"Listen up! I'm Eric. I'm one of your leaders."

He looks so different in his work mode. We all gather around him by the ledge he is standing on. "The entrance to Dauntless is down there. You have to jump, and if you can't, then leave." Nobody moved.

"Well someone has to jump first. Who wants to go?"

Honestly, I think the Dauntless have a jumping fetish. Like we had to jump on the train, jump off the train onto a rooftop, and now we have to jump off the roof. What the hell is wrong with these people? People were not kidding when they said the Dauntless were crazy.

A Dauntless-born guy goes first and jumps with ease. We all peer over the edge and- that is one big drop! I don't want to jump, but I know if don't then I won't become Dauntless. I know I'm stronger than that. My eyes are wide. I turn to Mason and start to shake my head.

"It's okay Morgan. It's okay. All you have to do is jump and then you fall for a split second it will be okay," he reassures me.

"Mason I'm scared. I hate heights."

"It's okay. You will be okay. Just go after me. Okay?" I just nod my head yes because I trust Mason and he always told me," If I can do it then so can you. Okay?"

I smile at him again. I feel so much more confident. The next thing I know is that he just went second. Dude! I'm so not ready for this.

"You're burning daylight. Come on! Who is next?" Well I know now that Eric is an impatient man. I know not to get on his bad side.

I slowly walk up to the ledge. I look towards Eric and he looked like he just had shock written all over his face. Before I make my way to the ledge I turn to Eric and say," It's nice to see you again Eric." He smirks and say, "Same to you. Glad you decided to join Dauntless." I nod my head and step up on the ledge.

From up where I am this is so scary. I really just want to string a line of curse words right now, but I cant even talk because I'm so scared. "Don't make me push you Grayson."

Right then and there I took a deep breathe, counted to three, and 1...2...3...

"Aaahh!" I then hit something rope like. Once I stop bouncing, I look down and see a net. I find it a little shocking that I didn't wonder what would catch us at the bottom.

Looking to my left, I see Mason. He is smirking. All I do is glare at him for making me jump third. My goodness that was scary.

"What is your name? You can change it if you want, but you will not be able to pick again. Make it good," some tall guy says. Okay. Well I never been on board with the whole name changing thing. There really isn't a particular name I want, so I'm going to stick with my birth name. "Morgan."

"Third jumper, Morgan!" People start to clap, and I make my way over to Mason.

"You are evil." I tell him. "Well you would have talked yourself out of it if I hadn't done it quickly. You don't necessarily think under pressure. You just do." I can't argue with him. Once everyone was down, we continue with initiation.

"Dauntless-born go with Lauren. Transfers stay here." the tall guy says. " I will be your instructor and my co-instructor here," he motions to a petite blonde girl," Tris, will assist me as we take you through the Dauntless Initiation process. My name is Four. Follow us."

We go down a couple of horribly- lighten hallways, and we come to this giant place. "This is The Pit," says Tris. "This is the center of life here at Dauntless. When we aren't working, we are relaxing here." We leave to get some new clothes and make our way to a room with beds lined up." This is where the nine of you will stay for the next ten weeks. Boys and girls will stay here. The bathrooms are over there." Tris points to a very open place.

"Get dress and meet Tris and I in the cafeteria. It's right next to the Pit." They then make their exit. They are holding hands. Power couple. Okay back at the task at hand. I have to get dressed in front of the boys. No biggy.

I was actually the first girl to strip. I just turned to face the wall on the opposite side of the room and replaced my shirt with a black tank. I then sat on the bed and took off my pants, and put on some black skinnies with some lace up boots. I see that Alex, the Abnegation, and the Amity do the same as me. Candor girl just stripped with no problem, and Mason and Jai are drooling over her. This is the part where I roll my eyes and walk out with Alex making our way to The Pit.

All the transfers sit at a table with Four and Tris. Of course 'The Inseparable Four' sit together. Alex and I sit together with Alex by Tris. Jai is on the opposite side between Four and Mason while in front of Alex. The Amity girl sits by Mason and the Abnegation sits by me. The three Candor just kind of sat together in their own world. "So Dauntless guys..." Alex attempts to get a conversation started.

"I think it's a bit bizarre that I'm in here." We all turn our heads to the Amity girl. "Hi. My name is Jacqueline."

We smile and say hi to her. "So you are from Amity? Why did you leave?" I pipe in.

"Well I kept getting into trouble for not being too nice when I was being bullied in school. You see in Amity, when bullied, you are to shrug and turn the other cheek. I was all like 'Bitch touch me again, I will rip your throat out'." We bust out laughing.

"That is bizarre," I turn to the Abnegation girl next to me, "What's your name?" She looks up and ask, "Who me?" I nod and say," Yeah. What is your name? My name is Morgan." I then point out all my friends and Jacqueline. She says," My name is Nicole."

"Nice to meet you Nicole." She smiles and joins in the conversation with us. We exchange questions and answers like 'Why did we leave? What made you want to come to Dauntless? and the simple things in life. Jacqueline was in the middle of an interesting story of trying to capture her hamster until she was cut short due to someone approaching the table.

"Well Caesar was-" We turn and see Eric. He is talking to Four and Tris. Four turns and says, "What are y'all looking at?" I just roll my eyes because his attempt at being threatening was horrible. Jacqueline and Nicole turn their heads while Mason and the rest of us just look.

"These are all the transfers Four?" He nods his head to Eric's question. "Well they are indeed diverse. How many Divergent?"

"Two: Morgan and Mason." Eric just stares at us.

" I knew Mason was Divergent. I had the pleasure to talking to Mr. Callie the other day when I met her," Eric said while pointing at me," but I didn't expect a Grayson to be Divergent."

I laugh a little and say, "Eric, you know my name. I would appreciate if you would use it. I'm trying to forget the name Grayson at the moment." He smirks a little, "Of course Morgan. No problem. I can see why. Considering your parents think you are a criminal." I laugh at this part, remembering the first time I had met Eric.

"Yeah. I think they lived that down, but there are other reasons too."

"Of course. Every family has their problems." I rest my head on my hand and say ,"yeah..." Eric and I sit there for a few moments staring at each other. "Well these two must be Alexandria and Jai. Together I hear y'all are 'The Inseparable Four'." Jai jumps in, "Yep. We have been together since we were kids."

"Hm. Well it was nice meeting you three," Eric points to my friends," and it was nice seeing you again, Morgan." Adding emphasis like he did when he first met me. "And it was nice to see you again, Eric" I said. He then walked off to the other leaders which I assume are at the top of the cafeteria on the balcony.

I continue to eat. I lift my head to see everyone staring, even Tris and Four. "What?"

"Eric never treats anyone that nice." Four says.

"Yeah he has always been a brute to everyone," Tris pipes in,"What makes you different?"

I was about to answer her question until the Dauntless started banging their cups on the table.

"I'm Max, one of the leaders of Dauntless. Initiates. Stand." We all stand up together. "You have chosen the warrior faction. You will go through many test as we will test your strength and courage. If you pass you will be a member, but if you don't meet our requirements then you don't belong here. I wish you all good luck. Welcome to Dauntless."

The next thing I know is I'm being lifted in the air and being carried around. I feel free. Welcome to Dauntless indeed.
