1. Chapter 1

I jumped from the train, I landed perfectly much to the surprise of the people around me. "what? There is a reason I changed factions." A voice called to us; I'd recognise that voice anywhere "Eric Coulter." Not that I would admit this to anyone, but I had the biggest crush on him in school, he was still Erudite back then. How is it possible that he got even hotter?

I was in the middle of the group of initiates, when I heard the most annoying sound ever, the voice of Peter Hayes and his cronies Drew and Molly. "hey stiff you really think you belong here?" he asked with disdain in his voice, I sighed "Peter why in the fuck are you here? I thought you wouldn't leave your mommy or is Drew's ass the real reason you came to Dauntless?" everyone was laughing, Peter's face was getting redder by the minute. He was about to retaliate. But my best friend from school suddenly popped up next to me Uriah Pedrad, the only person crazier than me. "hey Uri where the hell were you on the train, you ass." "sorry Trissy, Marlene is looking really hot today." I laughed at the poor boy he had been trying to get with her for ages, I asked her if she liked him once, "of course I do I'm just making him work for it," she said laughing and I laughed along with her, I promised not to tell Uriah.

"If everyone is finished, for those of you who don't know me I'm Eric Coulter, one of the leaders here at Dauntless. If you want to get into this faction, you have to use the members entrance." He said as he pointed behind him. we all inched forward to see just a hole in the ground. A Candor just had to open her big mouth, "is there water at the bottom or something?" I shook my head "no of course not they are trying to kill all of us," I thought sarcastically. I caught Eric looking at me, he gave me a little smirk, he knew what I was thinking.

"One of you has to go first, so who's it gonna be?" Uri the potato head, was about to raise his hand, but I walked forward first. I took my jacket off and threw it behind me, it just happened to land on Peter. I took the hand that Eric offered to help me up on the ledge, I gave him a wink and jumped. I felt free as I fell, I landed with a bounce, I was on a giant net. I was pulled of the net by none other then Tobias Eaton. "were you pushed?" I gave him my meanest glare, "no I jumped thank you." He gave me a strange look and said, "nice to see you Beatrice." "it's just Tris now." "that's nice it suits you." "Call it four," a girl from behind us shouted. "FIRST JUMPER TRIS!"

I was elated that I was actually here at Dauntless, I hadn't even passed initiation yet, but in a strange way I already felt at home. When the last of the jumpers had jumped Four called out to us all. "alright everyone my name is Four and I will be your trainer." "Four, like the number?" the same stupid Candor she won't last long. "yes like the number, you got a problem with that Candor?" she shook her head, I think she realised Four was not someone to be messed with. "Good, you need to learn to keep your mouth shut If you want to survive here." He let that sink in for a minute or two, then continued with his speech, "as I was saying dauntless born with Lauren, the rest of you with me." "I assume you guys don't need a tour?" Lauren asked the dauntless born, before they left, Uriah told me to come find him at dinner. I nodded my reply and off he went.

We were shown the chasm, the mess hall and the training room, then finally the dorms. "get some clothes that fit you from the lockers over there, get changed then get some dinner. Any questions? No good." He walked out of the room. I chose a bed in the corner away from everyone else. I got changed quickly, so I could get the hell out of there faster. I was walking through the hallway toward the mess hall when I hit a giant mass of muscle, I looked up and saw it was Eric. He looked pissed until he saw it was me, "sorry Eric wasn't paying attention," he looked me up and down, "it's ok stiff I will let it pass this time." He replied in a seductive voice, that made me week at the knees, and the bastard knew it. "Thanks boss man" I said, as I started to walk away, I brushed my hand over his arm as I passed, I had tingles in my hard for the rest of the night.

I got to the mess hall, it was easy to spot Uriah, he was stood on the table trying to keep his cake away from his brother Zeke I laughed at the brother's antics and made my way to the table. "URIAH what the hell are you doing?" "hey Tris, I was saving you some cake, but this bonehead brother of mine decided he wanted it." "why do I not believe you Uri?" everyone at the table laughed, "hey Lynn, Marlene, and you must be Zeke I said as I extended my hand to the elder Pedrad, he took my hand and shook it "yes I am and this is my girlfriend Shauna, she is also Lynn's big sister." I said hi and sat down. "so tris why aren't you sitting with the others?" Shauna asked, "I need to keep my braincells if want to pass initiation, besides they are mostly asshole candor's." I reply the whole table was looking at me weirdly "what?" with that everyone burst into laughter.
