Chapter 1

Aptitude Test

Chrysanthemum POV

Amity has never been the faction that I love. It has always been fake with peace and love, it's gross. I was born into the perfect Amity family, my family has been in Amity since the founding of the factions after the war. I don't fit in here. I'm too wild and aggressive and cause too much trouble. I've wanted to be Dauntless for as long as I can remember, and Josh has been helping me. Josh is my unofficial godfather, he is Dauntless and works on the wall, he has been training me for Dauntless since my first mistake when I was six. He also helped me with my cave, yes I have a cave. I found the cave when I was seven when I fell in and broke both of my legs. He helped me clean it out, get furniture and attach pipes, it took two years to finish. Josh works as an Amity patrol and comes to see me whenever he can. Whenever we get caught he just says that I'm his niece which I very well could be, we both have the same lightly tanned skin and curly golden hair, but our eyes are different, his eyes are blue like the sky, while my eyes are two different colors, my left eye is emerald green while my right eye is violet. The other thing is that he's 6'4 while I'm a tiny 5'4. All the training Josh and I have done is going to pay off soon as tomorrow is the choosing ceremony, but we still have the aptitude tests today, and just for a reference of how good I am I've been able to beat Josh while sparring since I was eight, and Josh ranked first in the physical part of initiation and I have only gotten better. My mom calls me and knocks on my door tearing me away from my thoughts. "Sweetie, it's time to get ready for your aptitude test today we have to leave in half an hour. I tear out of my bed and throw on a red shirt and skirt, and bound downstairs to get breakfast before we leave. When I get down there my mom is making toast with cheese for me and my little sister Rose is eating her toast. My parents really like flower names it would seem. My sister glances at me and smiles, a little bit of toast falling from her mouth. Then she swallows opens her mouth fully and says,

"Good luck on your aptitude test. You go there get Dauntless, leave tomorrow and make your dreams come true. Make sure you always leap to get your dreams, and now that you're leaving I would say 'Go with peace' but that's never going to happen."

"Rose, do not say such things to your sister. Do you want her to leave?" my mother says to her, my mother is a perfect Amity. She never yells or really scolds us she simply says it. My sister got the Amity gene too, but she spends too much time with her best friend Layla who's from Candor. My sister is very kind, but she refuses to lie, she withholds but never lies, and now that I think about it she may be transferring to Candor in four years. My mother hands me my toast and I practically inhale it. My sister makes a face at me. My sister stands and starts to head to the door, with me and our mother trailing behind. We head towards the truck and we board, and I don't fail to notice how everyone is squished together yet I have a foot of space on either side of me. People usually avoid me because they know about my "violent tendencies" which would only be called violent in Amity, in any other faction it would be normal to yell sometimes and maybe punch something, but here in Amity I am an outcast, an oddity.

The ride to school isn't long, we step out and head into school; we go to a few morning classes then at lunch we all sit in the section of our faction. I look around the cafeteria and focus on the Dauntless, playing cards joking and one girl has a boy in a headlock and is digging he knuckles into his head. Then I let my eyes wander to the Candor table which seems to be in a lively debate, the Erudites studying, and the Abnegation, just sitting there. I notice one girl with blonde hair and blue eyes looking at the Dauntless longingly, just then the loud speakers call, "From Abnegation: Beatrice Prior and Susan Black, From Amity: Chrysanthemum Sea and Carlos Smith." The Abnegation girl from before stands with another, while Carlos and I stand. All four of us head to the door and an Erudite says to me,

"Chrysanthemum Sea, please follow me," then she turns and leads me into a room with mirrors on the walls. I study my reflection, my big green and violet eyes, my full pink lips, and my hair in ringlets crusading down my back. The Erudite motions for me to sit in the reclined metal chair, which I do. "My name is Charlene and I will be administering your test today," then she hands me a shot glass with a blue liquid in it and says, "Bottoms up." I tilt my head back and swallow the serum in one gulp. I close my eyes then open them and I'm still in the room bur Charlene isn't here. I stand and two bowls appear, one with a knife, the other with cheese. I, out of instinct quickly snatch the knife and the two bowls disappear then a snarling dog appears, then lunges at me I quickly bring the knife up and stab the dog, killing it. The dog disappears and then I'm on a train when a man holds up a newspaper that says "Brutal murderer finally apprehended" with a picture that I recognize but can't place. The man asks me "Do you know this man," and I respond with a simple "no" then he gets mad and grabs the collar of my shirt and screams "You're lying! I can see it in your eyes." I punch him to get him to let go, he does then charges at me, and I go to kick him, then he disappears and I wake up in the chair. Charlene says to me with a surprised look on her face that my result was Dauntless, and I mumble,

"No shit," she glares at me and tells me to leave. The rest of the day goes by in a haze as well as the ride home. When I arrive my mother greets me and I greet her back, then I go up to my room, strip off my clothes, get in bed and I am unconscious as soon as my head hits the pillow.

AN: OMG Thank you all for reading this is my first fan fic and I will try to update as soon as possible. I love reading these fan fics because I love the Divergent series except of the ending in Allegiant, and that some characters (like Eric) had so much potential, like Eric could change or be a big softie inside *wink wink*. I will mostly do Eric and OC pairing. Again ALL RIGHTS GO TO VERONICA ROTH EXCEPT FOR MY OC'S. Please review.
