My name is Delia prior . My parent are the leader and ambassador of abnegation: Andrew and Natalia prior . I have two sisters and one brother , their names are :Beatrice , Maria and Caleb prior .

We born in the city called Chicago. Mom told us that it is a city after a Hundred Years' War. The purpose of the city is to protect the survivors and their children. Our ancestors also created the five faction systems to maintain the peace

The five factions are:abnegation, erudite, dauntless, Candor and amity. Every of them have their own purpose :abnegation provides us with selfless leaders, erudite provides us with technologies and educated teachers, dauntless provides us with protection within and without, Candor provides us with trustworthy leaders in law and amity provides us with foods and counsellors. Without any of them, we will have no purpose of living.

When the children reach 16 years old, they have to choose a faction. They can either to stay in their old faction or abandon them. However if we decide to leave our original faction, which mean that we forsake our family permanently.

After they finished choosing, they will not become members . We will become initiates and after training , then we will become official members.

"Delia, today we are having a party at dauntless headquarter. Do you want to come or stay at home with your dad and brother?" Mom knocks on the door

"I am coming. Just wait me for a minute." I say

I don't want to stay at home with my dad . I don't like him for no reasons. Caleb always following dad's footstep so I believe that even I leave then there at least one of us will stay for our parent.

"Okay, I will wait you downstair." Mom says

I put on a watch . That is the only decoration which I can have in abnegation because that is practical.

I sneak out of the room. Caleb comes out from his room

"Are you going?" He asks

"Yes of course." I say coldly.

"Have fun." Caleb returns back to his room

I get downstair . Beatrice , Maria and mom are waiting.

"We can't be late." Mom nods at me

"I am sorry." I apologize

We leave the house . When we arrive at the bus station, the bus just arrives

"Hey." Someone pats me on my back

"Hey Ted ?" I call him

Ted was my body guard before . He left a years ago because max asked him to go back.

"Why are you here?" I am surprised

"I was checking on the soldiers . My legs just got broken so I can't ride the train." Ted shrugs." Are you guys going to dauntless for the party?"

"Yes we are ." I smile at him

We get on the bus . I sit beside ted . Ted looks outside of the window

"I miss you." Ted sighs

"We missed you too. You are already a part of our family ." I pat him on his back.

"Do you missed me?" Ted looks at me painfully.

I nod at him. I see him as a bigger brother so I wished that he has not get other feeling for me

"Yes I do missed you as elder brother ."I say

"Only as elder brother?" Ted laughs coldly." No personal feeling for me."

"No ted , I only see you as friend please ."'I lower my head

We arrived at dauntless compound . Ted leads us into the compound . People are already there

"So many people." I exclaims

"Yes ." Ted says

Max walks toward us . He is the mafia boss of dauntless

"Hey Natalia . Are they your daughters!" Max says

"Yes she is my eldest one Delia , this one is tris and Maria ." Mom introduces me

I see a man is standing beside max . I am staring at him.

"Oh let me introduce him. He is my lieutenant. The youngest lieutenant in dauntless so far , Alan Davis ." Max points at the man

"Nice to see you Delia ." Alan takes out his hand

"Nice to see you too." I am blushing.

Tris and Maria are laughing. Beatrice is pretty interesting in my personal feeling.

"Why sister you are blushing." Beatrice pokes my cheek

"No I am not." I shake my head

"You are all red Delia." Mom sighs

I look around . Alan coughs a little . I look at him

"Do you want to go check around?" Alan asks

"Sure ." I nod at him." Thank you."

"Come with me ." Alan waves at me

I follow him. We walk for a long time . Now it is only me and him alone .

"So this is chasm. However you need to be careful. Dauntless even can't survive if they fall off the cliff" Alan grabs my arm.

"Interesting, however it is so pretty." I am surprised .

"Yeah it is pretty but sometime the pretty thing is also dangerous." Alan shakes his head

I look at him. He isn't really happy. Does he looks like this every single day?

"Are you a dauntless born or transfer?" I am wandering

"Never meet a curious abnegation before Delia ." Alan giggles." You are funny."

