Chapter 2:
My name was called, I chose Dauntless. We were brought to the top of a building after trying to kill ourselves by jumping onto a moving train and from that train to the top of a building. I mean, really? So we get there, and they tell us to jump into a pit in the center.
Someone had to go first. So this girl who was from my fraction went first. I a guy went after her. I decided to go next. I jumped feet first, and landed in a net. I was pulled out of the net and looked to see my brother. I smiled. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
I smiled. "I chose." I said. "Well, I chose the name Four, keep your old one or choose a new one." he said. I smiled. "Fine, I'm Quinn." I said. My brother nodded. "Nice to see you again Quinn." he said and gave me a hug. I smiled. "It's nice to be here." I said.
Four nodded and gestured for me to stand with my fellow Dauntless team members. Soon, we were brought to an area where we were to change into new clothes that really completed the change to Dauntless.
I was happy to get rid of the old clothes I had. We burnt them and were brought to a dinner hall. Everyone cheered when we entered. I didn't realize that things would feel so good when choosing a different fraction. We ate and soon the announcement was made.
"All new girls who were chosen for the new program, please report to me." said the leader of Dauntless. I didn't know his name, and he was older than most. I started to walk up the stairs but tripped on my way up. I thought I was going to fall, but felt myself fall and then stop mid air.
I looked up to see a handsome man. "Thanks." I said. He smirked. "You should be more careful. We can't have you falling and causing problems. What's your name?" he asked. "I'm Quinn." I said. He nodded and stuck out his hand. "I'm Eric, welcome to Dauntless. I'll be nice today, but when training starts, don't think I'll be that easy on you." he said. I nodded and Eric motioned for me to continue to my destination. I don't think he knew where I was going, but I just shrugged it off and continued to my meeting.
I was the only girl in my new fraction to be chosen for the new law. I sighed and walked up to my new leader. "Excuse me, I'm here due to the announcement." I said.
The leader smiled. "Well, it seems like you are the only one, so therefore we must chat. Let me get your future husband and we shall begin. He is down in the hall." he said. I nodded and waited. Suddenly, Eric came walking up to me. He could not be?
Could he? I sighed and waited for the leader to speak. "Ok, Quinn, Eric, you two are to be married due to this law. Eric was chosen because he is a leader, and Dauntless needs more leaders." he said. I nodded and turned to Eric. He was actually kind of scary. I gulped.
"Oh don't worry sweetheart, I don't bite...hard." he said. I gasped. "Now, let's talk over the rules." said the leader. He turned to Eric.
"The rules state that you will only touch her on the wedding night and then you won't touch her till her training is completed, due to the fact that she must be trained, but she can't be hurt too bad, she needs to be able to produce children. So, she must be trained personally and with ease." he said. I gasped. "Oh, sir, please don't then I will feel like I'm getting special treatment, I want to be like everyone else." I said. The leader sighed.
I could see Eric looking at me with a surprised look. "Fine, you will be trained." he looked at Eric, "But if it gets too much, you end it. She must be able to produce." he said. Eric nodded. The leader continued to speak. "Now, you two will have your own quarters, and will be married by law. Everyone will know.
The rules state that if anyone tries to come in between you they get three strikes. Strike one is a warning, strike two is punishment, strike three, they join the fractionless. I will change the rules, regarding reproduction activities, so that things can be as normal as they can. Therefore, I give you a deadline, that a child must be produced by the end of this month, if not, drastic measures shall be taken." he said. Both Eric and I nodded.
"Good, now let's go get you married and then we will talk about those rules." he said. "Excuse me sir, I want my brother there." I said. The leader smiled. "Fractions don't mix." he said. I smiled. "That's ok, he is here in Dauntless." I said. Eric turned to me with a confused look. "Who?" he asked. I smiled. "Four." I said. The leader gasped. "Well then go get four, and Eric if you want someone, then by all means, let them come." he said.
Eric grimaced. "Why not just get married in front of the whole entire Dauntless if we are doing that." he said. The leader smiled. "Why that's a great idea." he said. Eric's smirk faded instantly. "I was kidding." he said. The leader smiled. "Well then, I'm sure that next time you won't say something unless you mean it." he said.
I smiled and held back a laugh. Eric glared at me. I smiled. "I'm sorry sir, no disrespect, but I don't want to get married in front of the entire Dauntless, and I'm sure that my future husband here does not want a whole lot of people knowing that we are married yet, it might ruin his reputation." I said with a smirk.
Eric glared at me even more. The leader laughed. "Eric, you have your hands full. Fine, so let it be. We will get your brother, and do this ceremony right now. We will fetch your brother." he said.
We waited as someone fetched Four. I knew my brother would not be happy about this, but we had to follow the law. My brother came pounding up the stairs and rammed into Eric. "What did you do? Why does she have to marry you?" he yelled. They were pulled apart and the leader explained the circumstances to Four. He blinked a couple of times before it finally clicked. He turned to Eric and spoke. "I'm sorry, I didn't know." he said. Eric nodded. "Just don't let it happen again." he said using his leader superiority.
Four nodded and watched as his only sister was married. You could tell he was not happy about it.
