Ok so I've got a pretty good reason why I couldn't publish, I went on a 10 day holiday to South Australia. I didn't have that much time to write, but when I did, I didn't have any motivation. I'll tell you why after you've read this chapter.
Enjoy!
Tris's POV: Aptitude Tests Day...
Today is the day. the day where I can finally choose to be free with Tobias, or stay back in abnegation, by myself, with no friends. I can tell which one I like better.
I wait at the door for Tobias to pick me up.
We walk together, talking about how nervous we are. Even though we aren't suppose to tell anyone our results for the aptitude tests, We still said we would share what we got, then we would decide what faction to go to.
All the year 10's and myself go into a waiting room. Suddenly everyone starts whispering.
After a minute or so, a Tall blonde-headed lady walks in, the room becomes dead silent. "Hello and welcome to all the students here today, my name is Jeanine Matthews. it is an honour being here today-" I get cut off by Tobias whispering in my ear. "On a scale of 1-100 how nervous are you?"
"Um let me think...101" I quickly respond. We both chuckle silently, "How about you?" "same, I just want it to be over and done with" I nod.
Jeanine keeps talking about how your not supposed to share your tests results with anyone, that the simulation isn't real, choose what comes to your mind first, and all those kinds of things.
"Thankyou for letting me be here, and remember, faction before blood" she says. Everyone starts clapping.
One of our teachers walks in front of us all. "So the first faction this year will be Abnegation" he says.
Every other faction whoops and cheers, urgh why do we have to be first?
In alphabetical order, our names are called one by one. Slowly creeping down to the next letter, I can feel myself shaking, a cold shiver runs up my spine. Be brave Tris, be brave.
When I've finally calmed down, I hear Our teacher call out "Henry Duzz!". A small boy with jet black hair, and pale skin walks up. I can tell he's more nervous than I am.
A dark-skinned lady peeps out of a testing room. She greets him with a smile and they both walk into the room.
"Tobias Eaton!" His face looks shocked. Before he stands up a grab his arm "hey, it's ok. Good luck" I whisper. My words seems to sooth him, he smiles and walks into a testing room.
Tobias's POV:
When I walk into the testing room. I'm half-heartedly greeted by a pale-ish woman with dark brown hair and eyes.
"Hi I'm Tori, I'll be testing you today" she says. "Hi" I mumble. "Sit down there" I do as I'm told and lay down on a simulation chair. "Hold still" and before I can say anything, she injects me with a serum.
I close my eyes and become lost in my mind.
When I open my eyes, I'm in a blank room with a tray having red meat on it, and the other one has a sharp knife on another tray.
"choose" booms a voice out of nowhere.
Without thinking, I grab the knife and wait for whatever's coming.
A dog the size of a wolf, growls at me with its bared teeth. I clench the knife tightly in my hand, staring at the beast.
It starts running towards me at an extremely fast speed, I brace myself and hold out the knife in front of me. Just do it, it's only a simulation.
The dog jumps out at me, but I jab it's back. I howls in pain, but after a few seconds it's wound clears up completely.
Within a flash of light, the giant monster becomes an adorable puppy. I slowly pet it, and in return, the puppy licks my face with happiness.
Out of nowhere, a little girl around the age of 7, walks up to me and the dog. "Doggy!" She shouts.
Somehow the dog changes back to its vicious form and the little girl runs, the dog starts chasing her, looking like it wants to rip the girl to shreds. I start to run faster than I ever have, I start to catch up, and pounce at the dog.
I tightly grip around its stomach to stop it from running. While I'm doing so, white light flashes and the dog, the girl, and the large room are gone. Somehow I'm standing up and am in a bus.
I'm right in font of the bus driver when he asks me something "excuse me, do you know this man?" he says desperately, and holds up a newspaper with a mans face on it. I think for a while, I recognise him, I just don't know who he is.
"Please, If you do, you can help me". I can see his face looks tired and has deep purple bags under his eyes. I think I should tell him the truth.
"Yes, I do". With that, the bus and the man all fade away. I suddenly wake up to reality, looking around realising I'm in the testing room. Tori looks confused, I take a few deep breaths and wait for her to tell me my results.
She turns around and asks me "were you aware that you were in the simulation?" I remember Marcus telling me 'say no'. I don't see the problem me telling her.
"Yeah, why?" I ask. She looks shocked, I don't know why.
I start to speak up "what were my test results?". She sighs and puts her head in her hands. I'm starting to feel worried.
" your results were, Abnegation...Dauntless, and Candor". "What?!" I shout a little-too loudly.
"I'm only suppose to have one result" I whisper.
"You are extremely special, your...Divergent" she says quietly. "What's that?"
Then Tori tells me all about what a 'Divergent' is extremely quickly. If we were in here too long, the teachers would be wondering what's wrong, then look at my test results, find out I'm a divergent, and kill me.
After she's finished talking, I'm shocked. What's going to happen to me? Am I going to die?
"You need to go, and remember don't tell anyone your results!" She hisses, and before I can say anything, she pushes me out the door.
What am I going to tell Tris?
Tris's POV:
I need to find out more about what Tori told me, but I don't know if I'll ever see her again.
I sit on the cold ground and wait for Tobias in the alleyway. I don't know how I'm going to tell him my results. I've never heard anyone have an aptitude of 3 factions, and that person is me. I'm not allowed to tell him, but I have to.
Should I lie?
No, I should tell him the truth. Don't be stupid Tris, just tell him.
Finally I see him running towards me, I look into his deeply blue eyes and see a worried look forming all around his face as he gets closer to me.
He stops at me and takes a few deep breaths, "Hi" he says, panting, then sits facing me.
"Hey, um so what were your results?" I say awkwardly. He then looks down at the ground, trying to avoid eye-contact.
"We're only support to have 1 right?" He whispers. I nod my head a little when he's looking up at me. I gulp, why can't he just say?
"Well...I have 3 aptitude results, Abnegation...Candor and Dauntless" he says quietly, and his face turns scared, my eyes widen, how can he have 3 too? I thought it was impossible, we're both...Divergent.
"Mine are Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless" I say in a normal voice, though not loud enough for anyone but Tobias to hear.
From those words, he looks up with a smile plastered on his face, "I think we know what faction we're going to now" he says.
I smile, Dauntless.
PLEASE READ:
so the main reason I haven't written 2 or more chapters is because my motivation levels have gone down. And it is because...I haven't been getting that many reviews :(. Please if you have time, just write something simple like: I liked this chapter, or can you try to put this part in?, or even I didn't like the story because it had this in it. Because I can change the story a bit. So please write a review, then I'll be posting more chapters! :) but for those who have, Thankyou so much, I really appreciate it.
Bye! Xx
