Four's POV

A distinct flair of red and orange dropped from the sky, bursting into the net with such force that the orb bounced multiple times. I took long, paced strides to get her out of the net quickly. A familiar giggle sounded in my ears and rang. Tris was in the embrace of Al and laughing heavily. We had tried to be a thing, then she cheated on me with Albert. Shaking my head, I pulled the light Amity from the net. Her hazel green orbs lighted my soul with a never-ending flame the color of her glossy hair. I had promised myself I wouldn't be hypnotized by another initiate.

"What's your name, initiate?"

"Mel-Alex," the Amity decides.

"FIRST JUMPER ALEX," I call, "Welcome to Dauntless," I push her easily over to the others and help the other eight transfers out.

So far my initiates are:

1. Melody "Alex" Ivey - Amity

2. Clint Reed - Erudite

3. Ginger "Rudie" Evans - Candor

4. Brent West - Erudite

5. Dexter Wells - Candor

6. Edward "Ed" Barnes - Abnegation

7. Denise Marsh - Erudite

8. Jennifer "Jen" Trainer - Candor

9. Hugo "Dante" Black - Erudite

Great, enough Erudite to make me kill. The last thing I want is a bunch of know it alls and smart mouths. Lauren quietly dismissed with the Dauntless Born and I quietly walked over to the new meat.

"Welcome to Dauntless. I am Four, yes, like the number. No questions about my name. Since the Dauntless born know their way around, they have went with their trainer, Lauren, to begin their training. In Dauntless, the most valuable thing is bravery. We don't step down to challenges and go above and beyond. You are no longer children, but full fledged members of the system. Speaking of which, your job is to patrol and protect the city. You are the military, you defend every human in this wall. You will all be assigned special jobs at the end. The higher you rank, the better job you may choose. Dauntless is not a faction for cowardice, slacking off, or half done work. Follow me," I led them to the chasm, the speech being all too familiar.

"This is the chasm and the Pit, it is the body of life and death in the Compound. The chasm is a forever flowing stream of death. Some of you will choose this way out of Dauntless initiation, at least one, you have been warned. On the contrary, the Pit is here. You will have some points to spend to shop, get tattoos, and eat on. This is the life force of Dauntless and where most of you will hang out with your eventual friends."

I silently led them to the dorms and got them settled in and changed before their first meal at Dauntless HQ. I stayed and made sure none of the guys pulled any funny business with the females. I noticed Clint checking out Alex as she shyly changed into the sweat suit, showing ample breasts and a red underwear set. The Abnegation in me told me to enforce the strict morals I had been raised into.

"Clint, you will be going to the front with me since you cannot seem to keep your actions or your eyes to yourself."

"But everyone is looking at her, you had to be to notice,"

"No buts, women aren't objects for you gawk and drool at."

Observing Alex, I noticed a wide variety of things. She wasn't like the other girls. As we walked to the cafeteria from the dorms, the other girls were talking about lust and their planned boys. She was silent and kept her eyes forward, intensity flaring like flames to gasoline. This woman wasn't like the other girls, because she wasn't a girl. She was much more mature and dedicated, at least to my sight.

I closed my eyes and headed to my table as Max gave his speech. Zeke and I began talking about the initiates and our plans for training. The smell of sunshine invaded my nostrils and I noticed Alex walking over with the rest of the initiates. She kept her head down and ate little. The others punched on each other and began getting a bit annoying.

"Who's the perky redhead," Zeke questioned, quirking a brow.

"Alex, Amity transfer," I said, trying not to show my interest.

"Looks like she has a boyfriend already, Four," he sparked my imagination as I looked over to see Clint wrapping an arm around her and mumbling something, causing her to blush and laugh.

"Whatever, I'm just ready for training to be over with,"

Alex's POV

"I know your secret, you stupid little bitch. Laugh, act cute, and be my girlfriend or the entire population of Dauntless will know about your brother and why you left the hippies." Clint's voice was dark and raw.

I blushed from rage and faked some girly giggles, sparking the attention of our mysterious instructor. Clint's hand forcefully locked on my knee as I picked at the food. I had lost my appetite after hearing what Clint had to say. It was hard enough transferring, I didn't want the demons I left to effect my new start. Obviously, I had a new demon, who's hand was cutting off circulation.

"Listen up," Four echoed down the table, "tomorrow we start fighting, get some sleep and prepare for the day ahead of you."

I threw away the remnants of my dinner and headed to our dorm. I wasn't ready for tomorrow, what had I agreed to? I felt nasty, disgusting, and straight up weak. Was I already being a coward? On my first day?
