A/N - Yay! It's the choosing ceremony! This chapter will switch POV, so be careful to know who's POV it is. I'm super excited for this chapter! Read and Review! Whoever asked to be an initiate is one, and please don't ask me anymore. Thanks! Read on ;) just so you know, this chapter is chapter six, but i accidentally named it five, so don't worry about that.

Tris POV

The choosing ceremony is today! Tobias, Uriah, Zeke, and I already have are seats assigned, so we don't need to get there until it actually starts. It starts at 9am, and it's already 8:30am, so I get dressed and put my makeup on. I wear black skinny jeans and a tight black tank-top. Apparently, people dress nice for the choosing ceremony, and this is as close to nice as i'm gonna get. I put on my dark eye shadow, and lipstick then head to Tobias room.

"Hey, Four." I knock on the door. I walk in, but he's asleep. I wake him up to a soft kiss on the lips. He slowly awakens immediately smiling.

"Hey babe." He replies.

"You got to get ready for the choosing ceremony now," I say between kisses.

"Fine, see you soon." He says. He wears a black v neck t shirt, and jeans. That's as nice as Tobias will dress. We walk hand in hand to Zeke's apartment, get him, then get Uriah. Once we drag him on the bed we go wait for the train to come, then jump on and start riding to the ceremony. I'm beyond excited.

Samantha POV

This morning was chaotic. For me, anyway. My parents seemed completely fine, but that's because the aren't choosing there lives today. Who knows if i'm going to leave or stay. The test didn't help me like I wanted it to, so i'm clueless.

"Samantha, don't be nervous. Faction before blood. I'll love you no matter what you choose." Mother kindly states. It just makes me feel worse.

"Thanks mother. I love you too." I reply.

"We should probably get going, Natalie." Father shouts from the other room. Abnegation has to get there a little early so we can hold the doors open. I already put on my floor-length abnegation grey dress, and grey sweater. None of my skin except my hands and face are showing. My hair is up in a tight bun.

"Lets." Mother said. We walk all the way to the choosing ceremony, which is in the Erudite compound. When we get there My parents wait and hold the doors open, and the sixteen year old go and save the seats for their families. I save a seat for myself, my mother, and my father. We are sitting near the back, my father on the aisle, my mother next to him, and me next to her. I see a dauntless women walk in and mother and her exchange glances. They hug, but immediately stop, knowing differing factions aren't supposed to talk to each other. Everyone finally gets there and my parents meet me in the seats.

"Who was that women?" I ask my mother.

"No one. Just an old friend of mine." She says. I have a confused look on my face, but mother doesn't bother to explain. This year Amity is leading the choosing ceremony, so a dark skinned women in a red dress and yellow scarf, walks up to the stage.

Tobias POV

"Who's leading choosing ceremony this year?" I ask Tris, next to me.

"Amity, it looks like." She points to the stage and I see Johanna Reyes trying to get the microphone to work.

"Hello, hello. Fellow factions, it is the time of the choosing ceremony!" Amity and Abnegation don't cheer, Candor and Erudite, quietly applaud, although Dauntless whoop and holler very loudly. Tris and I had to sit up front because we start training initiates today, although Zeke and Uriah sit farther back.

"Quiet down, quiet down." Johanna tries to say over the loud noises of the dauntless, "I will start calling up the 16 year old of each faction in this order: Dauntless, Erudite, Candor, Amity, and Abnegation." She says. I grip Tris' hand because hers is warmer than mine, She starts reading off names but i'm pretty sure Tris is the only Dauntless actually paying attention. In Dauntless, we had 20 sixteen year old. Out of those, 16 stayed, and only four transferred, lucky for us, not to many left. In Erudite, four people transferred to dauntless, I only remember one name. A tall boy, named Nathan Guenther. The other three were girls. In Candor we had 2 transfers to Dauntless. Their names were Carter Benton and Libby Allysse. Never met anyone named Libby, but Tris seemed to like her. Amity was next. We rarely get amity transfers but we got three this year. two girls, one boy. I started listening again at Abnegation. We have had nine transfers so far, and I don't expect any Abnegation transfers. I start to tune out, but I hear a familiar name.

