This is my, what, fourth story I've started? I think so. But, I have to start them because it clears my mind of ideas and helps me continue the other ones.

Anyways, this is my first Divergent fic. I completely fell in love with Jeanine Matthews, I do love a good antagonist. So, this is my take on it. Be warned that I've changed a lot of things and added my own characters. I do not own Divergent at all. Also, it starts two years before the whole deal with Tris and Erudite trying to take over.

Dauntless Faction

Dread. That was the only feeling that Ramona Mason could process. She almost lost her composure in front of her seven year old brother, his big blue eyes full of excitement for her. The aptitude test was all little Kit could talk about these days.

"Ramona Mason." Her internal monologue interrupted by the sound of her name being called. Her body relaxing at the sight of Tori Wu.

She followed Tori into the room and made herself comfortable in the chair.

"Okay, you're gonna drink this and you'll be offered a series of choices that will test your aptitude for each faction. That'll give us your result. Bottoms up Ramona." Tori handed her a vial of green-blue liquid and she downed it.

"Ugh." Ramona felt Tori push her back into her seat and off into her head.

The first thing Ramona noticed was the tension of the atmosphere and the violent scuffle that was going on. Two men cornered a lanky boy, fear etched onto his face. Ramona did the first thing that came to her head and jumped to his rescue putting herself in between the men and the boy.

'Leave him be.' The men looked at her curiously. 'There is no need for this violence. We all know that violence only leads to more violence.'

The scene shifted and she was facing herself in a room full of mirrors. Her reflection mocking her. 'This isn't real.'

Ramona shot up panting, her eyes unfocused. Tori was tearing off the wires from her body and furiously typing on the keyboard.

"What happened?" She didn't receive an answer and the dread in her stomach only grew in intensity. "Tori? What's wrong? What were my results?"

Tori took a deep breath and took Ramona's hand. "Dauntless."

Ramona let out a sigh of relief.

"And Erudite, and Abnegation. Surprisingly, Amity." Tori squeezed her hand. "You're divergent Ramona. And divergents are in danger, you're in danger. You can't be controlled. You can't tell anyone about this, not your parents or friends. You can stay in Dauntless but it'll be dangerous but if you go to Abnegation it'll be safe there for you. You'll be under the radar."

She tried to process the words but couldn't. "Leave? I can't leave Tori."

Tori helped her up and escorted her to the door. "This is solely your decision Ramona but your actions could have repercussions on those closest to you. Please, be careful. Now, go, before a supervisor sees you."

I'm not getting my hopes up about people reading this but I just needed to get it out of there. Anyways, Jeanine will make an appearance on the next chapter.
