I walk into a gigantic room full of vacant chairs. My family and I seat ourselves in one of the front rows. Then more factions start coming through the door rapidly like horses running to their owner for dinner.
A tall man walks into the room with papers. "Quiet please. " The man says. "Quiet please!" The man now yells. "My name is Marcus, today is the Choosing Ceremony. Today is the day our children will decide who they want to become. Our people have created five factions. Those who blamed aggression formed Amity. Those who blamed ignorance became the Erudite. Those who blamed duplicity created Candor. Those who blamed cowardice were the Dauntless."
I hear many loud woops coming from the people that crave adrenaline, the Dauntless. I look over to see all of them smiling and patting each other on the back.
"Finally, last but not least Abnegation, those who blamed selfishness made abnegation." Marcus finishes saying.
After that everything was a blur. I knew what I was going to do but just having the rest of your life decided on this day was scary. What if I choose dauntless and it doesn't work out? What if I become factionless like the man in my aptitude test? As I kept thinking my mind started getting cloudy, it was getting hard to think past all of the failure that could happen in the future. "Alison Green." Marcus finally got to my name but I was not ready to choose what I was going to do with my life.
I stood up and slowly started walking toward the stage. In this moment all I thought about was how I needed to be brave. If I can be brave and make the most important decision of my life I can be dauntless.
I'm sorry the chapters have been short. Next chapter is fairly long
