What If? (Divergent No War)

Chapter 53

Time Lapse (Aptitude tests)

Sky POV

I wake up to the sound of my alarm.

The Aptitude tests are today and I'm a nervous wreck.

I get out of bed and I go to brush my teeth.

I decide to wear some black sweatpants and a maroon V-neck. I put my hair in a messy bun at the top of my head and I decide to add a black studded bow.

I slip on my black converse and I'm ready to go.

I sit on my bed and try and calm my nerves before I have to go.

My mom comes in and sits next to me. She drapes an arm over my shoulders.

"Are you nervous?" She asks.

I nod.

"Don't be. I like to think of the test as a suggestion. If you want to be in a faction that isn't your result, you can still do it." Mom reassures me.

I give her a hug.

"Thanks Mom."

______Page Break______

School went by too fast.

Coach gave us a free period for gym because today was our last day.

My group sits in a circle, talking, when the final bell rings.

I take a deep breath and stand up.

Justin wraps an arm around my waist.

We have been dating since the day after my birthday.

We all walk to the cafeteria and sit at our usual table in the Dauntless section.

I'm not sure how much time has passed until the Erudite women calls my name.

"Hunter and Skyler Eaton."

Justin gives my hand a reassuring squeeze. I get up and Hunter follows.

She leads us to 2 seperate doors and motions for us to go inside. Then she is gone.

Hunter grabs my hand and give it a squeeze.

"Good luck Sky."

"You to Hunt."

We enter the rooms.

I open the door to see an Amity women sitting by a computer.

"Hello. My name is Autumn!" She smiles.

I give a weak smile back.

"Here. Drink this." She hands me a cup of blue-ish liquid.

I down it quickly. A bitter taste fills my mouth as the serum makes it's way down my dry throat.

"Good Luck Sky." Autumn says.

My world goes black.

______Page Break______

I open my eyes. I am in the cafeteria, but there are no tables or people.

"Choose!" A voice booms.

I whip around to see a knife and a peice of cheese, each in a basket.

"Why? What for?" I yell back.

"Choose!" The voice yells again. "You have 3 seconds!"

Just to be safe, I grab both, hiding the knife in the pocket of my sweatpants.

I hear a loud bark and I whip around.

A huge dog stands at the other end of the room.

I look for exits but they have all disappeared.
