Candy

Chapter 7 - Think

Candy's POV

After the test I walk home in silence. I have to think. Even if I have already made my desicion I need to focus on my own thoughts. Dauntless and Erudite. I have never heard of anyone with more than one result. I tought it was impossible. It should be. That's what my mother told me.
My family. I haven't even been thinking of them. I can't imagine what they will think when they see my result. I know that even if the test results are a secret my mother has a work that allows her to see them. And she will tell father. She always does.
London. Wonder what she got. Probably Erudite. How could she've gotten anything else? I mean, she are the perfect Erudite in both thoughts and acts. And so are Lauren. But I wonder about Rose...she's not Erudite. Actually, I can't see her in any faction. She's not smart enough, not selfless or brave either. And she lies as mutch as I do. Maybe she's Amity. Kindness. That might fit her.
As I finish that thought I realize that I'm already home. There's a blue car outside our house. Are my parent's home? They never use to be. They are at work until eight. They always are. Wondering what's going on I open the door and walk in.

I see London and my parents sitting in the livingroom. Really, what's going on? What are they doing here? Is something wrong?
Then father starts speaking. "Regina told me you got a Dauntless result." I nod as he continues "But the result doesn't matter. You must choose Erudite. I will not allow you to pick anything else. You must think about the family. Think about your parents. You cant choose what you want to. You have responsibilities against your family. We need you to stay. Do you understand!?" I start crying. Why can't I do as I want? It's my future, my life.
I feel a cold hand drying my tears. I look up and see my mother. "You must pick Erudite, dear. I can't loose either of you. And after all, London already got Erudite as result. I don't think you will leave her." I look at London. Erudite. Of course. "Why do you want me to stay? London stays anyway. You wont loose her. So why can't you let me go?" I say trying to come up with right argues. But obviously it doesn't work.
"Candy Steiner! You will pick Erudite unless you want to get killed! I promise that if you leave us you will regret it! I am Erudite leader! I can make you fail initation! If you choose to leave, you will become Factionless!" Now father is threating me. And worst of all, I don't know that is it true. Can he really have the power to make me Factionless?
"I know you have been practising with your Dauntless friends. And I'm not judgeing you for doing that. But you must stop it. Tomorrow, after Choosing Ceremony, you will not be a child anymore. You must stop all that madness. Erudite don't do exerciseing." My mother is so rude. I have no idea how she knows, but I have to stand up for myself. "Why do I have to sacrifice myself? Why I have to give my dreams away just for making you happy?" "Adult's have dutyes. They have to put others before themselves. You have to choose Erudite. You owe us that." "Since when has this been Abnegation!?"
I'm so upset that I dont realize my sister has been talking. When I finally listen, I can only hear her last words "...so Candy you need to pick Erudite. You must be the child to stay." What are she talking about? Aren't she going to stay too?

"I think we have discussed this enough. You both are going to pick Erudite" father says. "This is best for you."
London nods and walks to her room. But when I turn around to follow her I feel a hand grab my shoulder. Father. He turns me around and says "I know this is hard to you. But everything is going to be fine. Okay?" He wants to hug me but I push him away. He looks sad and I feel sorry for him. But all consideration I feel for him disappears when he continues, this time sounding evil "You are not going to leave this house before your mother escort you to the Ceremony. And I took your plate away. You will be given a new one when you return to Erudite tomorrow." Now I do hate him.

I walk to my room. Because I'm grounded I have no chance of doing anything interesting so I decide to go to sleep. I need to focus tomorrow.
My head hits the pillow and I fall asleep in non time. The last thing I hear is my sister saying "Choose what you want. I love you anyway." But I'm already asleep. It might have been just a dream...

//Author's note//

Sooo...in next chapter Choosing Ceremony! I'm so excited! I still don't know what Candy or the others will choose. So this time the questions are simple:
-What will..
1) ..Candy choose?
2) ..London choose?
3) ..Rose choose?
4) ..Candy's Dauntless friends (Avery, Kayla, Tresia) choose?

I don't ask about Lauren 'cose I already know!
