You Have To Jump Before You Fall **DISCONTINUED**

Choosing

"How are you feeling?" Beatrice asks when I wake up. I realize that I'm in her room. I must have fallen asleep when Mrs. Prior was treating my wounds. She must have had Caleb carry me up here.

"I've certainly been better!" I say as I sit up. I get out of bed, and head toward the only bathroom in the house. I know where everything is, I literally spend most of my time here, just to avoid Him... I take a quick shower, and put my clothes on. Mrs. Prior does Beatrice's hair, then mine. A simple and classic Abnegation bun.

"You girls ready?" She asks. We nod slowly. We eat breakfast, then head toward the school. I hope He is here, so he can watch both of his children leave him.

"Hello Andrew, and Natalie, nice to see you," a woman in Erudite blue says.

"Hello Jeanine," Andrew says as he shakes her hand.

"I am guessing these are you children?" she says motioning to the three of us.

"Beatrice and Caleb are mine, this is Brianna Taylor, Beatrice's best friend," he explains.

"It's very nice to meet you Ms. Taylor," she says. Something is up with her, and I'm going to find out.

"You too," I say shaking her hand. She nods and walks away.

We find our seats, and we all sit down. Jeanine recites the speech that she probably says every year, then we go in reverse alphabetical order, from Z to A.

The names we go through are all a blur. All of the sudden my name is called. I get up and walk down the stairs to the stage.

I pick up the knife, and slit my hand, just enough to draw blood. I hold my hand in front of me for what seems like forever. The blood pools up in my palm, and I finally make my decision.

"Dauntless," the man that's announcing says. I quickly grab the napkin and band aid and walk toward the clapping and cheering Dauntless people. Brandon chooses Erudite.

Everyone else is a blur until Caleb. He chooses Erudite, and sits down next to my brother.

They call Beatrice's name, and she does exactly what I did. Hesitate. She finally chooses Dauntless. Everyone else is a blur, and everyone leaves to their respective headquarters.
