1. Chapter 1

Hey guys, this is my first fanfic so I'm just trying stuff out here. Feel free to write whatever your thoughts are on the story in a review.

I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock. I lie silently in my bed for a few seconds before I realise what today is- the choosing ceremony. I reluctantly get out of bed and pull on my Abnegation grey shirt and pants, a sick feeling in my stomach. I walk into the dining room and have breakfast with Mum and Dad.

After we arrive at the colossal building used to host the Choosing Ceremony, we take a seat in the Abnegation section of the seating area. I'm still not sure which faction I should choose. Although my aptitude test said I was Abnegation, I'm not sure I could stand staying in Abnegation for the rest of my life. But then again, I can't imagine not seeing my parents everyday. Mum has always told me that it doesn't matter what faction I choose and whether I stay in Abnegation or not but I think it does matter to her. That's what makes this decision so difficult. Should I stay with my family or should I go to the faction that I believe I suit best. The ceremony's start is only minutes away and I still have not made a choice. Abnegation I think I'll choose Abnegation and keep my parents happy. I try to convince myself that that's what I really want but I know that isn't true. I can't be truly Abnegation even if I tried, I want to be Dauntless.

The ceremony starts and before I know it, the leader of Abnegation, Marcus, is calling out people's names. As the names echo around in my head I am still pondering whether I should go Dauntless or Abnegation. Suddenly, Marcus's voice snaps me out of my trance as he calls my name.

"Amanda Roberts" I look back at my Mum and Dad one more time before leaving my chair and walking up to the table. The bowls are in front of me, the Erudite, Amity, Candor, Abnegation and Dauntless. I look at the Abnegation bowl and the Dauntless bowl and it is then that I finally make my decision. I will never be selfless, it's just not my nature. But I do have a chance, even if it is small, to be brave. Sorry Mum I think Sorry Dad. Shivering, I pick up the long thin knife and pierce the skin on my hand with it, creating a long cut. I then hold my hand over the Dauntless bowl and watch as a single drop of my blood sizzles on the hot coal before disappearing. From behind me, I can hear cheers coming from the Dauntless part of the seating area and I go and meet them there as Marcus calls out "Dauntless.". When I walk back I take one more glance at my mother who is in a state of despair as my Dad attempts to comfort her. I guess I was right, it really does matter to her.

It isn't long before the faction leaders dismiss the factions to go to their current homes. When the Dauntless leave, it is in a rowdy and loud fashion; Dauntless jumping down stairs and shouting to their friends through the bustle. We create such a contrast next to the Erudite, who leave in an orderly and sensible way. The Dauntless rush outside onto the footpath and run up to a huge structure that leads up to a railway for trains. Dauntless- born initiates immediately start climbing the structure up towards the railway while transfers stand back, unsure of what to do. Eventually the tranfers start to climb up to the railway and soon all the Dauntless are standing on a thin slab of pavement that stands before the train track. Catching my breath, I start to wonder if I made a mistake choosing Dauntless, I can barely keep up with them now so how am I supposed to be one for the rest of my life? I quickly dismiss this thought, though, when I see the Dauntless looking at the railway. I follow their stare to see a train coming toward us at full speed. They start running forward and I then realise that we need to jump on. I start running as fast as I can but I'm falling behind rapidly. All around me Dauntless are leaping up onto the train and pulling themselves inside and I'm only just keeping up with the train. I push myself to run faster but it's just not working. The slab of pavement has nearly finished and I'm about to run off of it if I don't stop, but I keep persisting until I have only one last step before the slab stops. I take a deep breath and then leap as far as I can. Miraculously, my feet find the foot hold and I pull myself inside just as the pavement stops. Panting, I sit down on the train's floor and think of my old home and its simple ways. Abnegation would never even dream of doing something as dangerous as this and hear I am, jumping onto trains. This is crazy I think I should have just gone with Abnegation, I'm never going to make it as a Dauntless.

I am sitting down for only a few more minutes before I start to see initiates standing up and the doors of the train opening.
"Oh my gosh! They're going to jump!" I hear a scared transfer gasp. I look again at the Dauntless-born initiates and see that that transfer was right. They were getting ready to jump. Then the realisation hits me; that means that I need to jump too.

So there is my first chapter. Whaddya think?
