Yay, I have come up with a new story! I came up with this today and wanted to get it up as soon as possible. I have many more story ideas in mind so be prepared. But yeah on with the story and I own zip except for my gorgeous copy of Four by Veronica Roth.
Chapter 1- Aptitude test
Emma's POV-
I am Emma Mathews, niece of Jeanine Mathews, representative of Erudite. I know being the niece of such an important person must be nice, but its not really. I mean my room is a lot nicer than some of the other Erudite rooms, and I get a ton more free books to read, but there also is a downside to it. All of the 'friends' that I have just are friends with me because I'm Jeanine's niece and must be respected. I've basically lived the majority of my life alone, because my parents are important scientists, and its hard for them to make time for me. All of my so called friends aren't really friends or there for me. Well, except for Haley. Haley is a year younger than me, but was moved up into higher classes therefore she will choose this year. We have recently become close and are inseparable ever since, she is like my other half. I'm just nervous we won't pick the same faction, and then I would be alone again.
Today is the day I will take my aptitude test, which will tell me what faction I truly belong in. Todaywill be the day that my future is decided. I'm not nervous. Yet I am. The test doesn't scare me, or what faction I have an aptitude for, the part that scares me is that this decides my whole future everything that will happen to me in the future is all determined by today. I get dressed into a white button down shirt, black pants and a dark blue jacket over them. I grab my glasses from my desk, not because I need them, but because I was told to wear them by my aunt. She told me they make me look more sophisticated and smarter. I don't really care.
*TIME SKIP*
I walk into the cafeteria nervous and jittery, but I don't show it. I look calm, ready, and perfectly poised. I sit down with Monica, Haley, Travis, and Evan. We sit there quiet until Evan brings up the issues and rumors about Abnegation. "Did you know that a few years ago Marcus Eaton's son Tobias left Abnegation, and joined Dauntless because he was beaten by his father." He says, waiting for one of us to say something back. No one says anything for a few seconds which is unusual. Then he says, " You do know that all of the abnegation are probably saving half of the food that they are suppose to be giving to the factionless." he keeps saying lies and more crap about Abnegation, while everyone else nods their heads agreeing with what he says, except me. I've been putting up with it until I can't stand it anymore and surprisingly say. " I know he left but that doesn't mean he left for that reason maybe he actually belongs in Dauntless, and the rest of the rumors and lies. I have seen the Abnegation from my window giving the factionless food by the way, so please shut up all you're saying, is lies, rumors, and pure bowl shit!" I finish realizing now that I had stood up and was yelling and that everyone was looking at me. Then I turn around and walk out of the room fueled by anger and annoyance. If I would have stayed in their any longer I would've probably hurt someone. I hear footsteps behind me and see Haley walking in a fast past behind me, still trying to look professional.
What do you want?" I ask her.
" I came to find you, Em. I didn't know you felt that way, you seemed pretty upset. I mean, we're best friends you can tell me anything, okay. Remember that." She says.
"Okay." I say.
That's when our names are announced over the intercom. " Emma Mathews, and Haley Lancer" It says and then is silent. I gulp, and we turn to walk into the doors again. As we walk in and head towards the door, everyone is silent and is staring at me. I ignore it though and just breath. I walk into room 4E and sit down, a young Abnegation lady walks in and says relax. I do and lay back.
"My name is Natalie Prior, don't be nervous you'll do fine." She says. She then hands me a glass of clear liquid and says"Drink it."
"What's in it?" I ask curious as I hold the clear liquid in my hand.
"Don't worry about that just drink." She says sweetly, and this time I do. It tastes like sweetened water, and tickles my throat on the way down. I lay back in the chair and am suddenly pulled into darkness.
I open my eyes and am in a room of mirrors before me lays a piece of cheese and a knife. "Choose." A voice says. Why? Why do I need to choose? "Fine." I say, and look at the options before me. I put my hand down and hover it over the knife. Then I get an idea, I grab the cheese with one hand and the knife with the other. I laugh, this can't be this easy. Then a dog is a few feet in front of me, and I can't kill it so I knell down, like I learned in class if I was in a situation like this. Then the dog is front of me and liking my face, I smile and pet it. A little girl appears out of nowhere and says puppy. The dog gets up and turns to the little girl ready to attack. Oh shit you have got to be kidding me. The dog is now chasing the little girl and I know I won't be fast enough, if only there was glass between the so the girl would be safe. All of a sudden there is and the scene disapears.
I am now on a train and a man is asking me if I have seen a person on the newspaper, the person looks familiar, but I lie and say I don't know him. "You could save my life." The man says. "I don't know the man," I lie again, and the scene changes and I'm back in the testing room.
Natalie looks at me and gives me a look to go along with what she's about to do. "Your results are Erudite as expected," she says. I realize there is a camera in the room. That's great." I say. "Here, I'll walk you out," she says, and leads me to the back door.
Once we are out of sight, I ask "What's going on? What was my result?"
"Your result was Erudite, and Amity, and Dauntless, they call it Divergent." She says. You need to make sure you tell no one about your test results ever, you could be Divergent is dangerous."
"I don't but that's impossible." I say rethinking everything.
"No it's not, just very rare." She says. And then adds," You need to go. Good luck Emma."
I walk home, and surprisingly find my parents there. "I didn't know you were going to be home." I say stunned, the never come home. "Well we were able to come see you for a little while before tomorrow." My dad says. I hug them both, "Whatever you choose tomorrow, always know we love you Emma." My mom says, and I know they are both expecting me to stay. "I'm tired, I should go to bed." I say
"Okay goodnight, Emma." They both say, and I head upstairs unsure on which faction I will choose tomorrow.
Erudite.
Amity.
Dauntless.
Divergent.
Well that's the end of chapter 1 and I'm excited, I know where I want to go with this and would so keep working but it's kind off 12:30 and I'm tired. But yeah comment and let me know what you guys think so far. Also a chapter of my other fanfic What if Tris didn't join Dauntless will be up in the next few days. So yeah bye- Emma
