Tris POV

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I hit the alarm clock and groan, lying in bed for a moment. Something important is happening today, but I can't remember what it is! It isn't anyone's birthday, I don't have to go shopping with Christina, the initiates aren't coming today…

Wait, initiates! The Choosing Ceremony is today!

I smirk. Today, all of the sixteen year olds who choose Dauntless as their faction will be jumping off a building, assuming they make it that far. I get to train them! They won't stand a chance.

Tobias decided to just stay in the control room this year. I will be training all of the transfers and Uriah all of the Dauntless born. We decided that I will be able to scare the transfers more than Uriah, because despite my petite frame I've gotten super accurate with both a gun and a knife, oh, and the fact that I came in 1st in our initiate class while Uriah was 2nd. Nah, that wasn't really a contributing factor. We just decided that since I was a faction transfer I would know more of what would scare them.

I can't wait to scare all of those little children. It's probably a little odd that I think of them as children since I'm only a year older than them, and they're probably all at least a couple inches taller than me. But, knowing that I have the ability to frighten them makes me feel less weak and more in control.

I undress and hop into the shower, thinking of what I'll use to scare them today. I think of the phrases and mannerism Four used last year to frighten my initiate class. I want to try to do what he did, but a lot of it would sound ridiculous coming from someone with my stature. No, I'll have to think of some other ways to scare the new initiates.

I hop out of the shower and put on black skinny jeans and my favorite tight black scoop neck top that shows off the tattoos on my collar bone, and actually makes it look like I have curves.

I walk to the mirror and put on thick, black eye-liner and mascara. I apply dark gray eye shadow to my eye-lids the way Christina showed me a few months ago. I finish off my make-up with dark red lipstick.

I then decide to French-braid my hair to the side and put on a pair of black Converses before walking down to see my friends at breakfast.

I sit down at the table next to Tobias, giving him a quick peck on the lips.

"You ready to scare some initiates to death, Trissy?" Uriah asks, using one of my least favorite nick names.

"Don't call me that ever again," I scowl at him before continuing, "I am pretty excited for today."

"Got any pointers for Trissy and me, Four?" Uriah exclaims while smirking in my direction.

I reach across from me and slap him, wiping the smug look off of my friend's face.

Will says, "It doesn't look like Tris will be needing any pointers. She's going to scare those initiates all the way to Amity headquarters!"

Christina giggles and Four chuckles.

I bounce up glaring at everybody. "I just need to get into character. Come on Uriah, the initiates will be jumping soon!"

I kiss Tobias quickly before grabbing Uriah and starting to drag him along with me.

Wait, I forgot something.

I race back to the table and remind everyone, "Guys, remember to call me Six around the initiates. It'll help me be almost as intimidating as Four!"

I wink at my friends before running to catch up with Uriah.

Uriah is one of my closest friends. I talk to him about just about everything, and I always find myself laughing around him.

As I catch up with him he asks me, "What's wrong Trissy, can't keep up with my super human walking?"

I laugh as I remind him, "No jokes Uriah. I'm not going to be able to scare the initiates if I'm always laughing. And if you call me Trissy one more time, I swear to God… you know what, just remember to call me Six or I'll send Four after you."

"Ooh! Now you've got me scared. One thing I most definitely do not want is your boyfriend coming after me."

I smirk. "Good. Which faction do you think the first jumper will be from this year?"

"I bet that it'll be Amity."

I give him a puzzled look, "Amity, really? Usually there aren't any Amity transfers at all."

"Well, usually there aren't any Abnegation transfers, but that didn't stop you now did it?"

"I suppose not. I think it'll be someone from Candor. There's usually a lot from there, so the first jumper will probably come from there too."

"Gosh, Tr- I mean Six. You sound like a freaking Erudite!"

"Whatever. Look! The first jumper is coming now!"

I see a flash of yellow, and hear a short girly scream, before the figure hits the net. Dang it! Uriah was right.

He mouths, "I win," to me and I just scowl in response.

I reach a hand out as the Amity transfer sits up. The boy takes it. Wait, a boy? He screamed like a little girl! I smirk as I help him off of the net.

He's pretty tall, nearly six feet and has tanned skin with several freckles over his nose. His hair is blond, and he has eyes the color of leaves when light passes through them. He is rather handsome, and has a cocky look in his eyes that you only see in someone who has been sought after their entire life.

I cross my arms. "What's your name, transfer?" I ask the question a little condescendingly with a hint of boredom.

"Jack," he replies and winks. I roll my eyes at the wink.

"Uriah, make the announcement."

"First jumper, Jack!"

The second transfer to jump was an Erudite girl with long, straight auburn hair named Madeleine. She reminds me a lot of myself when I was just an initiate jumping onto the net for the first time. Her stormy blue eyes are full of the same determination and subtle fear that mine possessed when in her position. It surprises me that she didn't jump first.

Next comes a pair of identical twin boys from Candor, both with shaggy brown hair.

A blonde Candor girl with a snobby look on her face follows the twins. When she refuses my hand and glares at me with an air of supremacy, I can already tell that I won't like her.

A tall, shy Amity girl with black hair comes next. I doubt she'll last long. She's far too timid, and all I can see in her eyes is sheer terror, no commitment or determination of any kind. She should have stayed in Amity.

The next person to jump is from Erudite. He's built like a boulder and is about a whole foot taller than me. I don't even bother trying to help him up, I just glance at Uriah who glares back at me before attempting to pull the boy to his feet.

Another Erudite boy follows, but thankfully isn't nearly as tall.

One more Candor girl jumps, and then to my surprise I see a flash of gray. It's a boy from Abnegation. He looks familiar, but I don't recognize him.

No one else jumps so I yell, "Transfers here, Dauntless born there with Uriah." I point towards Uriah.

"Follow me, transfers." My voice sounds sharp and I lead them to the entrance of Dauntless headquarters without glancing back.

AN: Hey, guys! I hope you liked it. This is the first fanfiction I've written, so please review and let me know what you think! I'm not sure how long I'm going to make this, I guess it depends on everybody's responses. Anywho, thanks for reading and just let me know how I did in a review :)
