Prologue

Evelyn Johnson was listening to the doctor list all of her possibilities. Evelyn felt hopeless; this was not the life she had wanted for her and her child. Either of them. When she defected from Erudite it was because she knew that she would not pass their initiation test. She thought that if joined Abnegation that she could lead a simpler life. How wrong she had been.

When she had got to Abnegation, initiation had been easier than she had thought and she was pleased to be accepted and wanted. For the first time in her entire life she felt like she was needed. So she easily feel into the role of dutiful Abnegation member. Being completely selfless. And thinking of other's needs first. She may not have been happy but she was content.

Then a few years later she met Marcus Eaton, one of the Abnegation Leaders. He was kind, selfless, and caring to Evelyn. It was not long until they were married. Evelyn did not love him; for she did not know what love was but she again was content.

Soon they were expecting their first child together. She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy; Tobias Eaton. The bond between her and Tobias was something grand; she knew it was love and she would do anything for him. This was also the around the time that she learned that Marcus had a darker side.

Marcus never hit her where a mark could be seen. The long sleeves of the Abnegation clothing with the long skirts hid many things well and he used this to his advantage. Evelyn ever spoke of this to anyone for she feared that he would take his anger out on Tobias if she did. As far as she knew he had never so much as raised a hand toward Tobias.

Evelyn took his beatings and never thought twice about it. Eventually Marcus started to be away from home more and more often due to politics. This caused the beatings to stop for months at a time. This is also when she found the time to have an affair.

She did not plan it that way but when she found out that she was pregnant, she knew she had to run and hide. She knew that she had to leave or Marcus would kill her. Or worse; her child. She knew she had to leave Tobias behind; Marcus had always been kind to the boy. She hoped that would not change.

Evelyn kissed Tobias goodbye before she officially disappeared. She snuck into the Erudite compound, where her brother still worked. She knew that he could help her and she could help him in the process.

Her brother Andrew Johnson and his new young wife Vivian had been trying to conceive a child of their own for almost a year. She had sent a note to her brother telling him to be expecting her and to tell no one that she was coming.

Evelyn paused as she readied herself to face her brother and explain everything. She quietly knocked on his door and waited. Soon she was inside with just Andre and Vivian. She explained everything to them.

"Don't you see Andrew?" Evelyn was pacing in her brother's living room. "This is the perfect solution to both of our problems."

"I have no doubt that you have thought this through Eve," Andrew eyed his sister as she walked back and forth while he and his wife were still sitting, much is shock. "But why do you want to become Factionless? I don't understand that."

"I have my own reason little brother. I just need you to trust me." Evelyn moved to sit on the coffee table in front of her brother and sister-in-law. Taking both their hands in hers. "I'm barely pregnant. We have plenty of time to tell people that you and Vivian are expecting. I can have the baby here. Erudite has home births all the time."

"Are you sure big sis?" Andrew looked like she was already gone. She knew that this was a lot to ask of someone but she was desperate.

"I'm going to be alright, I can promise you that. Right now the most important thing is making sure this baby has a future. Will you help me or not?" Evelyn never for one minute doubted that they wouldn't. She really had thought this all though.

"Of course we will Evelyn." Vivian hugged her and whispered in her ear. "After all you are family."

8 Months 2 Weeks Later

Evelyn watched Vivian from door way of the nursery. It had been one week since she had given birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Evelyn had only made one request for the baby: she wanted to name her before she left.

Andrew came up and stood behind her shoulder watching his wife. "Have you decided on a name yet? People are getting curious. She is a week old today."

Evelyn sighed and turned from the new baby. "I have Andrew. I want you to name her Jenivieve." Evelyn was determined to not change her mind now. She had everything planned out and she knew what she needed to do. Keeping the baby was not part of her plan; no matter how much she loved her. That was why should couldn't keep Tobias either.

"It's a beautiful name. We'll call her Eve" Andrew looked his sister in the eyes and knew he was saying goodbye.

"My bag is all packed by the door. Tell Vivian the name after I am gone. Give them both a kiss for me." Evelyn quickly kissed her brother on the cheek and left. She didn't let the tears fall until she was out of Erudite territory.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this little teaser. It really serves as the back story for Jenivieve. Evelyn will be in the story but not the main character. She would be considered a supporting character. The story with center around Eric and Jenivieve. I will switch between their points of view. Enjoy.
