I'm not Veronica Roth, I'm Cam.

My alarm clock wakes me up this morning, I guess I turned it on before I sent to sleep, even though I don't remember it. I get out of bed slowly and make my way over to my dresser I grab a comfy t-shirt and black jeans, I set them on my bed and walk into my bathroom that is connected to my room. I turn the shower on and take my clothes off. I get in the shower and let the water consume me. I haven't been able to shower in about 4 days, I probably stink.

After my shower, I lightly dry myself off. I put on my clothes and wrap up my shoulder a little bit. I walk outside of my room and I see Jace sitting on one of the high chairs connected to the island in the kitchen. Dad is next to him looking at mom, who is making breakfast I presume.

" Good morning " I say. Dad turns around and smiles.

" Morning Talia ! " Mom says

I see what she is making now, bacon, I also see a few muffins on some plates. I make my way over to the side of the counter containing the muffins. I reach out for one and grab it. I walk over to dad and Jace and I sit in a chair next to dad.

" So today are fear simulations, that means I can participate right ? " I say smiling, lifting up my eyebrows.

" I suppose so " Dad says smiling.

" Thank you ! " I say

" I'm gonna go to the dining hall to meet Riley, see you later Jace, and see you in a few minutes mom and dad " I say walking towards the door.

" Alright bye ! " I hear someone shout, but I can't match it to anyone.

I make my way down the hall, occasionally passing by people, and saying ' Hello ' I finally get to the dining room and see everyone sitting at normal seats. I walk to my table and spot Riley. I see him in the light and it makes his golden brown hair shine, and his blue eyes sparkle. I looks up and see me he smiles from ear to ear. He gets up and wraps his arms around my body, I hug him back.

" Hi " He says

" Why hello, how are you doing this fine morning " I say

" Better now that I am looking at a beautiful girl " He says and he smiles.

" What? " I act surprised " I'm gonna have to go tell her to keep her eyes off of my man " I say

" I don't think that'll be very necessary " He says. He leans in to where his lips are inches away from mine. I lean closer and are lips are against each other. I love the way his lips feel on mine. I feel like I can do anything, electricity bolting through me, making me want to lose myself into him. I pull back and smile.

Riley finishes eating his breakfast and we head to the simulation room. We walk in and I see that a few other intiates are in there as well. There is a white board in the corner of the room names are on it. I get up from my chair and walk over to it. They are the rankings.

1. Riley

2. Ethan

3. Ryan

4. Daniel

5. Jacob

6. Lexus

7. Melissa

8. Gillian

9. Chase

10. Talia

11. Hayes

12. Leah

13. Mason

14. Avery

15. Emily

16. Katlyn

17. Brendon

Katlyn and Brendon are going to be factionless. I am disappointed with my score.

" Talia, you cannot be mad about your ranking, you would have gotten much better if that bastard hadn't attacked you " Riley says putting his arm around my waist.

" I know, I'm just mad that I let it go how far it did " I say looking at my feet.

" I know, you will be great though, in these two stages " He says

" I'm proud of you, first is great " I say. He smiles and nods.

Eventually everyone is in the room just sitting in chairs waiting for mom and dad. Ethan is sitting diagonal to me, next to Melissa. Gillian is sitting next to me, and Lexus and Daniel are sitting across from Riley.

Mom and dad come in and tell us that they will be calling us in randomly, and to be prepared.

" Avery " Mom says. Avery gets up and walks into the room with mom and dad

After about 30 minutes, and about 5 people that have been in and out, including Riley, he came out looking sad and scared he said he was fine, but I don't believe him, dad comes out and calls me.

" Talia come on "

I get up and walk into the room, in there is a chair that looks like one you would find in a dentist. Mom is sitting in a chair in front of a computer.

" Hi honey " She says

" Hi " I say

I sit down in the chair and put my head back. Dad goes over to the counter and picks up a black box, he brings it over to the desk that the computer is sitting on and opens it. He picks up what is inside and I see that it is a needle.

" Talia, to get out of this you will need to calm down your heart rate, try to calm yourself completely down " He says

" Okay " I say. He sticks the needle in and I flinch slightly I feel my vision cloud up a bit

" Be brave " I hear. I close my eyes

When I open them again I'm not in the room with mom and dad anymore, I'm not even sure if I am in the Dauntless compound at all. I look around and realize I am on top of a room, I look over the edge and freeze. I am at least 100 stories up from the ground. Heights. I step back from the edge and remember dad's words. " Calm down your heart rate " There is no way I can calm my heart right now, there is one though. I back up even more and begin sprinting, I jump off the edge. I feel my stomach sink, right before I hit the ground I wake up back in the simulation room with mom and dad.

" Heights " Mom says laughing

" Yeah ? Why are you laughing ? " I ask her

" Heights is one of my fears " Dad speaks up. Oh.

" Talia what was your results for your aptitude test ? " Mom asks, she has stopped laughing and has a serious look on her face.

" Dauntless " I say. I can trust my parents, they won't hurt me

" And... ? " Dad says

" And Abnegation " I say. They look shocked. It seems like they have stiffened as well. Mom looks at dad then back at me.

" Alright, we will protect you, we won't let anyone hurt you " She says

" Why were you surprised ? " I ask

" I don't know it's just, you know we both came from there, and... " Dad says

" We don't like living in the past, we like it here, in the future " Mom says eyeing dad.

" Okay, well I'll see you guys later bye ! " I say. They both nod and I walk out of the room with dad.

" Ethan " He calls Ethan gets up and pushes his shoulder against mine, my good shoulder. I walk away heading down the hall towards the dorms.
