Chapter 1
It was 11 months after Janet, Max, Tanya, Percy, Jo and Reggie passed initiation and became full Dauntless. Currently, 4 of them were in the hub, at the choosing ceremony. ,meanwhile, the other 2 were standing by the net in the Dauntless compound. They were watching the ceremony on the TV, to see what kind of initiates they would be training. From what they saw, their initiates were;
5 Candor-borns
3 Erudite-borns
2 Amity-borns
The ceremony finished and the 3 instructors, Janet, Max and Lara, the Dauntless-born instructor, walked to the net. It was 15 minutes until the train arrived. Meanwhile, the group did a last test of the net
"So, transfer or Dauntless-born? What are your thoughts?" Asked Lara. This was responded with by two confused looks.
"The first jumper, do you think it will be a transfer or a Dauntless-born?" clarified Lara
"My bets are on a transfer." said Max
"Mine are on a Dauntless-born" said Lara "Max?"
"Mine are on someone who will become a good Dauntless member" said Max. They listened as there was a clatter of people landing on the building above, as well as the train horn sounding. They heard Lewis give the same speech as he had when they were initiates. After he finished, there was the sound of shuffling then a shout as a blur of black and white fell into the net. It was a small built boy, with blue eyes and brown hair which flopped over the centre of his face
"You're up" whispered Lara to Max, who moved forwards and helped the boy out of the net
"What's your name?" Asked Max "You can pick a new one, but you can only choose once"
"My name's Ollie" said the boy, pointlessly blowing his hair out his eyes only for it to fall back into his face.
"First jumper, Ollie" exclaimed Max. By now, a crowd of Dauntless had formed and they cheered the new initiate. After a Dauntless took Ollie away from the net, the next initiate jumped. As usual, transfers and Dauntless-borns took alternating turns. As each initiate fell, Max made a mental note of the initiates he and Janet would be training;
Ollie-Candor Transfer, M, brown, floppy hair. Talkative with the other initiates, including Dauntless-borns
May-Amity transfer, F, blonde hair cut short. Stereotypical Amity, chatty and friendly
Clarisse-Erudite transfer, F, Black shoulder length hair with blue eyes. Quiet, Doesn't talk to many others
Gabriel-Candor transfer, M, cocky rude, stared down Janet's top when she helped him out of the net (Try NOT to punch him thought Max)
Ryan-Candor transfer, M, short, blond hair. Friendly with Ollie, but shy when talking to Max and Janet
Thea-Erudite transfer, F, quite tall, with long brown hair in a ponytail Friendly with Clarisse and disgusted by Gabriel's behaviour towards her (Calling her sexist names)
Finn-Amity transfer, M, long black hair. Appears to be good friends with May. Quite confident talking with the other initiates, Max and Janet
Lyla-Candor transfer, F, red hair down to the middle of her back. Doesn't get on that well with the other initiates, but is courteous towards the instructors
Martyn- Candor transfer, M, frizzy brown hair, quite happy but a bit quiet
Laina-Erudite transfer, F, shoulder length blonde hair. Talks a lot to the instructors, but not much to the other instructors
After all the initiates were in the area next to the net, the 3 instructors began
"Dauntless-born with Lara, Transfers with us. Go!" said Janet
The Dauntless-born walked off with Lara, and the 10 transfers stayed behind
"I'm Max and this is Janet" said Max "Normally, I work as a medic, and Janet works in intelligence. However, during your initiation, we'll be your instructors."
"Now, follow us" said Janet. The pair led the initiates to the pit
"This is the pit" said Janet
"It's the centre of Dauntless life. Make sure not to fall into the chasm. There's someone who falls in most years. One person survived, apparently" said Max. This made the initiates exchange shocked/nervous looks. The two instructors then led the initiates to the dorms.
"These are your dorms for the entirety of your initiation" said Janet
"Boys or girls?" said Finn
"Both" Answered Max
This resulted in a few shocked shouts, as well as a laugh from Gabriel
"You find that funny?" asked Janet to Gabriel. This shut him up. They then walked through to the bathroom, which resulted in a few grossed out expressions.
"Get changed then come to the canteen" said Janet
After they left the pair went to the canteen. They sat with their friends. About 15 minutes later, the initiates entered the canteen. 10 minutes later, Ace walked over to them, wanting to talk to Max
"I've just got the files for the Erudite initiates" said Ace "And you might want to do a check up on Thea. Her file says she suffers from severe asthma, so I would check she has medication" Max nodded, then re-joined his friends. It was half an hour later when the initiates finished their meal. The initiates went out to the pit. Max approached Thea
"Thea, may I talk to you for a moment?" said Max. Thea nodded and the pair walked to near a wall.
"We just got your file from Erudite" said Max "And it says you suffer from asthma. Is this true?" Thea nodded
"Do you have medication?" Asked Max
"Yeah" said Thea
"Alright, that's good. Make sure to check in at the infirmary when you run out. I'm sure I'll be able to get you a supply" said Max
"Alright" said Thea "Is that all?"
"Yeah, off you go" said Max
Thea walked back to the other initiates. Max headed to his apartment. He found Janet sitting on the sofa. He had given her a key 10 months ago, and she was looking through a pile of folders
"Hey" greeted Max
"Hey" replied Janet "Initiate files" she said this holding up one of the folders
"Already talked to Thea about her asthma" said Max "Any other things?"
"Gabriel has got in trouble with Candor leadership on multiple occasions. Multiple counts of petty theft, public violence" said Janet "Other than that, there's nothing major" Max nodded
"Now, enough work" said Max "I do believe that it is movie night"
Janet smiled. The pair had an agreement that every second Thursday was movie night. After putting the folders onto the coffee table, she sat normally on the sofa.
"Your choice" she said
Max chose a film from the early 21st century called 'Kingsman. It was a movie the pair had seen a couple times before a few times, and they enjoyed it again. Afterwards, the pair had a small dinner then decided to call it a night, as they had a busy day the following day.
A/N: And that's the first chapter done! Hope you enjoyed it. Please remember to review. I'll see you in the next chapter. I'll try to publish the next chapter as soon as possible.
