Warning this is my first attempt at Fan fiction so please excuse any mistakes. x
Tris's POV
Today. Today would change my life. Today is the choosing ceremony in which I will decide the rest of my life. The world has changed, it's now comprised of factions, groups in which you enter depending on both an aptitude test and your own instinct. The world wasn't always like this, we used to be free, to live and do what we please. But those days have long gone, there was a war. A great one. One that decimated nearly everything and everyone there is but a handful of us left perhaps a million or two. In Ancient history we learnt all about a time when there was billions of us. Since then, society decided this was the best to way to survive is to live in 5 factions each comprised on how they believed the war started. Some believed it was ignorance, those who believed that formed Erudite the Intelligent. Others blamed being unkind they formed Amity the Peaceful. Some blamed dishonesty, they created Candor the Honest. Many blamed selfishness, those who believed that formed Abnegation and Those who blamed fear formed Dauntless the Brave.
Each year all 16-year-olds take an aptitude test to decide which faction they're most suited for, some however don't fit into a category - Divergents. I'd only learnt of this yesterday-
'You're results were inconclusive, you showed positive for Erudite, Abnegation and Dauntless. They call it Divergent'
My test administrator, Tori, warned my never to speak of my divergence, before then I'd been a firm believer in choosing the faction the test gave us, but what happens when the test doesn't give you a straight answer. Amity and Candor had never been an option and regardless of my test results I would never fit into Erudite. So the real battle was between Abnegation and Dauntless. Choosing either would make me similer to the other faction - if I chose Dauntless it would make make me selfless and if I chose Abnegation it would make me brave.
