A/N : hey guys ! I was so happy when I found out people actually read this . Honestly it made my day knowing that people enjoyed this and wanted another update. So here it is.
Disclaimer : I do not own divergent , it belongs to the talented Veronica Roth .
After all the initiates went through the entrance , Lauren and Skyler led them down a tunnel that descended toward the pit. Sky told me to stay in the back behind the initiates , to make sure they don't fall or run away. I honestly don't see the point . First of all they joined dauntless for a reason. If they aren't brave enough to walk down a narrow path with no rails , then they don't belong here. Second of all , where are they suppose to run to ? All of these reasonings left my mind the minute the girl from abnegation slips on a wet rock . I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding as her friend - who I recognized as the second jumper - helped her up.
We soon arrive at the pit , and all the initiates bumped into each other , surprised at the sudden stop. I squeeze past them and make my way to the front.
"This is where we divide" Lauren announces to them. "The dauntless-born initiates are with me. I assume you don't need a tour. " she gives them a huge smile , and they all break into the shadows .
I look around at the group that's in front of me. There are five candor , three erudite and one abnegation. There is no amity .
"Most of the time I work in the control room, but for the next few weeks , I am your instructor." I say to them " my name is Four."
I was about to finish the rest of my speech , so we can part for lunch but I was interrupted .
"Four? Like the number?" Asks a girl from candor - the one who jumped after tris.
"Yes. Is that a problem?" I reply back . Eyebrows raised.
"No."
"Good. We're about to go into the pit , which you will someday learn to love it -"
The girl interrupts again "the pit? Clever name." She snickers .
I sigh heavily and walk over to the girl . I lean my face in close enough for her to be scared. I stare at her for a moment, then ask quietly, "what's your name?"
"Christina" her voice squeaks a little and I hold back a smirk.
"We'll Christina , if I wanted to put up with candor smart-mouths I would've joined their faction" I hiss." The first lesson you will learn from me is to keep your mouth shut. Got that?"
She nods her head quickly , taking my advice .
I see skyler giving me a look.
"I made no promises " I whisper in her ear.
She glares at me , but her look softens then she kisses me full on the lips . I hear cat calls from the group . I turn and glare at them as Skyler walks away. I notice tris in the background looking away with a face of disgust. Apart of me wonders if she was jealous of Skyler. I quickly push that thought away as I remember abnegation don't like PDA .
I continue to walk towards the shadows , not checking to see if nine pairs of footsteps trailed behind me. In the back I hear Christina whispering Some thing along the lines of "what a jerk."
"I guess he doesn't like to be laughed at," tris replies.
I shiver runs down my spine as I hear her voice , it was lower than the average girl , but soft.
I push open a double set of metal doors and walk into the pit.
I hear mumbling from Christina , but I can't make out a word she says , and I don't really care. I look around the pit after seeing this place everyday it happens to be my third favourite place in dauntless.
The pit is literally a pit , it's a huge underground cavern with places for clothing , food, supplies, and activities built into it. Narrow walkways and steps carved into the rocks connects them all. There are also no barriers to protect you from falling off the side . The roof of the pit is made of panes of glass from a building. There is another room above . The only light source in the pit is random blue lanterns dangling above the paths. When I first arrived at dauntless on choosing day , I thought these people were suicidal. I look at the group of initiates watching their facial expressions as they take it all in. My eyes fall on tris. She has a bewildered expression on her face as she watches young children run on the path.
I then turn around and call out " if you follow me I'll show you the chasm " I then start walking not even looking back to see if they followed. I lead then to the right of the pit. There are barriers here , unlike everywhere else. The sound of rushing water pounds my ear drums . The chasm is my favourite place in all of dauntless. It is a river calm on the left , but untamed on the right.
"The chasm reminds us that there is a fine between bravery and idiocy!" I yell over the roar of the water. "A daredevil jump off this will end your life. It has happened before and it will happen again . You've been warned."
I then lead them across the pit , towards the hole in the wall that leads to sleeping quarters and dinning hall. I lead them into the dinning hall.
They are greeted with the dauntless members standing , applauding and stomping their feet. Shouts and fist pumps fill the air. I watch as a smile creeps onto the initiates faces. I find myself looking through the initiates , and my eyes fall on her. Tris. Her smile is the biggest , out of everyone in the room . She looks around the dinning hall as a slight blush creeps onto her face as she notices me starring at her. I quickly look away. As the hall calms down and people return to their seats , I find myself sitting beside her.
