I fought for my life while living with my uncle, who abused us children daily. I fought for the answer to the choice that would change my life forever- picking a home, staying in Abnegation with my abusive uncle, going with my cousin only for him to merge off into a new crowd- the Dauntless, or go to where the type of people and the knowledge, are in my blood- Erudite. I struggled to see the light in everything that was happening around me- the attacks on my family, the mind control, and the secrets. I struggled to fit in when my heart was obviously more reckless. I lost love, family, my heart- for this, this war plan. I lost Tobias, my sanity, my blood. I was part of this scheme, this war plan on Abnegation and the mind control over Dauntless; I wish I could say I had no idea of the danger- but I do, I know the full extent of the damage that has been done. I had a serious part in it, I worked side by side with the master minds and the rest of their evil genius goons. I became one but I still held onto one thing- and that one thing, is helping me end this war. Tobias. One Choice Decides your Friends- One Choice Defines Your Beliefs- One Choice Determines Your Loyalties Forever- But One Choice Never Dictates your Heart.Complete
