Hello. How have you all been? I must admit, I was expecting a lot of heat, but I was a bit hurt when I had so many people tell me that I made the worst ending ever. I'm sorry you felt that way. But just think, there would be no sequel if I hadn't done it. I thought I did a pretty good job.

P.S. If you haven't read Forever10, read that first otherwise you won't know what the hell is going on.

Chapter 1

"Carter! Get your brothers up please!"

The brown haired girl with the penetrating gray eyes groaned and sat up, sleepily rubbing her eyes. After looking at her soundly sleeping brothers, she quickly decided which method she would use to wake them up. Well, wake one of them up. Carter had a soft spot for six year old TJ. Aiden, on the other hand, would receive no mercy. No mercy didn't mean that Carter hated her brother. The two were actually very close.

Carter gently shook Tobias, named after their missing father, awake.

"TJ," she whispered. "Get dressed and go by mom."

He nodded sleepily and did as his sister said.

Carter turned to the opposite side of the large room, where Aiden's bed was. Silently, she walked over to his bedside. Aiden was curled up in a ball, which made him look a lot smaller than he actually was. Even though Aiden was only fifteen, he looked like he should be at least eighteen due to his size and angular features. The size he had inherited from their dad, but he looked at lot like their mom.

His full name was Aiden Christopher Eaton. Apparently their father had begged their mom to settle on this name. She hadn't liked it because it sounded funny when his middle name was excluded. Carter happened to agree.

Anyways, Aiden hated it when anyone called him Aiden Christopher or Aiden Eaton. Anyone except his mom or his siblings would get punched if they didn't call him either Aiden or Ace, the nickname his father had given him.

Often times, when Carter woke him up, she'd say his full name. She'd whisper it at first, gradually growing louder each time she spoke. When he opened his eyes, she'd scream his name right in his face and punch him as hard as she could in the shoulder.

Why did Carter do this? Because she was his sister. It was her job.

But this morning when she did it, Aiden did something strange. Instead of glaring at his sister and saying, "Fuck off," like he usually did, Aiden pulled her into a bone crushing hug. She returned it cautiously, very confused by his actions.

"Make sure you get Dauntless today, okay Carter?" he told her.

Of course. He was talking about the aptitude test that she would be taking today. The test that would determine what faction that Carter truly belonged in. While everyone in her faction thought that she would get Dauntless, Carter herself didn't know what to expect. She was known to have a very unpredictable personality. She can vary between the nicest girl you'll ever meet and the meanest. Okay, not the meanest, but not very nice.

Due to her fluctuating personality, Carter feared that she may be Divergent. Lately it's becoming more and more common, and even though it's not as dangerous to be one, it's not something that you want to announce. There are still some Erudite that want the Divergent gone. After they're studied them first of course.

There is a reason that Carter knows all of this information. Her mother, Tris, the Dauntless prodigy, was Divergent. Tris didn't exactly tell her daughter that, but Carter has eavesdropped on enough of her conversations with her dad to figure it out.

Dad.

That's a word that Carter hasn't said aloud in a long time. Her dad was gone. Most of the faction, including Aiden, believed that he was dead. Carter, along with her mother and her friends, believed that he was still alive. Alive and trying to get back to us after six years. There was no evidence to prove this assumption, but there was no evidence to proof that he was alive either.

Well, that's what everyone thought. Carter knew that her father was alive. He told her so. A few days after he went missing, she found a note. It was tucked into a little hole in a small tree. Carter's dad had told her that a bird would probably make its nest there. Carter took to looking every time she walked past it. When her dad first went missing, she refused to leave that apartment. Since she was only ten, Carter didn't quite grasp what the word gone meant. She had told her mom that someone had to be home when her dad came back.

"I'm sure that when dad comes home we'll all be here." Her mother had said. That was the first and only time that Carter had seen her mother cry/

When she finally did leave the apartment, it was to go to school. She was walking with her best friend Grayson, his twin sisters, and Aiden. When they walked past the tree Carter had to check. Grayson never understood why she checked every time. There had only been a nest once.

But Grayson understood that day, and every day after. It was something that Carter and her dad had done. She was trying to keep him close.

When she had looked, Carter hadn't expected to see anything. But she did. She was shocked to see the small piece of paper in there.

When she took it out and examined the rushed, untidy scrawl, Carter knew that it couldn't have been anyone but her dad. That was their spot.

He wrote that he'd be back. He promised. And her dad has never broken a promise that he's made her.

Carter never told anyone about the note. She felt that if she did, everyone would think that he was coming back soon. Every day he didn't come home would be heartbreaking. It already was for Carter; she didn't want others feeling the same way.

To know that her father was still alive… that was the best gift she could have ever received. But being let down every day when he didn't show up; it nearly killed her.

"Carter," Aiden said. "You're drifting again."

Carter looked at him for a moment. "Sorry," she muttered. Drifting off was something Carter commonly did. She would start to think deeply and stop paying attention to what was going on around her. Sometimes it got so bad that people would have to forcefully shake her awake. Apparently it started after her disappeared, though she's not always thinking about him when it happens.

"I'll get Dauntless today Aiden." Carter assured him, even though she herself didn't believe it. "Where else would I go?"

Her brother smiled at her. "You're right Carter. It was foolish of me to worry. You're too stupid to do anything but punch people."

Carter wiped that smirk off of his face after she delivered a swift, hard punch to his gut. Now it was her turn to smile. While he was groaning and clutching at his stomach, she said, "You got one thing right. I am very good at punching people."

-Page Break-

Since TJ was too young to jump on the trains, he and the other young Dauntless get escorted by a few parents. Carter and Aiden dropped him off and found their friends. Well, Carters friends and Aiden's two goons.

Their names were Luke and Tyler. They were the most annoying duo that Carter had ever met. Well, aside from Grayson's sisters. Once you get to know them they're okay, but when you first meet them you literally want to slap them both silly. But you don't, because if you target one, you target the other.

Haley and Erin were identical twins.

There is literally no way to tell them apart. Well, if you're not Carter it is. There are little clues. Carter pays close attention to people and she's managed to pick up on a few things.

For example: Haley's mouth is almost slightly open, like she wants to say something but is waiting for her turn. Erin likes to twirl her hair around her finger. All girls do this of course, but Erin does it almost incessantly.

It's like they have twin telepathy or something. They finish each other's sentences or say the same thing at the same times. It one is upset, the other is too. They're a package deal whether you like it or not.

"Hey Carter!" the twins shouted.

"Do you think," Erin began.

"That you're going," Haley interjected.

"To get Dauntless?" They finished together.

"Of course she is!" answered a grinning Grayson. Carter gave him a smile in return.

Grayson, unless he's very good at hiding things, is one hundred and seven percent Dauntless. His personality, unlike Carters, doesn't change. There is no doubt in Carters mind that his aptitude test will result in Dauntless.

"It'll be alright Carter." He whispered to her on the train. He squeezed her hand tightly and rubbed reassuring circles with his thumb. He knew of Carters fear about being Divergent, he just didn't share it.

Now don't take the hand holding the wrong way. Carter and Grayson weren't dating. They tried about a year ago but it was just too awkward. When people would they stuff about what a good couple they would make, the two would just look at each other and laugh. Luckily, they were able to resume their friendship as if nothing had ever happened.

The beginning of the day went by very slowly. At the moment, Grayson and Carter were sitting side by side, waiting patiently for our names to be called.

Carter was called first. Grayson wished her good luck as she walked away.

Carter took a deep breath before entering the area designated only for her.

It was time to figure out where she truly belonged.

Now I don't know if I'm going to stick with the third person thing so the next chapter might be in first.
