Switched at the Choosing Ceremony

Chapter 8: Anna

        (A.N: I couldn't write a good book with the characters being like 5 yrs old. Now, they are 14, I skipped 8 years. Hope you don't mind. I think it will help with all the emotional things going on.) 

        My alarm rings at 6:00 and I get ready for training. As I walk towards the training room, I see Jen and wave to her. She comes towards me and we talk about the choosing ceremony. "I can't wait to do my apptitude test!"Jen exclaims. I say,"I bet you'll be Dauntless." She looks at me and responds with a nod signaling a "yea, I know" look. As we reach the training center, we see Kate and Cassandra talking it up, laughing their heads off. We ask them what's so funny and Kate says that they were talking about the apptitude test. "Everyone seems to be talking about the apptitude test lately," I say. All the others respond,"yea." Four walks in and he exclaims we will be practicing our gun aim. As always, we begin with little pistols. Kate, Jen, Cassandra and I all hit the target. Kate seems to be sleepy, she keeps on closing her eyes as if she's asleep and waking up.

Kate's POV:

        Ok, getting the hang of this new closing the eyes, seeing opponents weak spot thingy. Well, I don't SEE it but I just feel likes it's there. I lift the gun, close my eyes and fire. Dead center. Wow, that was good I think to myself. Jen walks over and tells me I look like I'm asleep. I tell her I'm concentrating, I don't want anyone to know about this thingy cause I don't even know what it is. We do one more round of bullets until Four introduces us to a new gun. It's about 1 1/2 feet long coated in a pure black paint. We stand still as Four selects the first one to try it. He chooses. It's me. I grab the gun and slowly walk towards the target. I hold it up, close my eyes. And shoot. Some how I could feel where to hold the gun. Must be the Dauntless within me.

(A.N: Kate has forgotten all about her Amity history. Hint: She will figure it out way further into the book.)

After everyone has gone, it's lunch time and we rush towards the cafiteria. Tomorrow is time to shoot bows and arrows.
