Tobias' POV
It only seems like yesterday since my beloved Tris died, but it has been 4 years. People say that I will move on, but how can I move on from Tris? She was and is the only one who will ever be perfect for me and no one else. I will not even consider to have someone else in my life. Only Tris. My friends are still heart broken about her horrible, but selfless death, saving the whole city once again. Her life was cut off so short. She only lived for 16 years! That is to young for her to of died.
I suddenly hear a fist pounding at my door. Only one person can make the loud racket.
"Four! You're going to be late for the new arrivals today from the fringe!" Zeke. Seriously. The best way to reming me is pounding on my door. Typical.
"Okay, Okay Zeke! God! I'm comming" I quickly get my combat shoes on and get out of my apartment. Zeke is waiting in the hallway for me to get out. He quickly comes and joins me and then we start walking down ramps and stairs and walk out of dauntless.
They say that we will need to go to Amity head quarters to get out new Dauntless members. And if you havn't relised yet, we do have the factions back. It is the only way to keep the city at peace. Everything is still the same as it was before but there are a few changes like each faction can interact with eachother and visit their family and friends whenever they want to. Everything is nearly perfect, but if Tris were here and saw how much the city has improved because of her, everything would be more than perfect.
"So, how skilled do you think these newbies are?" Zeke says with wonder in his eyes.
"Well, don't forget that they're from the fringe. And also, they had some hand to hand combat training, and along with weapons. So, I take that they must be good enough for Dauntless." Zeke just nods in response and we stay quiet after all of that.

We finally arrive to Amity head quarters and enter through them. There is the cafeteria on the right side and an office on the left. That must be Johanna Reyes, Amity's leaders office. So we walk through the door. The office is just like any old office but with alot more chairs. There is a desk with one chair behind it with Johanna in it, and chairs on the other side of it were other people sit. And then there are our friends standing behind the bunch of people. When I mean our friends it means Christina, George, Amar, Caleb, Cara, Matthew, suprisingly Peter, and Uriah. So we walk over.
Yes, i said Uriah because just when the were about to unplug him, he woke up and softly said Stop cause no one noticed he was awake. Everyone was thrilled that he woke up, but that meant we had to tell him thatTris died. He was so sad just like the rest of us but then he said, "She died an Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite death. That was the best way to die for her." And also a bit after Tris' death Peter erased his memory because he wanted to start over. So now he remembers nothing of what he did for his life, including what he did to Tris.
"So, now that we have everyone here, I suggest we give some introductions." Johanna says while eyeing the people infront of us. No one says anything so Johanna speaks again, "With full names please and age. And someone just starts us off." Johanna says with a slightly anoyed tone. Then eventually a blond haired boy with dark chestnut eyes speaks up.
"Well my full name is Jamie Stan, and I'm 20 years old." He states without hesitation. Another boy with black hair and green eyes states,
"William Miles, also 20." An older women with blue hair and hazel eyes says.
"Pheonix Bloom, and I would prefer to not tell my age!" Little chuckles arise from us and from the fringe people. Dark brown haired girl states with confidence and bordome.
"Samantha Charm, age is 21." Then two girls with black hair stand up together, they look identical, but one has bright blue eyes, and the others bright green with the blue eyed girls hair longer then the others. That girl almost looks like Tris. No, it isn't, she died.
" I'm Mackenzie Lee, and this is my little sister, Destiny, I'm 21, and she is 19 turning 20 on Halloween!" Same date as Tris' Birthday.
"Well, this is Christina, George, Amar, Caleb, Cara, Peter, Zeke, Four, and Uriah." Johanna says. We give them some sort of acknowledgement when the say our names, and they give one back to us. Johanna speaks once again.
"Cara and Caleb are not going to be in the same faction as you. They will be in Erudite. The faction the you all are going is Dauntless. They protect us and they are the police of the city and the daredevils. So, by the things I know about you all, your going to fit in hear just perfectly. So, now you will be dismissed and go to your new homes." With that she stands up and walks us all out of the office and out of the Amity head quarters. I turn to face them and start speaking.
"Well, to get to our head quarters we will be catching the train. Yes, we could walk, but we really need to see if you actally have the guts to belong with us. So follow us." I turn on my heel and glance down at my watch. Sh*t! If we don't hurry up we won't get the train so I start to run and everyone follows behind except Zeke. He is the only one who can catchup to me.
I over hear the girl, Destiny speaking to someone.
"So, we are going to Dauntless. They say we are the police and daredevils of the city and we're just going to catch a train? How is that Dauntless?"
"I don't know Dest. But just go with it." I hear her sister respond. Destiny mumbles something I can't quite hear and Mackenzie just laughs.

