Beatrice

When the doors to the Hub swing open letting all 16 year olds flood into the building I make my way to the stairwell and climb to the top. When my foot hits the final step I look to my left and right and inwardly smile because the other people around me are all panting for breathe and I'm doing just find. I think all the secret work I have put in has been worth it. I've been so scared that I wont be prepared for whatever happens.

When on the top floor, we are lead into a crowded room mixed with factions. All us abnegation stand in a corner of the room as one by one people are called back to take the test, but I can help but wonder where I will be this time tomorrow. Abnegation is my home, but it is haunted by my mother's ghost and my father's iron fist. I just can't see me fitting anywhere else. Do I belong with the Erudite, crowding the tables and hunching over textbooks, or with the Candor arguing about god knows what. Maybe Amity and try and find happiness in there vast fields. Could I be dauntless? Brave and confidant.

"Beatrice Prior" a tall women dress in black calls. I move carefully to the crowd and follow her as she turns into a mirror filled room. I can't help but pause in the doorway. After my mother died, Marcus had to start cutting my hair and he never let me look in the mirror. Of course I saw glimpses of my reflection on the windows of building, but this is the first time I have really looked ay myself since I was ten.

Not much has really changed. I still have my hooked nose and spare upper lip. My eyes are still the same dark blue, just like his. I look older.

"Mhhm, could you take a seat please we need to begin," The women says and I do as told, "What is it with you Stiffs and mirrors." she whispers under her breath. "My name is Tori, I will be administering you Aptitude Test today."

She bends over to plug the machine in and I notice a tattoo in between her shoulder blades, "A hawk?"

"Ya, I got it after I over came my fear of the dark, as I was saying, I will be administering you test today, it will determine which faction you are most compatible with. Of course the final decision of yours and you will get to decide you own fate tomorrow at the Choosing Ceremony. Don't be to scared there is nothing to worry about just about every person gets the faction they were born into," she says and then turns to pick a glass vile filled with a blue liquid, "I'm going to attach these electrodes to you temples and then you will drink this causing you to enter a simulation that I will monitor and then enter in your results," The woman, Tori attaches the wires and hands me the vile, "Bottoms up."

I give her a look but take it down anyway.

"You will enter the simulation in sixty seconds. "

Before I know what's happening I shut my eyes and then open them again to be standing in the room, Tori gone with all her equipment. I do a 180-degree and there are two pedicels, one with cheese, and the another with a knife.

"Choose," I don't do anything, "Choose now." the voice says.

Instinctively I grab gab the knife and out of nowhere a girl appears in front of me. She has a horrified look on her face and lifts her arm up to point at something behind me.

I spin slowly and see a wolf creeping toward us. It launches itself into the air and I hold my knife out plunging it into the animal's chest before it can hurt the girl. Out of know where the wolf disappears and I am transported to a bus with a man running and screaming for help. I go to him and he shoves a paper in my face, "Have you seen this girl?!" the man screams, "You must tell me if you have!"

Immediately I am put off by the situation, I know I have seen the girl before but I wont tell this man I have a feeling he plans on hurting her, "No sir, I haven't"

"I know you do, tell me!'

"I'm sorry I can't help you," when the words leave my mouth everything around me dissolves and I am sitting back the test chair panting. Tori has a concerned look in her face, " What is it? What were my results?"

She looks at me with panic in her eyes and whisper, "Your results were inconclusive. You tested into both Abnegation and Dauntless" Dauntless? "I'm going to manually enter in your results as Abnegation but Beatrice you must not say anything to anyone, not your best friend, not your family. Not a soul can know about this, it is very dangerous."

"Why, why is it so dangerous?"

"You've already been in here to long. Leave out the back say you're sick and go home. Now."

"But Tori you need to tell me! How am I support to protect myself if it's as dangerous as you say" I wisper-scream.

"You need to leave now, go"

Infuriated I leave out the back door and run down the twenty flights of stairs to the ground level and then out the exit. My eyes won't stop water so I lean against the building and take a deep breath to regain my composure. When I pull myself together I begin the long trek home.

Walking along the broken up streets of the factionless I can't help but hear Tori's words echo in my head. Dauntless. She said Dauntless! I had always thought that if I decided to leave I would go there but I've always been to scared. Since I have been training so hard, physically I think i would do well there but how can I go to a place that values above all bravery, if I'm scared to go there.

I guess transferring to Dauntless is like overcoming a fear, therefore making me brave.

Maybe I could be brave. Maybe I should.
