I don't own divergent just the plot

Authors note: Caleb is the same age as Four/Tobias, so Two years older. This will be a 4/Tris unless I think something else is better.

BEATRICE P.O.V 14 years old:

Today is Caleb's choosing ceremony. Caleb has always been the perfect fit for abnegation. He is the most selfless person I know. So you would think I wouldn't have to worry about Caleb not coming back. But I have this feeling he will not be coming home tonight. I have a feeling he will leave us and be considered a traitor to our faction.

I have only started thinking like this since last night. He came home from his aptitude test acting strangely. He didn't give his seat up on the bus when a Candor man was standing up. He sat there without acknowledging the man at all.

Flashback (the night before)

"What is on your mind tonight Andrew?" My mother asks. We all know that it is the new article that Erudite released about Abnegation and us running the government terribly.

"Jeanine Matthews. She has released an even worse article then the one before. She is now claiming stuff about Caleb wanting to leave. Saying that we are terrible people so he will leave us tomorrow," My dad says in a huff.

"Well what's so wrong with that? What if I do leave due to certain reasons?" Caleb snaps under his breath. We aren't supposed to speak unless directly spoken to at the dinner table. That is what's so shocking about it.

The look on my face must tell my mom that he said something. I have never been good at hiding my emotions and fitting into abnegation.

"Did you say something Caleb?" My mother asks turning her attention to him.

He is quick with an excuse "No, I just had to clear my throat. Sorry about the interruption."

"Okay then, Would you like me to get you some water…"

End flashback

The rest of the night caleb kept muttering things underneath his breath. Just quiet enough that Mother and Father couldn't hear them. But I could hear them clearly. The weird thing is they are all about Erudite.

Mother and Father didn't notice, or just chose to not pay any attention. But I noticed. I paid close attention to his actions and words last night.

When he went to his room later that night he gave me a hug and told me he loved me. Caleb never shows any affection because it's not an Abnegation thing to do. That is when I knew that he would leave us.

I really want Caleb to be happy. But I don't want him to leave, I don't want his decision to make Father hate him.

"Beatrice, it is time to say goodbye to Caleb," My mother informs me.

I want to give him another hug, but that is to much public affection. Which I have never understood. He pulls me in for a hug, anyway. I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes. It takes everything in me to not cry.

He whispers "I love you," In my ear.

"I love you two Caleb,"

We break away and Caleb goes to the front of the room with the rest of the other 16 year olds. I might not get to see him again until visiting day, and that's only if Erudite takes down their Abnegation ban.

"The Ceremony will begin in 20 minutes. Leaders please come to the stage for a quick meeting," Max, the leader of dauntless, says.

My Father and Marcus Eaton go to the stage. My mother and I find seats in the abnegation section.

As we sit down my mother says, "I will miss Caleb dearly, but I hope his choice makes him happy." She smiles sadly.

I grab her hand and give it a squeeze to tell her that I am here for her.

"Where do you think he will go?" I ask already knowing the answer to the question.

"Erudite, Father will not be pleased but he will always love Caleb." I squeeze her hand again before I inform her that I must use the restroom.

I get up out of my seat and head toward the restroom. I pass a window in the hallway, I stop to look at the train passing. Dauntless members are hanging out of the window preparing to jump.

The all jump out and start hollering, and yelling with excitement. I have always admired the Dauntless. They are so carefree and just seem like they have so much fun all the time. I wish I lived that life.

I must have been staring out of the window for awhile because I can hear the Dauntless behind me. I turn around to look at them and suddenly realise why I am out here, to use the restroom.

I quickly walk to the restroom. As I am walking I get caught in a group of Dauntless. They cause me to trip and fall. Just as I am bracing for impact, someone catches me.

I open my eyes and see it is a handsome boy from Abnegation. I quickly get lost in his deep ocean blue eyes as a boy from Dauntless asks me a question. I didn't pay any attention to the question.

They boy looks to be about 16 years old, but worn out and tired. He has a spare upper lip and a hooked nose. Dark brown hair and beautiful ocean blue eyes.

"Are you alright?" The boy asks. His voice is deep and calming.

I simply nod as he puts me upright on my feet.

"I am so sorry, I got a little excited about choosing ceremony today. You sure your okay?" The Dauntless boy asks.

"Yeah, I am alright. Thanks for asking," I respond finally pulling my gaze away from the Abnegation boy.

"No problem, what's your name?" The dauntless boy asks. I almost miss it because the abnegation boys hand is still on my back. Sparks are flying through my body.

"Umm… Well it's Beatrice, but I don't really like it, So you can call me Tris."

