I stand in a room full of mirrors. I can see myself from every angle.
How did I get here?
On one of the mirrors the word Choose appears. In front of me two tables pop up; to my left cheese and to my right a knife.
This is a simulation, so I can't die. I wouldn't really be able to eat anyway.
I grab the knife.
In the corner of my eye there is movement in the mirror. I turn to see a dog with it's teeth barred and tail between it's legs. Don't look at it in the eye.
It slowly comes towards me. I sit down, If it attacks I can plunge the knife into it's throat. The dog is only about 2 feet away when it lays down and rolls over.
I stroke the dog until a figure across the room grabs my attention. Devin. The dog leaps up and sets his eyes on him. It charges forward and I latch onto the tail before it can run any further. It turns around and bites my shoulder.
I cry out in pain and cup my hand over the wound. Devin and the dog disappear. Everything is fading quickly and then it turns to black.
I open my eyes swiftly to find myself back inside the testing room with Tori and Devin. Tori says she'll be back as she hurries out of the room. When she turns I can see an eagle on the back of her neck through her mostly black hair.
"What did you see?" Dev asks.
"I don't even know."
Devin gives me a look of sympathy and lays his hand on my shoulder- the same one that was almost ripped in two by Lassie. He strokes his fingers through my carmel colored hair as we wait.
Dev and I could pass as twins, that's what most think we are. Same straight, thick locks. Tan skin. Bright blue eyes. Long dark eyelashes- those work particularly well for him. Today his hair is tousled in a look I would call stylish bedhead.
The door swings open again and Tori strolls in with a worried look.
"Did she tells you anything?" Tori asks. Devin shakes his head no.
"You guys are twins, right?" Devin has a quick chuckle but answers no again. "You two are probably the same though." Tori says as she contradicts herself. She looks at me quickly and motions for me to get up.
"Devin-right? Sit." We trade places and I move to the side of him so I can continue reading Tori's lips. She types into her gray laptop and fills the needle with clear liquid. Without even sterilizing his neck she presses down on the plunger.
"That's not really sanitary" I say out loud. She looks at me funny and says "I wasn't asking was I?" The way she looks at me tells me she already knew this though.
"You're not from Dauntless, are you?" She looks back at Devin who looks like he's dreaming. "No, Erudite." I nod. "Why did you transfer?"
She glares. "So I wouldn't have to answer so many questions."
Devin opens his eyes and looks around as if someone shook him awake.
Tori nods as she types into her computer. "Same result. You are Divergent with aptitude for both Erudite and Dauntless." Her face gets serious. "Do not tell anyone." She stresses. " Now go home and think about your options."
We exit and Devin and I walk home in silence. We stop at the entrance of our house and Devin signs that he will come see me after hours.
Dinner was very boring as usual and our parents didn't bother to ask us about the results.
I head up the stairs and do my nighttime routine and then sit on my bed and read until my brother comes in.
"Hey Ansel. I know you're scared, I am too, but we have to leave. You know that. I'm not gonna force you Ans, but I'm gonna ask you to go to Dauntless with me."
I nod. "I'm going. We're going to make it through initiation and be Dauntless and get tattoos and piercings!" We both laugh together.
"Goodnight Ansel. I love you." "Love you too." I reply.
Right before he shuts the door he pulls his hand back through and shows me his fingers crossed. I do the same. Our old symbol.
And with that, I pull up the covers and drift to sleep.
A/N Guys please just leave a review telling me whether or not to continue. Thanks! -Xoxo Tabby
