AN: Hey lovely readers So thanks for reading this story so far and I won't be updating very fast because report cards are coming out and I'm really stressed out :/ Plus I don't have much time because I started watching Once Upon A Time and I can't stop watching! Anyway here's chapter 2!
I feel shocked at what I just did. I have one hundred different thoughts zooming through my head. There's relief, terror, and sadness. My thoughts stop as a man walks over to me and starts leading me out.
The last thing I do before I exit is look at my parents. Carole gives me a little smile and wave. But my dad…he just sits there with a straight face. Tears look like they're about to fall from his eyes. I mouth two words to him. I'm sorry. He looks away with I pained expression. That's the last time I see him.
I'm put in a line with other dauntless initiates. I stand outside with other initiates. It sounds like there are trains coming. I stand there, nervous and shaky as terror fills my body and plays with my mind. I hear someone shouting my name. I look up and see Noah Puckerman, and Santana Lopez approaching me with grins on their faces. I open my arms and throw myself into their arms. I won't have to go through this alone, I think.
"So Hummel," Puck starts saying. "You're going to learn to be brave huh?" he asks me amused.
I think about what he said. Am I brave? I think to myself. My mind twists with different kind of acts of bravery. I haven't done any. I can be remade here, I tell myself in my mind again. "I always have been Puckerman. I just never had the chance to show it," I say satisfied with myself. Santana smirks at me. She opens her mouth to say something but Puck cuts her off.
"The other dauntless initiates are jumping!" he exclaims pointing at a train zooming by as the initiates jumped on. Before I know what I'm doing, I rush towards the train as the air slid by my face as my speed increased. I don't look behind. I don't want to see who's following me. I don't want to see the dark past I'm leaving behind. Then, I jump. I feel wind blowing around me, and in that second, I feel free.
Suddenly my feet hit the ground and I no longer feel free. I feel like Kurt.
"Wow," I hear Puck breathe out behind me, trying to catch his breath. "That was exhilarating!" he shouted as his eyes lit up like an excited puppy.
"You think!" shouts Santana. She walks up behind me and puts her hand on my shoulder. "You alright Hummel?" she asks me.
I smile. For the first time I feel like Kurt. But a happy Kurt, who will leave his past behind. "I'm great," I assure her, my smile getting wider.
We all look at each other. Then I turn to take in my surroundings. We landed on a roof and there are dauntless initiates gathered around chatting with the people they know. Suddenly somebody trips and falls on me. I turn around very fast.
"Are you okay?" I ask the girl wearing candor clothes and short brown hair.
"Yeah I'm fine," she tells me. "I'm really sorry I just wasn't looking where I was going."
I smile at her. "It's fine," I state. "What's your name?" I question her.
"My names Christina," she tells me with a smile. "You?" she asks.
"My names Kurt," I say. I open my mouth to say something but Puck touches my shoulder and turns me around.
"Look!" he says and points the ledge of the building. There is a boy with brown hair and candor clothing. He suddenly jumps off the roof. My breathe catches in my throat as me and the other new initiates gather around the ledge and look down. Then a voice over speakers announces "First jumper, Peter!"
My mind goes blank. I feel my body be pulled closer to the edge as I climb on top of it. "Kurt are you kidding me?" Santana hisses. But I don't listen. I feel wind blow over my ears and the whistle it creates in my head. Then I put my arms out, close my eyes, and jump.
I feel my body cut through the wind, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I feel relief and free as I fall. It feels like years as my body cuts through the earth and I keep falling. Freedom, I think to myself as relief spreads through my body. Suddenly I hit a net and bounce lightly as my body makes the contact.
"Wow," I breathe out. Then somebody tugs the net and I bounce to the side. My eyes lock with the most beautiful hazel eyes I had ever seen. The eyes burn into my mind as I feel something I never felt before as the man pulls me off the net.
I land on the ground in front of him. I take in his whole body now. He's short but skinny and has black curly untamed hair. His skin is not completely white but vaguely tanned. He is wearing black skin tight jeans, leather boots, and a black jean jacket.
"What's your name, stiff," he asks me. A smirk tugs on his lips.
"It's Kurt," I tell him trying to act as confident as possible to make good impressions.
"Welcome to dauntless," he says making eye contact with me. Hot damn, I think to myself.
Then a boy and a girl escort me to a cafeteria. The only person sitting there, with a cocky grin on his face is Peter, the first jumper. Not another douche bag I think.
I walk to a different table and sit silently. I keep looking to see if Santana or Puck will enter because I feel like a loser. Finally Santana enters the cafeteria. I can tell her hair has been blowing because it's a little messed up. There four other people in the cafeteria at the moment she gets to me. I jump up and hug her and she smiles at me when we pull apart.
"I can't wait to ditch these," she says poking at her gray abnegation clothing.
I laugh. "I know right?" I reply.
We sit and chat quietly for about a minute till Puck comes in. He walks over and sits next to us.
We make small talk about various topics as the other initiates file in. Christina comes in and introduces us to her friend Will. Will has very short brown hair and light brown eyes, and pale skin.
"It's nice to meet you guys," he says, smiling bright at us.
"Right back at you," says Puck. We all sit down and learn more about each other. We stop talking when somebody taps on a microphone.
I look up and see a man with pale skin and tattoos and piercings all over. He has dirty blonde hair that stays away from his eyes.
"Welcome initiates," he says. "My name is Eric and I am one of your two trainers. I have a few things to say before anyone does anything I need to say a few things. Dauntless is not about being stupid and goofing off. It's about brave acts for you and for other people." He states. Then the man who pulled me off the net enters. Eric gives him the microphone.
