Beatrice POV
As I sit at our table, Susan across from me, Caleb next to me, my knees shake as I wait for my test. I am terrified of the result I will receive, and of how the test will be. As we are not permitted to prepare, I know nothing of how it will be conducted, and the subjects that will be covered. Should I have payed more attention in my Faction History class? Was it wrong of me to have enjoyed looking in the mirror when my mother was cutting my hair? I clench my hands tightly, so that Caleb will not see them trembling.
As we wait, the door of one of the testing rooms slams open, silencing the hall immediately. It is one at the end, which had been barriered off for years. Many rumours had circulated as to what lay inside this room but it is now clear. A large fearsome looking figure storms out the room, surging through the barriers. They were small and could in no way stand up to the force of him cannoning out of the doorway. I cannot see much of his body because, as he scans the room, the only thing I can see are his eyes. They instantly draw attention from everything else and overpower the room. They are deep and restless, and tell me instantly that whatever had been happening in that supposedly abandoned testing room, had scarred him. A grey clothed Abnegation assessor follows him, but he continues forward with an unstoppable force for the fire exit. The doors slam open, letting in a cool draft. The assessor, and two Erudite men and a large Candor woman follow out hurriedly.
As the doors close again, a murmur rises in the hall, but i am not part of it. My eyes are transfixed to the situation out the window as the boy, who must be about my age, forces a crowbar under the hood of a government truck. The boy points and shouts at the assessor and the engine bay of the truck, but is soon restrained by the large Candor woman. He continued to shout as he is dragged out of my view. I have forgotten completely about my upcoming test as I continue to stare blankly outside.
I still remember the determination and power of those deep psychotic eyes. I shall never be able to forget those and they shall haunt me for life.
