So here we are again, it's a cycle. I post, saying that I won't update anytime soon, you guys blow me away with reviews, favs, and follows, I get excited and write for you guys. I love you so much! Guess what guys?! You'll never believe it! I got my first threat! You know what I mean. The: update or else… thank you so much! I love you guys so much! I heard my parents and friends and shit telling me that my writing was good, but I never really believed them. I always thought they were just saying that because it's them. But it means so much from you guys! Now, there's something I'd like to address. A lot of people want me to go straight to Tris's ceremony, and that's what I was originally planning, but after writing that last chapter, I'd like to go into Toby's dauntless time. let me know what you guys think! If you don't like I I'll make it a side story and just jump to Tris, but I really think you guys will like this! So, after this long-ass A/N, here it is! (Just so you know, I haven't read the transfer yet so I'm making a lot of this up.) also, I'm not going to have Toby be afraid of heights in this story.
Songs of the chapter: Colors of the rainbow and numb

Tobias's POV the Train
I'm surrounded by strangers. The train is moving too fast to walk around so I just stand there with the other transfers. They are all talking and making new friends but just watch them. I didn't come here to make new friends. I have all I need. She's just not right here right now. God Tris I miss you already. How am I going to survive two whole years without you? How?
I start to see the tops a buildings as the train nears the dauntless compound. Why are the track so high? How are we going to get off of the train? The dauntless are jumping in the cars in front. What?
"Are they JUMPING?" I hear a voice ask.
"The dauntless value bravery, apparently they like the THRILL of almost dying." I respond, turning around to see a tall Erudite boy with shaggy black hair, bright green eyes, and tan skin.
"And that means jumping off of moving trains to fall to our death?"
"Come on, it'll be fun." I try to encourage him. More and more people are jumping, soon we will have to. "It's this or factionless." He still won't go.
"Please don't make me" he's begging me now
"Then you'll be factionless." He takes a deep breath and seems to be steeling his nerves.
"I- can you push me?" what? Oh, yeah. I nod yes. I'm not here to make friends, but if this guy is reaching out to me, there's no reason I should turn away. It's not like he has to be my best friend, but a few friends might be help me wait for Tris. Even if this guy's a wimp, he's better than nothing.
It's time. now or never. If we don't jump now, we'll be factionless.
"Come ON!" I yell as I grab his hand and use the momentum to swing him out into open air. He looks like he wishes he chose a different faction. It looks actually pretty scary. I feel as if I might puke. But I have to be dauntless. Both for me and for Tris. Come on Tobias jump. You can do it. I can hear her sweet voice telling me to jump. Jump.
And with that, I jump. If I die I die. The fall is horrible, but years with Marcus taught me to hide my emotions well. So while I'm freaking out on the inside, I look calm and collected on the outside like 'I do this every day bitches'. As I hit the roof I roll, keeping my ankles non broken. as the rest of the transfers jump, I look around for the black haired guy I was talking to on the train.
"Hey my man" I feel a hard slap on back and turn to see the guy I was talking to before.
"Tobias Eaton" If this guy wants to reach out to me, there's no reason I shouldn't tell him my name.
"What?" he asks confused.
"My name, Tobias Eaton."
"OH! Percy, Percy Jackson." (Fangirling)
"Listen up! My name is Max! I am one of the leaders of your new faction!" yells a tallish man with brown skin and dark brown hair. "if you can't muster the courage to jump off this ledge, you don't belong here. Initiates first. No one Wants to fall to their death. I know this is a scare tactic, but one fall to your death to another would get anyone slightly jumpy. Never the less, I walk up to the ledge. This is just to scare us, we'll be fine. This is just… I repeat it over and over in my head. Knowing that they don't want us to die and it's just to scare us is what makes me step onto the ledge. I am brave. I am dauntless. I close my eyes and fall forward.
The air rushes around me, almost like a cocoon. My heart's beating a mile a minute.
I can feel the ground getting closer. It's just that feeling. When I do land, I feel the ground give way and I bounce a few times before coming to a stop. My eyes fly open. It's a trampoline! I've seen the candor and amity play on them before but never had the chance to be on one myself because it would be self-indulgent.
