A/N Yay! My very first fanfic. Some things you should now from the start, I can't spell and I have no grammar. I will do my best but if you see errors please just do your best to ignore them. I will try to update at least every three days or so but I have a busy summer with lots of vacations planned so I might not be able to. I hope you like my story and reviews are VERY appreciated.

Prologue
Tris POV
"No! Daddy please! Don't hurt me! I'm sorry!" I yell as I run into the bathroom and lock the door.
"Beatrice! Get out here this minute! You must be punished or you will never learn!" Said my father. I didn't need to see it to know he was smiling that wicked smile he always got before punishing me. All I want is for him to stop beating me. I can't live this way anymore. Susan starting noticing my bruises today. I didn't have time to meet Uriah after school yesterday. Uriah isy friend from Dauntless. He saved me when an Erudite was pushing me around in the halls. We became best friends, and I told him about my dad. Ever since, he smuggled some make-up to me after school every few weeks to conceal them.
"No Daddy please! Please don't hurt me! I just lost track of time! I was still home in before Mommy got home!" I really hope she gets here soon. My mother is the only reason my father stops beating me, because she can't know. My brother doesn't get beaten either, just me. Caleb is my father's pride and joy, but me? Never! I will never be good enough for him, never selfless enough.
Just then, the door opens downstairs and I hear my mother enter the house. Thank God she's back! My dad cusses against the door and whispers so only I can hear it, "Next time, you receive double, Beatrice." Spitting out my name like it is poison.
He then walks down the stairs. He's allready sworn to me that if I don't stay in Abnegation that he will come after me, but I can't risk that. Today was the aptitude test day. I know that technically I have five choices. My test narrowed it down to three, but I feel like I only have one. I step out of the bathroom and walk downstairs.
After dinner, I walk upstairs and am about to go to bed when something hits my window. Then it happens again, and again. Eventually I go over and see Uriaj throwing pebbles. He gives me a smile and starts to climb the tree outside mu window. I sigh, I have no choice whether he comes in or not, even though, as much as I love Uriah, I need to be alone right now.
When he geta to my window, he says, "Look Beatrice, I know you enough to know that you don't want me here right now, so I wrote down what I needed to tell you, It's important but it can wait until tomorrow if it must. Just promise me that you will read it before the ceremony tomorrow."
Wow, he knows me too well. But I find myself saying that I promise. If Uriah is being serious, than this must be insanely inportant.
He gives me the note and says goodnight. I decide to look at tonight, so I can sleep on it. I open up the small piece of paper and it only has one word on it.
Dauntless.
