Percy POV
I am standing in a room full of mirrors and I see a women on the other side of the room. She is small and frail and dying. 'Only you can save her but if you decide to save her you die instead' a voice hisses in my ear. I tap my foot impatiently 'and if I do nothing?' I say. I feel gun pressed against my head 'You die' the voice whispers. I widen my eyes and swallow. The women is crying for help. 'Kill me instead' I say. The women stops choking. Just as the trigger is pushing down i duck and the bullet sails over my head cracking the glass room. It explodes and I find myself in an empty room. A man is tied up to a chair and another man is beating the living shit out of him. 'Admit that you did it!' the man standing up screams. The man in the chair sobs 'I didn't! I was framed!'. The man standing up whips him 'Tell me you did it!'. The man in the chair looks at me desperately 'You there boy! You know that I was framed tell him! Tell him I didn't do it!' he cries out. I don't know how but I know what happened. The man in the chair was in an Abnegation house when there was a bloodcurdling scream. The man whipping him was crying over the body of his wife. He accused the man tied to the chair that he murdered his wife but he didn't. The man whipping the other man lifts me up by the collar of my shirt. 'Tell me what happened!' he hisses. His breath smells thick and full of alcohol. I glare at him 'Why should I tell you' I say. 'Tell me!' he screams. I fold my arms 'Yeah right' I snort and I kick him in the shin. Then the room fades away and I find myself in the aptitude test room again
Tori is staring wide eyed at me. 'Just like your mother,' she mutters frustrated,' why do I always get the special ones'. 'What faction?' I ask. Tori sighs 'Your results were inconclusive'. How is that possible? 'What?' I say clearly confused. She leans over and whispers in my ear 'Your Divergent. You have an aptitude for Erudite and Dauntless'. 'Diver-' I start but Tori clamps her hand over my mouth. 'Don't say it' she hisses. I nod. 'I'll put your results as Erudite' she says typing it in. 'What faction do I choose then?' I ask. 'Any. Its your choice' Tori says plainly. I start to open the door to go but Tori grabs my shoulders and whispers 'Don't tell anyone but your mother. She deserves to know'.
I spend the rest of the day staring off into space. Divergent. Erudite and Dauntless. Erudite: smart, intelligent. Dauntless: my home, brave. I'm choosing Dauntless.
Tris POV
I wait at the door for Percy. What if his Divergent like me and Tobias. He would be in danger. Last time Erudite almost started a war but the serum they invented went wrong. Erudite is still hunting for Divergent's. My brother is in Erudite. He betrayed me. The door opens. Percy walks in but his face is pale and he looks nervous. Christina and Will are upstairs so I drag Percy into my room. 'Mum I-' he starts but I cut him off 'Are you Divergent?' I ask. Percy nods. I swallow. No no no he's in danger. 'What factions did you get' I say as calmly as I can. 'Erudite and Dauntless' he whispers. I widen my eyes. I guess he didn't get the Abnegation part from us. What if he chooses Erudite? Even though I ran away from Dauntless I still prefer it over Erudite. 'I'm going to choose Dauntless' Percy confirms. I never wanted to do this but now I have to. 'We're going back to Dauntless!' I say smiling weakly. Percys eyes light up 'You're going to Dauntless with me?' he exclaims. I kiss his forehead 'Yes,' I murmur,' Its time they know we're not dead' Percy smiles and runs upstairs to tell Christina and Will the news. I have to face Tobias again.
Percy POV
I get up and change. My mother has her duffel bag slung over her shoulder and Aunt Christina and Uncle Will are chattering excitedly about what they're going to do first when they get back to Dauntless. We take the train to the Choosing Ceremony and we sit in the Abnegation section. No one notices. The Abnegation leader Marcus (yes Marcus is still the leader sadly) talks to us about choosing the right faction and whatever. The first person chooses Candor. My mother is squeezing my hand. 'Percy Prior'. I hear a few gasps from Dauntless as they recognise the last name. My mother is avoiding eye contact with Dauntless. I walk to the stage and slightly cut my hand. The sight of my blood makes me sick. I quickly hover my hand over the burning coals the symbol of Dauntless. My blood hisses.
I walk to the Dauntless section and take a seat in the front row. I hear a few whispers coming from behind me. I know they're talking about me. I turn around and they point at my face. I catch a few words 'his blue eyes and her blonde hair' 'they're still alive!' 'where did they go for 6 years?'. I sigh and look to the stage. The Choosing Ceremony finally ends and I see my mother, Aunt Christina and Uncle Will walking at the end of line of Dauntless but they go a different way. Is there another way to Dauntless? Everyone whoops as we arrive at the train platform. 'Come on Stiff!' someone yells. I roll my eyes. I used to be Dauntless I think. I can see the train in the distance. 'Jump!' someone screams. I jump into the first compartment and slide against the wall as I remember the day we escaped. An Amity girl sits beside me. She waves at me 'I'm Tessa!' she says excitedly. Definitely Amity I think. I smile at her and get a good look at her. She has blonde wavy hair and tanned skin probably from doing all the farming in the sun in Amity. 'I'm Percy' I grumble. Tessa beams. 'Jump off!' a guy shouts over the roar of the wind. 'What?' some Erudite guy says dropping his jaw. I roll my eyes 'He said jump ,genius' I snap standing up preparing to jump. 'Now!' I yell and jump off landing on rocks and pebbles. Tessa jumps behind me. She screams as she hits the rocks. I offer my hand and she takes it. 'Thank you' she says. A familiar guy starts yelling at the initiates. Eric. Oh shit he hates my guts because I'm Tris's son. 'To get to Dauntless you have to jump off this ledge and into a net' Eric shouts in that intimidating voice. 'More jumping?' A Candor boy groans. 'Because if you don't jump you'll immediately become factionless' Eric says smirking looking at the horror on peoples faces. His eyes land on me and he widens his eyes. I avoid eye contact. He points at me 'You there jump first'. I shrug. I've done this so many times. I know Eric recognises me he is just pretending that he doesn't because there are other people here. I stand on the ledge and bend my knees and jump. I feel the familiar presence of the wind howling near my ears. I land on the net and smile. I'm finally back in Dauntless. A guy offers his hand to me and I take it. He helps me down and I widen my eyes at him when I see who it is.
