Choosingday Stories

Ariel Daven turned sixteen this month. Now, it was the end of the month. Today was Choosing Day. She could choose one of six paths for her future. One problem, Ariel is ITM. Five out of every hundred people in the population of Venus are ITM. That was her family.

"You must read. You must." Ella doesn't know who her father is. She was raised by just her mother, who, for some reason, is determined to make Ella read. For an Abnegation to even own books is a crime, let alone trying to read them. So why is Ella's mother endangering both her and her daughter? Just before Ella's sixteenth birthday, which is also Choosing Day, where she chooses what faction she will live in for the rest of her life, her mother reveals a huge secret - one that will change Ella's life forever. Ella wanted to choose Dauntless, but now she is unsure. Will she have the bravery she needs to join them? Because it's hard to know who you are when you don't know who your father is. People say choices are good. You can choose your own way in life. It's time for Ella to choose hers. I do not own the city or the factions. They are Veronica Roth's. However, all of the characters are mine. WARNING: Very slow updates!

In a dystopian future where all of our genes are the same, the only chance at uniqueness is gene manipulation, after you turn twenty-one you can choose everything, from your hair to your foot size to your name. The only problem is remaining mundane before then. Being bland, normal, used to come easy to 15602, until a new boy comes into her quadrant ready to make her shine like no one else.

Tobias Eaton has always been a withdrawn kid, never having a lot of friends, always sitting in the back of class. Yet, he was a famous child, his father being the head representative of the government. He was well known; his whole family was well known. But what the public didn't know was the horrors hidden away from prying eyes; that when the lights went out at night in the other homes, Marcus Eaton would strike his son brutally for anything he set his mind to. Evelyn, his poor, defenseless, mother, could do nothing about her husband's abusive tendencies, even when she did step in to save her son from a rather nasty whip. Even after, his mother would tell him as he cried that Abnegations were supposed to forgive, that he was raised to forgive everyone, no matter what the mistakes they made were. So why was it that Tobias Eaton couldn't bring himself to forgive his own father, his own kin? Marcus Eaton was dead to his son before he even realized it himself. Now, it was Tobias' turn to strike back. At 16 years old, he was ready for the choice that could change him forever, the choice that determined who he really was. He knew exactly where he was going, and it didn't involve him helping the poor and taking care of his father when he was older.
