Catelyn

I watch as Genevieve walks over to the center of the room to make her choice. I look over at Natalie and Andrew Prior they look really hurt and dissapointed. I hear the gasps again from the Abnegations when Genevieve walks over to her sister beatrice who is sitting in the Dauntless section. Natalie has tears in her eyes. I do understand her, she lost all of her children in not even one hour.

"Thomas Edison" I snap out of my thoughts when I hear the name of my brother. I already get tears in my eyes because I know we are going to seperate.

"Hey, come here." Thomas hugs me tightly like he don't want to let go. I do the same I hug him tightly never wanting to let go. He is all I have and we're going our own ways already. I start to cry into his shoulders.

"Sshh, this is not our last time. We are gonna visit each other okay?" He whispers in my ear and I nod.

"Of Course, you can't get rid of your annoying sister." I look at his face and see that he is smiling softly.

"Who said I wanted to?" I smile, he wipes my tears and kisses my forehead.

He walks over to the center of the room and takes the knife. He presses the knife against his palm. He takes a deep breath and holds his hand above the Erudite bowl and his blood drips into the water. I hear the same gasps from the Abnegations. I already knew he was going to choose Erudite. he is very smart, just like Caleb.

"Catelyn Edison" I stand up and walk over to the center of the room.

I take the knife and press it against my palm. Without hesitation I hold my hand above the Dauntless bowl and watch my blood As it drips and sizzles on the coals. I again hear the same gasps and look over to my brother. He smiles at me and mouths 'be save'. I smile at him and nod. I walk over to the Dauntless and take a seat next to Genevieve. She smiles at me and I smile back while some of the Dauntless tap my shoulders and some of them say things like 'good choice' or 'you won't regret it'. Well I hope so because I can't choose again.

I keep looking at my brother. I can't believe that we are going to seperate. For 15 years we looked after each other without our parents. I was so used to him and now he isn't next to me anymore. He's not going to lay down, hug me, strake my hair and he's not going to say calm things in my ear when I have nightmares everynight. We are not going to have food fights anymore and I'm not going to end up cleaning everything on my own. I wish that he was with me but I know that's not gonna happen. Life is never fair for any of us, it never was...

I look at my brother one last time before I start running with everybody. We ran downstairs and all along the streets.

"This is awesome!" I hear Genevieve squeal. Everyone starts climbing up where the trainrails are. I see Beatrice and Genevieve already climbing. I start climbing and walk over to them.

"What are we going to do here?" Beatrice asks. I shrugged my shoulders.

"I have no idea." Genevieve mumbled confused. That's when we hear a loud noise, I look over my shoulder and see the train coming our way. My eyes grow big and I look over at the Dauntless-borns and see them running towards the other direction.

"C'mon run before we lose them. Hurry hurry!" I shout and we start running.

"Are they jumping on a moving train!?" Genevieve asks with a suprised voice.

"We have to do the same thing so we better get ready because the train is pretty fast!" I say when the train moves next to us.

Tris jumps on the train and holds her hand out for Genevieve. She takes her hand and she gets in the train. Beatrice holds her hand out for me too and I try to run a little faster and hold her hand while she pulls me in. I thank  her breathless and I sit down on the train floor. I look around at the dauntless borns, laughing and joking with each other, when I look at the transfers from different factions I see them silently looking around just like I do. Here I am in a train heading to the dauntless while my brother is heading to the Erudite. I hope we make it through all of this. I don't want this to be a waste. I lost my brother for this faction. So I need to make the best out of this.

Faction before blood...
