《If It Was Caleb--Divergent alternative ending》Tris' P.O.V

I wake up and start to get ready. The initiates will be here in two hours. I start to get ready and Tobias is still sleeping. I decide not to wake him,he gets ready fast. I'm putting on a little make up and hear him stirring. "Morning. Only an hour and a half until we need to be at the net. That includes breakfast." I say quickly. "Good morning to you too." He says and I laugh sarcastically. By the time that I'm done,he is too. We head to the dining hall and I grab a muffin. We sit at our usual table. All of us start our jobs today. "Remember,don't tell them anything about four and I okay?" They nod.
--------------------Page break------------------
We wait at the net for the first initiate. I see a blur of white. Candor. I help him off the net. He looks me in the eyes. "What is your name?" I say in my instructor voice. He doesn't answer. "Hello?" I say. "Jake."He says.
More people come down and we only have 5 transfers.
Jake,Taylor- Candor
Lisa-Amity
Greg-Abnegation
Darin-Erudite
We gather them all and begin. "We are your instructors. I'm Six and he is four." I point to Tobias. "Wait... Like the numbers?" Asks Lisa. "No,like the letters." I say sarcastically and everyone laughs except her. "You weren't even Candor. I'm surprised. Talk like that again and we'll deduct points." Again I get some laughs. "First we will show you the pit." Tobias says. We walk and stand by the chasm. "The chasm reminds us that there is a fine line between bravery and idiocy." I start to have flashbacks. I fall against the wall. Tobias rushes to me. "Are you okay?" He asks. I nod. "Flashbacks." I say. "Of what?" Darin asks. "What did we tell you?" Tobias says. "During my initiation I was kidnapped and almost thrown into the chasm and my friend killed himself in the chasm," I say. I try not to cry. He looks down. I can tell that he feels bad.

Next we go to the training room. "After lunch,you will be here by 1 or your out. Got it?" I say and they nod. We walk them to the cafeteria for lunch. They succeed to the corner table. Tobias and I sit at our normal table. We talk about our initiates. Sounds like Uriah got way worse initiates. I'm so glad. Tobias and I go to the training room early to set up the targets and knives. At exactly 1 everyone enters. "Today we will be throwing knives." Tobias says. "Six." He says and points to the Target with his head. I walk up to the Target and stand like I did one year ago. He turns to face me and throws a knife to my side. Then above my head. Lastly one that cuts my ear. They all gasp. "Your turn." I say. They all start to throw knives. They all are okay. Everyone hit the target at least once. As of today the ranks go...

We dismiss them and I head off to work. An hour later Lisa and Taylor show up at the parlor. I see them walk in as I finish up a tattoo of a Lily on a girl's wrist. She gets up and walks on the mirror. "Thanks." She says and walks away. They are staring at me,so I walk up to them. "Didn't know you worked here." They say. "Well I do so what would you like?" I ask. "A rose on my shoulder." Taylor says. I nod and lead her to my chair. When we decide on a design I finally start. She keeps squirming. After an hour it's done. I walk up to Lisa. "And you?" I ask. "Yellow heart on my wrist." That's easy. She sits down and I begin. Hers only takes 15 minutes. They leave together. It's almost time for dinner,so I start to pack up. Instead of going to eat,I jump onto the train. I hear footsteps behind me,but they don't get in the same car as me. I sit in the corner and cry.

I cry for Caleb. Normally,I'd go see Caleb. We pass erudite and the tears come harder. I'm are approaching my destination. I lean my head out and jump. I walk along the ground and hear someone get off behind me. Their feet are moving much faster than mine. Suddenly I see Christina next to me. "Chris?!" I ask. Our eyes meet. "I saw you and thought I would come with you." She says and gives a faint smile. I see it. I see where Caleb was buried. I look at his watch,on my wrist. My hands cradle my head as tears fall. "Why couldn't it have been me?" I ask in a mumble. "Because Caleb wouldn't let you die." Chris says. "He loves you." Tears fall onto the grass. She opens her pocket and pulls out two burgers. One of them she keeps and the other,she offers to me. I shake my head. We sit together and I cry and cry. Where does Tobias think I am?

Mortis Operandi 2 - Hostile Takeover
Author note: First, thank you for reading. Now that book 2 is done and after a month of it sitting here I've moved it to Amazon. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07X12GZMZ the first book Mortis Operandi - New Hire can be located on Amazon ----> https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Currently it is on Kindle Unlimited as well. Enjoy. Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. The sudden exit of Mortis Operandi's CEO, the company was facing ruin. The goblin Eft was choosen as the new CEO and boss. The previous CEO made promises and contracts that Eft now has to fulfill, and it is causing a lot of trouble. Restoring the ancestral home of Ogre's seems easy enough, what if a thriving town now resides there? Along with facing corporate invasion, Eft must take on the tasks he wouldn't wish upon his worst foe, Customer Service. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
8 126When Earth Sneezed A Dungeon (A LitRPG)
No one knows why but there was once a time when Earth made such a loud sneeze that millions went deaf, and a dungeon popped up out of nowhere. It was filled with monsters, riches, and death. A hundred years later a person known as Terax stood beside the bed of his dying father. He gave Terax a golden pendant and told him that, "You must head for the dungeon, because..." And with that, his father passed away before telling him the reason. That pissed Terax off, so he headed to the dungeon to find out what his father wanted to tell him.
8 117Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
