Sorry i haven't uploaded for a few days, I've been busy, so here's Chapter 5!

Uriah's POV

When I wake up in the morning my head is pounding like there's a marching band in it, stomping and banging their drums all over my brain.

What happened last night. Oh yeah, I go drunk. I really am an idiot, the night before the Choosing Ceremony. I mean yeah, I knew what I was choosing, I just needed to get the conversation off my mind. I forgot it only lasts to I wake up. What am I going to do! If any adult finds out, well, I'm screwed.

To get it out of my mind I go and take a cold shower. I just realised something. How did I get home last night. I slightly remember talking to Lynn and Marlene, but that was when I was drunk. I turn off the shower and put on some clothes. They were slightly more nicer than I usually wear but, after all. It Was the Choosing Ceremony. Just the day where we were had to choose the rest of our lives. Nothing big at all.

Once I'm dressed I go to the dinning hall and grab a muffin before I head to the train tracks. Time to face the music.

"Uriah, I hope you feel better today, after last night and all" Lynn shouts at me as I approach. I run towards her before she can shout out anything else that would get me in deep trouble, however Eric steps towards me before I could Lynn.

"What happened last night, Uriah?" Eric questions me. Oh shit.

"I...err-"

"He wasn't very well. He was almost sick. It wasn't very pretty." Zeke came up behind Eric and butted in before I could come up with an excuse myself.

Eric didn't look like he believed us but before he could question us he train comes honking round the corner.

When we're on the train I search around the car looking for Marlene, Lynn and James. I find James talking to Jessica, Amy and Olive. They were sure to go to Candor, they were Always speaking their minds, telling people that they hate them and the reasons why. Once, Jessica went up to Lynn and told her she didn't like her because of her slim figure. She told her she thought she was underweight and ugly. Oh Jessica wasn't a pretty picture after me and Marlene were done with her.

I head over to James anyway.

"Hey James, mate, where'd ya head yesterday after we got back?" I asked purely interested because even though he said he was heading over to his house, he went in the wrong direction.

"I told you, I headed home" he snaps back at me.

"Yeah but you headed in the wrong direction" I counter back.

Really, why did he not trust me all of a sudden?

"Fine then, if you're REALLY interested I was going to Jessica's. You got a problem with that?"

I just shake my head and walk away.

Why Jessica, of all people. She hated our guts, and what had happened to James since the aptitude tests? It's like he hates us too now. Okay, Lynn and Marlene aren't on this car. Brilliant. I'm just gonna stand and try to not look like a loner.

I spot Ari and head over to her. A one point though my sixteen years of life I dated her. Now we're just friends.

"Hey, Uriah, are you staying in Dauntless? I know I am." she asked me in an excited tone. Typical Ari, she was always hyper almost all of the time, so you know if something is wrong.

"Yeah, obviously, who'd ya take me for?" I say, smiling at her.

"I was just checking, I heard about the 'incident' yesterday" she tells me, giving me a wink. I act dumb.

"What incident?"

"Don't play dumb with me Uriah, I know you got drunk last night, but don't worry. No one told me, I was just behind Lynn and Marlene when you blacked out. Luckily Lynn, Marlene and me where the only one's who saw, though they don't know I know." she tells me all this with a wink at the end.

"Oh, looks like trouble, Eric's speaking to your brother"

"What!" I say a bit loudly. I get a few looks from the people around me but I ignore them and turn around. Zeke's posture wasn't tense, it was all good, Zeke wasn't telling him about last night.

Finally the train slows down and I can escape off the train from any more questions from Ari.

After we're all off the train we head towards the building where a crowd of Candor's we're smoking. We head inside and push ourselves into the elevator. I'm squished between Amy and Ari and when we get to the right floor I push myself out of the elevator to get away from the awkwardness. We enter the room and it is arranged into circles. On the edges stand every sixteen-year-old from every fraction. Our decisions today will make us initiates and we'll become members if we complete initiation.

We stand ourselves in alphabetical order.

The responsibility of the Ceremony changes between each fraction every year. This year it's Abnegation's turn.

In front of us is a table with five metal bowls, each containing a substance that represents each fraction;

Water, Erudite

Earth, Amity

Lit Coals, Dauntless

Gray Stones, Abnegation

Glass, Candor

A leader of Abnegation clears his throat into the microphone, quieting everyone down so that he can speak.

"Welcome to the Choosing Ceremony. Welcome to the day we honour the democratic philosophy of our ancestors which tells us that Everyman has the right to choose his own way in the world. Our dependants are now sixteen. They stand on the precipice of Adulthood, and it is now up to them what kind of people they will be decades ago ideology, religious belief, race or nationalism that is to blame for a warring world"

I tune out. I've never been one for speeches, unless there main purpose is about me, which this isn't.

Finally he stops and one by one each sixteen-year-old has to step forward and walk into the middle of room.

The first to go up is an Amity girl, and she chooses, funnily enough, Amity.

A few people later it's all going smoothly, but then it's James' turn. He stumbles on his way to the bowls and when he's in the centre he looks between the Dauntless and Candor bowls.

Come on James, Choose Dauntless, Choose me and Lynn and Marlene and your family!

He cuts his hand and his blood falls onto the glass of the Candor bowl.

Shocked mumbles pass among the Dauntless, and among the Dauntless-born sixteen-year-old.

James, the bastard, the liar. He said he was with Dauntless, forever. With Me, Lynn and Marlene, his family...

Then a memory passes over me. Back to the train tracks. Only me, Marlene and Lynn said we would stay in Dauntless together.

Then another memory comes. On the train today of him being hostile and saying he was practically going out with Jessica. Now it all makes sense. He was cosy up to them because everyone new they would go to Candor-

"Caleb Prior" I hear the name of Beatrice's brother, stopping my thoughts in their tracks.

He steps forward, cuts his hand and his blood falls into the Erudite bowl, with no hesitation.

I hear cries of people from Abnegation of loosing a son. I look between Erudite and Abnegation, at the glares and smug faces I could see passing from one another. Abnegation had lost one of their own to Erudite, their rivals.

"Beatrice Prior" I hear.

She steps forward as if in deep thought. She takes the knife from the Abnegation man and cuts her hand. She hesitates between Dauntless and Abnegation, her blood dropping on the floor below her, mixing with the blood of others. Then she makes he choice. Her blood moves over to the Dauntless bowl, sizzling as it hits the burning coals. All of Abnegation and Dauntless stare in surprise as she moves over to stand besides Dauntless. An Abnegation moving to Dauntless.

This never happens, well it did two years ago but no one knows who that was. They probably got cut, too selfless. But Beatrice, she was something else, different. I could tell, I don't know how, but I just could...

So Please R&R, I've not had any so far and I'll like to know how I'm doing, Thanks!