Samantha POV

It's abnegation's turn now. I'm trying to decide whether to stay in abnegation of transfer to Dauntless or Candor.

"Samantha Prior." I sweat. It's my turn. I hear murmurs in dauntless and look over there. The women my mother hugged is blushing. I dismiss that though. I walk up to the stage petrified. The Amity leader hands me a sharp knife. I cut through my skin and wince at the sharp pain that sends through my body. My eyes scant he crown of faction. I walk over to the Abnegation bowl, which is right next to the Dauntless bowl. I turn my hand over the Abnegation bowl, but before it drips I spontaneously move my hand to the bowl next to it and my blood sizzles in the flaming coals. I hear loud whoops in the dauntless and I walk to them without looking back at my former faction. A man no older than 17 hands me a band-aid. I notice, when he sits down, that he grabs the women who was hugging my mother's hand. I take the last seat left, right next to her.

"I'm Samantha Prior." I introduce myself. She ignores me with red, red cheeks. She turns to the bot next to her, kisses, him then whispers something in his ear. He looks at me then whispers something in her ear. I guess Dauntless do that stuff. Before I know it, the ceremony is over. Dauntless get up and start running. I follow, although I don't know what i'm doing.

"What are we doing?" I ask the Amity transfer next to me.

"Running, you stiff." She retorts. That's a nickname for Abnegation, but nobody uses it because it's hurtful. I guess dauntless doesn't care about feelings, starts speeding up, so I look back. I immediately wish I hadn't. I see my parents. To my surprise, my mother is smiling. But my fathers face is different. If looks could kill, i'd be dead. I immediately turn back around and keep running. The Candor girl next to me looks nicer than that other girl I talked to earlier. I start to try to say something but she says something else first.

"They're jumping." I hear her scaredley say.

"What?!" I exclaim.

"If we don't jump we don't make it in."She says. She than grabs my arm and we both jump in we hit the ground with a thud, but at least we made it.

"Thanks. i'm Samantha." I say.

"I'm Libby." We chat for a while until someone else walks over. Erudite.

"Hi what's your name?" I ask.

"Your in dauntless now, stiff. Act like it." He says. Rude. All dauntless is is rude, rude, rude, "By the way, i'm Nathan" He says. He seemed mean one second, then inviting the next. Odd.

"Well, i'm Samantha. If you care."

"I might." What is that supposed to mean? This kid is all kinds of weird.

"They're jumping again." Libby says.

"Onto a building." A different Erudite girl, says. The dauntless-borns start jumping onto the building. I grab Libby's hand and we scharge off the c=train.. I land on my knees into the gravel I see the women I was sitting next to and what seems to be her boyfriend, jump off with ease. I need to know who that girl is, and why she's hugging my mother.

Tris POV

Luckily all the initiates made it this far, let's see if they can jump the net.

Four jumps off before anyone can notice so that he can meet the initiates at the bottom.

"Initiates, listen up!" This is where we jump!" Gasps go around. "So, who's going first? Transfers get first dibs." I shout. No one raises there hands until I see the girl who claims to be a Prior raise her hand.

"What are you waiting for?" I ask. She walks to the ledge and looks down. She takes her jacket off and there's immediate retaliation.

"Ooh, the stiff showing some skin?" An Amity transfer laughs. She throws her jacket at the girl. I blush because that's what Peter said to me before I jumped. I see her bend her knees and then she's gone. Once I get the signal from them down there, I ask the next person to go. The order of people is The Abnegation transfer(the one who claims to be a Prior), a Candor transfer, an Erudite transfer, and Amity transfer, an Erudite transfer, a candor transfer, two Amity's, and finally two more erudite's. I jumped down after the dauntless borns and I love the feeling. I bent my knees and jumped. It felt as if i was flying. The wind in my hair, and feeling in my stomach, and then it's over all to soon.

"Welcome to Dauntless," Four says with a smirk.

"Glad to be here," I smile and kiss his cheek. Boy, am I lucky to have him. Four and I walk over to the group of initiates.