"What's your name?" I hear a well-built man with dark hair ask.
"Tobias." I look him dead in the eye. Nothing and no one is going to intimidate me.
"First jumper- Tobias!" he then turns to me "Welcome to dauntless."
When all of the initiates are on the ground and announced, the dauntless born and the transfers split up.
"My name is Amar, I will be your instructor for initiation." The man who announced me says. "This is the pit, you will learn to love it…."
Let's see what our dear Trissy poo is doing
Tris POV
I miss Tobias more that I knew I could. That one year was bad enough; but I could just close all of my feelings and tell myself that he never cared so I shouldn't either. But now we both know that's not true. And now that I know that he feels the same way, it's impossible to think about anything else. Or anyone else. My parents were upset with me for leaving the ceremony early and talking to Tobias. Again, yelling about selfishness and locked in my room.
Right now I'm at our river. Mine and Tobias's. When he left me that year, I would come here to remind me of him. It's like a little piece of Tobias is still here. Now that he has gone to dauntless, I go to this place even more. Not really doing anything. Just sitting, watching the water and the trees. The wind in my hair reminds me of the day I met him. That makes me start to cry all over again. What if when I go to dauntless, he's not the same Tobias and he hates me? What if he doesn't remember me? What if… I spend the rest of the night thinking of what if's that make me cry even harder. Crying myself to sleep.
When I wake up, it's still dark outside, so I still have a few hours before I have to leave this place and act like nothing's wrong. I want to stay here and never leave for two years, but I can't. I can't do anything I want to do, this is abnegation. I never have, and I never will. So I have to leave. Forever.
Toby POV: First day of training
"The first thing you will do today is learn how to shoot a gun, the second thing is how to win a fight." Amar says as he passes guns to everyone. When he reaches me he presses it in my hands and looks me dead in the eye. Hard cold eyes on mine. He seems to be trying to intimidate me. it won't work. I'm here for Tris, and me, and for us to be together, and that means I do whatever I can to 'win' initiation. To prove that stiffs can win so that she can show everyone just how powerful she is. she could do it on her own, but if no one gives her a chance then she can't show them what she can do and then she might not even make it to be a full dauntless.
I wouldn't be able to bear it if after all we had worked for us to be together; in dauntless, free, all went down the drain because I didn't do my job. And then there's the whole issue of me getting to be dauntless. I can fight, but the last two stages I might not pass. Mental. Bravery ius about getting over your fears, and if this test is mental, I have a lot of fear in me. that why I came here to dauntless. To get AWAY from my fear, not go right back into it. I always knew I'd have to face Marcus sometime, but not now. Not without Tris right beside me. Why couldn't we have been born the same age?
Tris, I miss you so much, even though it's only been a day, not nearly as long as a year. But it's so much harder because before it's almost like I could tell myself that I was protecting her, and I could at least see her every day at school, even if we didn't talk to each other. I still knew she was safe and sound. But now, for all I know, Marcus could be beating her right this second. And there's nothing I can do to stop it. It'd be all my fault. No one knows that more than me.
Sorry it's short and shitty. I was so blown away by you guys that I had to update! This chapter isn't edited so that I could get it out quicker. I think my grammar and spelling are fine but if you guys think I need it I could look for a beta. You guys wear the pants in this relationship. Also, THIS IS NOT A CROSSOVER! Yes, I used Percy but only because I find it easier top use someone else's Characters than inventing my own. On that topic, If you guys want to sent in an OC, just sent me their name, which of the five factions they came from, which of the five factions they are in, their age, gender, past (it doesn't have to be bad), their personality, and any other additional information you want me to put in. I love you guys more than words can say! I really do! Thank you so much for all of the support I you guys send me and the favs, and follows. I you can feel free to send me feedback via review or PM. I take constructive criticism, fluff, and even flames. As long as it stays strictly about my story/writing we're good. But if you say anything bad about me as a person or my personal life I won't hesitate to ruin yours. Thanks again you guys! I love you so much!
