-Corey's POV-

We watched Six's retreating back disappear in to the black, our mouths agape. Elimination? I knew that Dauntless intiation would be be tough and not everyone would get in but still. We have seventeen intiatiates now all together. With the stage one elimantions and the final three that bring us to the top ten, seven of us are factionless. I shuddered. I looked around the room at my fellow transfers. I'll do my level best to befriends them, but I still have to be wary of them. I focused on the Erudites, Alex and Sophie, they had been quite since they got here. I didn't trust them. To be honest, I doubt anyone trusts them. The Erudite have been attacking the Abnegation lately in their papers, but no one really believes them. I continued to look around, mt eyes lingering on the two girls I came here with; Piper-Leigh and Johanna. I knew they we're both a threat to me because they're both strong, even though they don't look it and both of them could easily beat me in a race. I sighed. Tomorow training begins and then I can see what I'm really up against. Hopefully, I can come out on top.

-Piper-Leigh's POV-

I uneasily made my way through the gloomy hall. It was difficult, because I had Johanna clinging on to my hand for dear life and the other hand was stretched out in front of me so I could feel my way through. Eventually, we made it, we got there five minutes early and Six was still setting up. She looked suprised to see us.

"Oh, you're early" she said.

"Yeah," Johanna said "Piper-Leigh made us leave early so we had time to get her if we got lost, even though I told her we'd be fine" She said raising her eyebrow at me.

"Yes, but I was right, we did get lost, but we made it here in plenty of time" I said, smiling smugly. Six just laughed at the both of us.

"While you're here, you can help me set up"

We helped string targets on the back walls until there was a target for us all. By the time we were done, everyone had arrived and were anxious to find out what we were doing.

"Alright, today we are doing target practice. You have three knives each and you keep throwing them until you hit the centre of the target. Then, we break for lunch, then we resume target practice. Understand?" We all nodded and disperesed. I felt confident about this, if there was one thing I knew I was good at, it was throwing things.

-Camden's POV-

Thud

. I smirked as the knife stuck to the centre of the target. It may have taken three attempts, but I was the first one to hit the target and not hit the floor. I waited till Four gave the nod and gathered up my knives and started the process again, this time all three of my knives stuck to the target. I walked down to the cafeteria for lunch with Althea and Rebel, I was hoping for some cake to celebrate being the first to hit the target. The cafeteria was really full today, so once we had some food, we went and sat with some transfers.

"Hi," I said "You mind if we sit with you? There are a ton of people here today" They all noddecd and made room for us. We ate in an awkward silence for awhile until Rebel rolled her eyes.

"Oh for Gods sake, what are your names?" She asked. Silence irritated Rebel, probably because she had the biggest mouth on the Dauntless compound. The transfered looked shocked. A Candor girl with short hair was the first to recover.

"Joey" She said.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Joey is a boys name" I said she, in turn raised an eyebrow.

"Not when its short for Johanna"

"Nice to meet you Joey, I'm Rebel and this is Althea and Camden" she replied, gesturing to us. Looking annoyed at me.

"Hi," she said "This is Piper-Leigh, Elodie, Jem and Ruben" They all waved to us, still being shy.

"You guys got any tattos yet?" I asked, deciding ti be more friendly, the other Candor girl spoke first.

"No, but Joey and I want one." I nodded.

"What about you, Amity?" I asked, not referencing any of them in particular. They nodded to.

"I want the Dauntless seal on my ankle" Jem said.

"We want tattos too, we used to bunk of school with our friends Everett and Conrad just to hang around the tatto parlour" Althea said. Then, I had an idea.

"I know, how about, after training today, we meet up by the chasm rail and we go and get tattos together?" I sugested, everyone agreed. We went back to eating and chatting happily, until Valentina came up to us. I hated Valentina, she was Dauntless born like me, but she was the ultimate bitch.

"So what do we have here?" She asked in that falsetto voice of hers. "Althea Morris, Rebel Joan and Camden White, three Dauntless borns from high up families, hanging around with transfers. Well, I never" I gripped my fork tightly. Yes, all four of us came from the families of Dauntless council members, but we're not snobby like her.

"So what if they're transfers, Valentina? Theese are the first five jumpers and thats ballsy, considering that they haven't been preparing for this their entire lives." I said angrily she made my blood boil over the silliest things.

"But still, Amitys? They dont belong here, why don't you go home to your treehouse, you bread loving pacifists?" She mocked. I barely had time to blink before Elodie was out of her chair and had Valentina pinned to the wall.

"What did you say about me and my friends, huh? That we don't belong here? You think you're better than us, stronger than us? Huh? answer me?" She shouted, slapping Valentina across the face. Valentina, although looking a little afraid, her arrogence won out and she said;

"I'm not just stronger, I'm supperior." I thought Elodie had lost her shit before. She threw Valentina on to the ground and pinned her there.

"Really? Because you're the one pinned to the floor, babe, not me." And with that, she rolled off of Valentina and went back to eating, as if it had never happened. Valentina, who had just realised that the whole cafeteria had come to a standstill to watch them, turned bright red, stood up and marched out, not before snarling.

"This. Is. Not. OVER!" Looking directly into Elodie's eyes and giving the rest of us dirty looks. There was a heavy silence. Then, Rebel started hitting her fists on the table, chanting;

"ELODIE! ELODIE!" Slowly, Althea joined in, then I did, then Johanna, Rueben, Piper-Leigh and Jem and than the whole of Dauntless was stomping on the floor and screaming her name. We lifted her above our shoulders and carried her out, grinning.

"How did that feel?" Althea asked her once we set her down.

"Phenomenal" She said breathlessly. "I can face anything now!" We all laughed in agreement.

"You best believe it, First Jumper!" I smiled. I glanced at my watch, we had to be back at the training room in five minutes!

"We better go back now, we'll see you at the chasm rail ten past six, okay?" I said. They nodded. We ran off in our separate directions. and as we retreated into the corridors I couldn't help thinking, this was the begining to a beautiful friendship.
