around in the darkness further away. I started to panick and pushed myself back into the wall to hide myself as best i could. It wasnt the first time i'd seen movement in the darkness. Maybe it was the factionless seeking our attention, i wasnt too sure but either way i hide from the figure that was now leaning against the wall across the street. If he saw me and he was pestering for food hed not leave ubtil he had it. As it was winter the factionless tend to get aggresive especially over the last year with supplies in Amity running low.

The mysterious figure turned his head staring off down the road. I followed his gaze to see my father stumbeling towards the house, a bottle of whisky in his hand...oh no. I looked back to see the figure had dissapeard so i dived back through the side window into my room just as i heard the front door slam shut.

"Kierra!! Get down gere now!" his words were slurred but not as angry as normal.

I took a shaky breath as my feet reached the last step, "yes sir?"

"later today, what will you pick?"

I thought for a moment, if i say here he'll probably leave me alone.

"Abnegation, sir"

"Good. Now go to bed you'll need your rest," a smile spread across his face but never reached his cold stare as his hand clamped on my shoulder for a second but not in a friemdly way, more of a threat.

"Yes sir, good night sir" i turned and raced upstairs into my room before he could say anything else especially about how i was awake at this time.

As soon as my head hit the pillow, a wave of tierdness took me into a deep sleep full of demons and nightmares.
