Chapter II. The Test

BEATRICE- TIME SKIP- 1 MONTH LATER

Even a month after the incident, I haven't been able to recover. Ever since, I decided I would choose Dauntless. Every night, I would sneak out and practice jumping on and off of trains. I snuck out guns from school, knowing the Dauntless would have some, and practiced shooting at cardboard targets. I even charmed a Dauntless boy for his throwing knife, which I used for knife throwing. I would feel bad that I did all these things, but I am not. I will be Dauntless. Today's the test. The test that will determine my future faction. That will tell me where I will truly belong. I get up off my bed, and get dressed. I hardly got any sleep, especially with the 'mishap'. I decide to walk to school, since I'm at least an hour early. I have to deal with the daily stares and rejections. After lunch, we do the test. I walk to my assigned line, next to Caleb. I know he wants to ask me a question, but he doesn't seem like he wants to seem curious. Curiosity is for the Candors. We wait in a horizontal line, with Susan, Caleb, me, than, I look to my right to see the boy who nearly…me. Our eyes meet, and I probably have a look of fear on my face, because he smirks and turns back ahead.

I am called after ten minutes. The people who went before us have a mix of emotions, ranging from looking partially scarred to having smirks, as they walk back to the next class. We are called, and I find out that guy's name, Peter. Inside, a Dauntless woman of Asian ethnicity beckons me toward her. I am seated on a chair.

I stare at her while she hooks me up to the simulation, she is tattooed, as the normal Dauntless I see jumping off of the trains are, but what makes me most curious is the hawk tattoo on her back. "Why the hawk?" I blurt out. She looks at me.

"My name is Tori, and I have never seen a curious Abnegation before." She continues. "It's to represent the sun, and my fear of overcoming the dark." I nod in understanding. She clicks a few buttons on a computer and hands me a small glass with clear liquid.

"Drink."

"Why?"

"Drink." She states more of a command. I obediently take the serum and drink it.

I open my eyes to find myself in a large room of mirrors. A dog, a German shepherd, appears at least fifty feet away from me, and starts to charge toward me, looking deadly. I look around, and find a bowl with a knife and a bowl with cheese. "Choose." A voice says.

"Why?"

"Just choose."

"No."

"Have it your way."

The bowls disappear, and the dog is nearing me. Instinctively, I get down on my knees and avoid its eyes, recalling the ways dogs come from wolves, who have a pack leader that hates being looked in the eye. The dog calms down, and I pet it. A small Abnegation girl appears in the corner of my eye, and the dog starts to charge toward her.

I run and tackle down the dog. I close my eyes and reopen them to find myself on a bus. A man comes up to me and shoves a newspaper with a picture of Caleb on it to my face. "Do you know this boy?" I shake my head.

"You know him! Tell me! You could save me!"

"Well I don't." The man disappears and I find myself back in the test room with Tori. I look at her, her face is showing pure panic. She types something into the computer.

"Well, that was…perplexing." She says. Perplexing?

"What was my result?" She sighs and looks around.

"Your results were… inconclusive."

Inconclusive?

"That means you have aptitude for more than one faction. You have Dauntless, Abnegation, and Erudite. This is very dangerous Beatrice, and you can't tell anyone, not now, not ever. Not even your family."

I am in pure shock. "That can't be! We have to trust the test-"

"The test didn't work on you." Tori interrupts. "I will put in your result as Abnegation, and you will be sent home for 'being sick from the serum'." I nod and run home.

Once home, I have so much to think about.

Test.

Three Factions.

Dauntless.

Abnegation.

Erudite.

DIVERGENT.

I lay on my bed as my mind swirls around in thoughts. I am snapped out of my trance when I hear knocks. I open the door to find a worried Caleb.

"Beatrice? Are you okay? I didn't see you after the tests."

"Oh no, I'm fine. I took the test, it's just that…" I quickly search my mind for the excuse Tori told me to use. "I got sick from the serum. And they sent me home early." Caleb looks like he doesn't seem to believe me, but he says, "Okay. Nice to know you're okay. Come help me make dinner." I nod, and I cook the chicken as he cuts the carrots.

My parents walk in.

"How was work, father and mother?" I say politely.

"Work was fine. Let's eat dinner." My father replies, with his voice slightly tensed. I sigh, as the Erudite have been giving our faction a hard time with the government, and it doesn't help that my father is a government official.

Caleb and I set up the plates, and we all gather around the table. We say our blessings, and eat, passing the food from left to right.

"How was tests, kids?" Father asks us.

"Fine." Caleb and I reply simultaneously.

He couldn't be Divergent… could he? He seems more of an Abnegation.

"I heard one of the students got sick from the serum and was sent home early." Mother speaks. Crap. This alarms me, and just when Caleb is about to open his mouth, he sees my reaction and thinks otherwise, staying silent. I mouth 'thanks' to him. He mouths, 'no problem'.

After dinner I sneak out once again. I make my way over to the train, not knowing what to do. I just have too much on my mind.

I climb up the train tracks that are supported by beams, and wait for the next train, hoping to sneak in unnoticed. I only have to wait for a few minutes for the next train. I run and gracefully jump in, as I have done many times before.

Once inside the train, I see loads of guns, knives, and black clothing. I decide to take a black long sleeve, to cover the scars HE left me, black skinny jeans, and black combat boots. I also grab a few knives and place them in my pocket, alongside with my lucky throwing knife that has the Dauntless flames on it, which was from that Dauntless boy. I put on the black clothes on underneath my grey, baggy ones, and hide the knives and gun in my satchel. I sit by the edge of the train, which is going through an escalated track, hanging my legs off the side, thinking about how tomorrow, this life could be mine.

And that's chapter two of The Beauty of One! Thank you all so much, please feel free to review, follow, and favorite, and share this story with your friends!
