Caleb's P.O.V.

"Good morning. How are you?" I asked my mother as I came downstairs.

"Good morning Caleb, I'm fine, thank you," she said. "Are you nervous for your test today?" she asked.

"Well nervous is one word you could you," I said.

I was beyond nervous. This test would determine what my future would look like. If I stayed with my family or not. It determined which faction I would go to.

My sister, Beatrice came downstairs and sat down with us as our father cooked breakfast. I was sure that she would not stay in Abnegation. I could tell that she felt too oppressed here.

Beatrice and I said goodbye to our parents and climbed onto a bus to go to school. I gave up my seat to a Candor man, because in our faction, we put others needs before ours.

We had a half day of school before the test. I said goodbye to Beatrice and headed to Faction History. I had always liked school, learning new things and soaking up knowledge.

I sat next to a Candor boy name Peter Hayes. " Oh goody a stiff," he said in the sarcastic way that only Candor's speak in.

"Please don't call me that," I said.

"What's gonna stop me, stiff," Peter said. I choose to just ignore him for the rest of class.

"Caleb Prior and Robert Black," called the Abnegation lady.

I walked into the testing room and saw an Erudite lady standing in the room.

"Hello, Caleb, I'm Christy," she said. "Are you ready for your test?"

"Not really," I said. Christy laughed.

"Just sit here and drink this liquid," she said gesturing to the chair in the middle of the room and held up a vial.

"What's in that?" I asked.

"It wont hurt you," Christy said. "I've never met an Abnegation with so many questions. Now drink up!"

I raised the vial to my lips and and drank the strange liquid.

I was in a room with a table with a knife and cheese on it.

"Choose!" Christy's voice came from somewhere. "CHOOSE!" she said again. I didn't move.."Fine don't choose," she said. The cheese and the knife vanished and a growling dog came into the room.

I remembered reading that making eye contact with an animal showed aggression. I lay down on the ground and felt the dogs breath on my hand. Then it started licking it. I smiled. The dog wasn't so bad.

Suddenly a little girl came running yelling "Puppy!"

"No!" I jumped and grabbed the girl away from the dog.

The scene then changed. I was on a bus with a man reading a newspaper. The headline said 'Murderer Found'.

"Do you know this man?" the person on the bus asked. The man did look a bit familiar.

"No," I said, trying not to get into trouble

"But you don't understand! This could save me!" he said.

"I really don't know," I said. Then everything vanished.

"This may come as a surprise to you, Caleb but you are Erudite," said Christy.

I felt all the blood drain from my face. I belonged to the faction hated the most by my parents. I have betrayed my faction.
