Tris POV
"To start, my name is Tori, and as you can see, im a Dauntless."
"But how do you know who we are?" I interrupt
"Just listen. This morning, a lot of abnegation where hurt and killed, and we don't know why or who did it. I knew your parents for a long time, and your mother and I became best friends. Right before Caleb was born, They asked me that if anything ever happened to them, that id take care of you kids. After the attack this morning, We learned that all of the Abnegation and their leaders have died, so all five of you will be coming to stay in a different families. For a while though, you will all be in Dauntless." she says, Susan is sobbing, and Robert and Caleb have tears running down their faces.
"How did you know our parents?" Caleb asks
"I was born in Erudite, with my brother. your father and I grew up together, and became friends. after your father had transferred to Abnega..."
"Wait! But our dad wasn't born in Erudite, was he?" I ask
"Yes, and after he transferred, he introduced me to your mother, and that's how we became friends." she replies.
"But wha.." she shushes me
"We will have time for questions later, but now, we need to go." she interrupts
Tori takes us outside, where a truck I hadn't noticed before was sitting. As soon as I'm outside, I can't help but notice that the bodies have been taken away. Marcus' blood still lies in the street, but he is not there anymore. We hop into a big black car, and they drive us to what I assume is the Dauntless compound. Once the car stops, we get out.
"Okay, there are a few things you guys need to know before we go in there." Tori says
"First, is that you cannot tell anybody you were born in Abnegation. People will be curious, because they've never seen you before, but you just tell them that your in a new foster home, because that's what you are." We all nod.
"Second, stay away from the Dauntless leaders. They may know your from Abnegation, and they can hurt you. Okay? Now go in there and make some friends, you will be here for awhile." She says
Tori hands us some Dauntless clothes that fit us, mines just a red T shirt and some black shorts, with a pair of tennis shoes. We haven't ever had clothes like these. Abnegation only let us where gray clothing, that was kind of uncomfortable.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Tori says as she pulls down Susan's and I's tightly wrapped buns. She leaves Susans down, and she puts mine into a low ponytail.
"The dauntless usually have their hair down, so you guys will have to remember that." she says
"Now when you get inside, you will meet your new foster parents. Susan and Robert, you will be staying with me, Tobias, Beatrice and Caleb, you will be living with a lady named Hana, and she has two kids around your age." We all just nod silently
When we walk into the building, or shall I say 'cave', I see a hoard of people dressed in blacks and reds, and then a random man wearing a unicorn hat. I can already tell that these people are probably crazy. I see four kids running up the stairs that wrap around the inside of the cavern we are in, but these stairs are about five foot wide and carved out of the rock. They have no railings. I see one kid stumble, and then half hang over the side of the stairs. One of the other kids, a bit older than him, lifts him back up onto the staircase, and they go back to chasing each other. I look around and see a big hole, that luckily does have a railing around it. I see a group of people, standing around the railing, talking, when a lady stumbles into one man, almost knocking him over the side of the giant pit. Once the man recovers, they just laugh it off, like its no big deal. Yep, these people are definitely crazy.
Tori walks us over to a corner, where I see a few people waiting. One of them, a man who looks like he's in his early twenties, sees us, then points us out. Two of the people run over to us. I guess they're our foster parents.
"Susan, Robert, this is Bud, my husband." Tori says, referring to an older man with a short beard.
"Tobias, Beatrice, Caleb, This Hana." Hana Dark hair and tan skin. She smiles, then comes over and gives a big hug.
"Uriah, Ezekiel! Get over here!" she yells
Two boys, run down the stairs. I recognize them as the one boy who fell over the edge, and the other one who pulled him back up. As they stop in front of us, I notice that the younger one is my age, and the older looks like he's about Tobias age.
"Hi! Im Uriah! And that numbnut over there's Zeke!" the younger one yells, jumping up and down.
" Uriah Pedrad!" Hana smacks him on the back of the head
"Well I guess we better show you around.." says Hana
As walk of with Hana, Zeke, and Uriah, I wave back to Susan and Robert.
"So this is the chasm, and unlike my idiot children, you should be careful around it." she says, pointing to the giant hole.
"Hey!" pipes Uriah
"They call this place the pit, and over here is the cafeteria." she says, pointing to different areas.
We walk along with her until we reach her apartment.
"This is it." she says. "Caleb and Beatrice can share this room, and if you don't mind sharing a room with Uriah and Zeke, Tobias?" We nod.
"I got you kids some clothes, and the stuff you need, but later, if you'd like, we can you shopping for some other stuff, to make you feel at home." she says kindly. I quietly say thanks.
Once we check out the room we are staying in, Caleb and I follow Tobias and Zeke into their room. We sit on the beds, talking. And for the first time in my life, I tell my own jokes, and laugh at the funny things other people say. Here in Dauntless, you won't be chastised for laughing a lot or telling a joke. I think I'll like this place, a lot even.
i wanted to make Amar Tobias' foster dad, and then I realized.. at this time Amar was only 11 years old.. Hmm..
