I stab my eggs with my fork repeatedly.

The whole cafeteria has a strange air to it. Its almost silent. Which is saying something, because, well... we're Dauntless.

"So today," Mum begins. "If, and I mean if because you don't have to, and your father an I wi-"

"Mum, get to the point!" I say.

"If yoiu decide to stay in Dauntless, your father and I might be your instructors. So that means, you'll have to call us Four and Six. Got it?"

"Yup." Tobin says before shoveling another mouthful of cake into his mouth.

"Got it." I tell her.

"But, you're going to stay?" Tori asks. "Right? You won't leave us?" I look at her to see that she isn't asking Tobin. Shes asking me.

"Of course I'm staying!" I hug her. "I wouldn't leave you if they offered me all the Daunless cake in the world!"

She laughs knowing how muck the Eaton's love to be 'eaton' cake.

I remember when Uriah first came up with that.

"Hey guys!" Uriah announces from the other end of the table.

Mum, Dad, Tobin, Tayla, Tori and I all sit eating Dauntless cake.

"The Eaton's are 'eaton' I see." He says empathizing his play-on-words.

Dad just shakes his head whilst a seven-year-old Tori giggles.

I'm definitely staying. Dauntless is where my memories, friends, family, past and present are. And my future is certainly going to be here too.

"What are we going to do?" Mum looks at me like I've grown a second head in the form of a potato. "You know, because we look alike?"

Mums mouth forms an 'o' shape before she shrugs.

I sit thinking for a few second. Suddenly I'm hit with an idea.

"When do we need to catvch the train?"

Dad looks at the thing on his wrist the Erudite call a 'watch'.

"Three-quaters of an hour." He awnsers.

"Perfect! I'll meet you guys at the tracks?"

"Ummm, I guess?" Mum asks more than says.

I stand up and start to walk away.

"Wait! Where're you going to?" Dad calls after me.

"You'll find out!" I shout back before walking out of the cafeteria.

"Hello, welcome to Dauntless Doos, what may I do for you today?" The overly cheery hairdresser asks.

Probably an Amity transfer. I think.

I tell the girl what I want and she sits me in the chair.

"So Ten, big decision today, huh?" Sometimes I hate the fact that my parents are prodigies. Sometimes I like it. There's pro's and con's.

"Yeah, I mean, I already know what I'm going to pick, but... but, I don't know." I tell the girl, Yahni.

I see Yahni nod in the mirror, eyes focused on not messing up.

"I know what you mean." She told me. "When it was my choosing day I knew that I'd pick Dauntless because it was the result I received, but I still felt bad because I'd left my family behind in Amity."

Bingo!

"Oh no! I'm not leaving!" I informed her.

"I didn't say you where going to." Her eyes met mine in the mirror. "Tessa, your the most Dauntless person I know. In the Dauntless Manifesto it says, 'we believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.'." She recites to me.

I nod. Not quite following.

"That's you Tessa. That's you and a whole lot more." I spin the chair and face her. "Eric thinks that he's a true Dauntless? But would he stand up for someone that wasn't himself?" I shake my head? "But you would Tessa. You'd do anything for someone you loved. If you believed it was the best thing for the people you loved you'd do it. Even if it meant you'd get hurt!"

"Yahni? What are you trying to say?"

She looks around and eyes the camera in the corner.

She leans in close. "All I'm saying is," her lips tickle my ear as she talks. "All good Dauntless have to be Abnegation."

My eyes widen in realisation.

"Maybe some Erudite." She adds. "All I'm trying to say is that you fit that."

"What are you acussing me of?" I prod gently as she spins me around to continue with my hair.

"I'm not acussing you of anything, other than being able to save a lot of people dieing."

"What do you mean?" (A/N WHAT DO YOU MEAN?)

"You'll say us one day Tessa. You'll set us all free. I know people like you, your mother. You fight for what's right. I know you will."

I sit in silence for awhile whilst she finishes my hair.

"There we go. All done." She tells me.

"Thank you. How much do I owe you?"

She ignores my question. "Tessa, what I said..."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to repeat it."

"No!" She almost yells. "No," She says mor calmly. "After initiation try for leadership. I heard Max the other day say that they were looking for fresh blood. If you get on leadership, you'll be respected. More so than you are now. You'll be know because of who you are. Not who your parents are. Tessa, you could change Dauntless. For the better."

I nod my head.

"At least, consider it?"

I nod once again and take out my dauntless-credit card. "How much?"

"Its on the house. Just don't tell anyone or I'll go broke." I laugh.

"Thank you."

"No. Thank you." I want to ask more but a bell goes off. "You better get going."

I nod a goodbye before walking to the tracks.

I wanna make a shout out to my bestie Bayfoofromauz . I just wanted to tell you how awesome you are. Never forget that.

I finished the Maze runner yesterday and oh my klunk! WICKED is not shuckin' good! That's a pile of klunk! Those shanks are gonna pay for putting Newt in that Maze! (Newts like my baby) their gonna wish them and their shuck faces had never been born when I'm done with them!

I was going to put a reference in here but then realized it would fit so much better in the next chapter.

Also. Check out hotbliss 's story. I think its called 'fighting' but its sick. Even if it is one chapter at the moment. Plus. I think I'm going to be in it. I'll most likely be the crazy one going round making THG, Divergent and now TMR references.

And jordynallen17 's book, 'the heir to their saddle'. I kinda sorta maybe gave her the idea for chapter three. Don't judge my mind! I know they're only like 13 or something but I thought it'd be funny.

Peace out!
