Imogen Walker is a 16 year old girl from abnegation. She doesn't feel like she fits into abnegation very well, she can't understand why she should always be helping people and putting people before herself all the time. Some people would call her selfish and self-centred, but Imogen sees it as being head strong and independent. She is excited to have the aptitude test to find out which faction she belongs too . Eric Coulter is a ruthless dauntless leader who doesn't take orders from anyone, he doesn't let people control him, and doesn't take nonsense from anyone. He's the type of person that people don't want to get in a confrontation with and someone who you don't want to be on their bad side. He is cold hearted and doesn't let people see his nice side, if he even has one, until he meets a special initiate called Imogen Walker. This story will contain a bit of smut.
