I can't drag Liam home fast enough, so when we do arrive home he asks me why I did that and I shush him.

Mom is the only one home so far, because dad has that special job. Who knows what it is.

'Mom!' I shout 'Mom can you guess what I got?'

'You're not supposed to tell me, but I can bet you got dauntless.' She replies

I grin and poke Liam on the forehead 'guess what, buddy.'

'What? Do I get to keep it?' he starts jumping up and down.

'Yes, Liam. You get to keep your forehead.'

Mom was about to ask, but by this time she knew that we made some weird deals and left it.

She grinned and hugged me 'You know your father and I completely support your decision, but we're going to miss you.'

I nod and my chin hits her shoulder. 'I'm going to miss you too, especially Liam.' I pull out of the hug and turn around.

'Do you wanna go watch TV?' I ask Liam.

Liam nods furiously and we make our way to the lounge, then taking up the whole seat together.

I give him control over the remote and it gives me time to think.

This is my last night in Erudite, with my family. Then I've got to make a life in Dauntless. I should make the most of this night.

I pull my arm around Liam and he leans into me. 'I'm gonna miss you Sina' he whispers.

'I'm gonna miss you too, stupid head.' He lets out something like a sob and a laugh at the same time, and I notice he's crying.

'Liam, hey, it's ok. You can still see me sometimes, and maybe one day, when you transfer we can both be in dauntless!'

'But that's eight years from now, Sina!'

'Wow you've learnt maths.'

'That's simple adding1'

'Wow, you're beginning to sound like a true Erudite.'

From then on we talk about whatever comes to mind until dad comes home.

When he does, I jump off the couch and run to the door, hugging him as soon as he crosses over the threshold,

'Wow, Justina, what's this for?' he asks.

'I'm just trying to get as much family bonding in before tomorrow, anything could happen, you know?' I reply

I feel him nod and carefully push me away 'okay, sweetie, let me just put my stuff down okay?'

I nod and he puts his stuff on the area we have arranged for stuff. Sometimes I amaze myself with my beautiful putting together of words.

Liam comes up behind me and jumps on my back. I laugh and run to the couch before dropping him there. He laughs and falls off the couch moments later. Then he grabs onto my leg and I have to drag him around the room.

We muck around like this until mom tells us it's time for dinner.

'What is there?' I ask

'Roast pork, your favourite!' mom replies.

Liam groans 'I hate roast pork!'

'That's because you're a weirdo, Liam' I tease.

He hits me lightly on the arm and we sit down, and the meal is the best I've ever had.

'Wow, mom! Looks like even Liam likes your roast pork today!' I say before taking another huge mouthful of potatoes. I like that word. Potatoes, not mouthful.

After dinner mom's even made a dessert, fruit salad with cream on top, Liam's favourite.

'Now are you happy?' I ask

Liam nods vigorously with his mouth full of fruit.

Once we all finish we talk about tomorrow.

'You'll come see me on visiting day right?' I ask

Dad takes my hand 'Of course, Justina, no matter what choice you make we'll always love you'

The rest of the night we spend watching a show called "Sherlock" from a long time ago. It's about crime and murder, and a guy who solves them. That's Sherlock. Apparently it's based off of a book, but I'm yet to read it, and I probably won't. Dauntless aren't booky people.

After the second episode of season two (there are only three episodes in each season, and season four is yet to come out) Dad sends Liam and me to bed.

I lay awake thinking about how much I'm going to miss my family for the rest of my life.

Alot.

The next day I wake up without even realising I fell asleep, but it's not really the next day, it's Liam in the middle of the night.

'Sina,' he whispers 'Sina, can I come in? I can't sleep.'

I open my eyes a little and lift the blanket and he climbs in.

We don't talk, the heat of each other's bodies and breathing is comforting enough.

Then we both sleep peacefully, until the morning.

I jolt up and feel the need to get ready straight away, so I do.

In the next five minutes I'm ready and in the kitchen and eating cereal.

It's today!

Today is the day I become –as Janine puts it- a fully fledged member of our society.

We're here! This is exciting, but I'm terrified. And nervous, too. I don't know what my emotions are doing.

We take our seats three rows from the front and wait. Janine goes through her whatever speech, then Marcus Eaton does his. Then they start calling out names. The first person is called Jena Aaron from Candor, she decided to stay in Candor. The first Erudite is a boy called "Matthew Blaine" and from then I lode focus, until I hear my name.

I stand up and hug Liam, Mom and Dad in turn before going over to the bowls, containing the factions' things.

I've always thought the Erudite one was a bit weird, because it'll be blood stained water.

I pick up the knife and carefully cut my hand, it stings a little.

My hand hovers over the dauntless bowl for a few seconds before I squeeze my hand and it drips onto the coals, and sizzles.

A loud cheer is heard from behind me. The dauntless.

I'm Dauntless, baby!
