hey guys, so this is my first attempt at a story on fanfiction. Please remember to leave me some constructive criticism in the reviews. I'm not letting anyone pm me until I get an email for this account.

the prologue is taken somewhat from the book, so bear with me. I will try to update on Friday or Saturday with chapter 1 and maybe 2 as well:) so without further ado...

Prologue

Beatrice P.O.V

I love you no matter what.

My mother's words sting in the back of my mind. Does she think that I am going to be a transfer?

After Tori told me yesterday that I was divergent she sent me home. I was really confused because she seemed almost..scared. She told me that I "must hide where no one would find me." She said it in such a low whisper that I could barely here her.

I have so many questions, but I can't ask anyone. I don't know who to trust. All I know is that I have an aptitude for three factions: Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite.

When my family and I are standing outside of the hub, I see them. The Dauntless. They jump off of the moving train with ease, that could be me. I used to watch them all the time, but I always was chastised for it. Abnegation is such a boring life. It has no freedom, because that would be considered self indulgent.

I really want to be free, but I don't want to leave behind my family. Faction before blood. if I leave them, then I will have to try to become unattached from them, but I just can't do it. I'm not the perfect abnegation but I can make it work. I am brave and selfless.

My dad will be a target for the erudite just like Marcus if I go to dauntless. Marcus' son switched to dauntless and the erudite accused him of beating his son! They come up with the most absurd things. There's no way he would do such a thing.

"Beatrice." It's my brother."Beatrice, are you okay?" "Of course, why?" He must've caught me staring at the dauntless.

My dad hugs me tightly, like it's our last hug. What if it is? Then he hugs Caleb,'see you soon.' He has absolute certainty that Caleb is going to choose dauntless over all else. My mom hugs me and smiles. 'I love you Beatrice.' She does the same with Caleb.

Caleb and I watch our parents as they walk away. We all get into alphabetical order and I sit in between an amity girl and Caleb. I sit and I wait staring at the bowls that represent each faction.

I can choose any faction. I have three viable options; when I cut my hand my blood can poor over water, burning coals, or grey stones. My dad really hates erudite, so that one is definitely out. So, that leaves two options. Only two options...am I brave or am I selfless?

please remember to review! Constructive criticism. :)
