Hi guys, I'm so sorry if I'm being mean or weird by making Four propose to Tris by the Candor or Dauntless game. But I hope this chapter goes better than the last one. INITIATION DAY! Disclaimer: I don't own divergent if I do again, I won't make Tris or anyone else die.
Chapter 3
Before that, we are going to pretend that we are not related
TRIS POV
Today is my first initiation training day slash the first choosing day. The Dauntless leaders were informed yesterday, the abnegation and the factionless would be working together doing the same jobs together. I know that this was possible because Marcus had no memories and he is now with some abnegations in the hospital. Tobias seemed relieved, happy even hearing this news about his father not being a dominion over the Abnegations. I thought about this while I was brushing my hair asking the simplest question to myself. Ponytail or no ponytail? After making Tobias look at me in both, I finally confirmed to go with a ponytail. Tobias had asked why am I worrying this much about my appearance. I've answered that I don't know.
After spending so much time getting ready, I forgot about the choosing ceremony and today was the Dauntless turn to say this quote about the factions manifesto. I grabbed a muffin from the Cafeteria-vanilla with chocolate chips- while chewing it, I ran towards the train station with Tobias. As I jump in, I realized that I might actually belong here. In the train, I met Christina, Uriah, Zeke, and Shauna. I don't know how Shauna got here, considering the fact that she has a wheelchair. I guess Zeke and Uriah had some hard times.
-Time skips *inside the choosing ceremony room*-
I sat in front of the Dauntless seats with Tobias, Uriah, Zeke, and Shauna. Christina decided to say the manifesto. I started "To..I mean four" Tobias looked up then smiled. "Remember we are not related at the moment. So you might as well as get used to the name first." I groan. Then turned my gaze to now entering Abnegation. Of course most of the factionless are dressed in gray too. Then somebody shocked me. The Erudite leader. Was Caleb! I've never got the chance to think about where he was. I need to talk to him. So I whispered to Tobias "I need to talk to Caleb." Tobias nodded but also added. "Be quick the ceremony starts like 3 minutes."
I walked over to Caleb. When he had noticed me he started. "Beatrice! I'm so sorry I should have gone in and been there for you..." I cut him off. "Caleb how did you become a leader?" "I don't know, I guess they wanted me to be one. But I swear I'm NOT going to be like Jeanine Mattews. If I do I allow you to shoot me in the face." He answered. Just like that Caleb walked off to talk to some Erudite woman as I walked back to my seat at the Dauntless section.
The abnegation and the Candor immediately quiet down as Christina walked up to the stage in front of the bowls. She clapped two times and cried "Quiet please!" To quiet down the Dauntless, amity and Erudite. When everyone was quiet, Christina began. "Long time ago our ancestors built this city as an experiment. But I have realized now that this is the only way to make peace. The once who blamed selfishness formed the Abnegation, (with this the abnegation exchanged small smiles) the ones who blamed cowardice formed dautless, (there was cheers and 'whoops' from dauntless. I smiled a little) the ones who blamed ignorance and stupidity formed the erudite, the ones who blamed violence formed the amity and the ones who blamed dishonesty formed the candor. Now you are to choose any factions regardless of your original faction or your aptitude test." I fall into my own thoughts as Christina started reading the names.
After the everybody had made his or her choice the dauntless ran down the stairs screaming and laughing. I've always adored this side of the dauntless. My lungs burn from the running but I don't care. I run with Tobias and the others to the train station. I could hear the initiations saying "are we supposed to jump on?" and I smile at Tobias and smiles back. I feel free.
I think it's time for Tobias and me to suck the living daylight out of them.
