I am looking for a Beta! Anyone interested?

I don't own Divergent, I only own my OC's

Chapter 4

"Hey my name is Rob," I look up at the boy I had helped. His face wasn't as white anymore and he was breathing normally. When the fear of becoming factionless had washed over me, I had sat down and tried to relax my body. I am so glad that I wore pants today, else I wouldn't have been able to climb the bridge.

The boy in front of me is holding his hand out. I shake it and he sits down next to me: "Thanks for helping me. I would have become factionless, if it wasn't for you. You almost did. I promise I'll repay you for it someday."

"Yeah, sure," I don't really know what to say. For a short period I hated this guy, because I was going to become factionless. In that short moment, I really hated him and my own Abnegation side. I had wished I hadn't helped him. Everyone made it to the train without help, why couldn't this guy? But now, as I'm sitting on the train, I remember me thinking about becoming friends with him. He looks friendly and nice. I should just let go of what happened. That man helped me and I still have a change of becoming Dauntless: "I am Andy."

I don't know why I introduce myself as Andy. I am starting a new life for myself, why not let go of my old life, my old name. Or at least a part of it. Andy is my nickname after all. My family has always called me Andy. Only on rare occasions my parents called me Andrina. And my sister only calls me that when she's mad at me.

"I have a feeling we are in for a wild ride," Rob said smiling and I smile with him. He's right. These people are crazy, but that's why I chose them. Running those streets, climbing that bridge and trying to catch the train. I have never felt such a rush. It made me feel alive. For some reason the train feels more real, pressed against my back. Rob's hand felt more real when I touched it. That man's body felt more real while I was pressed against it.

I never experienced this kind of feeling at Erudite.

It must be a good sign.

The rest of the train ride I listen to the other initiates talk. They are excited. There are five kids from Candor, three from Erudite and two from Amity. Ten initiates. I don't know if that's a lot or not. I recognize all of them from school. I never talked with them though. Except the other two Erudite initiates. Their names are Sarah and Michael. I know them pretty good, well as good as someone with no friends can know people. They liked to mock me, along with their friends. I am kind of surprised to see them on this train. I didn't think they would leave Erudite. Both are smart and always seemed interested in learning more.

Then again, maybe they just lied and sucked up to the teachers. I remember them being the teacher's pets.

"They're jumping off!" Someone yells and I sit up. Apparently I had dozed off. How can I doze off on a moving train? Rob was standing at the door of the train compartment. He was looking at the front of the train. Dauntless were jumping off and landing on the roof of a building. I guess this is the next test. Are you willing to make the jump?

I could tell Rob was trembling. He's kind of a wimp, isn't he? Then again, it is a deep fall if you don't make it and the landing will probably hurt too. Maybe I should be trembling on my feet. But the strange thing is, I'm not scared. I want to jump. It seems fun and adventures. A smile crosses my face as I approach Rob. I wonder if he would jump on his own.

"Let's do it together," I suggest and pull him back. It might be easier for Rob if we jump while running. The other initiates jump one by one. Everyone is leaving the train and soon it's just Rob, me, the man who helped me and the man he was talking to. My eyes meet gray eyes. Is he wondering if I would jump?

"Come on Rob, on three. One… two…three."

I had to pull him with me. He really is a… what's the world the dauntless use…pansycake. He really is a pansycake. We jump and for a few seconds we hover in the air, before we crash on the roof. I let go of Rob's hand in midair. I land on my side and roll over a few times before I stop.

I can't believe I just jumped out of a moving train! That was amazing! My body is filled with adrenaline. I hope we get to do that again soon.

I stand up and see Rob lying on his back. I walk over to him. He isn't moving. Did he die from a heart attack in midair? I see him staring at the sky. His eyes meet mine and we both start laughing. I help him to his feet: "For a second I thought you were dead, pansycake."

"For second I thought I was dead," Rob told me. We followed the rest of the group initiates. They were standing at the edge of the roof. I wonder what the next test will be. Now that everyone was standing together, I realized there were more initiates then I first thought. I had forgotten about the Dauntless born initiates. There were fifteen of them. And they all look like they belong in this faction. They look fierce, bold and daring. I secretly want to be like them. Without the multiple tattoos and piercings.

"Listen up!" I stop looking at the other initiates and focus myself on the edge of the building. The man who helped me was standing on the ledge. He looked even more intimidating that way: "My name is Eric. I am one of the leaders of your new faction."

He's a leader? Damn, I didn't just get helped by a random Dauntless. I got saved by a Dauntless leader. I am so screwed. I'll have to prove myself extra if I want to impress this man. He doesn't look like the type that is easily impressed.

"Several stories below us, is the members entrance to our compound. If you can't muster the will to jump off, you don't belong here. The transfer initiates have the privilege of going first." Eric explained. I should feel scared, but it seemed exiting to jump. It's not like they would let us jump to our death. There will be something to catch us. Water or a net. Any Erudite would know that.

