Chapter two the choice
When I got home Sarah was waiting for me with her usual smile . "Leslie !! How'd it go ?" She asked while cooking steak for our dinner "Im actually not feeling very well ." I said going upstairs to my attic room . I sat down on my blue bed and got my sketch pad out from behind my dresser . I sat back down and started sketching the pool and the 3 women drowning . Suddenly in what seemed like 1 minute Sarah was knocking on my door telling me Rachel and her parents were here which meant it was time to go make the decision that changed my life . As I walked down the stairs I heard Rachel and her Parents talking happily and Openly "Well I'm so happy I could smile forever !" Rachel squealed . I sighed already getting a headache . As we walked towards the main building where Dauntless, Erudite, Abegtion , and Candor were all walking and some running to watch there 16 year old teenagers decide what faction they will live in for the rest of there lives or watch them become Faction less. I hugged Sarah goodbye and lined up next to Rachel . Our last names started with a , A so we were in the front which I hated . 5 people went before me , 3 picking Candor, and 2 picking Erudite . When Rachel was called she didn't even hesitate to let her blood fall into the Amity bowl . Horrified gasps came from her parents but really I wasn't surprised I always thought she was to cheerful . I gulped as I heard my name "Leslie Adams ." Our Governor called . I stepped up shaking as she slid the dagger over my tan palm dark red blood flowing out of the wound . I stepped up to the bowls and glanced at the candor bowl full of clear glass , the faction I grew up in , where Sarah the person who looked after me these last years lived, where my Mother and father perished in a raging fire . I glanced over at the Dauntless bowl, the faction of the brave where it was common for people to die , the faction that called to me everyday. I sighed and thrust my hand in between the 2 bowls letting 3 drips of blood fall to the floor gasps from the crowd before I moved my hand over to the coals letting my blood sizzle . I was truthful and I was brave.
