Prologue
It is Choosing Day, and the knife is in my hand. I looked next to me to look at my father. He gives me an expecting look. I know I want to choose Dauntless to get away from this monster, but it is a sign of being a coward and that's the opposite of what Dauntless is. I cut my hand and watch my blood drip onto the Abnegation stone. There's no turning back now.
Chapter One
It has been two years since choosing day, and I have been regretting it every day since then. But I believe if I had chosen Dauntless that day, I would have regretted it even more. Since my "father" is part of the government, I got to easily choose my job. I work at the control room and am part of the council. Today I have to go to the Prior's home to discuss government related business with my "father."
I knock on the door, and an Abnegation girl opens the door. At least I believe she's an Abnegation girl anyways. She may be plain, like all of the Abnegation, but she does have striking features. She smiles at me and lets us in. I stare at her because she seems different…somehow. Then I hear Andrew's and Natalie's steps. After we bow, Andrew says, "I see you have met my daughter, Beatrice." Beatrice and I smile at each other and I introduce myself, "I'm Tobias." We start eating our dinner, but I don't hear Beatrice talk a lot. I try to get her to speak more, but she would only give short answers.
Marcus and I have been going to the Prior's house a lot lately, and we do the same thing…until today.
Today we discuss about, of course, government business. After I left, I notice that I left my jacket at the Prior's house. I knock on the door, but nobody answers. I walk in anyways since I only just left. There, I find Tris, at least I believe it's Tris, wearing black. We only stare at each other in shock.
