Hey guys! So this is my first fan-fic evs! I just want to mention the dialogue isn't exactly from the book but I don't go off subject! I hope you like it and I ship Petris so hard! Ha, btw R&R and use constructive criticism! And also add any ideas you have any! =D
Btw I sadly do not own the amazing Divergent!
The moment I decided to chose Dauntless, I never thought I would set eyes on her. She sits across from me on the other side of the train. I can't help but smile when I see her. She's intimidating, which I like. Wait, wait what am I saying? She is a STIFF! I can't like a stiff.. Can I?
As we near the Dauntless compound, I watch as the native members and dauntless-born are jumping off the train, onto the roof! And they expect us to do this? Well.. if it means me being #1 in the iniates training and being a dauntless.. here goes nothing. I jump off onto the roof with a smirk on my face. I'm okay except for the scrape on my knee. I look over to Molly and Drew who have also mad it onto the roof with success. The stiff is pulling up her shirt to look at a scrap on her elbow. Well, here goes nothing.
"Looks like the Stiff is showing some skin", I say while smirking at her and laughing along with Molly and Drew. She glares at me and I can't help but feel a pit of guilt in my stomach. What am I saying? I roll my eyes as a leader begins to talk in front of us.
"Hello I am Max and I am one of the leader here in Dauntless", he says this with pride and dignity. That will one day be my job.
"Now in your initiation you will go through some physical tasks. Your next is to jump off the side of this building!" He smirks as the Dauntless behind him make a path to the end of the building.
"The iniates have the pleasure of jumping off first", he gestures to the end of the roof. I will jump off, I have to.
"Well, stiff do you have it in you to jump off a roof? I don't think you do." I say temptingly as Molly and Drew laugh behind me. Once again she glares and all of a sudden she takes off her gray robe and throws it at my face. She walks to the roof, while guys whistle and meow. I can't help but feel a pit of jealousy as people whistle at her. She looks down at the ground off of the building and without hesitating, jumps off the roof.
"Good luck guys." I say over my shoulder to Drew and Molly. I walk over to the side of the roof and jump off as well.
I feel free dropping into the net below me. There has to be a net.. Right? They wouldn't just kill half of there iniates before initiation even started. I feel almost free as my past of Erudite disappears behind me as I fall into the depths of the dauntless compound. All of a sudden I hit the net and all the wind is knocked out of me. I reach for one of the hands that are reached out to me.
"Welcome to Dauntless" is all they say, as I am walked over to the side of the net where the other initiates that have jumped before me stand. There is so much cheering and the pounding of fist in the air makes me feel as if I can't even here myself think... I like it here. Out of the corner of my eye I see the stiff standing up against the poll scared but determined. I'm guessing her name if Tris by the way people are talking about her being the first to jump off. I'm proud she has made it this far and I can't help but to smile at her. She turns to look my way but I turn away just in time.
All the initiate have fallen off of the roof into the net and we are now heading down a narrow hallway.
"This is where we split up." A younger man, maybe late teens stands in front of us. "The Dauntless-born will follow Lauren, I don't think you need a tour of the place. The rest will follow me." We all split up and there only stands 9 of us transfers. He explains that his name is Four. And he will be our instructor for initiation.
"Four like the number?", a girl from Candor asks.
"Yes", he says this a bit harshly, I almost laugh at the fear the Candor girl shows. "Is there a problem?" he asks. She shakes her head.
"Good.. So we will be heading into the Pit, which you will someday learn to love. It-" He's gets cut off by the same Candor again.
"Ha, The Pit, clever name" She smirks. "The Pit." Four walks over to her and talks so low it's almost a whisper.
"What is your name?"
"Ch-christina" she speaks obviously frightened.
"Well Christina, if I wanted to deal with Candor smart mouths I would have joined that faction. The first lesson, you will learn from me is to keep your mouth shut. Got that? " He narrows his eyes and she nods while he starts to walk away down the path to the Pit.
"Well someone's a bit grouchy, eh?" Christina whispers to Tris
"I guess he's just not a person that likes to be laughed at." she whispers back. Ahead I see Four smile to him self. I'm jealous that she isn't mad. I guess I have some competition. But I always get what I want, and I want her.
Wait, what am I saying? She's not mine.. Four doesn't like her.. She's a stiff and I don't like her.. At all.
As we enter the Pit, Four lead us over to the chasm. He starts to speak but I stare at Tris most of the time.
"The chasm reminds us that there is a find line between courage and idiocy. A daredevil jump into the chasm will end your life. It's happened before and it will happen again. You have been warned!"
At this my eyes dart to Four. Then around the group guessing who will actually have the stupidity to do it. I think maybe Tris but quickly deny it. She came here on a mission and I don't know if she was meant for Dauntless. But she will definitely try and prove that she is. At this thought I smile. I then realize that the group has started to walk away.
We make it into the dinning hall where all of Dauntless is shouting and banging their fist into the table. Welcoming us into our new faction. I sit down on the other side of the dining hall with Molly and Drew. Away from everybody else. I look to see Tris sitting in between Christina and Four. Oh how a loath him..
After we eat, another one of the Dauntless leaders leads us to our dorm. At dinner all I did was glare at Four. Hopefully nobody noticed.. Was I jealous? No I can't be.. Shouldn't be.. Although, when he got up and moved away from Tris, I couldn't help but smirk. She was glaring at him and he was mad. Good.
"For all of you who don't know me, My name is Eric. I am one of the Dauntless leaders here." He's young, maybe same age as four. There's a big difference between them though. Eric has piercings all along his ears, then some above his eyebrows, two in his nose and more by his lips. In my opinion it's too much but that's how Dauntless rolls.
"I will assist Four in your training. So, you might see me more often." I shiver at the idea and so does Tris. I can see her out of the corner of my eye. By the expression she has on her face she looks fine but in her eyes I can tell she feels uncomfortable around him. She doesn't like him and he doesn't like her. She's a stiff, but that shouldn't matter.
"Here is where you will be staying for the next two weeks. Make yourselves comfortable and welcome to Dauntless!" He opens the doors and we all walk in to find a bed. There are ten beds in here so it's not a particular big dorm. We all slowly get ready to go to sleep. I get a bed on the other side of the dorms but I can see Tris perfectly. I look at her one last time with a smile on my face.
As I lay down in my bed and fall asleep that night I am certain of two things: The first is I know I am made for Dauntless. I wont let anyone or anything get in my way to become #1 in initiation. I'll do anything it takes to get to the top.
The second, I know I'm falling for Tris.
Thanks for reading! I will update probz after I get 5 reviews! So please review and tell me what you think!
