AN: Thanks so much for reading! If you have any ideas let me know. If enough people want a sequel to A New Initiation, I might make one. Please review! I'm sorry I can't update that often because of school.
Nat POV
Dad's arm stays around my shoulders as we leave the training room.
"What was the meeting about?" I ask.
"I'll tell you soon" Dad replies. He leads me to the apartment. I'm confused. Dad unlocks the door and we all enter. The smell of Mom's spaghetti fills the room and it makes my stomach growl.
"Come sit, dinner will be ready soon" says Mom. I take a seat at the dining table.
"Ok, so the meeting?" I say.
"Right" Dad says, taking a seat across from me. "The faction leaders have agreed, well somewhat agreed, to let one ambassador come to each faction. Does that make sense?"
"Uh, sort of" I say as Mom takes a seat next to Dad.
"One ambassador from each faction will stay here for two days and observe Dauntless" Mom says.
"When?" I ask.
"Tomorrow in the afternoon" Dad answers.
"They will all come around different times, which is a pain in the ass" Mom says.
"I guess it could be worse" I say. They nod.
"I didn't want them to come, it was all Erudite's idea" Dad says. Before we can talk more, Jess and Carter come home.
"I smell spaghetti!" yells Jess happily. I smile and Carter punches her arm.
"It will be ready in a few" Mom says as she leaves the table. I inhale the heavenly smell.
"Watcha talkin about?" asks Jess.
"Nothing" Dad says dismissively. Jess doesn't question it. Carter sits down and taps his fingers.
"I'm bored" He says. I laugh.
"You just got here" I say.
"I know, but I'm bored" he says. I roll my eyes and Dad snorts.
"You don't make sense" Jess says.
"Dinner!" Mom calls. We all shoot up and run to the kitchen. Dad pulls me back and pushes ahead of me. Mom laughs as he stands first in line.
"Back of the line, cheater" she teases. Dad pouts and I laugh as he obeys. Now I'm first. Mom scoops out noodles and sauce and puts it in my bowl. I take my seat and dig in. The table is quiet as we eat like the pigs we are.
I sit after dinner with a full stomach.
"I'm going to tell everyone about the meeting" Dad says.
"Ok" Mom answers. Mom begins explaining the meeting to Jess and Carter, but I zone out.
"I'm gonna head back. Bye" I say, giving hugs to each of them.
"Bye. Love you" Mom says. I wave and leave.
I enter the dorm and get ready. The dorm is empty. As soon as my head touches the pillow, I'm out.
I wake up early the next morning. I look at the clock and it reads 5:10. I groan and get up, knowing I won't be able to fall asleep again. I quickly get dressed and head to the apartment. On my way, I see two Erudite standing in the middle of the pit. The bright blue of their clothes make them stand out. The man tries the get the attention of the few passing Dauntless but they ignore him or growl some swears at him. I walk past him and he touches my elbow.
"Excuse me, can you help me?" he asks. The young girl stand behind him quietly.
"Maybe" I say.
"I'm looking for someone. Her name is Beatrice Prior" he says. Sounds familiar.
"I don't know a Beatrice, but my parents are leaders. They might know" I say. He brightens.
"Thank you" he says. I nod and lead them towards the apartment. I knock on the door and wait. Dad opens the door and yawns. His eyes narrow when he sees the two Erudite.
"Come in" he says. He isn't wearing a shirt, and I can see the elaborate tattoo on his back that always impresses me. Dad walksinto thee bedroom to gt Mom and then walks out. A second later, Mom enters and tosses Dad a shirt which he pulls on. She freezes momentarily when she sees the Erudite, but quickly regains her composure.
"Have a seat" she says, indicating to the table. They take a seat, and so do we.
"What brings you here so early?" asks in his Four voice.
"Well I'm Caleb and I am an ambassador for Erudite. I was supposed to come this afternoon, but then I decided to come early to try to find my sister and I thought, 'why not bring my daughter along,' so yeah" the man, Caleb, says.
"Caleb," Mom says, "It's me, Beatrice." I knew I heard that name somewhere. Dad slides his arm around Mom's waist protectively.
"Is it really you?" Caleb asks. Mom nods.
"You changed so much" Caleb says.
"You did too" Mom says stiffly.
"Girls, why don't you go into Nat's room" Dad says softly. I can here the order in his voice. We stand, and I lead the girl to my room.
"What's your name?" I ask. The girl looks about 13 and she had auburn hair to her shoulders and blue eyes.
"Evangeline" the girl says. She looks around the room and sniffs. I resist the urge to roll my eyes. If Caleb is my Mom's brother, Evangeline is my cousin. Great, I meet a new cousin, and I already want to punch her in the face.
