Picture is what Emelia looks like. :)
"Ford, Emelia"
It was aptitude day.
I walked up to the small room when I heard my name. Greeted by a tall abnegation man he told me to take a seat and drink this strange liquid.
The next thing I know the man's gone, the chairs gone and everything goes black. I'm in the school cafeteria. On the table in front there is a hunk of cheese, and a knife. I hear a lady's voice telling me to choose. I immediately pick up the knife.
Suddenly, a dog appears. It looks big, vicious, scary! It starts growling and staring at me with blood red eyes. The dog starts running at me! I can only think to protect myself. So I throw the knife with bad technique I might add hoping it would lodge itself in the dog. It does.
The scene changes and I'm now on a bus. A man reading a newspaper points at a picture of someone I know to be a murderer. The man reading the newspaper says, "Have you seen this man before?" I think about the man from the picture. YES! I have seen him before. But where.... The man continues asking getting more and more violent each time until he grabs my shirt forcing the image into my face. I get more and more aggravated until I eventually snap and roughly push him off me.
Next thing I know I'm back in the testing room.
As I waited for the man to tell me my results I couldn't help but wonder what faction I would be in?
Candor? My home? No chance! I learnt early on that you could lie and get away with it easily. Helped that I was immune to the truth serum, although noone ever found that out. My biggest lie.
Abnegation? I am too selfish to live selfless. That shows by all my lies. Plus grey is not my colour.
Erudite? Possibly, I couldn't help but be smart, intelligent. But my smarts where more street than classroom.
Amity? I'm far to violent for a peaceful life. My immunity to truth serum also lends itself to Amity's bread. So that won't work.
And lastly, Dauntless? The free faction. I can run and fight (although messy when I do so). With the correct training could I survive there? I don't know.
The anticipation is killing me as I wait to be told. The abnegation man turns around with a hint of a sacred look.
