I sat patiently on my chair waiting for my name to be called, two girls were on either side of me giggling away like lunatics. How can they be so happy when our future is behind the door across from us? How are they not nervous? Those questions ran through my head as I tried to figure out the answer to my questions. Maybe some people were just naturally that way, always happy and smiling no matter what the occasion is, I internally roll my eyes at myself when I remember what Faction I'm from. As the giggling continued every thirty seconds I couldn't help but be the slightest bit annoyed by the constant noise of it. "Would you shut up!" I hissed quietly. The two girls jumped and looked my way with an oblivious look on their faces as if they didn't know what they were doing. Of course they didn't. They don't say anything back instead they look forward not uttering another word or giggle much to my relief.

"Evelyn Dawson."

My heart does a leap in my chest as my breathing becomes shorter, with a slow sigh I stand up and walk towards the door, my heart hammered with every foot step I took and reality began to dawn on me as I got closer to the door, without hesitation I walk into the room with a wall lined with mirrors, and a chair in the centre of the room. "Sit." A voice says. A female woman walked from the corner of the room, by the attire she was wearing it was clear to tell that she was Dauntless. I stand there motionless taking in my surroundings and what was about to happen. "Are you just gonna stand there all day or are you actually going to get this over with?" She said with a slightly annoyed face. With shaky breaths I managed to drag myself onto the chair, it felt like my whole body was a paper weight that couldn't be moved. "I'm Tori. I'll be administrating your test today, you'll be given a series of choices which will determine the Faction you belong in." She passes me a shot glass with some type of blue liquid in it, I figured it was best not to ask questions because after this I would have my answer. I let the blue liquid down my throat and I lean back and close my eyes.

Everything seems to get extra quiet. I open my eyes to see I'm still in the Aptitude Test room, I frown in confused. Did it work? I sit up and look around the roomto notice that it was bare, everything that was perviously here was gone. I stand up and walk towards the mirror and stare at myself. Something didn't seem right and I understood why I felt that waywhen I looked to my left and right. I seen double of me absolutely everywhere, every movement I made was copied by the replicas around me. "Choose." My voice said. I spun around to face myself. "What?" I ask. "Choose." I looked to the left to see a knife and look to the right and see cheese. The knife could protect me against a threat but if there wasn't a threat I didn't have to use it, I dont understand what I would use the cheese for. I dived for the knife. As soon as I held it I heard a low and feral growl. I span around to see a large dog baring its sharp teeth at me slowly walking towards me. I took a few steps back as I tried to steady my shaky hands. The dog pounced at me and I froze in fear, with a scream stuck in my throat I held the knife out and looked away with my eyes screwed shut. The last thing I heard was a pained whimper.

I slowly opened my eyes expecting to be in the same room however the scene had changed. I was on a bus, the bus seemed to be empty except for one man that was sat across from me with a newspaper directly in front of his face. I watched the man stand up and look straight towards me holding out the newspaper. "Do you know this man?" He asked. I looked at the newspaper to see a picture of someone, I did recognise him I just didn't know how or where from. "No." I said with a polite smile. "You're lying." He growled gripping the thin paper tighter. "No, I'm not." I said with a frown. His face contorted into one of anger. "Stop lying!" He yelled. I stood up getting ready to defend myself. "You could save someones life. Who is it!" He yelled getting in my face. "I don't know!" I yell pushing him back down.

I gasp as I lean forward in the chair. I was back in the Aptitide Test room. My breathing came out shaky and shallow as I felt my body shake and shiver while sweatcoated my face. "You good?" Tori asked from beside me. I nodded my head. "Well this is something you don't see everyday." She muttered more to herself than anyone else. "What?" I ask. She looked at me and paused as if she was confused, I began to get anxious as she didn't tell me my results. "Dauntless. You got Dauntless." The air was knocked out of me from those few words. What? If I thought back on my attitude and past decisions then maybe it might have made sense but right now I was uncapable of thinking about anything other than my test result. Tori looked at me with a look of sympathy on her face, she could probably see the internal trauma on my face. "You know you don't have to choose Dauntless." She told me as if I didn't know. "I know, but why would I chose any other Faction when I know I don't belong there, I wouldn't fit in even if I tried." She didn't utter another word after that because she knew I was right. I have trouble being in the Faction I was born into never mind any other Faction. I jumped off of the chair and left the room without saying anything else, I needed space and time to think and I know it would be a while until all of my Faction was done and we could go home.

I sat on a wall outside lost in thought. Do I tell my parents? What would they think? What about my brothers and sister? What if I don't tell them and they just find out at the choosing ceremony? Would I even survive in Dauntless or would I become Factionless? A thousand unanswered questions ran through my head, I wished I was able to provide answers for myself but it was just a waiting game now. I had to leave my family behind and even possibly make a new one, I could never imagine replacing my family that I have now I feel like I would be betraying them and that's something I could never do. Hopefully they would understand, they always knew I never belonged in Amity anyway so I don't see why they would be mad. Yes, they would be sad but that doesn't mean they won't understand. I had two siblings in Dauntless anyway but we don't talk about them, it pained my parents to much so we all just learned not to talk about them but none of us forgot. They were twins Micah and Marshall. They were the eldest of my siblings and I haven't seen them for about three years, I missed them. They were two of the most funniest people you would ever meet and they were amazingly stupid, you couldn't help but laugh at them majority of the time. That was then, now I had no clue. They have probably changed so much.

"Hey, are you okay?" A young boy who came out the building walked over to me. "I-Yeah, I'm okay." I stutter. "Then why do you look like you've just seen a ghost?" He asked with a slight smile on his face. "Oh, I just got my test results." I told him. His face turned into one of understanding. "Good or bad?" He asked. I frowned not knowing the answer and shrugged my shoulders. "What's your name?" I asked. "Uriah. Yours?" I smile at the boy. "Evelyn." I take his hand and shake it. "I don't think it'll be bad no matter what you choose, you're meant to trust the test it tells us where we belong so I don't see the problem people have choosing when they've already been told." Uriah said with certainty. I automatically knew what he was talking about. "Well sometimes it's not that simple, we have families and for some people it's hard to just leave them behind like they never existed. Think of what it's like for their parents they probably feel just as much hurt and pain as they do." I tell him. "And really? Trust the test? Yes the test does tell us where we belong but it doesn't choose who we are, that's down to us to decide." I finish. He looked at me in shock. "Well I didn't expect that." Before I could answer he was shouted by two people. "Sorry, I gotta go. Maybe I'll see you around." He bid me goodbye as I waved to him. It was only then that I realised he was wearing Dauntless clothing which sent me straight back to my thoughts. I groaned.

What the hell am I gonna do?
