Hey guys!!! I haven't been writing on this story a lot and i felt guilty about it! Again I need to know what you think so please review! I can't tell if people are reading my stories and I want to know. Is there a way to tell? If so please tell me. Anyways let's get on with the story
Chapter 2
I wake in the cafeteria and I see two baskets in front of me one with a knife and the other with a block of cheese. "Choose" I hear a lady's voice say I look around, but can't seem to find her. Okay this is getting creepy. I grab the knife so I have some protection and the cheese disappears.My long fingers wrap around the knife and I start to feel that feeling of power again. I hear growling and turn to see a vicious looking dog prowling toward me like it was getting ready to attack. It pounces at me and I stab it with the knife. I watch as the life drains from its eyes, but no guilt do I feel. Only pride for protecting myself. Both the dog and the knife disappear and the corpse is replaced with tame version of the dog that was just here. A little girl yells "PUPPY!" And the dog starts to change into its older version. Before I have any time to think I have already attacked the dog to save the little girl it's teeth start ripping through my skin. I wake up in the testing room, but the abnegation lady wasn't there I walk out the door and suddenly I am on the bus. A man asks if I have seen a man on the cover of his newspaper. I have seen him! I don't know where but I have! "um..." I am not supposed to lie, but he could harm me "no" I say
"please this could save my life" he is starting to frighten me and I just straighten up and yell "No! I am Candor if I had seen him I would have told you!" I wake up from the simulation and the abnegation lady is finalizing my results. "You got dauntless" she says. The tight feeling that I hadn't realized was there released. I wasn't going to have to stay in Candor! I leave the room at the same time as Tabor and we start heading back to caffeteria. Before we reach the cafeteria he stops me "what were your test results?" He asks
"I'm not supposed to say"
"Come on you can tell me"
"Dauntless" he hugs me
"Thank God"
" why Are you hugging me?"
"I don't think I could survive without you!" He starts to hug me even tighter
"What is going on?" I ask starting to freak out
"How do I tell you this without you freaking out."
"I am already freaked out. I think you can tell me whatever you need."
"I love you. I have known it from the day I met you and I will till the day I die." I am shocked! How could he love me, a monster. Someone who has a good feeling when she hurts someone. How? I wished for this to happen and now I don't know how to respond. I let my body take over. I usually over think things and I don't think I have the time to do that right now.
"I love you too." Did I seriously just confess this to him?! Oh God I am probably going to scare him away. he leans in and kisses me on the lips. I kiss back. The kiss feels like electricity is running through me. He pulls away and I have a look of shock and disappointment painted on my face.
"Let's go to dauntless together," he says "We can stay with each other" more shock comes onto my face
"What about our families?" I say. Why am I saying this stuff! He is giving me an excuse to get out of Candor and a way to be with him! This is perfect! "I need to get out of Candor. Addy, please come with me."
"Why do you need to get out?" I ask he is perfectly normal for a Candor boy, there should be no reason for him to want to leave.
"Please, just come with me." He says I know he is covering something up, but this is too good a chance not to take it.
"Okay," I say kissing him one last time "we have to get back to the Cafeteria." I say
"Your right."
we walk back to our seats. Now I have a lot to think about. I just promised Tabor that I would come with him to dauntless! I chose him over my own family! I can't back down now. I will choose dauntless. Betray my family, but live free. Free of the truth, but most importantly free from having to fit in. I look over at Tabor and his large brown eyes look back at me. I feel a flutter in my stomach and I can't wait to be Dauntless with him.
The day has finally ended and I am walking home with Tabor. My sisters are riding the bus because My family thought it was suitable For me to walk home alone today so I would have time to think of my decision. "I am glad to have you as my girlfriend" Tabor says excitedly
"did you just call me your girlfriend?" I ask
"yes is that alright with you?"
"It is perfect!" I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him on the cheek. I have already decided on my faction so there is no reason for me to walk home alone except for to spend more time with my boyfriend. Wow, that word sounds amazing in my head, boyfriend. "Can I tell my family?" I ask
"We aren't going to be Candor much longer so what's harm?!" We walk a few more blocks hand in hand till we get to the black and White Houses with windows in every room. Hemma sees me from her bedroom window and races out the door
"Bye" Tabor says as he walks into his house
"OMG DID I JUST SEE YOU HOLDING TABOR MARTINS HAND!"
"Geez yes you did. say it any louder and I bet the people at the wall could hear you" she pulls me into her house and forces me into a chair. "What happened, when, where." She is overwhelming me with questions
"When: after the aptitude test. Where: in the hallway, and for what happened he kissed me." She shrieked and went to grab some ice cream from the fridge. She came back with two vanilla cones and demanded every detail. "We were walking back to the cafeteria and he stopped. He asked what faction I got and I told him" I say "what faction did you get?" She interrupts "dauntless,"
"OH! MY! GOD!! I DID TOO WE HAVE TO GO TOGETHER!!!"
"Anyways he hugged me and started making a big deal on how He wouldn't survive dauntless without me. I was confused so I asked what was happening and he kissed me. After that he asked me to go to Dauntless with him."
"What did you say?"
"I of course said yes."
"THAT IS SO ROMANTIC!!! I am so glad that you got dauntless! That couldn't have worked out any better."
"I have got to go home now. See you at the choosing ceremony. Bye" I walk home and arive to the smell of bacon in the air. My mom had made breakfast for dinner. I told my parents about Tabor and I, of course I left out the part about going to dauntless with him. they seemed happy that I was Dating my childhood friend. Then, after dinner I was sent to my room to think about my choice for the rest of the night. What would I do? What could I do? I had already promised Tabor that I would go to Dauntless with him. At about one in the morning I hear my door open "you awake Addy?" I hear Ella's small voice say
"yup, I am having a pretty restless night."
"I needed you to know I will love you no matter what choice you make. I will make sure to visit you too!" She doesn't understand that the choice I make is permanent. And that if Mom or Dad don't want to visit me then she can't.
"Ok come here." She crawls up next to me and I tell her a story. She is eight years old, but a story before bed still helps her go straight to sleep. About half way through the story she fell asleep. I picked her up and moved her back to her own bed. I look at Emily as I walk into their room. In four years she will choose. I pray she doesn't go through everything that I am going through. I pray she knows what faction she Is going to get, that she already has everything planned out. I have my suspicions that she will get amity, but I won't be here to help with her making the decision. I walk back to my own bed tears in my eyes knowing, that after tomorrow, I may never see them again. I lay down in bed and fall asleep, somehow, through all the thoughts rushing through my head.
Ok guys thank you for reading this! I apologize for the long A/N at the top but I have some stuff I need y'all to read. Let me know what you think should happen next! (I am not breaking up Tabor and Abby though because I love them so very dearly) also don't forget to read my other story "life without the war" trust me it is definitely more open to ideas than this one, anyways stay awesome, stay lucky, and peace out!
