An Unknown Awareness

Chapter One: Forget me Not

Nonviolence that is nefarious

Forbidden hunger, age is hunting

Inhumane encounters

Minutes stutter, unknown awareness

~Kylesa – Unknown Awareness~

"Ada wake up. You pick your faction today! Are you scared?" the voice was high and excited, the voice belonged to Adaline's little sister Nanalie. The sixteen-year-old rolled onto her side before pulling the pillow from over her head looking at the eight-year-old girl there, the window behind her was still pitch black making her groan out.

"Nan it's not even light out yet, you should still be asleep…" her older sister told her making the little thing pout at her. "Fine, come on." Adaline told her lifting up her blanket letting her little sister crawl into the bed next to her.

They lay there in that little bed looking at each other before Nanalie spoke up in a whisper, "Have you picked?" Adaline nodded to the girl. "So you'll be home for dinner tomorrow?"

"I'm sorry, Nan. I love you, mom, and dad but I'm not cut out for Amity. I don't belong here anymore, but I'll miss you every day." It was like a dam burst, the girl was suddenly crying into her sister's shirt and Adaline wrapped her arms around her little sister. She cuddled the girl to her hushing her softly as she gently ran her hand over the child's back trying to sooth her. She could hear the cricket chirping from the open doors behind her someplace near the other end of the building, the small door on the side she was on rarely opened; usually it was only when one of the littles came to see their older sisters. Still Nanalie was sobbing out that Adaline couldn't leave their family. "I'm sorry, Nanalie."

"No you aren't! I HATE YOU!" the girl screamed waking the other girls in the room before she broke from her sister's hold running from her slamming the smaller back door of the building making one of the girls groan out that she was still tired.

Taylor stirred on the bed next to hers and though her voice was still groggy with sleep having only woken up when Nanalie yelled, "She doesn't hate you, Ada."

"I know…" Adaline told her softly and she rolled in her bed to look towards her friend. It still hurt to have had her little sister tell her that she hated her even if she didn't. "She'll get over it eventually right?" She asked only for her friend to give a muffled ugh-huh clearly already falling back asleep and she couldn't blame her, they were up late working and doing chores and they had a long day tomorrow too, or was it technically today? She supposed it didn't really matter other than the fact that her father would be in as soon as the sun came up to wake her up.

She sat between her parents and Taylor's, her best friend was perched in the seat at the end of the row they were in. Her mother's gaze continued to flow over to her as she sat there in dead silence ignoring Janine and Marcus with their speeches about the factions. Her mother had been upset with her father at first that he'd woken their child up early to help him fix one of the Amity trucks before they left, and that made it so she didn't have time to change either. She currently had a large spot of motor oil on her right shoulder and her hands though mostly clean there were still dark smudges of used oil and grease up her arms as well as around and under her nails.

Her mother had taken the girl's hair out of her ponytail to cover the stain on her shoulder, trying to make her daughter look presentable according to her. Marcus was through with his short speech now though and was about to start calling names of the people that were to choose their factions today. Her parents knew she wouldn't be staying with them, or at the very least they had the idea that she wouldn't. The girl just wasn't Amity enough, even Taylor's parents had a feeling their daughter would be leaving them but where they had an idea that Taylor would be going to Candor Adaline's parents didn't know where she would end up.

"Adaline Fabel," Marcus called, why was she always first? Oh wait because her parents gave her the first name of Adaline, not that she blamed them… she loved her parents. She let out a sigh and stood up her blue eyes scanning over the people now looking at her waiting for her to make her way down to the floor and to the bowls. She turned moving to the end of the row before stopping in front of Taylor tears misting her eyes already, "Don't follow me Lore. I love you so don't follow me…" she told her friend quietly before she stepped into the isle before she could see the tears in her friend's eyes. She moved to the table taking one of the knives there before she sliced into her hand before holding it over the Dauntless coals letting a droplet of blood drip in sizzling. She gave the bloody knife to the man collecting them as the roar from Dauntless seemed nearly deafening to her ears, she grabbed a piece of gauze holding it over her wound as she moved to the Dauntless area standing behind the others.

She continued to watch as people picked their lives out in mere seconds, some losing their families forever, some staying for fear of losing them. Blair went to Abnegation. Charles stayed in Candor. Christopher stayed in Erudite. Dauntless kept at least one of the triplets, the girl Heather. Yet Adaline started to let her mind wonder until she heard "Taylor Bradley," from Marcus. Her head snapped up so quickly it should have caused whiplash, she watched her little blonde friend move to the bowls. She would do well in Candor; she was often times too honest for her own good.

Soon though her friend was standing next to her with the other Dauntless quieting down, Adaline looked at the girl like she had lost her mind. "Lore what are you doing? You were meant for Candor not this. What were you thinking?"

"That you would be alone, you shouldn't be alone and neither should I. I would be alone there you know I don't do well around strangers, you need me just as much as I need you." Taylor informed her making the dark haired girl shake her head with a sigh. "You can't change it now."

"I swear to you I will help you. You will not end up factionless for following me."
