Tris Prior's Selection

Chapter Five-Leaving

Tris' POV

It's 7:30am when the knock on the door comes, me and my parents have been expecting it for over an hour but still I feel scared when my father let's a palace guard through the door with his camouflage army style uniform and a black gun with no attempt at concealment hanging off his belt. Quickly, in the broken bathroom mirror, I scan over my appearance. The clothes Four gave me and my straight long hair free like usual due to the fact we have no elastic bands to tie it up, let alone actual hair elastic that doesn't tear your hair out when you remove them.

"I'm here for Miss Beatrice Prior, she is only allowed one bag or suitcase of belongings." The guard states in a formal voice. I walk out of the bathroom, shaking as I pick up the small material side bag in which I have a small brass ring my grandmother gave me and a Swiss Army knife that I found in Dauntless. The guard doesn't show any emotion when he sees me, just orders for goodbyes to be completed and for me to follow him when I'm done.

"Beatrice, don't drop out of this for anything, you hear me, anything, you can't afford to. Just be yourself." Moms voice varies from determined to about to break down and she continues with what I should and shouldn't do before I cut her off with a hug, doing he same to my father and leaving. Knowing it will be best if I don't get emotional. I have to be strong and show people that people from Abnegation aren't useless.

*teleport forwards in time, or just pretend*

The car journey is long and quiet, and I'm glad when we stop outside the city train station, and the start of a journey that will take only around an hour to the palace where all the citizens who want too, will go to catch a glimpse of the selected girls in real life." The guard comes to open my door but I get out before he get, earning a glare from the other girls who have already arrived, I quickly count, I'm the last one.

All the other girls are wearing either full length dresses or shorter ones with so many gems on I'm almost blinded. I'm the only one in a plain dress, and the only one in light blue. All the others are in deep blues, purples and reds.

"Okay, when I call your name please board the train, with the help of one of the guards if needed. Lady Patricia Haydes, Dauntless." She is wearing a blood red dress and has long black hair, completely stunning, though her eyes are cold and evil.

"Myra Berla, Erudite." She's skinny and looks scared and nervous.

"Molly Wilson, Candor." Chunky, and wearing a dress that clearly shows that.

"Marlene Sussum, Dauntless." The first name called on TV, she's looks just as amazing as she did on the screen.

"Shauna Mayhew." Shauna has the same hair as Marlene but is taller and has a stronger build.

"Christina Williams." Christina has black hair in a bob style that is longer at the front than the back with an amazing purple dress on with an open back.

"Beatrice Prior." I step up, carrying my side bag and step aboard the train, ignoring the offered help. As I enter the train I see what it is called, The Chasm.
