Chapter One - Craziness!
Tris POV
I have been in Dauntless for about a year. After initiation, things went crazy. Jeanine Matthews planned an attack on Abnegation and killed half of the innocent faction members. She put all the Dauntless under a simulation and made them do it for her. Afraid to get her hands dirty, I guess. What a wimp. I am in the factionless sector with Tobias and all the other Dauntless who didn't turn traitor. We've been here for a while. It's kind of smelly. But, you get used to the nose hair burning stench of people who haven't showered in weeks. Maybe years. I don't really know. Don't really care that much either.
We eat in a very weird way. The factionless heat up some canned food and give us all a spoon. We pass the cans around until each and every one of us has gotten to eat on everything and until we are full. The thought makes me shudder. So many diseases can be spread from doing that. But I guess if you're starving it doesn't matter how you get food, you are just happy to get any. Even if it's something someone dropped out of their car onto the street. Gross!
I have better things to be worrying about than the grossness of our eating patterns. I could be worrying about about how Jeanine wants to kill me, or the fact that I am Divergent and lots of people hate me, or the fact that I killed Will and Christina doesn't know yet. The list could go on and on.
Maybe when Christina finds out it will be in a way that isn't so painful. For me and her. I hope she can find it in her to forgive me. But she was a former Candor. Candor aren't the best at forgiving. I sigh. Someone taps me on the shoulder. I jerk around to see who it is only to find Tobias. "Hey." I say. He sits down next to me as I sit next to the fire in the middle of the room. He puts his arm around my shoulders. " Hey." He says with a smile. We sit for a bit, not talking about anything, but enjoying eachother's company.
I see a red slurring flash move by before everything goes black for a second. What happened? I open my eyes and see that I am wearing initiate clothes and I am in the training room. What? Did I just go back in time? No. It can't be. I'm just delusional. I hear a voice. Eric's. " First jumper, in the ring! Last jumper, time to fight." he says. I walk to Eric. " There must be some mistake, I'm already in Dauntless!" I say. " Little ambitious, Stiff? Don't get ahead of yourself. Shut up and get in the ring." He responds with.
I walk to the ring. Luckily, I already know how to fight. Tobias taught me. "Start!" I hear Eric shout. I pummel Molly right in the gut and she groans. I punch her in the neck and she falls to the ground. I kick her several times in the back until she cries out " I'm done! No more fighting! Stop!" Eric and I take her to the infirmary. After she is being treated, I see Peter and Drew coming towards me. Probably came to check on Molly. " When did ypu get so good at fighting, Stiff?" He says.
It's official. I traveled back in time.
