Faction before blood had become her mantra ever since she came home from testing. You were highly encouraged to go to the faction you had the highest aptitude in. She knew she wouldn't stay in Amity. Her results told her as much. But she never in a million years thought she would be told she was dauntless. She wasn't very brave, not truly, she wasn't a known thrill seeker. But she was a known book worm, in her spare time she read anything she could get her hands on. Why wasn't she an erudite? Was she not smart enough? Was she not clever? Why had she failed so horribly to achieve what she so wanted. The questions and self pity seemed to be never ending as she tried unsuccessfully to fall asleep. She replayed her testing over and over willing her results to be different.
Eventually she had fallen to sleep only to be woken up what seemed like only minuets later by one of her mothers perpetual smiles.
"Up up up, you're wasting the morning away Astrid! You must get ready, today is a very important day. Today is the day you choose what path you take in life." Her mother stood in the door way to make sure she was actually getting up and once she was satisfied she actually was she headed off to the kitchen.
As she was changing into her most tight fitting orange pants ( which were still rather baggy for most factions ) and a long sleeved shirt a wave of guilt washed over her. Her mother and father would be understanding she was sure, but they would be sad. She was their youngest and their only daughter and she would be leaving them to start a new life in a new faction she didn't want. She had often thought of leaving home to live amongst the erudite, to start a family of her own with a comely boy with glasses, to wear ranges of blue that would surely bring out the tinges of red in her hair. But that was no longer an option for her. She wouldn't wear blue and there was no boy with glasses in her future. Only dauntless black. She watched as her parents got ready to escort her to the ceremony.
As her and her parents arrived her mothers face lost most it's seemingly sewn on smile.
"Astrid." Her mother whispered with watery eyes.
" You have to promise me you will choose what you think is right, don't try to please me or your father. We've both lived to see three boys happily choose amity, we've both seen five grand babies be born. You don't have to live a life you don't feel you belong in for us. Be you and be happy." Her mother held on to her face with her withered hands.
"I will momma, I want you to know I love you both and I'm going to do what I think is right." The white lie rolled off her tongue effortlessly as they walke closer to the opening in the building. Her parents both hugged her before finding somewhere for them all to sit in the spacious auditorium.
