Roanne stood in the middle of the living room, her foot absentmindedly trailing circles in the plush carpet. She brought her fingers to her long, silky hair and brought it over one shoulder. It was the day of the Choosing Ceremony.

"We are so proud of you, Roanne," said her father. He spoke in his soft, careful voice. "Today is the day you truly become an Erudite," her mother said, her voice cracking at the end. Her mother glided forward and gently began braiding Roanne's hair. Her movements were precise, calculated.

"Thank you for raising me to be the person I am today, Father, Mother," Roanne looked into the faces of her parents. "And for teaching me all that I know."

They taught her, all right. They not only taught; they forced her to learn. Ever since she was two, Roanne was reciting multiplication tables, learning the alphabet with Shakespeare, and studying Faction History. She never had many friends, because every free minute was spent at her desk under the watchful eyes of her parents. Part of her resented her parents for not allowing her to have a normal childhood.

"Thank you for being a wonderful student," her father replied. Was that all they thought of her? Their only daughter, a student?
"Yes, once you begin working, your father may have a chance at becoming a councillor!" her mother smiled.

"Is that what I am to you, Father? A pawn to help you achieve your dream?" Roanne demanded. The nervous energy inside her erupted into anger.

"Xiao xing, Ruo-ahn. Jing tian hen johng yau," her father only spoke in Chinese when he was also emotional. Although he had fervently studied English for twenty years, his mother tongue still took over when he could not find the correct words in English.

Roanne's mother dropped Roanne's hair, leaving the end of the half-finished braid undone. "Come now, we must go if we are to be on time." Without waiting for a response from Roanne or her father, she left the room. Roanne knew there was plenty of time before the Ceremony started, and that her mother hated conflict and just wanted to diffuse the situation.

Without a glance at her father, Roanne followed her mother.

"Xiao xing, Ruo-ahn. Jing tian hen johng yau,": "Be careful, Roanne. Today is very important."

Yuki climbed out of the shower and dried off then got dressed. She brushed her hair out and put it in a pony tail then got dressed in a red dress with what she considered the ugliest mustard yellow jacket she's seen. After she was dressed she made breakfast, her father shuffled inside from their garden, he had been more quiet and reserved since her mother died a week ago.

She set the table and sat down, eating quietly. Her father didn't say a word, just ate then went back to doing morning chores, "Kyō wa jūyōdesu. Anata no hahaoya ga anata o hokori ni omou mono o erande kudasai." He murmured in Japanese. Looking up at his daughter with sad eyes.

Yuki frowned, "Hahaoya wa tasuke ga hitsuyōdeshita. Kanojo wa watashi ga shinu koto o nozonde ite, anata wa kanojo ya watashi o tasukeru tame ni nani mo shinakatta." She snapped back. She finished her breakfast and set the dish in the sink, "I'm leaving now. Whether you show up or not you won't see me after the ceremony." She headed outside, sticking her hands in her pockets as she walked.

After couple miles she took a train to get closer to the town. Once she was there she headed towards the building, looking up at it quietly before looking around. She knew which faction she was choosing today.

Kyō wa jūyōdesu. Anata no hahaoya ga anata o hokori ni omou mono o erande kudasai - Today is important. Know that whatever you choose your mother would be proud of you

Hahaoya wa tasuke ga hitsuyōdeshita. Kanojo wa watashi ga shinu koto o nozonde ite, anata wa kanojo ya watashi o tasukeru tame ni nani mo shinakatta. - Mother needed help. She wanted me to die and you did nothing to help her or me

[icycycle]

“Thank you,” Roanne murmured as a grey Abnegation woman stood up, allowing her to sit on the bus. This woman must have come from the furthest end of the Abnegation sector, because the Abnegation usually walked everywhere.

Roanne felt the warning hand of her father rest on her shoulder. An old lesson: never interact with the Abnegation because they’re not smart enough. They sat in silence as the Candor families chattered excitedly around them. There were a few familiar faces, but Roanne didn't have anything to say to them. Nobody except the Candor had words today.

As the bus pulled to a stop, the Abnegation shuffled around, allowing everyone else to disembark first. Roanne stepped off the bus and looked up at The Hub. It was what they called a skyscraper in her history books. Roanne followed her parents towards the building where they crowded into an elevator. They shot up to the top floor.

~~

"Ji zhu. Ni ji dao za xuan. Wo ai ni." Roanne's father drew her into a tight hug, and her mother gave her a light kiss on the forehead. There was no need for parting words, because they were not parting. The Ceremony lasted two hours, sometimes less if there weren't many kids to Choose that year. Roanne found her seat in the circle surrounding the room, and she watched as her parents greeted friends in the Erudite section.

"Roanne!" Roanne turned to see Janae Vick, a blonde girl from Candor who she knew from school. "Janae," Roanne smiled, relieved to see a familiar face.
"Are you ready?!" Janae was almost bouncing with excitement. "We're Choosing today!"
"Yes, I know. Why else would we all be here?" Roanne responded, then bit her lip. That was harsh, and she knew it. "I'm sorry, Janae. I'm really nervous. I didn't mean to snap like that," she tried to explain.

"Oh, no worries! I'm nervous too! What if I tripped walking to the stage? But I'm not nervous about the actual Choosing though! I obviously know that I'm staying in Candor, it's my home! I really don't understand those faction transfers! I mean, why would you leave behind everything you know? It's just stupid..."

Roanne turned, trying to tune Janae out. Candors really were huge blabbermouths.

