Soon after Tris falls through the hole and lands on the net, then the erudite boy and all the rest of the dauntless initiates. " I'm four" he says to the small group. "i'll be your instructor for the next week along with Eric... follow me" He says gesturing in the direction he has begun to walk in. We fall into one line and follow four. It was kind of hard to keep up with him because there were blue lights that hung from the ceiling but they only provided enough light to form a small patch of light, so it was pitch black until you were in the next area of light again. Four stopped and I almost ran into him. "This is we're you will be sleeping for the next week" he opens the door walks in and turns on the light. My eyes adjust to the sudden lighting change. But when they do adjust I see a large rooms itch stone walls and the pipes exposed on the ceiling(kinda like coscos) with about 10 bunk beds and a Dresser Inbetween each of them with a black chest at the foot of everybody's bed. "I call top bunk" yells a Christina. Then the room erupts into a frenzy everybody calling out and running to what bed they want. I walked over to the nearest bed to me and started putting away the little possessions i could carry in my pocket. We're suppose to be cutting the ties we have with our old factions but I could not bear to totally leave it behind. The past is just as important as your future. "looks like we're bunk mates" says christina who called top bunk. I jump a little, startled by her sudden interruption of my thoughts. "yeah guess we are" I try to smile a little. "wow first jumper never thought I'd see a abnegation do that" " yeah" "i never fully introduced my self since we were all distracted by jumping off stuff. I'm Christina nice to meet you" she extends her hand. In abnegation we never shocked hands or made any sort of physical contact with people,but I'm dauntless now I have to put all of those habits behind me. I reach out awkwardly and shake her hand and smile. I turn around to continue unloading my pockets when I catch four watching me intently almost as I'f he was analyzing something. I avoid his stare and continue pulling stuff out of My pocket. The last thing I pull out is a abnegation pendent necklace. I rub it between my fingers and then set it down on the black wooden night stand by my bed. I look at the clock on the wall. It's 8:30, everybody else is awake and chattering away. I go to bed, I'm tired from jumping off of trains and through holes in dark alleys. I look around the room again and see that fours gone. That's good because I don't think I cold have fallen asleep with his watchful gaze. I train my eyes on the ceiling and close my eyes. -page break- I wake up to Christina's voice. "Tris!" "Yes" i say my voice heavy from sleep. " we have to meet in the dinning hall for breakfast.. Come on get dressed, there are some clothes that the dauntless left for us in your chest." I swing my self out of bed and walk over to the chest. I kneel on my knees and open it. Inside are three black shirts two black pants and a pair of black sneakers. I look around the room everybody else are changing right in the open. It annoys me how even though i'm not in abnegation anymore i still act like one sometimes. i climb under the covers and change. when i'm done i look at myself in the mirror. I tie my hair into a ponytail. "hey Tris we are walking to breakfast, you coming?" Christina asked. "Yeah one sec" i walk over to the nightstand, grab my necklace, and shove it into my pocket. i jog to catch up to Christina as they walk out the door. Dauntless compound is under ground so there is practically no light from the outside, just the blue lamps that hang from the ceiling. We enter the dinning hall which is packed with dauntless members. We walk over to the back and sit down at an empty table. The erudite boy who i think name is will sits on my left ,Christina to my right, and A amity girl named melody in front of me. A few more initiates come and join us until the table is full. A candor girl named Jessica and a erudite girl named song. " Anybody know what were doing today" says Christina taking an apple from the plate of food in the center of the table. everybody shook there heads. "Today you will be learning how to shoot a gun and how to defend yourself in hand to hand combat." Four says sliding into the chair next to christina." You will not be trained in the same place as the dauntless born initiates... but you will both be ranked on a scale from 1 to 10. 1 being the person with the highest score and 10 with the lowest. and at the end of this week we will take the highest scoring out of both groups and arrange them on the same scale. Anybody who scored below ten will be asked to leave and join the faction-less" We all got quit at that. " Well that sounds fun" christina says sarcastically. "Well it was nice knowing you Will... have a nice time with the faction less" "In your dreams Christina im going to dominate this competition!" Will says. Melody rolls her eyes at will and sticks her tongue out at him. I reach for a piece of bacon on the plater of food in the middle of the table but i guess Christina had the same idea because she snatched the bacon up before i could get it. That fat son of a biscuit. She snickers and shoves the bacon down her throat. I glare at her, mad because that bacon looked good. Four sighs and mumbles something about fat candors. "here"Four says pushing me his plate of food and yes it did have bacon on it. " Thanks" i say keeping my eyes down. I pick up a piece a bacon and nibble on it. i look around the table everybody laughing and talking. This could be my life ...this could be my family... , but i have to pass initiation first.
