Tobias Daughter...
It has been sixteen years since my mother died. Sixteen years. I was a year old when she died, she had recovered from her bullet wounds from David. Her mother, a hallucination. She didn't survive long though. An attack sprung out again the war not finished, my mother was shot when she tried to protect me, and it's all my fault. I killed my mother.
My father tried to put the factions back in place, after the reveal of what they were to keep him occupied, away from me. My father didn't think it was right though, after all he and my mother (Tris) had fought for. He stopped it soon after and tried to carry on life as normal. But then four years ago a group of former Erudite decided they wanted to live the life as they did before... They rebelled and won, they life my father thought he had escaped came back. He now had to protect me.
It was the aptitude test. I wasn't scared, I probably wasn't Divergent for Tobias wasn't just my mum, but I would be more likely to resist the serums. "Emma?" I jumped at the sound of his voice, I hadn't heard it for a while. "Yes?" I replied peeking around the corner of my bedroom door.
"We need to go." Tobias said blankly. Great, the test so soon?
"Coming..." I ran down the hallway into the living room where Tobias was standing, he was facing towards the door, trying not to look me in the eye. Evelyn was standing behind me, she took me in a short embrace and said: "Choose wisely." I hugged her and pulled away. Evelyn has been there for me more than Tobias has, not because he has been ignoring me but because he has to work at the Dauntless compound in the security room. Ever since the rebellion, things have been tighter security and they need my dad more than ever. Everyone lives in the middle of the city, the factions spread out to the border of the city, and so when I choose I definitely cannot see my family except Tobias if I choose Dauntless.
I ran to the door, I didn't want dad to come with me, I wanted to do this by myself. I felt his piercing stare lock on me, but I reached for the doorknob and turned it. A gush of air pushing back my blonde hair. I stepped outside and started to walk towards the school. I heard the door slam behind me, I hoped he wasn't coming so I glanced behind my shoulder, he was right behind me... great.
"Did you think I wouldn't come?" He asked me.
"No, I knew you would, I just don't WANT you to come." I replied. I felt his arm brush against mine and I looked up, he still wasn't looking at me but at the sky infront of him.
"Why?"
"Because, what if I don't take the test right, what if I resist it. I don't want you there, if it doesn't go right, they will kill me. I don't want to upset you, and you there will make me nervous." I felt tears stream down my face. He still isn't looking at me so I quickly wipe them away.
