Chapter 2: Choosing Ceremony

Tris

I make my way over to the abnegation section to the room. I look over to the right and see Zeke sitting next to a boy from Abnegation. Marcus's son, Tobias I think. I wait patiently as the leader of Dauntless, Max steps up and starts the opening speech.

"Welcome to the Choosing Ceremony. In Dauntless we aren't much for speeches, after all eloquence is for Erudite, so let's get started Zornoff, Ashley" I quickly tune my ears of watching each person walks towards the stage and decide their faction for the rest of their lives.

"Ebon, Ezekiel." I turn my attention over to Zeke and watch as he strolls forward grasping the silver knife in his hand before spilling his blood over the burning coals that represent Dauntless. I continue to watch as Dauntless yells and cheers for its newest initiate.

Turning my head back towards the stage I hear "Eaton, Tobias". I watch as a young boy walks up towards the stage, accepting the knife and hesitate over the grey stones representing Abnegation, before tilting his hand over the burning coals. Dauntless.

The Abnegation crowd around me starts to murmur, Tobias is the first Abnegation to transfer to Dauntless. Sure we have had transfers to Amite but never Dauntless.

As the crowd disperses, I watch Zeke start to jog with the others towards the train, as he reaches the door he turns for a second, catching my eyes before the crowd pushes him forward.

I sit down beside an abnegation boy and look around. I look over to the left and see my family siting proudly waiting for me to make the biggest decision of my life. I turn to the right and see Bea sitting next to her family in the Abnegation section. I sit restless to start my training as the leader of Dauntless, Max steps up and starts the opening speech.

"Welcome to the Choosing Ceremony. In Dauntless we aren't much for speeches, after all eloquence is for Erudite, so let's get started Zornoff, Ashley" I quickly tune out, watching each person walks towards the stage and decide their faction for the rest of their lives.

"Ebon, Ezekiel." I stroll forward grasping the silver knife in my hand allowing some blood to collect in the palm of my hand before spilling my blood over the burning coals that represent Dauntless. I walk over to join the other Dauntless initiates as Dauntless yells and cheers for its newest initiate.

I turn my head back towards the stage hearing "Eaton, Tobias". I watch as the quiet Abnegation boy who sat beside me walks up towards the stage, accepting the knife and hesitate over the grey stones representing Abnegation, before tilting his hand over the burning coals. Dauntless.

I watch as the Abnegation crowd around me starts to murmur, Tobias is the first Abnegation to transfer to Dauntless. I catch Bea's look of shock and wonder if the boy knew my best friend.

As the ceremony finishes I start to jog with the other initiates towards the train, as I reach the door I turn for a second, catching Bea's eyes before the crowd pushes me forward.

I jump onto the train and face the Abnegation boy saying "Hey I'm Zeke" shaking his hand

He turns to look at me and says "Tobias"

I study him for a moment before asking "hey do you know Bea?"