"Well Tris It's nice to meet you. I am Zeke and this is my brother Uriah." Zeke says gesturing over to a boy just a year or two younger than him.

"Nice to meet you." I take this as a chance to learn Abnegation Boys name. "And your name is?"

He takes his hand off my back and rubs the back of his neck "Uh… Tobias, But I plan on changing it when I change factions. Not sure what it will be yet though," he says shyly. "It's nice to meet you Zeke. I hope we can be Friends in Dauntless. I am planning on transferring there today."
"An Abnegation to Dauntless? That's unheard of. Of course I will be your friend, I have a feeling you'll be popular with the ladies. That could do me some good," Zeke sayings wiggling his eyebrows. Jealousy rushes through me as he says this. It's not like I have the right to be jealous. All Tobias has done for me is prevented me from falling flat on my face.

"Maybe, But there is one that I have had my eye on recently. Maybe you could help me get her attention," Tobias glances in my direction as he says this.

They chat some more about Dauntless and I stand there awkwardly. I am about to ask a question about Dauntless when I get interrupted by the overhead speaker: "10 minutes until the ceremony. New coming members please find your spot before the 5 minute warning."

"Well looks like we better get going. Nice to meet you Tris, Will we be seeing you in 2 years?"
"How-how did you know?" I ask stunned, I don't think I said anything about wanting to transfer.

"Your curiosity of what Dauntless is like gave it away." he says like it was nothing. "Well you should meet my brother, he is the same age as you. You could get two know him so you have some friends at Dauntless before you transfer. They could prepare you for initiation two! Uriah, Lynn, Marlene, get over here!"

"Whats up?" Uriah asks.

"Well this is Tris, she will be in the same initiation class as you in two years. I think y'all would be great friends. You should get to know each other. Maybe y'all could hang out this summer or something," Zeke suggests.

"Yeah sure," Uriah says happily.

Zeke and Tobias go and find their spots for choosing ceremony, which leaves me here with Zeke's brother and friends.

"So you want to come to Dauntless in two years?" One girl says trying to figure me out. "An abnegation to Dauntless is unheard of. Lets hope you will survive initiation."

"Lynn be nice," the other girl says.

"Well this is Marlene," Uriah says gesturing to the girl next to him. She is really pretty, shoulder length blonde hair. Full lips, and dark brown eyes. Marlene gives me a wave before Uriah gestures to the other girl and says "And this is Lynn," She has long brown hair and hazel eyes. She looks really really intimidating, but I bet she is really nice once you get to know her. Lynn just looks me up and down, probably judging my small figure.

Both girls are wearing tight clothing, showing off their figure. Never have I been so self conscious. I wish I could look like them.

"It's nice to meet you, I am Tris," I say with a smile and a small wave.

"If you want to succeed at Dauntless you should start practicing now. You don't have a lot of muscle and you don't look very athletic. We could train you if you are very committed to it."

"Lynn be nice," Marlene says again. I have a feeling this is Lynn's way of being nice. I don't mind it at all.

"Really? You guys would help me?" I asked surprised

"Why not? You seem like you might need it," She responds plainly.

"That would be great!" I say excited.

"FIVE MINUTE WARNING, EVERYONE PLEASE FIND YOUR SEATS." `

"Well, would you like to meet up tomorrow? We could all hang out and get to know each other. Become friends?" Marlene suggests

We agree to meet at the bean around 8:30 am. Marlene and Uriah say goodbye, Lynn gives me a little bit nicer glance before walking away.


We all head to sit with our families, I have to try really hard to not explode. I just made friends in Dauntless! They are going to help me!

I don't pay attention to most of the ceremony until Max says "Pedrad, Ezekeil" This is Uriah's brother. The one from the hallway.

I watch him as he confidently walks up to the stage. Max hands him a knife and he cuts his hand. With no hesitation he lets his blood fall into the hot coals of the Dauntless bowl.

Yells and cheers erupt in the room from the Dauntless section.

Next up is Caleb. Mom grabs my hand mostly for support and squeezes it. I know he is leaving but I just can't imagine my life without him. I want him to stay in abnegation, I really do, but I want Caleb to be happy. He wouldn't be happy here, so I just hope his new faction suits him.

He takes the knife from Max. He holds the knife and just looks at it from a moment. He cuts his left hand and lets the blood pool up. He keeps his eye on his hand the whole time. He looks up at the ceiling and as he looks up I think I see a tear roll down his cheek. Mom squeezes my hand harder. I didn't realize this would be such a difficult decision for him. I can tell he is still contemplating what to do.

He brings his eyes back down to the crowd. He finds me and mom. He keeps his eyes on us as his hand goes over the abnegation bowl…
