This is my first fan fiction so no hate. Reviews would be appreciated. Thanks J
Chapter 1
Rosalind's POV
It's pitch black. "Come forward," a voice says.
I walk forward hesitantly towards the voice. A table awaits me in the distance. Upon the table is a basket of cheese and a knife.
I take a particular interest in the knife. I've seen this kind of knife before. it's the same kind of knife they use at the choosing ceremony, the knife they use to cut their hand.
"Pick one." I jump at the sound of the voice, looking around for where it came from. Pick one?
I look back to the table and glance at the cheese. It's the same type my sister and I use to make cheese buns.
I turn my head to the knife. I want it. I want to feel the weight of it in my hand, to feel the grip of the knife. My hand shoots forward and takes the knife. I look at it closely and immediately notice how sharp it is. This is definitely not a kitchen knife.
I look up from studying the knife to find that the table has been replaced by a growling dog. Its teeth are bared and its angry. What did I do? The dog begins to bark and charges at me.
Clearly surprised I take the knife and swing at the knife trying to defend myself. The dog backs off and begins to whimper. "I'm so sorry doggy!" I drop the knife. "I didn't mean it!" I walk towards the dog cautiously. Big mistake. The dog jumps at me and begins to attack me. I feel its teeth begin to bite at my back, the claws scratching wherever they hit. I begin to cry.
"Please! Please stop!" But the dog ignores me and continues to attack. I sob and curl into a ball.
"Please…"
*End of dream*
I force my eyes open and the tears begin to fall. It's the worst nightmare so far. I notice that during this nightmare that I've become cold and shaky. I wrap blanket around me tightly and continue to sob.
I assume that my cries are loud because my twin sister Danielle walks into my room. She takes a seat at the foot of my bed. She doesn't say anything for a while. All we can hear are my sobs.
"What's wrong?" she asks. I tell her everything that happened in my dream with detail. At the end of my re tell I've started to sob again. She moves beside me and hugs me, wiping away my tears. "The aptitude tests will be nothing like that. They're different this year" she reminds me. "Go to sleep okay? You need a lot of rest for the tests." I nod. She smiles and wishes me a good night before exiting my room and closing the door behind her.
I lie in bed thinking about the possibilities.
Will I stay in Amity with my family? Will I go to Erudite? Candor? Abnegation? Dauntless?
I know for sure that I won't be going to Erudite. I've always disliked their know-it-all attitudes. Definitely not Candor. I lie. Way too much. I could never be Abnegation. I can't be selfless. I love doing things for my own entertainment. I could be Dauntless though. I'm pretty daring if I might say so myself.
I shouldn't be thinking about this though. The tests will determine where I go.
I sigh and cover my face with the blanket. I guess I'll figure out tomorrow. I close my eyes and fall into a dreamless sleep.
