I stand in front of the window trying to see my reflection. In abnegation they belive you should not look at your self in a mirror, because it's a since of selfishness and vanity. If I were to describe myself I would say I'm very skinny with pale skin, blue eyes, and blond hair. I slip on my baggy gray clothes and shirt while trying to style my hair in a tight bun the way my mom should I say the way my mom would have if she were still alive. No one knows what happened to her. One day she was here and the next...she wasn't. My mother wouldn't want me to morn for her today anyway because today is choosing day. Today i choose the rest of my life.
I think of this as I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen. I quickly cook some eggs and pour myself a glass of milk. I sit down at the small dinning table by a window. Caleb comes running down the stairs with a terrified look on his face, and i know exactly why. I hurry up and put the dishes in the and I both stand with our heads down waiting by the door. Our dad marches down the stairs grumbling as usual. he stands in front of us.
" May i ask why are you up so late?" He chides. I glance at the wall clock from the corner of my eye. It's only 6:30, we don't have to be at school tell eight. He pushes Caleb hard. Caleb stumbles back toward the door.
"but it's only 6:30" Caleb stammers.
"Well what do you know...I guess you better make it to school by 6:40 then" Our father says. At that Caleb opens the door and runs outside trying to make it to school with an impossible deadline. my dad turns to face me. Ever since mom disappeared our father has turned abusive.
" And you..." he says jabbing a finger into my chest. I stumble back a little.
" why didn't you wake your brother" he says accusingly. i open my mouth to respond but he doesn't let me answer. he takes his belt off in one swift movement and slashes it down my face. My eyes tear up and I fall to the floor. He pulls back for another strike and another until I'm curled in a ball crying.
" Get up!" he yells. I struggle to my feet heaving. He grabs my shirt and pulls me with it so im looking at him.
"You better choose abnegation, or so help me i will hunt you down and drag you back here myself." his words are low and menacing.
"Now go" he says shoving me away from him. I brush myself off and walk toward the door. I'm about to walk out when something shiny catches my eye. I pick it up from the counter and shove the necklace in my pocket. When i walk out of the door I break into a run. Wanting to get as far away from my father and abnegation more than anything. And I guess even then i knew, that I was not going to see this place again for a long...long time.
