《If It Was Caleb--Divergent alternative ending》Tris' P.O.V.
Advertisement
I wake up in the morning and find Tobias laying next to me. When he is sleeping he.looks so much more peaceful. I get out of bed,slowly,and walk to the living room. No one is there,so I grab a book. Suddenly I remember all the wedding presents in the corner of the room. I ignore them for now. After about an hour,Tobias comes walking out. He comes up behind me and kisses my cheek. We turn on the TV and wait for Caleb to come out so we can go get some breakfast. We are halfway through an episode when Caleb comes out. "Ready to get some breakfast?" I ask as he walks up behind me. "Sure." He says and we walk into the dining hall. We grab our food and sit at our usual table. Everyone is already there because we waited for Caleb to get up. "What happened to you?" Asks Christina and looks at Caleb. She looks behind me and sees Peter. "Was that you?" She says and points to Peter. He nods. He looks ashamed. "You'd fit right into Dauntless." She says and he smiles with her. "Sorry Tris." I hear Uriah say meekly. "You did nothing wrong. I shouldn't have walked out." I say. We go back to eating. As we almost finish,Caleb gets up to leave. "Bye Caleb. I'll try to visit soon." I say as I give him a hug. He walks back to erudite and we all go to our apartment. I grab Tobias' hand as we walk back. When we get into the apartment I sit on the couch and look at the enormous pile of gifts. That's what happens when you invite the whole faction. "Wanna tackle the corner pile?" He asks and we laugh. "Sure" I say as we walk to the corner. Most of it is home appliances. From Caleb we got books. That good because I've read all the ones we have. Zeke got a box of condoms. Tobias holds it up and laughs. I wonder if he wants kids. I do. The rest of it is mostly money,besides Chris. She got me a lot of clothes and make up.

We keep opening until there is one envelope left. It reads.
To Tobias and Beatrice
Your peace will be short lived.
-M
I pick it up and show it to Tobias. We only know one person that would do this. Marcus. Our eyes meet and I can see the anger boiling inside of him. "We'll be fine." I say. He doesn't believe me. "No. I'm getting a security system." He says and I agree. That's not a bad idea. "Let's go to the store now." He says. He sure is taking this seriously. "Okay." I say and slip my combat boots on. We get to the store and buy it. Tobias has it set up within an hour. Geez. He is really worried. Probably not as worried as when he won't be home.At least I have to work tomorrow.
------------------PAGE BREAK---------------------
It's been about a week since we got that note and nothing has happened. I think it was a joke,but he won't let it go. "You work in the control room. You can see everything." I say,trying to calm him down. "I just don't want to lose you." He says sweetly. I lean into him and give him a long,tender,kiss. Afterwards I start to get ready for work at the tattoo parlor. I put on the usual and I bit of make-up. Since Christina got me some makeup. I've been wearing eyeliner and a red lip. I like it.
I head to the parlor and hear the machine buzzing. I sit down at my station and wait. No one normally comes in this early. It's only 10. I wait until a girl comes in,asking for a butterfly covering her back. I sit and do the tattoo. It takes hours and she keeps squirming. She needs to stop moving or I will mess up. Finally,she's done and seems satisfied. She pays at the counter and leaves. That's the only tattoo I do all day because is took 5 hours. I wanted to do I really good job. I head to the apartment after my shift is over. I walk in and Tobias is already there. His shift doesn't end for another hour. "Hey honey" I say when I get inside. He doesn't look amused. "Are you okay?" I ask and put my hand on his back. "No" "What's wrong?" I ask. "I just don't want to leave you alone. Remember the note?" I nod slowly. He lifts his head to look at me. "I don't want to lose you." Tobias says and begins to cry. "You won't lose me." I say and grab his hand. "You can't promise that." He says. He's right. I cant. "Come on. Let go get some dinner." I say and get up. He's letting this consume him.

