I looked down the massive gaping hole that lead to the members' entrance to the compound. The cut in my hand was still stinging from the ceremony. I was seriously considering backing down. What was I thinking to jump first?

The wind was blowing and goose bumps started to appear on my bare arms. I shivered. I could hear someone mumbling under their breath about how I was taking too long.

"The Stiff wont jump. The Stiff's going to chicken out." Some boy said. The boy emphasized a lot on the Abnegation slang.

He had dark hair and his eyes were green. If he wasn't a total douche, than I would've considered him attractive but then his personality and his constant taunting got in the way. I tried to put on my most intimidating face and I turned to face the boy but then I realised that he probably won't take me seriously because I was wearing grey slacks. He snorted in my attempt to intimidate him. I broke off my gaze with him when someone gestured to the hole, telling me that I'm suppose to jump.

"Hurry up Stiff!" Some Dauntless-born said. Everyone was shocked at me, a Stiff jumping first, but it slowly turned into annoyance because of how long I took.

I took a deep breath. Im Dauntless now, right? I closed my eyes. It was just one step and it would all be over. I mustered up all of my courage. I needed to prove to the people behind me that I wasn't just a Stiff, especially to that green eyed boy. I took a step forward. A swooping sensation passed through me. My insides were flying everywhere in my stomach, in a good way I mean. The wind whipped through my hair and flapped all my baggy Abnegation clothes around. The cold air bit at my skin and it cooled me down from all of my nervousness. A blur of colours flew past me as I fell down the hole. I let a laugh escape my mouth. Adrenaline pumped through my veins and my heart was thudding loudly in my ears. I felt free.

Soon, the sensation ended as I collided into a net. I bounced right back up and I laughed, the adrenaline still in my system. My laugh echoed bounced off the stone walls of this underground place.

The whole 'jumping down the net' experience wasn't scary. I don't know what the other people were so nervous about. Now I proved them wrong. I was first jumper. Most importantly, I was braver then the Dauntlessborns and transfers.

When I stopped bouncing, I could feel the net dip at one end. I propped myself up on an angle and I saw that there was someone pushing one end of the net down. The person reached out a hand and I gladly took it. The person helped me off. I nearly tripped over but the person caught me before I would smash my face onto the ground. I realised that the temperature had changed and it was colder than it was up there.

It was a man. He had multiple piercings on his face. His features were arranged in a curious expression. His eyebrows were arched and his mouth was stretched into a faint grin. His grey eyes scanned over me in a calculating way. If he wasn't Dauntless then I would've assumed that he was an Erudite.

"A Stiff eh? We don't have many of you lot coming to Dauntless. I don't expect you to last here long." I scowled at the term he used to refer to me. I already had many people calling me a Stiff. They all called me a Stiff because they underestimated me because of my Abnegation background. I didn't need someone like him to smash my mood. I was starting to think that this guy was nice but then my decision changed. Before I could snap back a retort the man asked me, "What is your name?"

"Why should I tell you my name. You keep calling me 'Stiff'." I said with a sneer, my anger taking over. I clamped a hand over my mouth with realisation to what I said. Why am I acting so rude? If Abnegation was a person then Abnegation would be shaking its head at me, dissapointed at my actions. The change of factions was starting to have it's effect of me because now I knew that I could do anything I want right now, without the people from Abnegation scolding me.

I could see that the people around us were all quiet, watching the commotion between the man and I. It was obvious that no one ever talked to him that way before. They all had pity on their faces. I held in my breath, expecting the worst.

The man's grey eyes hardened and his mouth pressed into a very thin line. His expression washed over to an angry glare. "I am one of the five leaders of Dauntless and you shouldn't be disrespecting me or be rude to me. It would be the last thing you would want to do because I could make you factionless with a snap of my fingers and trust me, I dont think you would want to be factionless on your first day here, right? So let me ask you again, what is your name?" The man said with a deadly calm tone. It was scarier than being yelled at. A gut feeling told me that I should reply properly to refrain from something bad from happening.

"Tris." I replied,gritting my teeth. The man gave one last look at me and yelled, "First jumper, Tris."

