Number of words: 5717
(Like I said you can skip the first half.)

It was the day of the choosing ceremony. A slight over cast, slightly sunny, but warm day. The day that everyone at the age of 18 all around and inside the city walls had to choose their fate. What they would stick with for life. Who they would come to be. What they would come to be. Their new life. And once the choice was made. There was no going back.

Brandon glanced quickly at her sister as they walked into what must've been a courtroom at some point with layers and layers of chairs pushing back against the wall for about 30 rows that were majority filled with the parents of the teens. Then there was a big, broad, stage with five cobblestone bowls in front with the symbol for the sectors. One of which was smoking though. To show it's dominance. She thought it was the brave. Because as far as she knew they were one of the top sectors.

Next there was a knife laying there, glinting a little against the spotlights that shone on the annicial area as there was no sunlight. There was an old saying, sector before blood. That's why one had to cut into the side of their hand with the blade and let their blood drip onto a certain sector that they'd now be devoted to.

Harumi glanced back at her few seconds younger. She was a nervous wreck. She didn't know which one to choose. Definitely one of the main three. Harmony. Virtuous. Dauntless. Which one did she feel was right? She didn't. She was uncertain of how the wrong choice could change the course of her life forever in an endless spiral downwards to her breaking point. To end it all. She bit at her fingernails a bit, it being a nervous habit. Harumi glanced at the Dauntless section. Then the Intelligence. The the Virtuous. Then the Harmony. And then of course the Indulgent.

She noticed all of them were talking with smiles on their faces that went from ear to ear as she continued down one of the front isles. They weren't nervous at all and that's what scared her. Was it really supposed to be that easy? But with the way she thought it was now harder? To the point that she'd feel the whole weight of the world on her shoulders when it was her turn? Even now. She could feel herself get heavier and heavier with every step she took towards her parents up in about the 10th row of the Indulgent section.

'All ones walking in please report to your assigned sector area. Thank you.'

A loud speaker echoed throughout what used to most likely be a courtroom with the tall, rising pillars that shot up to the rafters in the ceiling. Though the voice was only just loud enough for everyone to hear. It was barley visable. Harumi did as she was told and silently turned, avoiding contact with anyone as she stepped up a high, dark midnight blue carpeted ramp up to where her parents sat. And just as she got there to sit down on her slightly burnt seat that's carpeting was ripped off, she noticed one of the Virtuous leaders approach them.

She had a orange like blonde, straightened perfectly and pointed and curved at a perfect angle against her long, but proportional face. She had scortching blue eyes, and wore a deep midnight blue suit with golden buttons that almost matched the carpet. Her name was Nichole.

"Hello. Anthony." Nichole approached her father with an iffy looking face. Harumi suspected she was up to something. Which she definitely was. She could see it just in her expression. As she thought she was the boss of everyone. But she was kept in her place one way or another.
