Chapter 5: Dorms-Pit-Chasm-Hamburgers?
A woman leads the Dauntless-born away. We're left with ten sixteen-year-olds, give-or-take, and Ten and Sin.
Ten starts speaking. "I'm Ten, this is Sin." Sin nods. "We're your instructors." He continues. "We are now entering the Pit. The Candor named Evan snickers.
"Something funny, Candor?" Sin asks voice deadly. Ten motions to Sin while Evan answers.
"Such a clever name. I knew you were Dauntless, but I didn't know you were stupid." His voice is high, cold, and annoying. He flicks his head to the side, locks of brown hair falling to the side of his face.
Ten pulls a knife out of the sheath at his waist and flips it. Evan glances at it, and shuts up, pale lips pursing in annoyance and fear.
"Careful Candor, insulting us might get you a knife in the eye. You've no doubt heard the stories of Edward," Sin remarks, smiling sort of creepily.
Evan shudders. I do as well, but internally. Everyone has heard the stories of Edward waking up with a butter knife in his eye. Even the Abnegation know about the incident, as the tale was told many times at the Dauntless lunch table.
Ten and Sin walk forward, us following, into a lighted cavern, overlooking a space with a bunch of tables. Around it were shops and restaurants. A cafeteria window sits on the farthest end from us. Three or four tunnels branch off of this main place- the Pit. Sin leads the way down one of these to another. Down this tunnel lies a room.
"You will be sleeping here," Ten says.
"All of us?" Eve and I chorus. "Boys and girls?!"
"Yes, problem?" asks Sin, black eyes probing mine, then softening slightly as he looks at Eve, who is still looking around the room.
"No," I say calmly in complete defiance to the fear he is trying to instill in me.
"Drop off your stuff. We have one more thing to show you." We scrambled to claim bunks. Eve took bottom, and I top. In my bunk, I placed the small bag of items we were allowed to bring. I brought a book or five, a hairbrush, and other little things.
"By the way," Ten raises his voice over the chattering of others. "Training begins at nine and goes till seven, with a break for lunch somewhere in the middle. We get to choose when."
"Now come on," Sin says. Eve and I run to catch up to them, Sienna and Andrea trailing behind. We emerge on a steel walkway over a huge! Chasm.
"The Chasm shows us the fine line between bravery and idiocy," Ten starts, voice rising to be heard over the crashing of the waterfall.
"If you jump off this Chasm, even for a stunt, you die," Sin says.
"It has happened before."
"It will happen again."
"You have been warned," they say in bone-chilling monotone.
"On that note, it's time for dinner!" Sin laughs.
We follow him to the Cafeteria. On the tables there are round patties and buns.
"What?" I ask.
"Are?" Eve asks.
"Those?" we say together.
"They're hamburgers," Sienna says as she sits by us.
"What?" Eve tries again.
"Beef." Andrea says. She passes the plate to me, and I put together a messy imitation of what Sienna is doing. I bite into it. It is AMAZING! I polish off the hamburger in three minutes flat, and am on to my second.. I see Eve enjoys it, as well, finishing off two.
When we are done, we have free time. Eve and I have no idea what to do.
"You… wanna get a tattoo?" I ask.
"Noooo…" she deadpans.
"Oh. Right. Needles. Never mind." I say, sighing. She rolls her eyes.
