I am Serana, and I am Erudite.
I transferred to Dauntless.
I am Divergent.
I will live, I think as I approach Eric, whose last words were:
"Jump."
He had gestured to the ledge of the roof, and Peter was casually ruffling his hair as I removed my jacket, exposing my blue long sleeved V-Neck and my black shorts, causing fake gasps to arise from the crowd.
I stepped to the ledge and jumped without hesitation.
I hit a net, and a arm grabbed mine as I untangled myself, crawling out of the net.
I watch as the well muscled arm became attached to a person.
He had piercing blue eyes, and a tattoo peaked out of the collar of his shirt.
"What's your Name?" he asks, then noticing my hesitation, smiled.
"Chose wisely, you only get to pick once."
"Sera, S-E-R-A" I say, grinning.
"Sera, First Jumper," he yells behind him, and dozens of dauntless appear, applauding me, and I blush bright crimson.
Later:
When everyone was in the compound, safe and earth-bound, He, Four, lead us into a chasm, down a staircase with no railings, and I distinctly heard a rushing of water, indicating how deep we were underground.
"This is the Pit, of which you will come to love, here you will-"
and Christina, a friend I met on the train, interrupted.
"The Pit? Super Original naming." she says, snorting.
"What's your name," he says, walking towards her.
"Christina" she squeaks out, frightened.
"Well, Christina, if I wanted to listen to Candor smart-mouths I would've joined their faction." he says, face scarily calm.
I blush with anger.
"Stop." I say calmly, and he looks up in shock, and I hear gasps behind me.
"She doesn't know better, she has spoke her mind her entire life, what do you expect? For us to act dauntless within hours of transferring?" I ask, a look of defiance spilling across my face.
I hear whispering when I finish, and his eyes meet mine.
A flicker crosses his eyes, Anger maybe? Longing?
Then he turns and silently leads us to our dorm.
"Thanks" Christina whispers next to me, and I nod, shrugging.
"This is the dorm, and you will stay here for the next three weeks of training." Four says, then leaves quickly, adding "Training is at 8:00 o' clock, don't be late." then he leaves silently.
I go into the pit, accompanied by Christina, and buy a V-Neck long sleeved shirt, like my own clothes back home, and buy dark denim shorts.
I quickly decide to get a haircut.
I flip my dark, curly wave of hair out of my face, and enter the salon, getting my bangs cut off, finally, as my family wouldn't allow me to cut them off before, and I stare at my reflection.
Bright red lips, pale skin, dark curly waves of hair tumbling down my shoulders, and notice that my dark eyes are glowing, excitement? I think, confused.
When I have finished, it is time to go to the dinning hall for supper.
My eyes take in the mass of tables, and I sit next to a group of dauntless-born.
"Hey" a boy says, waving me over, gesturing for me to sit next to him. "My name is Uriah, that is Zeke," he says, gesturing to the boy next to him.
"Hi, I'm Sera." I say, blushing.
I fill my plate, and I eat some of my burger, unfazed by the food, as I had seen the Dauntless eating them when they rarely saw the sun.
This is the beginning of the first chapter, and Sera is of my making, and this story is similar to Veronica Roth's, but of my plotted design :D