"I'm Tris, and this is Four." I introduce ourselves.

"Four, like the number?" I a Candor asks.

Four gets out his instructor voice, "Yes, do you have a problem with that?"

"Nope." She says.

"What's your name?" He asks, looking at her eye-to-eye.

"Libby." She replies.

"Well, Libby, if I wanted to be around Candor smart mouths I would've joined their faction. Do you understand me?" I smirk, remembering when he said that to Christina, "We are approaching the pit." Four says, before interrupted by a different Candor, "And I thought the rest of you would learn from Libby's mistake but it appears not. What might your name be?"

"Uh, Carter." He says as if it was obvious.

"Well, Carter, if I were you i would shut my mouth." Four says and keeps walking. Carter looks intimidated, so Four did what he wanted to do. We walk in and it seems as if everyone realizes why it's called the pit. I start talking now.

"This is the chasm," I point to the roaring waters next to me, "It shows the fine line between idiocy and bravery. Every year someone jump into this chasm, and i'm almost certain someone will this year." Everyone gasps. We walk to the initiate dorms.

"These are where you will sleep. Pick a bed and get changed." Four said.

"Where's the girl dorms?" An Erudite girl asks.

"Everyone sleeps here. Now get into something Dauntless." Four says. And he heads to the dining hall while I wait for them to get dressed.

Samantha's POV

I just started initiation and i'm not sure how I feel. The girl my mom apparently knows is one of our instructors. I feel as if I belong here, so I act tougher than I am. I put on some skinny black jeans and a tight black tank-top. Some cat-calls go through the place but I try to ignore them. Once i'm dressed I walk over to my new friend, Libby. She's lacing up some black stilletto's. I put on black combat boots. I say hi to her then walk over to the girl who knows my mom.

"What's your name?" I ask her trying to act very tough.

"Tris. and why do you care?" She says while biting her nails

"I was wondering how you knew my mother? I saw you go and hug her at the choosing ceremony." I tell her.

"Your mother, what's her name?" She asks me.

"Natalie Prior." After I say that she starts to ignore me.

"Initiates follow me to the dining hall! After you eat your free for the rest of the night, but I suggest you go to bed at a decent time because we have a lot of work to do tomorrow." Tris tells us.

"You really expect us to go to bed early on our first night in Dauntless?" The Erudite transfer I remember as Nathan says.

"Do what you want, but I went through initiation last year, and you think i'd know the ropes." She then stats walking and we follow once we make it in the dining hall She keeps walking so apparently we just sit wherever. I notice Tris and Four are sitting side by side, so I turn to my three new friends to ask them if they wanna sit over there, "Hey guys, wanna sit by Four and Tris?"

"I don't care." Nathan says.

"Sure, let's do it!" Libby enthusiastically says.

"I could care less." Carter says.

"Then let's go." I say with the same tone of voice. Carter and Nathan sit across from each other and so do Libby and I.

"So, how old are you?" I ask Four and he looks at me with intimidating eyes.

"What makes you think you can talk to me?" Tris chuckles while playing with her food.

"Uh sorry, maybe it's because you're so approachable." I murmur. Tris immediatley stops laughing and turns to me.

"What's your deal, Samantha? Why are you here?" Tris looks me in the eyes and i get scared.

"Well, I didn't fit in with Abnegation and I didn't want to live a life like that." I honestly reply.

"Ugh! Do you know who I am?" She sounds frustrated.

"No, I don't think so." I reply trying to calm her down.

Four grabs her arm and they look at each other, "Hey calm down. Come with me." They both get up and leave hand-in-hand.

"Geez, what was that all about?" I ask red-faced and Carter and Nathan start cracking up.

Tris POV

"Oh my gosh. Who does this girl think she is?" I ask Tobias once we get to his apartment, "She says she's a Prior, but that would mean she's my sister. UGH! Why is this happening?"

"Calm down. It's okay. we'll figure it out soon enough. Do you want to do something to get your mind off it?" Tobias asks. Oh, how I love him.

"No, i'm going to go to my apartment. Goodnight." I kiss him on the cheek. I head back to my apartment, excited for the initiation ahead.
