So i decided to rewrite the first chapter. After reading the first two reviews I realized how hard it was for people to read what I had wrote. Also after making it easier to read I decided that I wanted to change just a few things in the story that happened in chapter one. I hope you enjoy and I hope this makes it a lot easier to read.

My name is or was Cassandra starling and this is my story. The day my life started was about a year ago when I climbed up the tree in my back yard twisting and turning until i reached the top. Once there i was able to see all off the amity farms and houses. I sighed thinking about how i would miss being here. I was always to adventurous to stay in amity I just didn't know exactly what i would choose to do when the time came at the choosing ceremony today. The day before that I got news that would shocked me to say the least so let's start there

** one day earlier**

I was sitting with my friends laughing at Selina's jokes as usual when a women dressed in all grey called me back to take my test. The abnegation always were in charge of the test that would determine where you belong even if it was the dauntless actually giving the test to everyone but to those in their faction. The lady walked me to a room and motioned me inside. She pointed to the chair and told me to get comfortable that the person giving me my test would be in shortly.

I walked over to the chair and just as I was sitting down a man clad in all black walked in "Sorry for being late, long night." I smiled as the man walked to the other side of the chair. " it's quiet all right I just got here anyways" the man smiled and opened up the suitcase that was sitting on a desk and pulled out a vial of clear looking liquid. He poured it in a cup with some more liquid. I must have looked puzzled " it's just a serum you have to mix it right before you take it otherwise your results could be inconclusive." He told me smiling nodding I took the cup he was handing me "down the hatch" I said smiling. As soon as I finished the cup i could feel my eyelids getting heavy and as soon as I closed them I was in a open field.

Confused I looked around were I noticed a girl crying walking over to her I could see she was hurt. " what's wrong, what happened. " She looked at me tears falling down her face "you have to choose first" confused I looked up and there were two tables much like the ones in amity, one had a piece of meat on it, the other had a knife. I grabbed the knife I figured if the girl was hurt something caused it.

Instantly thee tables disappeared and I heard the growl. Slowly turning I could see a dog slowly moving towards the girl. The moment I saw it I ta to get in front of the girl to protect her and the dog started running towards us. Without even thinking I threw the knife and it landed straight in the dogs throat. All of the sudden the little girl started crying even more.

" what's wrong" the girl looked mad. " why did you kill him. That was my puppy. He was protecting me from a evil man." Even more confused now than before. " I didn't mean two I thought he was going to hurt you." Instantly the girl changed in the blink of an eye and in her place stood a full grown man with a weird smirk on his face. I looked around and I saw the girl hiding in the distance with a finger pressed her mouth.

Everything in me screamed to run so I did just that. Not knowing exactly were I ran towards some woods. I could hear the man laughing "imam get you" eventually I made it through the woods and I could see a house. Running as fast as I could I made it takes bother house and shut the door just as he was coming out of the woods.

I shut the door and tried to lock it but like most amity houses their was no lock. Shouting in frustration I ran to the kitchen. Sitting on the counter was another knife. I grabbed it just as the man barged through the door. " there you are. Have you seen a little girl around here." Shaking my head I knew I was lying but I didn't care the girl said the dog was protecting her from a man so this must be him. Plus she wanted me to stay quiet.

Now I know your lying why don't you just tell me." I looked at him disgusted and shook my head. He slowly starting coming towards me. "Just stay back stay away from me." He slowly smiled. It was the most cruelest smile I've ever seen."I won't hurt you... To much now come here, unless you wanna tell me where you saw that little girl." I got ready as he came closer as soon as I thought he was close enough I stabbed him with out even thinking right in the heart. Instantly I was back in the test room.

The tester looked at m funny and I was shaking as he spoke. " well that was very different from normal." Confused I looked at him " what do you mean by that." well most people's simulations are not like that to just put it plainly. Also you tested for three factions which is odd. Amity, Erudite, and dauntless they are generally polar opposites. Anyways I've input your test results as dauntless since you got that one the most. " ow I was really confused."What do you mean that I got it more than once."

"Well you killed both the dog ad the man which are signs for dauntless, you cared about the little girl a lot which showed your amity, and through out it you never stopped thinking and trying to figure things out which would be Erudite. You must tell no one anything else it will get you killed. People high up do not like it when someone doesn't fit into just one category. I thought by now that wouldn't matter anymore but it still does."

I tried to remain calm but I couldn't. " wait... What... Why?" " honestly I do not know why this happens or anything just look if you decide to come to dauntless, which by the way would be best since a lot of people would be able to protect you once you become a member, go talk to me my sister tori she works in a tattoo shop their she can help you ok." I nodded my head as I slowly got off and headed out the door stunned.

**next day**

Sighing one more time in looked around amity knowing that this would be good bye. The rest of the day was a haze. She had informed her parents and siblings when she got home of her choice. Even though she knew they were sad they didn't show it which was the amity way. Her parents and siblings decided to support her choice even though she was the first in her family to decide to leave they all said she was just a little to wild for amity even to the point she needed to take the peace serum every once in a while. I shuddered remembering all those times. Next thing I knew we were in the ceremony room.

There were five bowls on the stage one for each faction. I already knew I would be choosing the bowl with the burning coals for dauntless. Since my last name was starling I was one of the last to be called. This year no one transferred out of abnegation which was different. Two people transferred from amity to abnegation and one person transferred from amity to erudite. Three dauntless transferred to amity which shocked everyone. Four people from candor transferred to dauntless as well as three erudite each getting a rowdy welcome from them, all of the sudden it was my turn. I walked up to the stage looking at the bowls I already knew what I was going to choose. Taking the knife I slide it across my hand a little hard r than I meant to I quickly put my hand over the hot coals and watched as my blood turned to steam on the hot coals. The dauntless roared like with the rest I was the eighth transfer so far this year.

Only two more people went both were dauntless choosing dauntless. Next thing I know all the dauntless are running out of the building yelling and hollering. Without hesitation I followed laughing the entire way. We ran all the way to the railway lines, I looked up in awe. One of the dauntless born must have taken my look for being scared."don't be scared little sunflower" laughing at me. I shot him a glare and started to climb faster than most of even the dauntless born even. I Looked down right as I reached the top of the railway " who's a scared little sunflower now" and pulled my self onto the landing.

Soon I was joined by the rest of the group the guy who called me a sunflower kept glaring at me for showing him up. Soon everyone turned to see a train coming. Everyone started running to get ready to jump on the train. Laughing I followed suit. I easily got on the train a little to hard though cause I slammed into the otherwise laughing. We pass building after building I watch them from the car door fascinated. I have never felt as free as I did just now.
