A/N: Hey, lovely readers! Here's what I thought of as a new twist for Divergent. In this story, some of the main parts are switched (hence the name). Tris is 16 and chooses first before Four/Tobias does (he will 2 years after she does and Tris is his initiation instructor versus the other way around) Some of the details in the original story will stay the same while others may be changed or omitted. I don't own Divergent or its characters. This chapter and some of the others that follow deal with child abuse and/or rape, Tris' parents are more like Four's and vice versa. I'm looking for a beta on this story/ ideas and suggestions if anyone is interested. Enjoy!

I sit anxiously waiting near my brother as we are to take the aptitude tests today. I'm 16 and this is the year that I am to choose a faction. My father, Andrew, coached me on exactly what to do in the test to get a result of Abnegation since I might be divergent like him. I like Abnegation but I have never felt like I fit in here. I need to leave. I know it but I don't know where that might be yet. I chew on my fingernails as I contemplate this. My name is called and I am ushered into a room for the test.

I drink the clear vial of liquid that the woman, Tori, gives to me. I decide against following my father's advice as I want to make my own choices and find my own path, where I belong. I awake from the simulation startled as Tori excuses herself for a moment. I don't know what this means and I sit anxiously awaiting the results.

I am not surprised when she tells me I am divergent but I am when she tells me that I have aptitude for three factions: Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite. The test was supposed to tell me so I could make the decision easily but it doesn't work on someone who is divergent. Tori releaser me and I walk home alone to think.

I decide to go home since it is quiet and I am lost in thought. I don't want to stay in Abnegation anymore, I know that much. My mother died when I was small and my father has been cruel towards me ever since. I am not smart enough to join the Erudite, too adventurous for Amity and I have too many secrets I would never tell for Candor. Dauntless seems my only option then. They are brave, they are free and that is what I want.

My thoughts are interrupted by my father's arrival home. I can't let him know what I am thinking, I must hide it. "How did the aptitude test go?" he asks me and I answer unconvincingly that it was fine. "Did you do what I told you to get the Abnegation result?" he asks as he raises an eyebrow. I nod slowly but I can already tell it's too late. He knows I'm lying.

"You're lying, I know it! What have I told you about lying?!" he screams in my face. "Liars can't be trusted." I respond quietly. I hold my breath as I know what's coming next, he takes off his belt and orders me to squat as he yells "This is for your own good!" and the belt smacks against my back.

When he's finished, I hold back the tears from the pain and apologize. "You don't mean that! Since it's the last day before you choose and live in this house, maybe we should do something else too. I'm going to miss my little Beatrice." he snarls as he approaches my face and forces me to kiss him as he begins to remove his clothes and drags me into his bedroom. God, no. Please no. No, no, no!

He pins me against the bed so that I cannot move and forces himself inside me as I cry. "Stop crying bitch!" he says as he slaps me across the face. We stay like this for what feels like forever until Caleb arrives and he is forced to stop so that Caleb doesn't know what's going on. Caleb has never had to endure what I have nor have I ever told him.

I help Caleb prepare dinner as I fear my father further hurting me if I don't. The only thought that surfaces is that I can't keep living this way and I have to get out. Our father excuses us after dinner to think about tomorrow and the thought of escaping leaves me almost giddy. I spend the night in my room and awake the next morning to go to the ceremony.

I'm going to betray my father, my brother and my faction with my choice but I cannot stay any longer. My father is hosting the ceremony this year which makes the whole thing even more awful. Caleb chooses before me, cutting with the knife into his hand and holding his palm over the bowl of clear water that represents Erudite. I feel anxious having seen Caleb leave and knowing what I am going to do.

My father calls my name and I cut into my palm, causing my blood to sizzle over the coals. I join the Dauntless and see a look at betrayal and contempt in his eyes but I am brave. I am free.

Once the ceremony is over, I follow the Dauntless as they run down the stairs. I've never really had the opportunity to run but I like it, the wild energy it fills me with. We reach the train and I try to jump on as I have watched them do a million times but I end up failing right on my face as I do.

I rise quickly as an Erudite buy in blue laughs. "Don't know how to jump Stiff? Aren't you afraid Dauntless might be a little too much for you?" he teases and I think I heard that his name is Eric. He has a menacing grin and a smile that sends shivers up my spine.

When we reach what I judge to be Dauntless headquarters, I jump onto the roof as a man named Amar tells everyone they must jump off the roof to enter. A cold sweat runs through me as I jump last, letting everyone else go first. I feel my body fly through the air until I hit something- a net. Amar grabs my hand and helps me pull myself up off the net.

"What's your name, Stiff?" he asks and I think for a moment before I respond with "Tris." He ushers me inside as I see that there are only eight transfers including me. I gulp. I hope that I didn't make the wrong choice.