"Ji zhu. Ni ji dao za xuan. Wo ai ni." --> "Remember. You know how to choose. I love you."
~~

"Janae Vick!" called Marcus Eaton, the leader of Abnegation. Roanne wiped her slick hands on her blue shirt as the blonde girl jumped up and practically ran towards the bowls. She watched as Marcus Eaton handed Janae the knife. Almost as soon as she had grasped the knife in her hand, her blood was already staining the Candor glass a deeper shade of red.

Roanne watched as Janae joined her parents and brother in the Candor section. Her mother squeezed her hands, and her father kissed the top of her head. Obviously Janae had done the right thing.

"Roanne Tran!" called Marcus Eaton.

For the first time in her life, Roanne didn't have a plan in her head. In fact, she didn't have the faintest idea on how today would turn out. As she took slow, measured steps towards the bowls, she tried to think.

Knowledge is power. Knowledge is right. Knowledge is strength.
Were those not the words painted on the wall above her bed at home? Her bed. She hadn't made it this morning.

Words are the most powerful weapon.
Marcus Eaton handed the knife to her. Roanne held it gently, running her finger against the flat side of the cold blade.

You are my daughter, and my daughter must learn!
Roanne turned towards the five bowls.

No daughter of mine shall refuse the teachings of an Erudite!
The words of her father when she had cried of exhaustion in the eleventh straight hour of studying.

Is it that hard?! Swim, damn it!
She turned to the bowl of pink water.

Water. She hated water.

Roanne slid the knife down her palm. As the first drop of crimson rolled off her hand, she shifted her weight towards the sizzling black coals of Dauntless.

Courage is power. Strength is power.

[_Human_]

Yuki shuffled in with everyone else, the bustling movement of dauntless pushing their way through, Candor and Erudite bumping against people as they tried to make it through, Abnegation letting everyone else go ahead of them so they could get good seats, and then, of course, Amity, excitedly filing in and taking their seats. She sat down and listened to the first part of the ceremony.

As the ceremony dragged on she looked around at Amity, hoping to see a familiar face of her father but she didn't see him. She sighed and shook her head, turning her head back to the ceremony. Once her name was called she stood and made her way down to the bowls. Taking the knife in her hand she took a breath and pressed the knife into her palm, ignoring the pain telling her she went a little to deep. She let the dark red drops sizzle onto the hot coals of dauntless's bowl.

Taking a napkin she took an empty seat by her new group, looking around at everyone and pressing the napkin into her palm. She put her attention back to the bowls as they continued the ceremony. As Roanne sat beside her, she had a few classes with her before, "Congratulations." She smiled softly at her. 'Might as well try and make a new friend since these people were her new family.

[icycycle]

Roanne had no idea how to react. She knew Yuki from school, but had never exchanged more than terse greetings before. Now, they were initiates together. Faction transfers.

"You too," Roanne finally said. After a pause, she was about to tack a smile on, but a whoop cut through the air. Whipping around, Roanne saw the older Dauntless beginning to disperse. To run.

"We're part of them now," Roanne said to Yuki. Roanne stood up and charged after the mass of black. She ignored the sea of blue next to them, and the wails of her mother as she ran.

[_Human_]

Yuki looked behind them as well and smiled, she nodded and got up. She glanced at the mass of amity one last time before shaking her head and charging after everyone else. She watched as they ran beside a moving train and jumped in, her heart was pounding. She was nervous but not afraid.

She swallowed and focused on not looking down as she climbed up the side of the tracks like the others. Pulling herself up, she joined a group running along side the train, huffing softly as she dragged behind a little bit.

~~~

Ash smiled as he watched the new initiates struggle to keep up with the older group. He hopped into the train and began helping some of the others on. The train slowly started picking up speed and he watched as some of the initiates struggled to keep up, "IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT ON." He bellowed out to the group, "YOU DON'T MAKE IT INTO DAUNTLESS." He held onto the side of the train, waiting to help the last few into his train car.

[icycycle]

Roanne jogged alongside the Dauntless. She knew what was coming next: she had read it in a book about faction traditions. They were going to jump onto a moving train. The Dauntless were absolutely giddy now, screaming and whooping. Roanne accidentally bumped elbows with a grey-clothed girl.

Abnegation?!

Confused, Roanne turned to look but the short, grey girl had disappeared into the crowd.

As Roanne burst out of the doors into the fresh air, she found herself running alongside a tall, Dauntless boy. He flashed a smile at her. "Pretty girl like you in Dauntless?"

Roanne ignored him. She had no time to bother with arrogant Dauntless boys right now.

"Aw, cmon! Faction transfer, eh? Think those legs got what it takes to get yourself on the train?" the boy winked, his hazel eyes illuminated by the sun. "Look, get yourself on that train, I'll buy you a cookie," the boy said.

"And if I don't get on the train?" Roanne asked through gritted teeth. She had no idea why this Dauntless boy was talking to her.

"No cookie! Oh, and factionless too," said the boy, flashing his dazzling white smile again.

The Dauntless were slowing down now, jogging alongside the edge of the track. Suddenly, Roanne could hear the whistling of an approaching train.

Another Dauntless-born boy yelled, "IF YOU DON'T MAKE IT ON, YOU DON'T MAKE IT INTO DAUNTLESS!"

Watching the Dauntless woman in front of her, Roanne copied her steps: jog alongside the train, and then swing yourself in. As she swung herself in, she heard the screaming and crying behind her. A boy was running as fast as he could, but the train was faster.

Roanne watched the boy grow smaller and smaller as the train sped away.
