Chapter 1

 "Would you like to know your results?" The Amity lady says, she looks worried. I nod.  "Well, you got Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite." She says, shaking her head, apparently some still don't appreciate and accept Divergent people. I thank her and leave. 

"Elizabeth? How was it?" My adoptive mother asks.

 I have a digital fake face, covering my tattoos; the ravens. I look different because of the mask. I've been hiding for 3 years. No one recognizes me. My adoptive mother lost her family during the war, so she took me in. 

Am I ready to see Tobias again? I wonder.  3 years ago, I was shot but David missed, he barely got my shoulder. I faked it. To protect them. 

"Mom, it was fine." I say and leave the room. 

This again? I'll be the "Stiff" again. 

In the morning I wake up to sunlight. I eat breakfast and prepare to go to Choosing Ceremony. I board the bus. When we get there, we arrange ourselves in alphabetical order, according to last name. 

Some Abnegation leaders start the speech I barely listen. Until I hear Elizabeth Lon. I walk up to the bowls. One leader hands me a knife. Mom, dad, I'm sorry I have to do this again. I touch the blade to my palm, this pain is easy compared to everything I've faced. I let my blood drip into the coals. I hope I'm ready to restart this.
