Chapter 1

Tris POV

I've been living in Dauntless for 2 years now. Tobias and I got married 6 months ago and we are going strong. Today, the initiates are arriving.

"So who do you think is going to be the first jumper?" Tobias asked.

"Most likely a Dauntless-born," I reply.

"Maybe it will be a surprise this year," smirked Tobias.

We head out me and Tobias's apartment, hand in hand. We walk through the sea of black clothing, tattoos, and piercings searching for the net where the first jumper will land, along with the rest of the initiates, of course.

We meet up with Christina and Will. They are kissing passionately.

"Get a room!" I shout at them.

"Maybe we will!" Will says blushing.

They then join us on our walk to the huge net by the opening in the ceiling. We can then hear the loud noise of the train coming in, I know that someone could lose their life as they jump on to the building, I then get the picture in my mind of the girl who fell to her death as she made the jump on to the building back in my initiation.

"Well and here they come, let's hope that they are not a bunch of pansycakes!" exclaims Christina.

When the first jumper shoots down from the ceiling, you can see the Erudite blue uniforms that the Erudite usually wear. When he lands on the net, I offer my hand and when he takes it, he looks up into my eyes and then looks me up and down. Tobias gives him a death glare, he then looks away. I see that he has dark brown hair and has sea green eyes.

"What's your name?" I ask. He looks at me with a thinking look.

"Think about it, this is your only chance to change it," I say again. Then he looks at me and smiles.

"Ash, my name is Ash," he responds. He then looks around.

"First jumper- Ash!" I yell out to the crowd of black that surrounds me. The whole Dauntless crowd gives loud whoops and they pump their fists into the air.

Then the rest are more Erudite, Amity, Candor, Dauntless-born, and some Abnegation that look small, just like I first did.

The second jumper was a Candor. Her name is Kylie; she has dirty blond hair and blue eyes. I can tell she won't be a problem.

The third jumper was Abnegation. His name is Tommie; he has black hair and brown eyes. I have a feeling that I will be helping him in the training room when we learn to fight.

The fourth jumper is Abnegation. Her name is Jenn; she has blonde hair and gray eyes. She is very quiet and small.

The fifth jumper is from Candor. Her name is Brittany; she has brown hair and hazel eyes. From the way she looks at Tobias and then the way she looks at me, I figured I needed to keep an eye on her.

The sixth jumper is from Amity. His name is Jared; his shiny blonde hair reflects the sunlight that shines through the ceiling and has blue-green eyes.

The seventh jumper is Erudite. Her name is Makayla; she has black hair and dark brown eyes and shorter than me, that's rare, also, she has skin that is as white as a ghost. She is a real smart-mouth. She was back-sassing Tobias. No one back-sasses Tobias but me!

The eighth jumper is from Candor. Her name is Grace; she has brown, curly hair, blue eyes, and a whole lot of freckles.

The ninth jumper is from Erudite. His name is Cade; he has short, blonde hair and bright, blue eyes. From what I can tell, he shouldn't have chose Dauntless because no one likes to be the last jumper in Dauntless. Also because he looks like a loser.
