Hi, back again with chapter 2:)
Chapter 2
Standing on the towering platform, holding the knife, stained with blood. It's so sharp why do I have to cut myself with it? Focus. I accept the weapon into the edge of my palm. I drag it across my hand being careful not to let the blood drip.
I can see my mum looking strangely calm.
I wince at the thought of leaving her and dad.
I stare, the glass, water, coal, stones and soil are reflecting the light on the ceiling. A small spot of blood splashes on the carpet beneath me.
I take a deep breath, and squeeze a small ounce of blood into the water. It diffuses quickly. All I can hear is Erudite cheering. If I can't fit into just one faction, I will have to choose. I will never fit in. Anywhere.
So I do what's best for me. And mum and dad.
Erudite is my new home.
I am now running outside. Some of the Erudites are patting me on the back."Well done. Great choice,"says a tall girl. She is young and slim, and her hair, cut into a neat, jet black bob. She shakes my hand."I'm Amilie."she is wearing a denim waistcoat with a smart suit. Her smile is very delicate compared to her personality but it is enough to welcome me. As I turn, I catch a glimpse of my parents. They are hugging each other.
I have to talk to them. I walk past Amilie at the sight of my parents.
"Mum, Dad, I'm so sorry. I just don't feel like I fit into Dauntless. I need to be somewhere where I can be who I am. Not who I want to be. After all I am Divergent."
"Oh don't worry. Come here."Mum hugs me tightly and combs her fingers through my hair."Your dad and I are proud of what you did today. Just remember. I will always love you."
"Come on, Andrew."Amilie is calling me over."Ten. My name is Ten."
