People said I was Abnegation to the core. I knew I was. Gabriel and Anna knew. So why did I feel like I didn't belong here? I have no idea.

"So, it's the big day, huh Cas?" Gabriel asked with a smile. I nod. We'd been through our aptitude tests, and today was the choosing ceremony.

"What are ya gonna choose? Seem like a good Abnegation already." I shrug as a response. "I'm not really sure, Gabriel. I honestly don't know."

"I know what I'm going to choose! Amity! This place is too…strict." The voice belongs to our sister Anna. She's never been a true Abnegation, not really. You can tell she's Amity at heart when you get to know her. She is very kind and peaceful. She's a great sister.

"Okay, you three, let's go," our dad says. We do not have a mother, she died when I was three. We go outside and get on the bus that will take us to the choosing ceremony. I give up my seat to and old Candor women who I can tell has trouble standing up. I grab onto the rail like many other Abnegation as the bus leads us to our futures.

-Dean's POV-

I run along the tracks with my brother Sam a pack of other Dauntless. Today is choosing day for Sam, and he seems like his heart is set on Dauntless. I grab the handle and swing myself inside the car, Sam repeating the process. I wear a black t shirt and black jeans with rips in the knees. Sam wears a black sweatshirt and black jeans.

"Sam, I just want you to know that whatever you choose, I'm totally fine with it. I just want you to be happy."

"Relax, Dean!" Sam says with an eye roll. "I'm picking Dauntless! I want to!"

"Alright, alright!" I say, putting my hands up in surrender. He laughs and I smile. We sit in silence by the door, watching the city roll by.

"I want to pick Dauntless because it's the only place I fit in. I don't wanna go to Erudite because…too much research. I mean, I'm fine with short term studying and stuff but…no way. Candor and Abnegation are way out, Amity is too peaceful. I like Dauntless. Fun, capture the flag, weapons, it's the only place where I belong," said Sam. Dean looked at his little brother and nodded.

When the train reaches the place where the choosing ceremony is held, we all start jumping off. I stand up and jump along with Dean, and when my feet hit the ground I keep running with the rest. Man I love being in Dauntless.

We go inside and stand in order in a big room. The man at the front stands by the bowls which stand for the five factions. Water is in the Erudite bowl, stones for Abnegation, soil for Amity, coal for Dauntless, and glass for Candor. After his speech, as always, he says the dreaded words "faction before blood." We repeat it, and he starts calling up sixteen year olds to choose. I've always hated the phrase "faction before blood." I'd choose my family over my faction anytime.

~Castiel's POV~

"Gabriel Novak," The man called. Gabriel flashed me a smile and walked up to the table. He took the knife and cut his palm, and then held it over the table, looking at all of the bowls. Finally, he thrust his palm over the Dauntless coals and squeezed a drop of blood into them.

"Dauntless!" the man yelled, and the group in black clothes went into a round of cheers. Gabriel smiled at me again and then walked over to his new faction. Gabriel, Dauntless? I never thought of him as that.

"Castiel Novak!"

I jerk my head up at the table, hearing my name. I walk over and accept the knife, cutting my palm. I hold my hand over the Abnegation bowl, but don't let my blood drop yet. Do I really want to stay here? I analyze the bowls, eliminating the ones I definitely don't belong to. Then, without a second thought, I thrust my palm over the sizzling coals.

"Dauntless!"