The Dauntless around us yelled and stomped their feet against the stone ground and cheered. "Welcome to Dauntless." The man said. He put his arm on my lower back and not so gently guided me to the group of Dauntless people. Judging from all their facial expressions, they didn't seem to catch the man's threat. Whatever his name was, he wasn't going to be my friend.

First of all, I was angry and shocked at the Stiff's actions. I was a Dauntless leader and she had no right to be rude to me. It was even more shocking that she was from Abnegation. As I recalled, people from Abnegation don't get raised like this.

People got scared of me whenever I was around and they didn't dare to talk back to me. My power here in Dauntless ran completely on fear. If people weren't afraid of me then my power here would me equivalent to nothing.

I hated people who were rude to me. I hated the people who opposed me because it showed that they were brave and they weren't afraid of me. If they were not afraid if me, then I had no power over them. They were the people who were different to the others.

I helped some of the initates out of the net and I tried to put on the most initimidating facial expression I had so I could scare some of the initiates. None of the initiates thanked me when I helped them off the net so I assumed that my facial expressions was scary enough to make them not talk.

Four did the usual speech about the initiation process and I just hung around the corner, carefully studying everyone. There were 6 Candor transfers, 3 Erudite transfers and only one Abnegation transfer. I observed that she already made a friend, the dark-skinned girl who couldn't keep her mouth shut about Four's name.

After that, Four led them to the cafeteria. Everyone stomped their legs and rattled their cups but when they realised that I was with the initiates, they all slowly stopped. I had the effect on people. It made me feel powerful and strong.

I saw Max on the other side of the room and he beckoned me to come. He was standing near the other exit on the other side of the cafeteria. I had to obey his orders so I wandered my way through the tables and towards Max.

I noticed that the man, or Eric, had left with Max. Four introduced him to us as 'Eric.' Christina got our food from the line and we went to sit next on the only table available, the table with Four on it. He was eating his food and he payed no attention to us when we arrived. I sat down next to him and I started to pick at my food. I didn't know what Christin got me because the food was different from what I ate back in Abnegation. The thought of Abnegation brought a feeling to my stomach, almost making me unwilling to eat. I felt guilty because I knew that right now, my parents would be quietly eating without their two kids.

The doors to the cafeteria opened and Eric entered again. I guess that he came back from whatever he was doing with Max. The hall went silent and all eyes were glued to Eric. He was making his way towards my direction. My back stiffened and I sucked in a breath. I was silently praying that he wouldn't come to this table. I wasn't afraid of him or anything but then I didn't feel like speaking to him after he had threatened me at the net.

My prayers were not effective enough because Eric was making his way to our table. When he finally reached our table, everyone slowly started to go back to whatever they were doing.

He had a fake smile on his face. A smile didn't even look right on his face. His fingers were laced together.

"Hi Four." Eric said. His voice suggested that he didn't want to say 'hi' to Four but only wanted to do so to seem nice. Immediately, I knew that Four and Eric weren't on the best of terms.

"Do you mind introducing them to me?" Eric said, gesturing to all the initiates sitting on our table.

Four rolled his eyes and said, "This is Al, Will, Christina and Tris." He didn't even look up from his food. "Oh I know Tris." Eric said, his eyes meeting mine.

I stiffly turned my head to him. "Oh we only just met at the net, so you don't really know me." I replied, putting a small smile at my face. I mentally facepalmed. I would suit Candor because I don't have a filter over my mouth. Eric's head tilted slightly as though he was considering something. Whatever he was feeling, he was composed and he didn't show it.

Four led them to the dormitaries and they all scrambled to choose their beds. I internally laughed at all of them. Just by looking at them, only about half of them would pass stage three of initiation. Only the determined and willing people would make it through.

Tris talked-back to me regardless of my threat. I swallowed. She was going to be one hell of an initiate. She was different to the other initiates. It wasn't just because she wasn't afraid of me. It was just a gut feeling that told me so.

I looked at Tris and she chose the bed closest to the door. Smart. Her dark-skinned friend, who I believed was Christina, chose the bed next to her.

I left them all to their sleep.
