Shared Pain – Chapter Two

Tris POV

"All right listen up! My name is Max and I am the leader of Dauntless." Christina and I walk over to the ledge where Max is standing along with the rest of the initiates who made it onto the roof unscathed.

"Congratulations to those of you who have made it here this far. Now if you want to enter Dauntless this is the way in. Our initiates have the honor of going first." Max says as he steps aside waiting for the first initiate to step forward.

"We just jumped and now they want us to jump again." Chris mumbles in my ear. I look around to see that no one seems to want to go first. They all look at the ledge with trepidation.

"So who's it going to be?" Max asks impatiently.

"Me." I shout. Everyone stares at me as if they think I'm crazy for wanting to jump first. I start walking towards the ledge when I hear some of the other initiates laughing. I ignore them. This is my shot at showing everyone that I belong in Dauntless.

I stop a foot away from the ledge and I run, do a cartwheel, a front flip, and a 360 spin off the ledge, and salute Max. Max just chuckled and waited for the next brave initiate to jump off and enter Dauntless.

I feel the wind on my way down. It feels liberating. Like I am free. I land in a net and I start laughing. I look around as I start to get out of the net, but I slip and almost face plant, but I luckily land into someone's arms.

A very sexy someone's arms. He has dark blue eyes, big pink luscious lips, and short brown hair. He looks to be about two or three years older than me. He sets me down and asks "What's your name?"

"Tris, Tris Prior" I say and extend my hand towards him and he shakes it twice "My name is Four." he says and lets go of my hand. I felt a spark of electricity when our hands met and was a little disappointed when he let go of my hand.

He grabs my hand again and raises it up and shouts "First jumper Tris!" he pushes me to the side and puts his hand on my lower back and says" Welcome to Dauntless". I smile for once feeling that I finally belonged somewhere.
