Chapter 1
"Kylie Fuchsia, Dauntless." Marcus said.
Kylie's parents began to clap. They were proud that their daughter had chosen her original faction. Her test results had clearly said Dauntless- an even happier reason for them to be proud of their daughter.
From a young age Kylie had outshone in her class in physical activities. Her stamina easily beat most of the guys in her class and she was also very smart. She had been scared that she might get Erudite as her result. Her scores in school were better than most of the children from Erudite. But her mother had once said- "It takes intelligence to be brave Kylie. Erudite are not the only faction who have to use their brains." Kylie believed in that saying and followed it with all her heart.
Kylie looked at the faction transfers in Dauntless this year. Among them was a stiff. He had a serious expression and looked older than sixteen. He wore a grey shirt and loose grey pants. Next to him was a boy from Erudite. The Erudite boy was rather well built for his faction. His long black hair was tied in a ponytail and he had a grim expression.
Transfers from Erudite were common but this was the first time in the history of the factions that a Stiff had transferred to Dauntless. Abnegation found Dauntless to be too cruel and Dauntless found Abnegation too gentle and simple. She wondered what made him transfer.
The Dauntless initiates ran down the stairs and were screaming with joy. Kylie joined them laughing and pushing her twin brother Robert who was ahead of her. The transfers had fallen behind as they were clearly not use to acting wild and crazy. Once they exited the building they began running towards the train station. Robert and Kylie started racing each other. As twins they competed in everything. In the initiation they both would be competing for the top rank among the Dauntless born initiates. Kylie and Robert were the first to jump on the train.
"I clearly got on first Kyle." said Robert.
"I swear on the chiasm that I jumped on!" she said through her giggles.
Suddenly they heard a loud noise. Two of the transfer initiates had managed to come third and fourth on the train. Kylie saw it was the Stiff and the transfer from Erudite.
Robert and Kylie were too shocked to speak. Normally transfers did not possess such abilities on day one itself.
"Shocked much?" the Erudite transfer asked.
"Yeah normally you transfer are not so good one the first few days." Said Robert with a grim look.
"You guys underestimate us." said the expressionless Stiff.
"Hi! I'm Kylie and this is my twin brother Robert." Said Kylie trying to cool the tension.
"Tobias." Said the Stiff.
"Eric." Said the Erudite transfer.
In a few minutes the rest of the Dauntless born initiates jumped on to the train. They were equally shocked to see Tobias and Eric already sitting there.
Soon they reached the Pit. They were asked to jump on top of a tall building.
Max, a Dauntless leader was waiting for them on top of the building. Max was friends with the twins' parents. Therefore Max was kind of an 'uncle' figure to them. But this was no time for familiarities. This was serious training and any slacking off would lead to them becoming factionless.
"Good morning Dauntless initiates. Notice I do not address you as members as you need to go through our intensive training program to be considered a Dauntless member." Said Max.
"The first task is easy." He continued. "Jump off this building. Who wants to go first?"
Immediately Eric and Tobias' hands shot up.
"Two transfers I see. Let the Stiff go first." Said Max.
Tobias jumped off the building followed by Eric. Kylie and Robert decided to go next. They both jumped together. They ended up landing on a net.
Eric grinned when he saw her fall on the net.
"Need help getting up Kylie?" he asked.
"Nope." She said angrily and jumped out of the net.
Did Eric think she was weak? Or was that he way of playing? Making his opponent feel timid and weak and then crush them? She did not find it surprising. He was using his Erudite skills to manipulate his opponents.
Eric walked by her smiling. Kylie bit her lip.
Ok so this is chapter 1. I have always found Eric's character intriguing and deep. So this is his story combined with that of Kylie and Robert along with Tobias/ Four. Also Shauna and Zeke will be featuring in this story since they graduated the same year as Four and Eric.
