Chapter 2

My father stared at me like I was an alien. My mother looked really surprised. Beatrice was up next. "Beatrice Prior." My father seemed to forget all about me, and focused intently on which faction she would choose. Obviously, my father thought SHE would choose Abnegation. He was wrong. She walked up to the stage and took the knife. Beatrice slit her skin and let her blood drop into… Dauntless. Not only was my dad surprised, but I was too. My mother just stared at her with love. I wonder why she didn't stare at me like that. I had thought that Beatrice would be selfless this time, after… what I did. I guess not. Well that was the end of that. Time to go to Erudite Headquarters, where we would start Initiation. We got on the train and headed downtown. The train never really stopped, so we would have to use math and physics to get off the train. A kid to my left was busy doing math in his mind and using his finger as if he could see it. I didn't have the time to do the entire math, since I was a transfer, so I would get of when he got off. I kept watching him, and then finally, he just walked of. I did the same and landed on a cracked piece of sidewalk. Then I followed the kid, since I had a feeling he was not a transfer.

We then saw one of the leaders of the Erudite. Her name was Jeanine. I had heard of her at the dinner table, when my father was complaining about the "wild" and "deceitful" articles she wrote about Abnegation. Jeanine started to speak. "Now, I know some of you are transfers, and some of you are born to Erudite. But, in the end, you all now become Erudite. So, enough of this chit-chat, lets get started on Initiation!" Everyone started to cheer.
