I HOPE YOU LIKED THE LAST CHAPTER AND I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS ONE!
ENJOY
R&R x
I wake up slightly later than usual but still before Marcus wakes. I quickly shower before putting on a skirt that originally went down to my shin's before I cut it to lay mid-thigh and covering it with a pair of slightly baggy trousers that covers all my legs like Abnegation clothes are supposed to. My only plain grey vest is also cut and re-sewn to be tight and stop an inch before my belly button before covering that with a plain jumper with too long sleeves which I've cut three holes in the fore arms. I cover myself with a baggy too-warm jacket that covers from my neck to my knees. ( blaises_second_outfit_divergent_fanfiction/set?id=130747256 )
I run downstairs and quickly make breakfast as Marcus walks into the dining room just as I finish. Quickly finishing we both walked towards the bus stop where Marcus went to talk to Mr and Mrs Prior leaving me to talk to Caleb.
"Morning Caleb. How are you and your sister today?" I automatically go to the greeting.
"Morning Blaise. We are good except Beatrice is slightly nervous even if she denies it. Yourself?" his response although shaky is normal.
"Good and Caleb?" I make sure no one is listening before continuing. "Although it is against everything we were brought up based on, today is a day to be selfish. And before you disagree how are we supposed to keep other people happy if we are not happy ourselves?"
Tobias had said that the day he left because even though he had gotten Abnegation he was leaving to be happy as I am.
"I..I... I do not know" Caleb looks as if he had ad a massive breakthrough and I am happy I could help him. "Blaise? What are we to do if our decision causes other people to not be happy?"
"Even if the whole of Abnegation were to band together, Caleb, we couldn't make everyone happy it's just one of those impossible things that certain people still believe is possible. But what people forget is these ideas are not always possible nor fact or going to be achieved" I keep my voice low " There's always going to be someone unhappy, Caleb. So today we get the chance to make sure the unhappy one isn't us"
Caleb stares at me before nodding and turning to look at his parents. Only his mother is looking towards us and after looking at her son she moves over to me.
"Thank you, Blaise. I don't know how you did it but thank you. I want my children to be happy and I know, unlike my husband, that they are not happy here in Abnegation" She smiles at me then hugs me.
TIME SKIP
After climbing the stairs we walk into the hall with separate bleachers for each faction. First is Dauntless-the brave, Candor-the honest, Euridite- the knowledgeable, Amity- the peaceful and finally Abnegation- the selfless.
Everyone sits with their faction and comes on to the stage when called Abnegation is one of the last to be called and I'll be one of the first called.
Marcus is in charge of the ceremony this year. He gives the exact speech that is made every year before starting to call the names from Dauntless.
The other factions finish quickly and before we know it it's Abnegation is being called. Name after name quite a few of them stay but others go to Amity or Candor none of them have went to Dauntless, not yet anyway.
"Blaise J Eaton" Marcus calls with a smug sile on his face.
He believes he knows what I'm going to choose, Abnegation but he's wrong and he's going to disown me as soon as he gets the chance just like Tobias but I don't care. I'd give up the Eaton name in a second.
I walk up the steps to the side of the stage and towards the five bowls that represent each of the factions. I take the the offered knife before cutting across the side of my palm. I don't raise my hand above a bowl till there is a tiny pool of blood gather on my hand before thrusting my hand above the burning coals representing Dauntless. As Marcus sees the direction of my hand he thrusts his hand out to stop me but as his hand closes around mine my blood has already landed on the coals.
Gasps go around as Marcus tries to drag my hand towards the grey stones representing Abnegation. I roughly bring my hand back to my chest before turning and marching towards Dauntless who have gone up in applause and standing up to welcome me to their faction but I know I won't be a member until I've gone through training and the initiation. I sit down in a chair offered to me by a younger member.
The rest of the ceremony goes quickly and before I know it Caleb is going up on to the stage.
CALEB'S P.O.V (ONLY TIME)
I walk on to the stage with Blaise's words echoing through my head. I take the newly cleaned knife into my grip slowly cutting my hand. I keep it next to me for a second looking between Abnegation and Euridite. I finally look towards my parents to see mom nodding her head whilst dad looks confused. I look over to Blaise to see her with her thumbs up. She mouths a couple of things she said at the the bus stop and I thrust my hand over the Euridite bowl. My blood drips into the bowl before I walk towards the crowd of blue clothing. I chance a final glance at mom and dad to see mom smiling and dad looking away.
I remember dad's last words to me before I walked to the stage '"I'll see you soon, son"'. No you won't dad but I'm happy.
I look over to Blaise and mouth "Be Safe" she laughs quietly before mouthing back "Be Happy" I nod before looking forward to see Beatrice walking up the stage.
CALEB'S P.O.V OVER
I smile towards Caleb before turning forwards to see Beatrice cut her hand and hover her hand over Abnegation before placing it over Dauntless and letting the blood fall.
