The Short Lived Life of Al.
Chapter 1; The First Jump
I sprint to keep up with the train. I launch myself through the open cart and roll onto the floor. Other initiates and transfers line the walls of the box. I push myself back against the dank walls as I see a tiny girl from Abnegation throw herself through. Another girl from my faction, or old faction Candor, helps her into the cart. What have I gotten myself into? I peer over the edge of the cart onto the disappearing tracks. I plump boy tries to keep up with the train but it's too late. First initiate gone. Before I know it our instructors are shouting and yelling that we are supposed to jump from the train onto the roof. In a rush of excitement, at least for the Dauntless-Borns they all jump at once. I am left in the cart with the other transfers. Including the wide-eyed Abnegation. It's odd to see an Abnegation transferring to Dauntless. It's just not how things are. She throws herself while holding the Candor girls hand to the roof. I run and jump onto the roof just barely making it. Another Amity boy still sits in the train, he didn't want to jump. Now he will be faction less. I hear a scream and a loud sob. Someone fell. I run across the roof to the others.
"You will jump through the hole,." I am not focusing.
"Transfers first" I see the muscular girl who was shouting smirk.
All of a sudden a tiny girl in grey pushes past me taking off her sweater.
"Stiff!, Stiff's jumping first? Who wants to bet she chickens out?" Different phrases are shouted out over the sound of the harsh wind.
Then she jumps. And we hear screams and cheers from below. Coming from below. Next is Christina, that's her name, the girl from Candor. Eventually, I am the last transfer standing on the roof. I run and jump. There is a net. Thank Jesus there's a net.
Hands help me off the net as they start clapping.
"What is your name?" A man with dark brown hair asks me, he looks less.. Dauntless then the rest of them.
"Al" I reply simply.
"Al! Transfer from Candor! Last transfer!" He shouts to the rest of the Dauntless faces. They clap, not nearly as loud as when the first jumper went. The stiff.
I listen to the speeches I am given about training, and watch as I am given my tour of the pit and shown to our room for the next few weeks. Then, I see her. Tris, the stiffs name is Tris. And she is absolutely beautiful.
Hello Again Guys! So this is obviously a short chapter, and they will get longer as I did not have much time this evening. Please leave feedback!
