《If It Was Caleb--Divergent alternative ending》Tris' P.O.V.
Advertisement
Home. I run over to the Abnegation sector. My parent's house is just like it was before the war. Untouched. I try to open the door,but it's locked. Who would lock the door? Maybe someone new lives here. I knock on the door. Footsteps are coming from inside. The door unlocks and I step back,afraid to see what's behind the door. A man opens the door. He has disgusting,dirty hair. I look into his eyes and he looks into mine. "Caleb?" I ask. My eyes go soft and a tear falls down my cheek. He nods. I run into him and give him a long hug. He pulls me inside and we sit on the couch. "How?" I ask. "We buried you." He shakes his head. "No,you didn't bury me." I must look confused because he just stares at me. "I knew the risks. That was a robot. I'm okay.". He says. He starts to cry. "Why didn't you say anything or come find me?" I ask with anger boiling inside me. "I thought you might hate me." He looks down. "You that I would be mad, seeing my seemingly dead brother?" I ask and he nods. "Now that you say that out loud,it sounds stupid." I roll my eyes. "Why didn't you go back to erudite?" I ask. He shrugs. I give him a weak smile. All of the sudden there is a knock on the door. I get up and answer it. Tobias.
I close the door and walk back to Caleb. "Who was that?" Caleb says. "Four." I hear banging on the door. "Isn't he your boyfriend?" He asks. I nod. "Yes,he didn't believe me when I went to find you." I say. "How did you know I was alive?" "I had a dream." I hear a body slam into the door. Caleb gets up and let's him in right as Tobias' goes in to slam the door. He loses his balance and almost falls. "Caleb?" He asks. His eyes go wide and Caleb nods. He looks at me with a sorry expression.

Tobias comes and sits next to me. "I'm sorry." I shake my head. He is sad. "How are you alive?" Caleb gets a smirk on his face. "Robot." Tobias gets an approving look and nods his head. "What's up with you guys?" Caleb says and I roll my eyes. "I wouldn't believe her. I was arrogant. Please forgive me." He says and looks at me. "You did save my life." I give a slight smile. Caleb looks confused. "I tried to walk off the train after you died." I look down at my feet. "Beatrice." He scolds. "You don't get it! You don't know what it's like to feel like you killed your mom,dad,and brother." Tears are welling up in my eyes. "I need to leave. Maybe you shouldn't have saved me." I say and stand up. Someone grabs my wrist behind me. Probably Caleb. Tobias knows better. I flip his arm around and pin it behind his back,quite painfully. Caleb winces and Tobias snickers to himself. "That's why I didn't do it,she is very underestimated. She is very strong." He says to Caleb and I walk out those doors.
Neither of them understand. I killed my whole family is. There was no point in living with the grief. He didn't think that it would be a good thing for me to know? Dumbass. I thought he was erudite. When I get to the train I jump on and see a little Abnegation boy. He is huddled in a corner, crying. I sit next to him. "Are you okay?" I ask. He shakes his head. "Look at me." He looks up at me. "What's wrong." I grab his hand. "Marcus." Marcus. Him. What could he do to this child. "Marcus Eaton?" I ask. He nods. "He is my dad. I'm Jacob Eaton." A look of shock comes over my face and I see the welts. The bruises. He looks to be about 5. I pick him up and jump out of the train. I hold him and run to our apartment. "Who is that?" People call out,but I'm in too much of a rush to answer. I sit him down on the couch and get a first aid kit. Tobias needs to come home. I bandage his arm and give him some ice. He sits next to me,dead silent. "Do you need or want anything?" I ask with caution. "Can I have something to eat? I haven't eaten in a day." "Sure." I say and get up. I make him a leftover burger and dauntless cake. I'm surprised that Tobias didn't eat all the cake. 'knock knock knock' I hear on the front door. What if it's Marcus?

He needs to be hidden. I walk him into the bedroom and answer the door. Tobias. "You don't have to knock " I say. He has a look of relief on his face. "I was worried that you'd do it again." He says. "I probably would've if it wasn't for him." I reply and carry him back onto the couch. "Who is this and what happened?" He asks. I pull him into the kitchen. "Abuse. Marcus. Marcus had a son after you left." I nod towards him. His eyes well up with tears. Then anger fills his eyes. He walks to Jacob. "What's your name?" Jacob looks scared. He backs away. Does Tobias look that much like Marcus? Clearly he does. "It's okay. This is four. He's nice." I say and Pat his shoulder. His eyes look up to me and I kneel next to him. "Jacob Eaton." He says and looks at the couch. Tobias'eyes go wide. He shakes his head. "Im your brother." Tobias says. Their eyes meet and both start to cry. That was the first time I've seen him cry. They embrace each other. "He did it to me too." Tobias says and shows him some scars. "Do you want to go to the dining hall?" I ask them both and they nod. Jacob tries to walk,but can't do it very well. I pick him up and his legs wrap around my waist. This boy didn't deserve this. Tobias didn't either.

In Z Finite
This is the story of Zarco, a young guy with a magic stone and not much else, and Caelum, a wingless "angel". "Caelum-That's stupid... Zarco-Eh, it is..." Ahem, anyway, a lot of action & adventure awaits them, as they are forced together on a journey in search of some magic stones of legendary power. "Zarco-Liar! We're currently doing a lot more of "trying to survive" than rock picking around here! Caelum-Yeah, that is pretty misleading." Ok, screw this, I am out, if nobody read this story it will be your fault. "Zarco-The hell are you talking about, you're the one who wrote this... Caelum-Since our writer is unreliable, I will finish this. This story at its core is just a fun rump, focused on action, adventure, and a lot of comedic dialogue and exchanges. If you had at least a chuckle reading this then you will probably enjoy the story. Zarco-Yo, thanks for reading till this point, we will meet again at the pages."

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