She walks over to join Dauntless and me sitting in the seat next to me but we don't talk. The ceremony is finished within a few more minutes and some of the dauntless start to get up. I know what's happening and I get up nudging Beatrice to get her out of thought before starting to run down the stairs and out into the open. I easily keep up with some of the older members although they don't seem to believe it as the dauntless born's are looking at me strangely and trying to out run but I just laugh and the guy close to me laughs with me.
I notice the train tracks ahead and instantly feel excited if slightly nervous that we'll have to climb onto them to get to the train. Climbing up to the metal support pillars to get to the tracks was actually pretty easy is you were in shape though I could see a Candor girl struggling to breath properly below me. Just as I raise myself onto the track people start to run to the right as the train approaches. I easily keep up and jump into a compartment with the guy that ran next to me jumping in afterwards.
"Well, a stiff keeping up with dauntless born's it must be the end" the guy jokes with about four or five other dauntless borns laughing weekly but staring at me curiously.
"Well that's just proof I didn't belong in Abnegation, isn't it. I'm Blaise" I reach out my hand which he shakes.
"Uriah" he responds
"Do you think we're far yet, Uriah?" I ask standing up and standing more away from the door.
"Yeah, why?" he asks looking at me curiously.
I slip my shoes off before opening the button on my trousers and start taking them off.
"Whoa! Whoa! What are you doing? Stop!" Uriah practically yells in surprise.
"Shut up, Uriah!" a guy shouts before winking at me "Keep going"
"Pervert" I flip him the bird before continuing to take off my trousers to reveal my skirt then removing the heavy jacket and throwing them both out of the compartment and train. "Much better"
"There not clothes from Abnegation" Beatrice says from the other side of the compartment.
"They are I just took a pair of scissors to them and covered them with a big jacket so not to get caught. Works every time" I remark to myself before smirking at the opened mouth Candor girl.
I peek outside before saying "There's a roof with a guy in black on it approaching is that our stop?"
"Yeah. It's probably an instructor" Uriah answers as he gets up and walks to the opposite of the open compartment door "You wanna go Blaise? I'll even give you a hand"
"I'll go but I ain't holding your hand" I walk up next to him "1...2...3!"
We run and leap before hanging in the air for a second then we both land next to each other on in a heap on the gravel. My knees are scraped aong with my elbows but other wise I'm fine.
As I get up there's a scream and I can see people looking over the roof edge. Someone fell but I'm not going to look. I don't want to see the body.
A man stands up on the ledge calling our attention to him, making us gather in a group near the ledge with me next to Uriah at the front. He has tattoo's up his neck that connects to strong broad shoulders and a built chest. His eyebrow and nose are pierced. He has shaved black hair and dark glaring eyes. In other words extremely hot. He wore the traditional black Dauntless clothing.
"My name is Eric and I am a Dauntless leader. If you are here then you have chosen Dauntless and now to get into Dauntless you have to jump off this ledge into the large pit below" Eric voice was deep and menacing almost scary.
"What is there a net or something at the bottom?" someone asked
"Only way to find out" Eric jumps off the ledge onto the gravel causing the horrible crunching noise. "Who's going first?"
I see Beatrice about to move so I step forward I'm not letting her get a possible advantage. "I'll do it" I announce
"A stiff! But in different clothing. This will be fun" Eric says as I walk to the ledge.
I take off my jumper and drop it before turning around to face them.
"In that clothing are you sure you're a stiff?" Peter, a Euridite boy calls referring to my shortish skirt and my vest stopping before my belly button.
"See you at the bottom" I say before allowing my self to fall whilst leaping back the was to be sure I'll fall in the middle.
I yell in excitement as I fall.
I'm suddenly winded a I land on something wiry. A net. I see an arm reaching out to me which I grab seeing familiar burn marks on his wrist which make me gasp in surprise as I'm pulled from the net.
"What's you're name?" a deep, far too familiar voice asks.
"Now that's bad,T. Forgetting you're sisters own name" I speak lowly before pulling my hair back, that I had released on the train, to reveal similar burn marks to his on the side of my temple.
He looks almost amazed before sucking in a breath and squeezing my hand. "What are you wearing?" he notices the top and skirt before breathing in again.
"Do you wanna keep your name?" he asks more louder so when I nod he holds up my hand
towards other people behind him and shouts "First jumper, Blaise!"
There's a round of applause before a scream as someone else falls into the net. I notice it's Beatrice so I walk away a bit.
"Hey Blaise" Beatrice says as she walks towards me.
"Hello, Beat-" I'm stopped.
"Tris. Just Tris"
"Okay Tris" Tris? What name is Tris?
More screams filled the underground room as jumper after jumper fell into the net with Uriah coming to stand next to me and congratulating me.
DON'T HATE ME FOR MY CHARACTER NOT LLIKING TRIS AND I WILL WARN YOU IT GATS SLIGHTLY WORSE BUT THEY DO SORT OF GET ALONG IN THE END.