"Welcome everybody. My name is Blaine and I am your other trainer," he says. "I'm guessing Eric already gave you guys a speech so I'm not going to. Anyway follow us on a tour of the compound," He instructs us.
We get up and follow Blaine and Eric around the compound listening to the different rooms and what happens in them. It wasn't until I turned around that I saw him. He's standing there with Peter and two other people. One of them is the girl that jumped second, but the other is some boy I'd never seen before. David Karowsky. I take in a terrified breathe. I thought I could leave everything behind, and move on. I was going to be recreated. But I can't now. But things will be different, and I'm no longer letting him push me around. I'm not selfless anymore I tell myself. I am brave.
David sees me then staring at him. He gives a smirk of pride. He thinks he can push me around? Well think again. I send back my best bitch glare and turn back around to listen to Eric speak. When Puck notices what I was watching he puts a hand protectively on my shoulder. I give him a smile and mouth the words thank you.
When the tour concludes we are told to go eat dinner in the cafeteria. When we arrive, Puck, Christina, Santana, Will and I all sit together at a table and make small talk. A boy and two girls walk's up behind Puck and taps his shoulder.
"Hey, my names Uriah and these are my friends Lynn and Marlene. Mind if we join you?" asks the boy.
Puck smirks and reaches his hand out to shake with Uriah. "The names Puck," he says. The three of them take a seat next to Puck. "This is my crew," he tells them. I crack a smile and reach across the table to lightly punch his arm. We all laugh and Puck tells them our names. We all sit and eat our food silently.
"So are you guys all dauntless born initiates?" I ask them, letting my curiosity get the best of me.
"In the flesh," says Uriah with a cocky grin. We sit there and chat as time fly's by us till we release its 9:00. We all walk to the dorms in silence and I share a bunk with Puck. As we all sit on our beds and chat, the second crew comes in. The one that consists of Peter and David. I take in a shuddery breathe. Puck and Santana's jaws tighten in anger.
"Sup," says Peter. "Sense were all initiates I think I should tell you to stay out of my way and we won't have a problem," he orders.
"Wow what a cocky douche we have here," Says Puck. "No wonder you're all buddy buddy with Karowsky," he states.
"Watch it Puckerman," Karowsky snarls.
Then Puck screams, Santana screams, and everybody screams. I jump off the top of my bed when Puck lunges at David. I push them apart and scream, "Shut the fuck up! Dauntless is about being brave not douche bags so both of you, get over the feud you have now before you make each other's lives miserable!" I conclude.
"Coming from you Hummel," Puck says. "This douche has made your life a living hell, and you going to forgive him?" He asks.
"I'm not forgiving anybody. But I'm not going to fight with him like a five year old would," I say raising my voice. Then Eric storms in.
"What's up with all the shouting?" he asks us.
"Nothing," I mumble. "We were just going to be," I tell him giving David and Puck glares as I climb to the top bunk.
Eric gives us all skeptical looks. "Training starts tomorrow," he tells us. "Wrest up," he finishes before walking out.
It's silent as everybody leaves the room to change and slip into bed. We all sit there till we drift off to sleep one by one. Sleep doesn't seem to find me, so I lay there lost in my own thoughts. After an hour goes by I decide I need to occupy my mind. So I get up and softly walk out of the dorm.
I walk around the stony hallways and hum to myself as I walk. I creep into the cafeteria and make coffee and slowly drink it. When I'm half finished I decide to walk a bit more. I get my cup and lead myself back into the cold hallways. After about ten minutes of walking somebody clears their throat behind me. I jump around quickly and bit my lip when I see Blaine standing there.
"What are you doing up?" he asks me, his eyebrows knitting together. I can't tell if there's confusion or anger in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry," I say to him before I start rambling. "I couldn't sleep because I couldn't stop thinking and I lay in bed for an hour and decided to make some coffee and I-I- I'm just going to go to bed," I mumble turning quickly.
"Wait!" he calls to me. My breathe catches in my throat and I turn around biting my lip. "It's fine. You're not in trouble I couldn't sleep either," he explains to me.
"Yeah," is all I can bring myself to say. He laughs a little.
"You do realize you don't have to scared around me right?" he asks. "Eric is kind of the mean one. But that stays between us," he says and laughs.
I smile at him and a small giggle escapes my throat. "I really think I should go to bed right now though," I tell him with a smile.
"Come on," he says walking in front of me a little. "I'll bring you back. Oh, and if you're going to go to bed, it probably wasn't the best idea to get coffee."
"Yeah I think I just noticed that," I reply with a nervous laugh. Then we walk in silence and I turn my head slightly to look at him. He's wearing a similar outfit to mine. He's wearing a black skin tight muscle shirt (that shows of his arms and chest great) and loose sweatpants that hang low on his waist. I'm wearing baggie black t-shirt because the insecurity I have about my body. His hair is a little curlier than it was this morning and he looks like an actual puppy.
Stop thinking about him that way I hear my mind tell me. But of course I don't listen. We slowly approach the dorm and when we do and I start to walk in Blaine grabs my arm. "It's Kurt, right?" he asks me.
I smile. "Yeah," I mumble and smile slightly. We lock eyes quick and I can feel his hazel orbs burning into my mind. He steps forward and brushes a little bit of coffee off the side of my lip.
"Goodnight, Kurt," he tells me and turns and walks away leaving me alone.
"Wow," I whisper to myself before tiptoeing to my bunk, and laying down with the thought of Blaine on my mind.
