A/N: This is my first fan fiction to be published, so i hope you enjoy it. I have not read Veronica Roth's version of Tobias' initiation (the transfer) yet, so i guess this fan fic is my take on it/how i expect it to be? Anyway.. review and enjoy! Caitlin x
Chapter 1
Less than an hour ago, I had five choices; I chose the most chaotic of them all: Dauntless. Looking back on that decision, I regret it. If I had known I was expected to jump into this abyss of perpeptual darkness, I would have easily chosen Abnegation, even if it meant staying within a mile radius of my father...
"Lingering isnt going to get you anywhere, Stiff" I turn to see a snobby-looking Erudite transfer smirking at me.
"Well by the looks of it you aren't planning on jumping any time soon either" I retort, making his presence known unwelcome.
"No time for arguing if you want to get through initiation in one piece," One of our Dauntless leaders (Max, i believe his name is) clearly did not tolerate arguments "Just jump. Don't even think."
Jump? How? How could i just ignore the fact I could be jumping to my death? I couldn't, so when Max looked at me expectantly, Ishook my head.
Struck by shock when an amity boy (smaller built than an average sixteen year old) jumped off the ledge, it triggered in my brain that they would not let their only sixteen year old initiates fall to their death before giving then a chance to prove themselves worthy of the dauntless name. This must be safe, they would not let us do it otherwise.
My mind clears, and I step forward. Hovering over the ledge I thinm many things, but over-ride the with this one though: "Just jump. Don't think." I step off the side, falling, flailing, gasping for the air that should be mine.