"Really? However you haven't answer my questions yet." I shrug.

Alan looks at me for a long time . He is cold . However I know that looking away means submissive . I am not a submissive person so I look into his eyes

"Who give you the courage to ask me questions?" Alan smirks

"Because you are so approachable." I say

"Be careful Delia." Alan leans into me ." I am not a safe person."

He leaves me and I am staring at his back. He is so cool but behind that coldness, I can feel that he has a long sad story.

"Are you okay?" A man stands beside me ." I am Sam Hobbes . I am also a lieutenant for dauntless. Alan is right. He isn't a safe person to deal with."

"Why?" I blink my eyes

"You are brave to ask this question. You will know one day if you transfer to dauntless." Sam smiles." I will walk you back to your mom."

I nod at him. We turn around . Ted is standing over there

"I will walk her back." Ted says coldly.

"Sure ." Sam says

I walk beside Ted . Ted isn't happy but I don't know why.

"Why are you talking to Alan?" Ted frowns

"I am just curious ." I shrug.

"Oh really? Just curious?" Ted looks at Me." Are you sure that is not because you are in love with him?"

I shake my head . Why will he thinks that way?

"No I am not in love with him." I say

"You are lying. You are all red Delia." Ted grabs my arm." Don't choose dauntless. You will regret it."

"Ted you have no right to tell me what to choose or not." I push him away .

I run back to my moms and sister. Mom is shocked

"Are you okay?" She is worried

"I am fine." I breath heavily." I don't want to stay here anymore"

"Just a few more minutes." Mom shakes her head ." Delia this is hana ."

I look at the woman. She is pretty.

"Hey Delia , I am hana . I am your mom's best friend." Hana takes out her hand

"Hey hana , I am Delia . Nice to meet you." I say

If mom was best friend with a dauntless, can she also be a dauntless? Sometime I really question that which faction did my mom really came from. I don't know

"I am the ambassador of dauntless." Hana smiles." Your mom is the greatest mom ever ."

"Yeah she is ." J lower my head

"Zeke and Uriah come and meet Delia and her family." Hana waves at two boys

Zeke and Uriah run toward us . Zeke is looking at me

"I know her . We are in the same math class." Zeke smiles at me

"Yeah we are ." I say

"Both of you are 16 years old." Hana chuckles

I and Zeke stand beside each other . I see Alan is standing above us .

"Zeke do you want to go have some fun." Alan waves at him

" I am coming. See you tomorrow Delia ." Zeke hugs me ." Nice to see you here?"

I can see a sense of jealousy from Alan. Why is he jealous ? Is he jealous of me or is he jealous because he thought that I took his friend away ?

"It's late . We have to go hana ." Mom holds Hana's hand." We will see each other soon."

"Okay see you . I will miss you." Hana hugs my mom

We leave dauntless headquarter . My mom can navigate easily . Can that be because she was from dauntless?

"Hana is dauntless born or ?" I ask

"She is dauntless born ." Mom nods at me

"How did you guys knew each other?" I am wandering

Mom looks at me for a long time. Maria holds my hand

"That is a privacy. Our mom doesn't want to answer it." Maria sighs

"Fine , I will not ask anymore." I roll my eye s

I am very impatient sometime and I know that it is my fault.

"Something I will have to tell you when we are alone." Mom kisses my forehead

We get back home very soon. Caleb and dad are in living room

"Are you guys having fun?" Dad stands up.

"Yes we are having a lot of fun." Beatrice nods at him

"Okay good." Dad says coldly.

I know that my dad wasn't expecting the answer

"Don't be a fool Andrew." Mom sighs." They are just kids."

"Yeah Delia is already 16." Dad points at me .

"It is my freedom." I scream

I hate abnegation. I hate everything here .

"Sister!" Caleb shouts at me

"Yeah you love our dad so you will stay here right? So I don't need to worry that if I leave , then people will attack you guys ." I laugh

"Delia!" Dad is angry.

I smirk at him. I run upstair into my room. I don't understand why dad was doing this to me ?
