Hi! You must be wondering who I am. My name is Gabrielle "Gab" Eaton, younger sister of the legendary Tobias "Four" Eaton. I am currently 16 years old (three years younger than Tobias) and today is the "Choosing Ceremony", in my aptitude test I got Dauntless, Erudite and Candor, meaning I'm Divergent. Please don't tell anyone about my divergency or I'll become extinct very soon.
I have light auburn hair and green eyes. I'm not planning on staying in Abnegation because it's not me, I'm not the "perfect" selfless person, instead I'll choose Dauntless because of two reasons: One.- I get to see my brother, Two.- I belong there, being brave and free. Also I what to meet my brother's girlfriend Tris and be a pain in their life all day being all like "Awww you guys are ADORABLE, no questions asked" amd stuff like that.
Well back to the ceremonial torture. Abnegations have to wear gray… Not my style, and a dress… :-/. Of course I'm not planning on going with the dress and no pants or shorts. I'll take my black skinny jeans and my black tank top in a backpack. I'll change the Abnegation clothes for the Dauntless ones after I choose factions.
The ceremony is taking place in Amity. I zoom out for most of it until I hear my name being called. I walk up the stage, take the knife out of the woman's hand (I don't know her name, I was zoomed out, remember?) I cut the palm of my hand and walk to the Dauntless pedestal, it was black, with a bunch of burning coal pieces, I let some of my blood to drip and it shouts out "Dauntless", I walk to where my new faction is sitting and I request to go to the restroom, where I change into my Dauntless clothes and leave behind my Abnegation clothing and backpack. When I go out I find my way to the Dauntless and sit on the floor alone, playing with my phone until a girl walks up to me and says:
"Hi, my name is Selene, I'm a transfer from Amity. And you are?"
"I'm Gab, transfer from Abnegation" I answer, thinking "New faction, New name"
"Can I sit here?" Selene asks.
"Sure" I say "How is life in Amity?" I ask her, thing I then regret because Selene keeps on describing life as an Amity until the end of the ceremony, when a Dauntless official member shouts "Catch the train or become factionless". Selene and I run as fast as we can to make sure we catch the train on time, then we realize we have to jump, I notice Selene is quite nervous and I say "Together?" she only nods, I grab her hand and we jump, landing not so gracefully on the compartment. After some time we get called by a girl saying "We have to jump!" I could notice panic in her voice. Selene and I jump and land on a roof, where there are some people waiting for us. When all the initiates jumped I hear the girl say "Welcome to Dauntless, my name is Tris, and to become real Dauntless initiates you have to go down, and there are no stairs." The nervous girl from before shouts "Do you want us to jump?Are you insane?" Tris answers "To both yes, now who wants to be the first jumper?" After some hesitation seconds I walk 2 steps back, run to get impulse and jump. It feels wonderful to jump, you feel freedom through your veins. It's amazing. I'm back in reality when I crashed into something, a net. I help myself with the net to get to the edge where there's a handsome tall guy with chocolate brown eyes waiting for me to reach and asks me "What's your name beautiful?" I start blushing and answer "My name is Gab", then he shouts "First jumper: Gab" and tells me "welcome to Dauntless 'Gab'".
That's the first chapter, if you like it let me know, if you don't like it let me know. Tell me what can I improve. Btw "Gab" isn't a crazy nickname, it's just short for "Gabrielle" in my opinion. :)
