I am the only one. The only one who remembers their past. The only one who entered The Maze via own free will. Well, at least, sort of by my own will. I originate from the Abnegation faction. Within my home city(the city contains of five factions; Candor, the honest, Dauntless, the brave, Amity, the kind and peaceful, Erudite, the knowledge craving people and Abnegation, who value selflessness), a war occurred a long time ago, everyone says it was terrible. I have only learnt about it in faction history class at school. But even then I didn't pay attention.
Abnegation is a dull, boring faction to live in, but once you've spent your whole life there, it's quite hard to let their rules go. For my brother, he's a natural, he will fit into any faction and the leaders will adore him! For me, I know my place -Dauntless- but Abnegation value's still take over my life from time to time... plus, none of the leaders in Dauntless like me, partly because I took their best fighter away from his training (Tobias) as I was having bad family problems. The problems were only mine, though, as Tobias was in his own faction as he is 18 and I am only 15. Therefore I am still in Abnegation, but he left, to go to Dauntless.
The night before I was transferred into the maze, my father was harming me and my brother, Tobias. Tobias punched Marcus (our father, we call him by his first name as he doesn't act at all like our dad) and Marcus (given that he is the leader of the city) had power to banish Tobias into The Maze, where no one has ever survived. But considering that I had been brought up in Abnegation, my selfless values kicked in. I volunteered to take my only true relatives punishment as my own.
"You never did anything wrong, Megan", Marcus accused me. He was determined to make sure Tobias got his punishment but unless I stepped down Marcus would never get his wish until the next time Tobias did something wrong - so much as step a toe out of line.
"And neither did the boy you call your son!" I shouted back. I was no longer afraid, but angry. Angry that Tobias and I are the only children he has and will ever have, yet he pretty much wants us dead! I had decided that I would not step down, no matter what the consequence would be.
"Fine, then we shall have it your way", he spat at me. "You enter the glade tomorrow, as I am such a good, understandable father, I will not make you enter the maze immediately, but trust me, at some point you will", and that was the last time I can remember speaking to Marcus.
So right now, I am just waiting. Waiting for my sudden departure into the maze (currently I am in the glade but no one talks to me... apparently it's because I'm a girl). Waiting for death to swallow me up. I keep hoping that I can survive and make it back to the city, but everyone knows that can't happen! So for now, I will just have to wait.
