Dredd got out of the way as the other members and transfers jumped out of the train. She watched as the transfers fell, just as she had, some harder than others. And she watched as the Dauntless members gracefully used their momentum to roll to their feet rather than face-plant.

They all gathered at one of the edges of the roof, there was a half wall about a meter high. Eric stood on the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. "Alright initiates, listen up. I'm Eric, one of the leaders of your new faction," he shouts.

Everyone quiets down and Dredd looks mildly surprised that he is a leader. "Behind me, a few stories down, is the member's entrance to the compound," as he continued the Candor transfer started to make her way, quietly, towards the front of the group.

"Initiates will be going first, to get in you have t-" "Could you move?" asked an arrogant voice from in front of Eric.

He looked down in surprise to see Dredd standing directly in front of him, but not on the wall.

Someone gasped. 'Did that girl seriously say that?' Eric thought. Zeke looked like he was trying to keep his jaw from hitting the floor, 'the quiet girl from the train just told Eric, the Eric, to move?! This chick must have a death wish!' Zeke thought.

Eric regained his composure and smirked down at her, "well someone's in a hurry" he said.

"I didn't come here to stand around and listen to speeches, I would have gone to Erudite if I did" she shot back. Eric raised a pierced eyebrow but moved over a few steps on the wall so she had room to get up.

She did and looked at him; he nodded and extended his hand over the side of the building in a 'go ahead' gesture. Someone in the back muttered, humorously, " she's gonna die."

She paid no attention to this and turned with a crazed grin to the others on the roof. She saluted with two fingers and jumped backward. When she jumped she not only did it backward but also, very much impulsively, she tucked her legs to her chest and fell doing, backspins the whole way. She thought, 'if I'm gonna die jumping might as well have fun, but today isn't my day to die anyway.'

Zeke sucked in a quick breath and choked on his spit. Someone had to thump him on the back to keep him from a death by gagging.

Eric looked impressed (not with Zeke, the girl) and Dredd whooped with joy. She landed in a net at the bottom on her back. Once she had passed the opening in the roof of the compound, there had been many surprised holders and cheers.

Crawling towards the edge of the net, a smile plastered on her face, she grabbed the hand of a tall, tanned, guy with dark blue eyes. He helped to the ground as another, female, voice said, "that was pretty gutsy, smart mouth."

Dredd's smile immediately fell off her face, replaced with a look of no emotion. "Just ignore Lauren," the boy said, "but that was a brave thing to do. What's your name?"

Before she could respond, Lauren cut in "hurry up Four, more will be coming soon." He glared at her then turned back to the initiate, "J" she said.

"The bird or the letter?" He asked.

"The letter."

He nodded then announced to everyone, "First jumper- J!" Then to her, he said, "Welcome to Dauntless."

Everyone cheered and J smiled, likening the sound of her new name. 'There Zeke, that will be my new name,' she thought with a smile. The crazy roar of cheers coming from the rowdy Dauntless crowd was strangely relaxing.

A mass of black-clothed people surrounded her, welcoming her into the faction. She stood with them waiting for the other initiates to come down.

By the time they all had jumped, most of the crowd had dispersed. The initiates grouped up again, standing in front of them was Four and Eric. Zeke was nowhere to be found. J shrugged inwardly, 'I'll see him later.'

"Ok, Dauntless-born with me," Lauren said and started walking off. "And transfers you stay here," Four said. There were no Amity or Abnegation transfers but a total of eleven transfers were from Erudite and Candor.

Mostly all of the transfers were talking among themselves as they walked behind Four and Eric. "Hey," a voice said from behind J, she looked over her shoulder at the person who had spoken.

"I remember seeing you at school, but you never said much of anything. I'm Christina" she said.

"J" she replied.

"Why don't you talk much?" Christina asked J shrugged. "It's not because you're shy because I saw you go right up to Eric and tell him to move. So what is it?" she pressed.

"If I have something to say, you'll hear it" J responded. She turned to face Christina and smiled.

Eric and Four stopped and turned, "Alright initiates," Four said, "Most of the time I'm working in the control room but for your initiation, I'll be your instructor along with Eric" Eric nodded "I'm Four."

"Four? Like the number?" Christina asked.

"Yes, you got a problem with that?"

"No"

Four continued with what he had been saying, "we're headed towards the Pitt, which-"

Christina snickered, J shot her a look in attempt to get her to shut up, but it was too late.

Four walked up to her and asked, "What's your name?"

"Christina" she responded softly.

"Well then, Christina, do you think I joined Dauntless to listen to Candor smart-mouths?"

She shook her head.

"The first lesson you need to learn is how to hold your tongue. Maybe you could learn from your friend here" he nodded at the silent J. Christina nodded.

He continued walking down the tunnel and the initiates followed. "Jerk" Christina muttered only loud enough so J could hear. She chuckled and whispered back, "it is a good idea, though" Christina scoured at her.

They walked out of the dark tunnel into a massive open space, the Pitt.

"Oh, so that's why it's called the Pitt" Christina said softly.
