Thank-you year-without-rain for the review. Keep the comments coming!
I wake up late the next morning. Of course. Marcus wasn't going to wake me up. I am abandoning him and I will be seen as a traitor. Even though he is meant to be the selfless. Faction before Blood, I repeat to myself. It helps and I start to feel calmer. I smile to myself as I pick up the small statue and run my nail along the blue glass. I put it on my desk before I leave as another sign of why I left him. And another sign of who I am. Brave. Dauntless. Free.
As I walk downstairs Marcus isn't there. He must already be at the Hub. I make myself scrambled eggs and leave everything a mess. I won't come back here after the choosing ceremony. I decide to say goodbye to the house. I go into each room and open the doors and all the windows. I smile to myself at the noise it makes. The wind flapping in. I don't go into the bathroom- to many memories.
I leave and get onto the bus. The girl, Beatrice, is there again this time with all her family. I think about this girls Choosing Ceremony. Something tells me she will stay, she fits into Abnegation apart from the resolve in her eyes. This keeps me distracted all the way to the Hub where we stand around the room. My eyes find Marcus' and I tell myself not to look away, not to look away. I am Dauntless, I am braver than him.
I don't remember much. I don't concentrate on the new batch of initiates. Occasionally I hear boos and cheers from different Factions. Then I hear something, my name I think but I don't react. My daze broken, I wait for my name to be called. They call it again I walk towards the bowls and cut my hand over the Dauntless bowl. I don't hesitate. Then Abnegation begins to mutter and Dauntless cheer. All thatI can muster up over the noise is- Now I have to survive initiation.
Thank-you everyone who has read, reviewed or favourite this but I am currently stuck on what to write, if anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks x