We walk to the dining hall and he seems really on edge. "You work in the control room. You can see the whole compound." I say and try to look at him. He continues to look at the ground. "Tobias. You are letting this consume you life." I say just quiet enough that no one would hear. "I just don't want anything to happen to you. I love you." He says and we continue to walk. Now his head is up,not down. We walk into the dining hall and head to the table. "What's up with you?" Uriah asks Tobias. I look at him,but he doesn't look back. "At the wedding we got a note with a threat and he will not just let it go." I say to him and he nods understandingly.
After eating,I grab everyone some dauntless cake. I place a piece in front of each of them. "Thanks." They all say. Within minutes the cake is gone. Tobias and I go back to the apartment. I change into one of his oversized shirts. He puts on some sweatpants and we go to bed. His arms wrap around me and squeeze. He is genuinely worried.

Berserker- Crank Wars
Nearly 500 years have passed since the so-called apocalypse where souls dominated their control over the human vessels and grew into fierce monsters. A small frail kid saved humanity from getting wiped out of the face of the earth through his strangely powerful and unique techniques and taught them to the humans that followed him. He became a legend and humans developed special powers called cranks from his teachings. Humans couldn't procreate anymore. A very few thousands of last generation humans that remained or stayed alive by becaming crankers now constitutes the only humanity left on the planet. And they should continue to keep levelling up their cranks by slaying monsters and siphoning their souls to stay immortal and most of them tend to form teams to increase their odds. Everything was wrist-slittingly boring like that until one of those teams went ahead and mistakenly awakened the legend kid from his deep, and sound slumber. --------- One Chapter @Everyday -------------------- Unfortunately, I don't own the cover. I found it on Pinterest. And edited it a little.

The Fracture
It was a normal day for the inhabitants of ERT-5901, more commonly known by the populace as Earth. A beautiful planet with lush resources and fertile land, well at one point anyways. Children were born, the elderly died, and Man was as corrupt as ever. But hey, what can you do about that? Can’t change human nature… But that's not the point. Basically the planet was peaceful, for the most part. Certainly they were better off than the species on FTL-3470… We don’t talk about them. Better to leave that book unopened. Anyways, that was all until January 5th of the year 2025. When the sky broke. Fractured. Stunning ocean blue cracks were spotted in the sky all over the planet. A spiders web of cracks and crevices littered the blue skies, tearing all that global peace to shreds. All while Wyatt Walker, a sad example of a human being, was black out drunk in a bar somewhere in LA. This is a post-apocalyptic, portal isekai, high fantasy kind of story set on our very own green Earth! The world has fractured, broken. The inhabitants of ERT-5901 are in for quite the quick and dramatic change in their way of life. Murder, theft, and death have become the norm. Survival of the fittest to the extreme. If you can’t keep up, then good luck playing the game. Hello, Kaiser here! I am the author of this lovely story and I would just like to put a few disclaimers down here. First, English is, in fact, my first language. This by no means I will have perfect grammar and there are bound to be spelling mistakes (please forgive me) and places where I accidentally put plot holes. If you find anything, I would appreciate it if you could let me know so I can fix / change it. I also welcome any constructive criticism or opinions you might have about the story (doesn’t always mean I will change something). Second, I am by no means a professional writer here. Just a confused student who wanted to write something. So, uh, here's my story? Third, if you can’t handle any of the following I recommend you find a different story as I will by no means change any of these topics. [Gore, Profanity, Twisted themes, Dark scenes, and Death] If you’re a sensitive person or a queasy person I would highly recommend a different story. Fourth, I would like to write with freedom so I will by no means be lenient with my writing. I intend to write without mercy. Characters will die, bad things will happen, blood will be spilled, and humans will continue to be humans. I would like to write things as realistically as possible while still having that dash of fantasy. Not everything will be all dark and gloom, there will be happy and funny moments mixed! (Hopefully, not a lot of edge) Enjoy! ッ
