Aideen POV(Age 11) ( Tris's initiation is happening now.)

"Aideen! We need to get to the lab" my brother calls. James is 17 and today we begin testing dauntless serums together. He took this job and was able to choose his own test subject!I have to admit I was rather afraid, but I have to take this risk to be unselfish. I pull my hair in to a quick bun and follow my brother out the door. He asked me if I wanted to ride the bus, but he usually walks so I told him I didn't want to inconvenience him and could walk along with him. I try to avoid conflict and inconvenience as few people as possible.

"De, how is school going.? I hear you are quite the little scholar." My brother says

"Fine," I reply quietly. "How is your work going?"

"Great. I have tested so many serums and I can' t wait to show you all the work I've been doing!" He states excitedly. He is such an Erudite. I guess I am too, but I can't be to curious, that would be selfish.

We reach his office in the Erudite headquarters and after he grabs his notebooks we head to his laboratory. I kep my head straight forward only inspecting what I can see right in front of me. James calls this my stiffudite habit because I am curious, but not excessively. I also try to hide it so it doesn't seem so selfish. I agree with him and have told him so. I hate being deceitful with anything. Also, when I lie I have so many tells it's not even funny.

"Here we are! Sit down there and we can start. I am going to inject you with the Dauntless serum that feeds on fear and you will experience a fear of yours." James is so excited even as he injects me.

"Be brave, as the Dauntless say." is the last thing I hear.

I wake up in the simulation and look around. I am alone, my fear is loneliness, but I am not alone, James is here and this is all fake. I can wake up when I want and I want to now.

I wake up in the chair and James hands me a vial and tells me to drink it. I do and I slip into another simulation.

I am presented with a knife and cheese and a voice tells me "Choose." I do not and simply turn around. The voice says more firmly, "Choose." But, I am in a simulation and I can wake up now.

I wake up to James racing around the room repeating the word no over and over. He sits at his computer and begins frantically typing.

"James?" I say allowing myself to be curious just this once. "James?!" I say again as he runs his hand through his hair.

"No!" He screams and he looks straight at me. "De," he says using his nickname for me, "You are Divergent. That second test was an unauthorized aptitude test. You are divergent five ways which means you have an aptitude for every single faction. Only Divergents like you can break themselves out of the aptitude test. You need to run. I know they are already coming for you!" Just then we hear a knock at the door and James hesitantly walks to open it. There stands the head of Erudite herself, Jeanine Matthews, and two dauntless with guns.

"Run Aideen, Run!" My brother shouts as the Dauntless open fire on the room. I grab my bag and run through the back door. The last thing I see before running out the door is my James's limp body bleeding out onto the floor.

When I get home I pack all my clothes (I don't have very many) and my books (I have a lot). I rush out the door running to the factionless in a pure panic. I reach the slums out of breath. I run straight into another woman.

"Woah honey. Where's the fire?" She says. Her kind eyes peering down at me.

"I-well-I." I stutter and then begin crying silently.

"Hey. Its okay. Let me take you home with me. I'm Evelyn Johnson by the way."

A.N. Hey this is my first fanfic, so please review. I will try to update soon.
