Disclaimer: I do not own Divergent.
As I make my way up the stairs, I pull on my dress, and tuck my hair behind my ears. I have questions rushing through my mind. Do I stay with my parents? Do I choose what I want? Do I choose safety or freedom? Before I know it, I am standing in front of the faction bowls. I wipe my hands down my thighs to get the sweat off of them. I pick up the knife in my right hand and try to breathe evenly. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Marcus staring at me. Seeing him reminds me of this son that defected to another faction. Was there something that drove him away or did he just choose to leave? I push all the thoughts and questions out of my head and make a small cut on the palm of my left hand. Sitting the knife down, I think back to my aptitude test. My results gave me three options to choose from; Erudite, Dauntless, and Abnegation. I knew that Erudite was definitely not going to be my choice. I just have to decide if I am selfless enough to be in Abnegation or brave enough for Dauntless. My head is spinning; I don't know what to do. Then I remember what Caleb said, I have to think of myself. That is what he did by choosing Erudite. He was selfish, but can I be selfish too? My blood is running down my hand and is about to fall. I want to be happy. I want to be free. I thrust my hand over just as the drop of blood falls. The sizzling and cracking sound fills my ears. I am selfish. I am free. I am Dauntless.
Please leave comments! They keep me motivated! I will take all reviews into consideration as I move forward with this story. Thanks for reading!