Just in time, we arrive at the train tracks.
"Where is the station?" I think the guy, Jamie asks questioningly. I nearly laugh. These kids don't know anything. Well, I know why but still.
"You'll see if you stand back!" Amar snaps at him. Thet straight away stand away from the tracks and I hear the rumble of the train. It's time!
"Just watch, do, and learn pansycakes!" Uriah yells. So childish. Get's it from his brother. The train suddenly starts to pass through and we start to run.
"Now this is more like it!" Destiny laughs. Mackenzie just laughs with her.
I jump on first opening the door and budge in, followed by, Zeke, Amar, George, Uriah, and Christina. Then the others go by Pheonix, Destiny, Mackenzie, Samantha, Jamie, and William. They get on just struggling a bit except for Pheonix and Destiny. I geuss they're more experienced suprisingly.
"Well now that you have made it in here alive. We will have to wait for awhile. So enjoy the wait!" George states. They just groan and sit in a corner whispering things to each other that I can't quite make out. Zeke then comes up to me.
"They all look like our friends that have died. I mean, something is so familier about them. Is it just me only thinking that? Or are you also the same?" He says in a low voice.
"I know how you feel. They seem so familer, but they can't be. All of their additudes are different and we all saw them ourselfs dead." I say in the same low tone he did. He just sighs and looks out of the door to the landscape whizzing past.
"I think you're right. But anyways, I'm going to go straight away and dump you guyz because you know how I need to take care of Shauna." I nod understanding. Ever since Shauna got paralized by the gunshot wound she will never be the same. Even though she has leg braces, she still needs some help to do things.
"It's fine Zeke. Anyways, the others will be here." I say. He smirks and I return the smirk. He is just like the brother I always wanted to have, even a best friend.

The time has come to jump. This has always been my favorite.
"Yet again, watch, do, learn!" Amar states an jumps off and I after him, then Zeke, Uriah, and Christina. The others go in the same order. Zeke gives the sign for he has to go. I nod and he goes off in another direction. Amar just walks to the ledge of the building and signals me to jump. I go up on the ledge with him. I ignore my fear and just do what Tris tought me. Dont think, just jump. I jump and soon enough I hit the net.
I quickly get off and land on the platform and get ready for the first jumper. Wonder who will jump first.
I hear a few words being traded from up above on the building but I can't make out what their saying. Suddenly I see a flash of black hair and in a flash, someone is on the ground. I pull the net down and help the person out. I then relise Destiny had jumped first.
"Thanks Four" Destiny states with no emotion and walks of the platform.

After everyone has jumped off we lead them to the once transfer initiate dorm. While we pass the pit, I decide I will give the same talk as i did four years ago.
"This is the Pit, the center of life here at dauntless. All the shops, tattoo parlors are here and through that door is the cafeteria." We walk on and pass the Chasm.
"This is the Chasm. One jump you could say bye to your life. It happens each year so, I suggest you stay away from it." They all have an uncomfortable expression on their faces. I know they will stay away from it. Maybe.
We finally arrive at the dorms and they all go pick out there beds. Destiny picks the bed Tris had when she was an initiate. You can still see a bit of spray paint on it from four years ago. Oh Tris. Why did you have to leave?
"This is where you will be staying. Tomorrow we will see what you can take on and how strong you are. So be prepared." George says.
"So, welcome to Dauntless."
