The Years Before my Choice

by Soccerpup17

I wear the clothes of Abnegation. I have the mind of an Erudite. I can be brave like the Dauntless. I can fight like Dauntless. I have trained for Dauntless with a friend until he left. I will meet him there later and he will wait for me. Or at that's what he told me. I don't belong in Abnegation or a Erudite. But to me, Dauntless is free. Whether he is there not, I will transfer.

2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2

One year later

I walk with Tobias as we go head for the targets in the Dauntless sector. I feel rebellious every time I come here. But I also feel free. He hands me five knives, keeping five for himself. We throw knives and talk about random things when I hear someone approach. I tense up and I notice Tobias doing the same thing. I turn around slowly and I see to dark skinned boys with brown eyes who look around our age. They look like brothers but I'm not sure. They don't look that alike. I look over at Tobias as he turns around. He becomes less tense and I'm not sure why.

"Tobias is that you?" The older one says.

"Yeah is that you Zeke?" Tobias asks. He nods. I suddenly remember the name knowing he's the guy that gave Tobias the knives.

"Yeah, and this is my little bro, Uriah. Who's the blondie?"

"I'm Beatrice. Tobias has been teaching me stuff." I say.

"Cool. You guys what to have a competition. Dauntless vs Abnegation. If you did not know that it's Beatrice and Tobias vs Uriah and I. Uriah." He says coughing Uriah's name meaning he was talking mostly to him. I laugh a little. These guys are funny. He explains the rules saying we each get 5 knives and whoever does the best wins.

Zeke goes first throwing all five knives at the center. Crap, this is gonna be hard.

Four goes next doing the same as Zeke. Sweet.

Uriah goes next missing 2 out of 5 but getting really close to the center. Not bad at all.

I go last. I inhale. Ready! Exhale. Throw. The knife hits right besides the center. Ugh I can do better than that. I repeat the steps and I watch the knife. It hits the center. I do the same thing and so do the rest of the knives. I pump my fist.

"Oh yeah. We win!" I say and Tobias and I high five.

"How the hell do you lose to two stiffs?" Zeke says to Uriah.

"I don't know, but you can ask the Pedrads. They sure know, considering they did." I say. Uriah and Tobias laugh and Zeke scowls at me. But he can't hold it much longer because he breaks down laughing like the rest of us. We keep throwing knives and hitting the punching bags until we have to go.

"Bye!" I say.

"Bye!" Uriah and Zeke say.

I walk home with Tobias and we go our separate ways waiting until tomorrow night.
