FOUR
Lyanna came to with a start, mostly because the sound of her father's wood hammer banging against the board was what brought her back, her ears rang with the banging noise and her head hurt. Her green orbs peered to her right, catching the sight of her aunt with a worried look on her face as she pressed her lips together in a frown.
"What's wrong?" she inquired groggily, Tiana-s head snapped to the awake teen and Lyanna watched as the older redhead gave her a fake smile, "Nothing dear, everything is alright." Lie. Lyanna knew her relative's words were a bold lie, even if she hadn't given her a fake smile she would have known.
"What's wrong?" Lyanna pressed, forcing her heavy body to sit up straighter, her tone demanding yet simultaneously pleading, something that made Tiana uncomfortable, her slender hand gently grabbed Lyanna's and her steel eyes met her green ones, "You're worrying me..." Lyanna told her relative, she could hear her blood rush through her ears as well as her thundering heart.
"You can't share your result with anyone. Not only now but in the future." Tiana started, her grip on Lyanna's hand tightening, "Never. It will end up very badly if you do." worry grew in Lyanna's chest as her relative spoke, she wasn't understanding anything meaning that was being said. Then after taking a deep breath, Tiana continues "Your results were very inconclusive. Typically, each stage of the simulation eliminates one or more of the factions, but in your case, only one has been ruled out."
Lyanna frowned at her words, her brain failing to formulate a simple inquiry as to what Tiana was talking about, allowing Tiana to add "If you had shown an automatic distaste for the knife and selected the cheese, the simulation would have led you to a different scenario that confirmed your aptitude for Amity. That didn't happen, which is why Amity is out."
At this Lyanna was able to nod, she knew she wasn't cut to be Amity, she just wasn't all rainbows and sunshine all the time.
"Normally, the simulation progresses in a linear fashion, isolating one faction by ruling out the rest. The choices you made pointed to textbook Candor, as I thought you were going to be, to be honest, your honesty even if you don't remember the case, which you had no way of knowing as it was a simulation, was remarkable."
Candor, that was a great Faction, granted she was biased but it was, at least in her opinion.
"You threw yourself on the dog rather than let it attack the little girl, which is an Abnegation-oriented response, which given the fact that sometimes you're a little too Abnegation due to your mother is completely understandable. Not running from the dog suggests Dauntless, but so does taking the knife, which you didn't do, although the usual fight or flight reaction Dauntless usually has was present."
Abnegation and Dauntless, two Factions so completely and entirely different from each other but simultaneously two Factions that could be used to describe Lyanna as she grew, so kind and giving yet so ruthless and brute when needed.
"Your intelligent response to the dog indicates strong alignment with the Erudite, and given that you are one of the top students in your class, even surpassing most Erudite, or so I've heard is completely expected."
Lyanna never saw herself in Erudite so this came to quite a shock, granted that sometimes she was the biggest nerd in Candor but never in a million years would she have thought she would have an aptitude for Erudite.
"People who get this kind of result are..." Tiana looked over at the door like she expects someone to appear. "...are called...Divergent." The last word uttered so quietly that Lyanna almost didn't hear it. Now Lyanna understood her relative's worry, she understood the fear in her eyes and the urgency of her words.
Slowly the 16-year-old nodded, letting the older ginger know that she understood where she stood, then without any warning, Tiana wrapped her arms around Lyanna, hugging her tightly for a few seconds before she pulled away, just in time as the door opened.
"Finished?" the man inquired, Tiana nods and the man motions for Lyanna to follow him, slowly, yet surely, Lyanna slipped off the chair and with one last glance at her relative, she shuffled after the man and back into the cafeteria, this time only it was packed with people, meaning she was definitely back to reality.
