Divergent
The ceremony ends, 20 people transferred, that I almost half. After I transferred people started to think that they could too. It didn't end well.
"Thanks you all for coming out and watching our children decide who they are," me mom looked over at me, "we would like to ask that you let the children leave first. After they have all left, you can leave in an orderly fashion." She walks off the stage.
Dauntless leave first. They stand up and start running. Next is Erudite, they walk away, some looking at the transfers, what was going on in there heads? Candor follows them out, they stop and talk to the parent of the transfers as they leave. My mom, I hope, will cover for me. But if she was willing to kill her own mother, what chance did I have?
My factions leaves next. As I walk past my mother see takes a hold of my arm. I trip and fall onto the people behind me. Thank goodness they are so nice, they shoo off my mother, and help me get up. I guess the know how a mother can get. Abnegation was last, like always. They stay and help them clean before anyone leaves from there factions.
We all board a bus to take us outside the fences. To the Amity headquarters. When we finial get there, three black car sit there. Standing outside of one is my mother. I should have known, she wouldn't let me slip by.
The bus stops, the leader of the faction gets out of the bus. "Don't worry, I will go talk to Mrs. Dryden." By the look on her face, she new one of us was Divergent. She was trying to see who it was.
"May I come with you," I ask. I now once my mother has me, she will leave the res of the faction alone.
"Are you sure? This wouldn't be that she is your mother would it?"
"No ma'am. I think she might calm down if I go with you though," her eyes went wide.
"Yes, I think she would like if you were present," she took my hand, with a little to much force, and we walked to the cars together. On sight of see me, the men lowered their guns.
"Mrs. Dryden, so nice to see you. May I ask, why do you come?" she looked so calm, I guess that was in the Amity way of life. Make everyone seem at home, no matter what.
"Your faction has a very special Divergent within the system. If you would please hand over the Divergent, we will leave you and your faction in peace," she eyed me. Letting go of the ladies hand I walk over to my mother.
"If you harm this girl on Amity soil, you will have broken are main rule. So I ask that you take her, and do this else where."
My mother nodded. Two of the three men came over and grabbed me, taking me hosted.
"I am sorry for this but, I cant let this girl live any longer. If you try and stop me, I will do the same to you," my mother handed the gun to the third man. He set the gun against my temple.
"Wait! Before you shoot me, I have something to tell you about Mrs. Dryden," I wait. No one moves, I continue, "She says that no Divergents can live. Here is the shock, she is Divergent! And so is her husband! She turned I blind eye and fooled all of you!" screaming now. They remove the gun, and point it at me mother.
"I can't believe you did that! That was a family secret!" she was getting pushed to the ground now.
"Faction before blood. You are on Amity soil and I will ask you, please take this else where." For some reason, they listened. Picking my mother up, they dragged her to the cars, throwing her into the backseat.
"I am sorry for the inconvenience ma'am," the man walk to the car, and they drove off.
"Are you Divergent," the women said under her breath. I nod. She doesn't pull out a gun or try to harm me. "I need to speak with you once we are inside. We will not harm you here, you're safe."
We walk back to the bus, getting back on, everyone is silent. Then some kid from the back yelled, "What just happened! That girl almost died then, they almost shoot Mrs. Dryden! What is happening?"
"Now everyone calm down. It was all an mistake. Mrs. Dryden is going to be retested for her faction, unknowingly. We have reasons to believe she is Divergent." Everyone went silent again. Shrinking down in my seat, I can feel the eyes on me. I am her daughter. I should know.
This was a close call, maybe to close. If my mother results show nothing, which they might, they will come after me again. That is something I need no evidence for.
