Chapter 2: Arriving in Erudite

A/N: Thanks for all the kind reviews! They were really sweet and meant a lot. I will continue this story because you all seemed to like the idea. If you haven't read my other story Living Dauntless, that would be great. It's a no war Dauntless story with almost 30 chapters! ;D

RainyDay12: Thanks for the kind review, also congratulations! You were the first reviewer! If you have any specific questions about the story, I would love to answer them. PM or review them!

DauntlessFangirl4and6: Like I said in the bottom A/N, my answers will be vague, but may or may not be eventual FourTris. I really was glad you asked you asked this question, but I don't want to give the answer away just yet. Ask again in a few chapters! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Emily (Guest): Hi Emily! I know I could probably tell you this in person and I already explained the WHOLE plot to you, but trust me on this, you will be pleased with this story. Since when have I ever let you down, after all I am part Candor! ;D

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Divergent and never will... ;(


I look back at my family and they look just as shocked as the others. I walk back towards Caleb with a big smile etched across both our faces. I give him a side hug and return to watch Marcus finish the ceremony.


We run out of the Hub directly behind the Dauntless. To be honest, I was considering leaving my family all together and joining Dauntless but I heard from school that they're initiation is torture and strictly the best of the best only get in. Let's face it, I wouldn't be one of those.

Besides, I know for sure I can do fairly well in Erudite, I have been told do many times that I would be great in Erudite.

When we get to the train, we all watch as the Dauntless jump onto the train and race off towards the Dauntless Compound. Once they're out of sight, a new train stops in front of us and we all walk onto it.


Once we get to the Erudite compound, I see a bunch of tall glass building, skyscrapers really, with people walking around in all shades of blue. I smile and look up at Caleb. He smiles back at me and then the train stops.

I walk out and look around. It looks amazing! I can't wait to get started. I've never heard of how Erudite inititation goes so I'm curious as to how this is going to be. Two people walk up in Erudite blue with big smiles on their faces.

"Hello! My name is Samantha, but you can call me Sam and this is Charles. We will be your test administrators. If you will follow us, we can show you to your apartments and that's where the transfers can change. There will be a change of clothes in your room for you. Follow us!" I smile and follow them into a HUGE glass building where there has to be at least 20 floors filled with apartments.

"This is where you will be staying. This building is also known as apartment central. Everyone in Erudite has an apartment in this building. There is a total of 30 floors to this building with an average of 50 apartments on each floor. The initiation apartments are on the first floor for easy access. Once you complete initiation, you will get your own, much nicer, apartment. Depending on the job you are assigned is where you will be placed in this building. Government on top floors, basic jobs fill the rest. Follow me and I will show you all your initiation apartments."

I follow them down a few halls with them occasionally pointing out important rooms that we may need during initiation. When we finally arrive to a tall glass door, at least 10 feet tall, Sam turns around to face us while Charles is looking down at his clipboard.

"This is the hallway where you will all be staying. When we get in, if you could all just line up single file and we will assign you each a room. We will explain rules once you all get situated. Also, you won't need to buy anything except food because it's not required to eat in our cafeteria like other factions," With that she turns around, opens the doors to the hallway of where our new homes are going to be for the next month and we follow suit.

There are a total of twenty doors on each side of the hall. I turn to face my brother and notice he is staring Samantha, our administrator. I smirk and look back towards Charles and Samantha, waiting for my assigned apartment. I hear a variety of names being called but don't register them in my head until I hear, "Caleb Prior, room 47."

Caleb walks up with a smile on his face. Charles hands him the keys and Caleb unlocks his door and walks in.

"Beatrice Prior, room 46" (I'm sorry! I just had to!) I smile and walk up, take the keys from Charles just as Caleb did before and unlock my door and walk in.

Inside is a fairly sized apartment. Only one bedroom, but that shouldn't be too big of a problem for me considering I currently have no friends unless you count Caleb, but I prefer to count him as my brother.

There is a small kitchen, equipped with anything you should need. There is a small bedroom with a dresser, queen-sized bed, night stand, walk-in closet, and en-suite.

All the walls are painted blue and inside the closet are a variety of sets of clothes to wear. I pull out a blue knee-length dress with a blue leather jacket and blue flats with small bows at the ends.

Once I'm done with that, I notice a huge mirror behind the sink mounted on the wall. I look inside the drawers and see basic makeup and put on what I know and how to use it, so basically lip gloss and mascara but thats good enough. (I don't know if Erudite wear makeup or not so if they don't in your mind, you'll just have to go with it.)

I walk out of the bathroom, place the hangers the clothes were hanging on back in the closet and leave after locking up the apartment. I slip the keys inside my jacket pocket and walk across the hall to Caleb's room.

I knock quietly on the door and hear a muffled, 'Come in,' so I open the door and walk in, gently closing the door behind me. I walk further into his apartment and see him looking through the closet. I sit down on his neatly made bed and watch as he struggles to make a decision on what to wear.

As soon as he turns around to face me, I decide to take this as my chance to ask, "So, what's up with you and Samantha? I noticed you staring at her every waking moment," I say with a smirk.

He blushes and look down through all the nice dressy shoes to wear. He looks back up and I raise an eyebrow as if to ask a silent question.

He sighs and says, "Nothing, and besides, I wasn't staring at her, I was just watching her." I smile after he says that. He blushes a deeper shade of red, if that wasn't even possible, after realizing what he said. I laugh, stand up, and walk up towards him.

"Caleb's got a crush, Caleb's got a crush, Caleb's got a crush," I sing in a mocking tone and he looks down, taking a sudden interest in his shoes. I smile and walk out.

"I'm heading to the store, want to tag along after you change into something more suitable?"

He finally looks back up and smiles, "Yeah, thanks Bea!" He calls back. "No problem!" I yell and shut the door behind me. I walk into my apartment and look around in a more detailed fashion, taking in every little detail of my room while I'm waiting for Caleb.

I hear a knock on the door and get up to answer it and open the door, where Caleb stands, now in Erudite blue, wearing a blue polo and blue dress pants with blue shiny dress shoes. I smile, grab my keys from the table beside the door and close the door behind me.

Let the fun begin, initiation! Note the sarcasm...


A/N: Thanks for reading chapter 2! I have a great plan, at least I think it is. If you have any questions on the story, feel free to ask. BUT, I'm not giving too much information out so the answers will be kinda vague. Mainly because I want the ending to be a surprise, a good surprise I promise. Feel free to leave any suggestions and I will try my best to fit it in.
