Mother's Diary; A Divergent Tale

Chapter One - The Diary

Pretend. All I ever do. All I ever can do.

If I try to, to be myself...I die.

So there's no point. I can try to cover up, but I know it's just a matter of time.

I wanted to stay in Dauntless so badly, but I've heard about the fear landscapes. I'd be stupid to try anything like that.

That is why I have to be here. In Abnegation.

But I am Divergent, and there have to be others like me. But if there aren't any others out there...

I have to let future people know my story.

So this is my story.

Don't hate me for it.

I look down at the pages, now old and worn; turning yellow. The plain, black ink common in Abnegation imprints on my mind, and these are my mother's words. Her struggle, like mine, was painful. But here I am, reading the pain anyway.

I just hope I'm not mentioned, because that would be too much. Because she died, because of me.

This is her story.

This my story.

We are Divergent.
