I hope you guys Enjoy!
Tris rubs her belly. Today marks the fifteenth week of her pregnancy. She knows they are in the middle of a war but she can't help but be ecstatic. She will find out the gender in just five more weeks.
Tris smiles at herself in the mirror as she makes her way to her home office. Eric had set it up so she wouldn't find any excuse to move around much. She turns her laptop on and finds an anonymous email from the control room.
She clicks open the file and sees it contains all secret meetings of Max and Jeanine. She watches and listens intently as they talk about the war and eliminating Abnegation and Factionless. Jeanine believes the two to be sheltering the Divergents.
The last file arrived anonymously from Erudite. It was from Matthew who explained the new ally they had. Nita was an Erudite transfer instructor. She mostly worked with Erudite tech and security. Matthew mentions that she knows something is up and she showed him this footage from Jeanine's secret lab that she hacked.
The footage shows the meeting between Jeanine, Max and a couple of Dauntless and Erudite as they discuss the reward of helping her in imposing martial law and massacring civilians. Not all faces are clear and Tris knows that they have to be extra careful now that they are treading on thin ice.
Today is the choosing day for the new initiates. Tris, Four, Eric, Nita and Susan will be busier with the initiates. They have to earn their trust. Nita is let in the current plan too and she promised to try her hardest in the research. Tris sighs as she jumps off the train in front of the hub. Eric will explode when he finds out I used the train. she thinks as she walks inside.
After the ceremony ends Tris calls out all the Dauntless chosen initiates together. "Hello everyone! My name is Tris and I am one of your instructors. This year Dauntless initiation will be different in many ways. Initiation is very hard and has began already. If you pass everything, you are one of us in other case you can be Factionless or worse dead. So follow my lead and I will lead you to the Dauntless compound." she says as they gulp and look at each other. Tris smiles to ease the tension. It works.
She takes off running down the stairs as the initiates follow her. They stop behind her as she climbs the platform and motions them to follow. Everyone except one Amity boy fail as the others follow their instructor. The Dauntless borns already know some things about initiation and about her while she knows the transfers are in for a surprise.
She hears the train approaching and yells "It doesn't stop. So just run a bit, grab the handle and pull yourself in. This is also a part of your initiation." She runs beside the train as they follow and pulls herself in easily. The Dauntless borns cheer as they get in while the transfers struggle. Tris grabs a Candor boy who is falling behind and pulls him in. They all sigh in relief and she smiles.
After a while she tells them to jump on the roof of the compound. They all jump but Tris stays back as the train passes the closest part of the roof and jumps out. "Welcome to Dauntless. I am one of your leaders here if you make it. My name's Eric. If you wanna be a part of us then you have to go through the initiates entrance. Who will go first?" Eric asks as Tris steps on the ledge beside him.
He pulls her in his arms and kisses her lovingly as most of the initiates stare dumbfounded at the scary leader and their instructor. They part and Tris waves at the initiates and jumps. They hear hoots and hollers as Four announced "First jumper. Tris!"
They decided that all initiates will be trained together. Jeanine thinks it will help Tris sniff out Divergents as well as save time and effort.
Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Rita, Brian, Bryce, James and Maxwell are the eight Dauntless born initiates while Mila, Octavia, Christina, Rose, Myra, Molly, Emma, Ansel, Edward, Peter, Andrew, William and Jai were transfers.
Mila and Octavia were from Amity just as promised by their ally Robert Black who made sure to secretly promote choosing Dauntless. Christina, Rose, Molly, Peter and Andrew were all Candor transfers. Edward, Myra, Jai and William were Erudite borns while Ansel and Emma were from Abnegation.
Tris smiled to herself as she remembered that Susan was helping the confused eighteen year olds in determining their choice based on their character and personalities which resulted in two transfers from Abnegation.
Tris walks towards the chasm where Eric is yelling at a hanging Christina about never giving up. Christina looks like she is gonna fall so Tris decides that it's enough. She helps her up and yells at the top of her lungs "We are Dauntless. We are the protectors and people rely on us for their security. We do not give up when we or the others are in danger. Giving up is cowardice and intolerable in this faction which values bravery. Next time anyone who concedes is Factionless. Got it. We need to be strong. You are Dismissed!"
The next month passes quickly with Tris, Four and Eric training them physically. Teaching them fighting, shooting and throwing all the while pushing them to their limits. Tris is the most approachable and sweet instructor and they ask her questions and tips for becoming better. They also played capture the flag in which Tris' team won. She takes the initiates zip-lining and on other trips frequently which made her the most liked instructor.
after stage one was finished, the initiates had two days off before visiting day and Tris took them to have fun in the Navy Pier. They ate, talked, laughed and played all day long. The next day they were free to do anything. The next day was visiting day and nearly everyone's families came. That gave Tris a way to contact some loyal friends without raising any suspicion.
She met Cara and her close friend Naomi who was Jeanine's personal assistant for developing serums. Naomi expressed her concerns on the control serum and it's effects. Cara, Naomi, Tris, Harrison and Eric discussed about the upcoming war and serums for two hours in her apartment before departing and spending time with family and other people. Naomi was tested by Tris and declared loyal to their cause and she swore loyalty and secrecy to the Allegiant; the loyal group of civilians.
The next two weeks pass by in fear simulations. Tris and some loyal Dauntless start bonding with the initiates. By the end of stage two the initiates focused on strength and teamwork and their trust in the instructors. The Dauntless born initiates and most of the transfers were deemed useful and loyal. Molly and Andrew were factionless due to attempted abuse. They were jealous of Tris getting attention and love and decided to hurt her baby. Eric and Four caught them red handed and they were shunned.
Stage three had fear landscapes. This was also a new part of initiation thanks to Tris. The landscapes created dangerous scenarios and four people went as a team. They weren't aware of the reality and the only way to pass it was to defeat the landscape with bravery and camaraderie. Each time the initiates went in, they had different partners. By the end of stage three, they had become very quick and efficient.
The last test included two parts. One was to face all of their fears logically and quickly alone. The second was for all the initiates, Dauntless borns and transfers to go in the group fear landscape together. This lasted for two hours consecutively and they faced eight different horrifying situations.
They all had passed and done well. Tris was suspicious of Peter and James and they weren't let in on her plan.
During the entire initiation, Tris had seen Eric to be cold and sadistic. She was surprised because in their solitude he was always sweet and loving. They had also secretly contacted Johanna, the Amity representative, Jack Kang the Candor leader (and Christina's uncle) and Evelyn who was leading Factionless.
They presented evidence with security tapes, confidential files and the control serum given by Jeanine. Candor and Factionless decided to ally with the Allegiant while Amity became a safe house who will step in if the plan goes wrong. The initiates prove to be loyal and passionate and joined the Allegiant in their secret plan.
What they didn't know was that someone who wasn't included in the plan overheard a part of their plan and went straight to the Erudite.
Hey everyone! I hope you liked the chapter. A lot of characters are OC and some parts are from the book.
Tris is twenty three weeks pregnant now.
Christina and Rose are sisters.The war's coming up. Who do you think is the Erudite spy?
Happy reading :)