"You want us to jump off a ledge?" Sarah asked. She looked scarred. I guess not every Erudite would see the logic. Michael is looking over the edge. His face is also a bit white, but as I expected, he volunteers to jump first. I don't feel like jumping first. I'll wait with Rob. Maybe he needs the extra push again. I look at him, but he doesn't seem scarred this time: "It's not like they would let us jump to our death, right."

Apparently he's smarter than Sarah. I smile and nod. After Michael jumps, almost everyone wanted to see what happened to him. But the darkness didn't show anything. We only heard Michael laugh. After that the initiates weren't scarred anymore and they lined up to jump. Rob was one of them.

I wasn't really paying attention. I was more interested in where we were. I have never been in this part of the city. The buildings look old and I wonder where the Dauntless really live. Underground maybe.

In Erudite I lived in a small apartment. We lived with a lot of families in the building and it was one of the better looking once in the neighborhood. I guess my building was only for the families with good scientists in them. The buildings around the head building of Erudite were all kept in a good state. The buildings behind those weren't as important and they were older. If people wanted to renovate them, they had to do it themselves.

"Initiates, are you going to stay behind?" I turn around and see that all the initiates had jumped already. Was I spacing out that long? I was surprised to find out that Rob had jumped on his own. Maybe he isn't such a pansycake. Eric was the only one standing on the roof, standing on the edge: "It's a little late to back down now, wouldn't you say."

"Why would I back down? It's just jumping into, what I suspect is a net," I answer him honestly and walk towards the edge. I climb on it without showing fear. There was a small amount present in my stomach, but I wasn't going to show it in front of this guy.

Why? Why did it have to be a Dauntless leader that pulled me on the train?

"That's a very Erudite thing to say," Eric answers and looks at me. I turn my head to him. A shiver crawling down my spine again, when my eyes meet his. Am I feeling uncomfortable because of the power he represents? His eyes alone make me want to listen to what he has to say. How does a person become this powerful?

"Well I am still wearing their uniform, so I guess I am still aloud to be a smart mouth. Don't worry, I heard you guys have a few days to beat that out of me. Should be fun," I answer back. Maybe I shouldn't be such a smart mouth with this guy. He is a leader after all. If I make it to the end of initiates, I will have to take orders from him. Eric doesn't seem offended, then again his body language and eyes didn't change. Maybe he's just good at hiding his anger. He doesn't say anything and I'm starting to suspect that that's not a good thing.

I decide to switch the subject.

"Thanks for pulling me on the train. Wouldn't have made it without you," I say, trying to joke, to lighten the mood. It doesn't help. I'm starting to realize that I have made this man angry. And if I'm correct about the tension I'm feeling, I made him very angry. His eyes tell me, so I lower mine. I don't feel like pissing him off more.

"Jump initiates or I'll push you of the edge," Eric says after a few seconds. I didn't know what to do, so I just kept my mouth shut. When Eric spoke again, his voice was carrying a dangerous tone. I believed him when he said he would push me. I think he wanted to push me. A lot.

"Aya Captain," I said and let myself fall of the edge. Eric's face becomes a black spot fast and it didn't take long for me to reach the net.

I was right. Of course I'm right, it's completely logical that there would be a net at the bottom of this black hole. I couldn't suppress a small laugh. It escaped my mouth before I even realized it. While I stare up at the sky, I feel someone graph the net. I roll to the side and some other guy lifts me out of it. He's looks about the same age as Eric. Maybe he's a leader too?

"Eric needed to push you?" he asks and I feel my feet land on the ground. My legs tremble a little bit. I see Rob standing beneath us. We are standing on some sort of platform. I shook my head and looked at the guy: "No, we were just having a discussion about the weather. It's so nice today."

My answer makes this guy laugh. For a moment I thought he would be angry with me, like Eric. Speaking of the man, he came flying from the roof and landed in the net. He rolled out of it quickly, making him stand next to me and the new guy: "Hurray up Four, we're late!"

"What's your name?" Four asked me. What a weird name. He probably changed his just like I did. Maybe he wanted to leave his old life behind him too. He must be a transfer then. Eric doesn't look like a transfer. He was probably born and raised in this compound: "It's Andy."

"Last jumper, Andy. Welcome to Dauntless," Four says and I smile a little. This guy seems a lot nicer then Eric. I can't help but let my eyes wonder towards the man. For some reason his angry eyes are on me and Four. Maybe I should stay low for a while.

I follow Four down the platform and the group of initiates follows him, Eric and a nameless woman. Rob walks beside me and his smile reaches his ears. He must be proud of himself that he jumped on his own. His smile is contagious, but I can't think about it any longer. We are walking through the Dauntless compound. The place I want to call home.

I wonder what it looks like.
