Will
Divergent. The one word that describes me, and it could end up killing me. Tomorrow I will decide my fate and I have no idea what I’m going to choose.
Candor, and Amity have never been an option for me. Erudite is out too, I’ve always hated those good for nothing know-it-alls. I still can't figure out why that was one of my aptitude results. I know what my dad wants, what parent would want their son to switch factions, but I’ve never felt like I fit in with the Abnegation.
I spend the entire night staring at the little blue sculpture, that my mom gave to me before she died. When I look at it i feel like she is here, giving me advice. I never did figure out how she died and I’m not sure I want to know. From what my dad told me, she was a perfect Abnegation, and I don't even remember her. We have no pictures in our house, so I’ve never even seen what she looks like. I try to think of her as i try to make the decision.
Before I know it the sun is rising and I have to take the bus to the choosing ceremony. The ride takes longer than usual and we have to walk up the stairs, I guess we are to selfless to take a spot in the elevator.
The ceremony starts when my dad makes a speech about the factions, then he calls name after name until he says my name, William Prior. I walk onto the stage and take a knife. I look at the Abnegation stones and Dauntless coals, I look at my dad and at the Dauntless crowd. I instantly know what I need to do, I cut my hand, hold it over the coals, I hear my blood sizzling on the hot coals, and I hear the Abnegation gasp.
I walk over to the other Dauntless transfers, keeping my head down. I can’t tell what or why but something just feels right about this choice.
