Ethie's Story -A Divergent Fanfic

Chapter 2

As I walk into the room I see a reclined chair in the centre and a chair next to it with a table with tools on it. There is also a monitor screen and different chords everywhere.

"Come sit down Ethel" she says kindly but firmly. She is from Candor, I can tell by her clothing.

I sit in the chair and try to relax as much as I can.

I try my best to zone out while she attached wires and things to my forehead.

"Okay Ethel drink this" she says and hands me a vile of clear fluid.

"What is it?" I ask clasping it with my fingers.

"Just drink it and find out."

I do as she says and then I close my eyes. When I open them I find my self standing in the empty cafeteria. I front of me there are two bowels, one contains a block of cheese, the other a knife.

"Choose" a voice behind me says.

"Why" I ask curiously, wondering what I would be choosing them for exactly.

"Choose!"

I guess this is part of the test so I go for the knife, although I absolutely hate violence I can't see what good cheese is ever going to do me in a situation.

I turn around to see where the voice is coming from but no one is there. Suddenly a dog appears growling and barking at me. It looks scary and I am frightened by it but I try to remain calm.'Dogs can smell fear' I tell myself.

I through the knife away. 'calm down' I start breathing normally but the dog continues growling and snarling at me and it starts to run towards me.

Think think think!

I try and remember anything I know about dogs. I know that they like to familiarize themselves with you before they trust you so I quickly kneel down and slowly extend my arm with a closed fist towards the charging dog.

It stops and sniffs my hand a bit.

My heart is pounding.

I close my eyes.

The dog starts licking my hand and panting happily. I scratch its ears and it licks my face.

Eww. I've never been much of a dog person. As I'm wiping it of I see a young girl standing at the other side of the room.

"Puppy!" She squeals excitedly.

"Stop little girl!" I yell but it's to late the dog is snarling and running up to her.

"Run!!" I shout but she doesn't respond.

Thinking quickly i put my fingers in my mouth and I whistle as loud as I can and hope that the dog will come back. It stops And turns around and runs back to me barking happily.

My scenery has changed now and I'm on a bus. A man with scars in his face is reading a newspaper and he turns to me and asks

"Do you know this man?"

He shows me the newspaper, the main article reads 'MAN COMMITS MUDER'

I don't know who he is but something about him is familiar like I should know him.

"He seems familiar" I reply honestly.

"Are you sure" he says grumbling obviously furious.

I'm terrified. He's threatening me and I don't know what to do. Suddenly I see my dad yelling at me instead of the man.

Calm down. Calm down. Your hallucinating.

"WELL DO YOU?!" I look up and see the man with scars now.

"No now that I think about it I've never seen him. " I say calmly.
