Hey! I've had a lot of writer's block recently, so I haven't been able to upload as frequently as I hoped. And when I've got German revision to be doing, I'm writing fanfiction! So basically I wanted to do some other peoples point of view to make it a bit more detailed and interesting instead of Kathy's small world. As always, review favourite and follow sooo... Here's chapter 3!
Disclaimer: I'm not Veronica Roth so I don't own divergent or it's characters...
Kathy's POV
The uneven path crumbles beneath our presence. Yet the Dauntless children run along the edges. I guess some people have different definitions of safety. But, we're in Dauntless now. So it doesn't really matter. The cheers start to dull as I come to realise this.
"First jumper- Kathy!" An even louder cheer roars through the sickening silence. Someone must of overheard me introducing myself, and they told the leaders my name. A man and woman come towards us, and the other initiates, and begin speaking.
"Hello, we are your instructors for your initiation stage. My name is Tris"
"And my name is Uriah. One of us will be overseeing your training, as you will be separated for most of the initiation. Dauntless born, follow me." This leaves us standing there in our coloured clothes looking really out of place. "So you all probably haven't been in Dauntless before so we will have a tour of the place." She begins. "This way, initiates." We follow her, but it seems we are all intimidated by everything. It's probably just the unknown start of it all. "First up, the pit." A few nervous giggles arouse from the group. "Pit is the best word for it so you don't need to laugh." They stop immediately. Tris is quite intimidating, adding to the intimidation of everything else. I know the pit as soon as we walk into there. I think everyone else does too. It's a cavernous space, with a chasm, and you have to be careful to not fall down. A cry out in pain conforms that. Sophie besides me winces. "The pit is where the Dauntless go with their free time"
I really don't see how. "And this is the chasm." Tris stops walking, and so do we. There is a metal barrier before a drop. " There is a fine line between bravery and idiocy and the Chasm represents that. A jump off the ledge would be the last thing you would ever do. Many people before have done it and I guarantee that it would happen again." Tris sounds like she has said this so many times before. Even as if it bores her! She starts walking again, but this time she leads us to a room. "This is where you transfers will sleep." A few gasps could be heard. Boys sleeping in the same room with girls! Uh oh, this sounds like a bad idea. "Now, everyone needs to be up by eight every morning unless told otherwise! Training will begin at half past exactly every morning, and will finish at half four, with a break for lunch. After that, you will be free to do as you please. Now, I recommend you go to sleep straight away, as you will be very busy tomorrow!" Tris then leaves, and we all go inside. As soon as my head touches the pillow, I fall asleep.
Tobias' POV
I wake up at six o'clock in the morning. I push myself into a sitting position and I see her, getting out of the bathroom, dressed, and drying her hair with a towel. Tris sits on the edge, and I get up and kiss her forehead. "Morning, Beautiful" I say, and she smiles. "Good morning, Tobias" She replies, while resting her head on my shoulder. Just then, our little bundle of energy comes bounding into our room. She jumps up to us, while we pick her up and brings her to our laps. "Good morning Mommy and Daddy!" She squeals, perfectly happy of the new day ahead. "Good morning Elise" I say to her, while she's bouncing up and down with happiness. "Are you hungry?" Tris asks her, combing Elise's hair with her fingers. Playfully, Elise nods her head and runs off. We chuckle, because she is the most energetic thing we have ever seen. Elise is so carefree, and she has no idea what happened before it all changed; when she came into the world. We didn't want her growing up like most Dauntless, but we didn't want it to be too Abnegation either. All I wanted it to be filled with love, something that I never had. Tris says the same, as we both knew how important it would be to know that she was being loved like no other. Natalie and Andrew helped a lot for this baby to grow up in a world that is not separated. After Marcus found out, he went mental. His only son getting married, and he wasn't invited to the wedding. Or course that's his mask. Quite a few Abnegation played the sympathy card, but Tris' parents knew the truth quickly enough. They got him in prison for his abuse to family members. We plan that Elise will live a life without Marcus. Tris and I sit together in each other's arms in silence for a while, and before we know it, Tris has to go and get the initiates up. We kiss, and she says "See you at breakfast" and she has to leave. When Tris has gone, I go to Elise's room, which is painted gray, with colourful flowers over the top. "Ready to go to breakfast sweetie?" She says "Yes Daddy!" with a lot of enthusiasm, and I smile. She abandons all the toys she was playing with, and jumps up to join me. I make a mental note to tidy up at lunch time. We leave the apartment and make our way to the dining area, where a few initiates yawn while stumbling into the room. Tris is sitting with Will and Christina, and their two year old son, Jake. We join them and Tris picks Elise up and sets her on her hip. It's a little difficult to juggle a daughter and initiation training at the same time, but she handles it so well. My Tris. We then start tucking into breakfast, where porridge isn't unusual, even though it is Abnegation food.
Kathy's POV
I've never been up so early in my life. Ugh, Amity are so lazy, they've given their effect on me. I'm not the only one that's noticed. "Kathy, when did you used to get up?" Josh asks. "Uhh... about tenish?" I'm not even sure myself. Sophie was about to say something back, but she spots our initiation instructor, Tris. She has a little girl on her hip, and she sits next to a man who she keeps on speaking to. "Ohmygod! I never knew she was married and had a daughter?! Maybe Tris has a soft side" Sophie says, astounded. "Maybe we just got the wrong impression of her? It might be because of what happened eight years ago" Josh says in reply. "What happened eight years ago was really terrible, and I lived in Amity!" I add, "But, that little girl is really lucky, because she has two loving parents, who look as if that they would do anything for her!" Sophie says, and after that I go into a deep thought- My parents never loved me that much it showed! Whereas Tris really loves her!
After we have finished eating, Tris rounds us up and we go to the training room. "During your initiation stage, you will be doing a range of different tests, that subject around your ability. Stage 1 will include, practical real-life work, and Stage 2 will be based on your mental ability. Stage 3 however, is where you are going to be put to the test for a whole week, and you will be using skills that you have learnt, and different job skills." Tris explains. "Today, I will be teaching you skills that you would use to save a civilian" Tris concludes. This sounds different to the Dauntless I used to know. But then again, in eight years, a lot can change.
Please review as they make my day better! :)
