Peter is listening very carefully. He blinks his eyes fast . I can see the tear in his eyes are coming down. I give him a piece of tissue so he can wipe the tears off .
"What's that mean?" He asks again
"At beginning, you didn't choose the knife or the cheese which makes me unable to determine either you are dauntless or amity. However your knowledge about the dog told me about erudite , the faction which you came from. However running toward the dog to save the little girl told me dauntless and Abnegation and also certain level of amity. Sometime these three qualities don't override with each other ."I sigh . "Therefore , I can't make your decision at the stage one ."
"Then what you did ?" Peter frowns
I don't know how to explain this but I know that he is in a state of dangerous
"So I put you on the bus . Even when the man told you that truth can save him, you didn't even told him anything. Which is not a Candor act but don't worry , only Candor told the truth in that one ." I grab his arm and drag him toward the door. "Therefore you have the same aptitude for abnegation, erudite , dauntless , Candor and amity. These kind of people we called them divergent."
"What is ……"
I cover up his mouth. He can't ask me anything here
"Peter remember under no circumstance that you should tell anyone your result. Divergent is extremely dangerous ." I push him out of the door . "Go home now and think carefully. My suggestion is that you stay in erudite ."
I close the door and heave a sigh. Peter is divergent and Alexander is wrong: the divergent population are spreading over the whole entire city not only abnegation.
I sit down and tested few more . Yes more than half of abnegation are divergent but I wander why is that. I finished my test and exits the room. There is an erudite woman who is beside my room.
"Hey Delia." The woman waves at me
"Hey Susan." I wave at her
Susan was also dauntless born but transferred to erudite a year ago. She comes out of the room
"I found half of population of abnegation divergent Delia." Susan is worried
"Me too." I am shocked . There are more divergent in abnegation . "I have to go now Susan."
I don't know did Susan reported them verbally or not but I think that mark will suspect about tons of aptitude test mistakes . I run to the track and under the track , I start to climb
When I am on the top, I see a bunch of factionless standing over there
"Dauntless!" One of them say
I recognize him . We were in the same class but he failed even after stage one .
"William." I smirk. "How is your face? I think that I punch it not hard enough."
"You! You will pay for this ." He throws himself at me
I punch him again in his gut. He groan and falls on the ground .
"I am the ambassador right now . I always ranked first William. Don't think that you can beat me up." I laugh
One of them run toward me . I kick him on his face . He tripped and fall of the track .
The train comes and I run past them . I jump on one of them. I don't feel guilty of killing them because they are not my friends . Even during stage one , William tried to kill me by throwing me off the chasm. I sit down beside the door
When I arrive at the headquarter , I jump easily onto the roof and climb the way down .
"Delia , you are finally back." Jeremy comes to meet me . "Alexander wants to meet you ."
"I will go see him now . I want to talk to him for something too." I smile at Jeremy . "What job did you pick?"
"I picked the leadership in patrol program." Jeremy shrugs . "Not bad for the first day."
I run upstair to Alexander's office . He is resting. I take off my shirt and put on him. He is quiet old so he is not as energetic as before .
"Delia , you are finally back. What made you so long." Alexander sits up.
"I encountered several Factionless and they tried to attack me so I beat them away." I explain
"Good , so now tell me how many divergent there are ." Alexander says quietly
I hand him a piece of paper . I documented each divergent that I have found out.
"Some of them only have one but their pattern is very irregular . I can't be sure for hundred percent but very high possibility." I shake my head
Alexander takes it and look at it. He frowns through the process of it.
"So now , dauntless also have the second highest population of divergent . Is that what you got from other examiners?" Alexander asks
"Yeah , because I am dauntless so I can't test those of the initiates from dauntless . I ask my friends Susan who transferred to erudite . She has most dauntless initiates record ." I bite my lips .
"You did good . Tomorrow at the choosing ceremony. You have to make a speech then the leader of abnegation will take care of it." Alexander coughs . "I am not going."
I nod at him. I stand up and leave the room. Joshua is waiting for me to go to dinner with him
"Do you want to go for a date with me?" Joshua smiles
"That is so of sudden Joshua?" I am surprised . "Are you seriously of asking me out?"
"Yeah I am ." Joshua nods at me.
I don't know what feeling I have toward Joshua but definitely not romantic
" I don't think now it is time Joshua . I and your dad felt something is going to happen soon. Can we go after everything are settled?"I ask
"Sure Delia . It's up to you." Joshua pats me on the back
We finished dinner briefly and I go back to my own room. I take a shower and fall a sleep so quickly. When I am awake , I see a cat standing beside my bed
"Are you hungry?" I get up and walk to the kitchen
The cat jumps on the counter and I give her something to eat from my left over .
"Do you want to stay here with me ?" I brush her fur.
It licks my finger just like the dog in the simulation when I went under. The only difference is that the cat is real but dog isn't .
The second morning the cat is still there . I dressed up in my formal uniform and i sneak out the room with bread in hand . I walk toward the roof top .
I am the first one out of the compound today . The train past quickly and I catch the first train car ahead of me . I stand beside the door and don't sit down. The train speed up and I stumble to my feet.
I sigh with relief when I lower my body to steady myself . The wind is warm . When I arrive in abnegation sector , I know that I am just on time .
I jog toward the towel which hold the ceremony. I enter the elevator with bunch of amity and pressing 20th floor . The elevator climbs fast and soon I am in front of the room
"Hey Delia ." Mark walks toward me z "the first real duty for you today."
"Yeah I know mark . I can do it." I smile at him
"Yeah we all believe you." Mark squeezes my arms . "There are so many verbally reported result from the aptitude test ran by you. I will have to check them out one by one ."
I believe that I have deleted all the footage so even if he checked it, then it will be fine .
"It's up to you sir . I know the simulation was developed by the erudite so I have no concern for your purpose ." I beckon to him .
I walk on the stage . I clap my hand twice and everyone are quiet. I wear a pair of black boots because I can't run in the high heel. Joshua is there to accompany me .
"So we believe in the Factionbeforeblood very seriously in dauntless and all over other faction . I believe that those of you who know where you belong deserve a better future ." I say proudly . "Let the choosing ceremony begin."
I walk off the stage and the leader of abnegation mike walks on the stage .
"Jason walker ."
Jason walker is from abnegation. He walks slowly to the stage . Suddenly he falls on the ground and dauntless are laughing
"Shut up." I scream
I walk toward him and help him up. He is staring at me like an animal. He then walks on to the stage and takes the knife from Mike .
He then walks to the middle of the room and cuts his palm opens. The blood comes out fast and he holds his hand up. Wait, that is not the direction of abnegation bowl. He is choosing another one .
"Dauntless."
I hear the sound of sizzling coal. He chose dauntless . All dauntless erupts into shout and cheer . He walks toward my direction. I hand him a bandage .
"Welcome to dauntless ." I smile at him
"Thank you for helping me ." He sits down
The second one is Peter . He is the erudite boy who I tested for . He chose dauntless as well.I look at him while he walks off the stage .
He sits down beside Jason. I don't even greeted him. He is choosing a wrong faction. He will have no where to go if they find out what he is . I cough a little .
Then amity girl goes up and she chooses amity. Another abnegation boy up, he is jason's brother because he also has a family name walker .
"Dauntless."
Two kids from the same family choose the same faction. Jason walker shivers a little. Is he afraid of his brother?
"Don't worry." I shake my head
"Okay yeah." Jason snorts
The ceremony finally finished . I and Joshua have to take them back . All the dauntless born stays in dauntless and I am happy with it. However some of them are divergent and that is what worried about me as well
"Let's go!" I wave my hand .
