-Johanna's POV-

The two Dauntless members, Four and Tris, lead as through pitch black halls, the ground beneath my feet was uneven and rocky. It was getting harder and harder to walk with each step. I held Piper-Leigh's hand to steady myself-well that, and the fact I am deathly afraid of the dark, I could only just see the see the silloheute of Elodie and her Amity chum, Jem's head and their bright clothing only glowed dimly in the gloom. So I fixed my sight on Althea's hair, the bright shade of red was the only thin attracting light and the only thing not making me have a panic attack in the dark. I hope not all of Dauntless is this dark. Suddnely, Four and Tris stopped in their tracks, I had to stop so quickly my face collided with the back of Jem's.

"Ow!" He moaned, rubbing where I hit.

"Sorry." I whispered.

"This is where we part" Four started, his loud voice vibrating of the walls.

"Dauntless-borns, seeing as you don't need a tour of the compound, you will come with me and I shall be overseeing your training over the following weeks." He turned on his heel and lead the Dauntless -borns off into the dark. Tris cleared her throat.

"Okay, so for thoose of you who I didn't introduce myself to outside, I am Tris and I'll be your instructor for your intiation period. I am about to take you into the Pit. The central place of Dauntless headquarters" With that, she pushed open a pair of double doors and revealed the Pit.

-Piper-Leigh's POV-

I gasped as Tris swung open the doors. It was as if she had opened the gates to a parallel universe. From the dark stillness of the corridors to the loud, energetic comunity that was Dauntless life. As we walked through, I kept feeling self-concious. Black was the faction colour here in Dauntless, and here we all are in a spectrum of different colours from our old factions. I didnt feel too out of place though, seeing as I wore a lot of black anyway.

"This is the Pit" Tris said, making a wide gesture around the vast cavern.

"The Pit leads everywhere, this is where you'll walk through to get to the cafeteria and to the right of me is where the shops where you can use monthly points to buy clothes, hair-dye and get peircings and tattos. Now if you'll follow me" She trailed off, starting walk off again. Johanna clutched her clothes protectively.

"Pipesie, you don't reckon they'll makes throw out everything we came here in, do you?" She asked nervoulsy. She had purposefully worn her favourite outfit today because she knew she would never have a chance to wear it again, but she wanted to keep the waistcoat, jeans and boots from it because they were all black.

"Yeah, I'm sure they won't even notice, so long as its black, right?" I said.

"Yeah, you're right" she smiled, it was easy to convince Johanna. We stopped walking again, this time infront of a large silver railing, the only non-black thing I had seen in Dauntless so

far. It was what was behind the rail that intrigued me though. It was a huge gushing waterfull. I gaped at it. It was beautiful.

"The Chasm" Tris shouted over the roaring water. "This is here to show that there is a thin line separating bravery and idiocy. One jump over the railing means certain death, this happens every year. Someone always crack under the pressure an-and they launch themselves over the edge. I'm sure this year will be no different" With that she marched off. It was if visting the chasm upset her. I wondered why, maybe someone she knew during her intiation jumped. Someone close to her, like a boyfriend. Or maybe, she nearly went over herself. I'd probbly never know. This time, she took us to the cafeteria, which I was relived about and I could see on Johanna's face she was to. It's not like we never had enought to eat growing up; we were both quite well off, it was just that Johanna and I were just always starving.

-Elodie's POV-

Dinner was good. Hamburgers were my favourite food, I thought it waas nice that the Dauntless ate together in the same room it made me feel like we were all one big family. I sat with Jem, Ruben, Piper-Leigh and Johnna. We spoke about our old factions and families at first, but it didn't take long to get on the subject of intitation.

"So, what do you think they'll make us do?" Jem asked quietly. Everyone shifted uncomfortably in their seats.

"I don't know" Piper-Leigh whispered.

"It must must be tough, though, if someone kills them self because of the pressure" Johanna added. We all went silent for a minute while we ate our food. it was funny because it wasn't an awkward silence at all, it was totally comfortable. It amazed me how comfortable I was in the company of people I hadn't even known a full day yet. The silence was shattered by the arrival of Johanna's sister and her friends.

"Hey, Joey" she said, setling down in the empty spaces we had left on the table. I was glad that I recognised Four and Tris, but the other four people I didn't know. "Theese are my friends; Uriah, Lynn and Marlene" She said, pointing to three dark-skinned Dauntless.

"Who's this?" She asked pointing at the green-eyed man sat next to Dauntless

"Johanna, don't speak with you mouth full" Christina scolded. Johanna raised an eyebrow, took a huge bite of her burger and said;

"What now 'stina" She smirked as we all tried not to laugh.

"Anyway," Christina carried on in a cliped tone "This is Will, my boyfriend"

Johanna looked suprised.

"You tricked a guy into being your boyfriend?" she said. All the Dauntless members at our table burst into uncontrollable laughter. Even Christina.

"Ha ha," She smiled "You guys need to finish up, so we can take you to the dorm"

We all ate quickly, making small conversation with our table mates. Not long after, Tris rounded us all up and lead us back into the dreary hall.

-Tris's POV-

I lead the intiates through the halls, I could hear some of them chattering, I was glad that they had already formed friendships amongst eachother. I had spoken with most of them, transfers and Dauntless borns equally, at dinner and I already had favourites; the group of transfers that Johanna had brefriended and Althea, Everett, Camden and Rebel the Dauntless borns, mainly because prior to their intiation, if they weren't at school, they were bunking off and hanging around Tori, Bud and I at the tattoo shop, begging us to give them tattoos even though they were underage. I stopped outside the iron door that closed off the transfer dorm.

"Okay, intiatiates, this is where you'll be slepping during your intiation. Now, before I go there are some rules. One, be in the training room by eight A.M-or else, two, no attacking other intiates unless its during fight practice, and lastly, during intiation you are to refer to me as Six and nothing else, understand?" They all nodded

"Also, during this satge of intiation, you will be evaluated separated from Dauntless-born, at the end this stage, you will be ranked and four of you will be intiates will be eliminated. Questions?" I help my breath of the shitstorm of angry comments that were sure to follow.

"Elimnated!?" Exclaimed Corey, another Candor "But, thats not fair!" Some of the others nodded in agreement. I sighed.

"The elimnated doesn't necaressarily mean four of you, it could be all them, or two of them and two of you" I reassured them.

"But, don't relax, from here on out you have to train hard and prove that you are good enough to be Dauntless, because at the end of the second stage, you will be ranked again, mixed with the Dauntless born, and only the top ten percent become members." I stared at the horrified experessions, from now on it was every man for themself. I tried to smile.

"Welcome to Dauntless" I said and I hurried back the way I came.
