Tris PoV

That conversation must have been one of the longest conversations i've ever had in my life. Questions, answers, pity, more questions, more pity. You name it, she said it. Tobias and Will just stood at the side with smirks on their faces. I occasionally gave them a sideways glance, pleading for help. But help seemed distant.

After finally getting away from the conversation, we head home. We sit on the sofa, awkwardly exchanging glances.

"That was... Eventfull," Tobias finally said. I nodded, not willingly to carry on the conversation. I think he realised. "We really should get dinner". With that, we head off to the dining hall. Tomorrow, we begin to train the initiates. I'm sort of looking forward to it. We sit down with our usual group, only to recieve gobsmacked faces and peculiar glances. More bruises must have appeared. Great. Time to explain, i think to myself. We explain the situation, calming the tension in the air. I catch a glance of Eric, limping along the queue. I look down as i see his head turn. Slowly, i look around for any sign of Peter. He's a wimp, he won't be back for ages. I pick at my hamburger, only nibbling the edges. Nothing happens. Nobody speaks. This is unenjoyable. We leave and head back home. We talk, nothing much and head to bed.

"Hey Tris, i want you to know, i'm always here. Your not going anywhere alone now." Wow, i thought he would never say anything else.

"Ok. I'm ready for tomorrow. I'm going to be Six." He smirks and i slap him. He continues to smile. "Lets keep our relationship a secret." He nods sadly. I feel bad but i suppose it's for the best. We say our goodnights and fall into a dreamless sleep.

The next morning passes quickly. I get up, eat and change. I put on some skinny black jeans, black (of course!) sleeveless top and my new combat boots. As soon as we're ready, we head to the net. I stand there and watch as Eric does his speech. Then I hear a scream. A bundle of grey falls from the sky and lands in the net. Abnegation. First jumper. Tobias gives me one last smile and then turns into instructor mode. I walk over to the net, pulling the rope down as she rolls to the edge.

"Name?" I question.

"April."

Tobias makes the annoucment. "First jumper - April!"

Cheers and clapping erupt from the crowd. "Welcome to Dauntless."

In total we have 18 initiates. A large group this year. 8 Dauntless born and 10 transfers. The transfers:

April - Abnegation

Ira - Erudite

Maya - Erudite

Shailene - Candor

Zac - Candor (He's like a tiny Peter)

Charlie - Candor

Max - Erudite

Charlotte - Amity

Harrison - Amity

Orla - Erudite

"Dauntless born with Uriah and Christina. Take it you won't need a tour." Tobias announces.

The initiates stand infront of us, the most colour i've seen in a while.

After scanning the crowd for any familiar faces I say "Welcome to Dauntless. This is Four and i'm Six." I wait, anticipating an answer. Sure enough, Ira puts her hand up. I nod.

"You mean like the numbers. Wait, what happened to your face?" she asks.

I pull out my gun from my back pocket. I feel Tobias's hand grab my shoulder but i shake it off. I place the barrell on her forehead. I hear gasps around me .

"First lesson you learn here is to keep your mouth shut. This is a loaded gun aimed at you. Act like you care. What happened is none of your buisness."

That shut her up. "Follow me." The tour is endless. After what seems an eternity, we head to the Dining Hall. We sit down at our table. I keep seeing Maya eyeing Four. God, i want to slap her.

"Tris scared the life out of a Erudite today. Loaded gun on her forehead. Never thought Tris had it in her!" Tobias remarks. I elbow him playfully. We share laughs and then Uriah stands up on the table.

"Party at my place. Six o'clock! My place!" Christina gives me a look. No. Not now. Oh great. Shopping time.

I head back to her apartment, carrying over ten bags. Christina chooses my outfit. Short black mini skirt and a lacy black top. She hands me some small heels and applies a thin layer of make up.

"Four will love it!" she squeals. We head to the party to be greeted by Zeke handing out drinks at the door. I pass the offer.

"Looking good Tris..." I hear a voice say. I turn to see Tobias gazing at me. April, Ira and Maya stand in the corner watching us. I just feel like hugging him right now but it would give to much away.

"Everybody but my friends and the new initiates out!" Uriah shouts. That calms the room down. We all sit in a circle, ready play Dauntless or Candor. We explain how to play and Uriah starts.

"Chris, D or C?"

"Candor," she replies.

"Pansycake!" Uriah shouts. Christina gives him an evil glare.

"What's your worst fear?"

"Moths," she whispers, barely audible.

After minutes of laughter, we go back to the game.

"Tris, Candor or Dauntless?"

I answer...
