Chapter 3:

The leader married us with one of the ceremonies that were done years ago when civilization was running. It was before the fractions took place.

So, the leader said, I now pronounce you man and wife, you may seal it with a kiss. I swear you could hear crickets going off, if there were any crickets, which there were not. Eric turned to me and I turned to him. He didn't seem like someone who would kiss someone, he seemed more hard to get to know and really really aggressive. I gulped.

He smiled and bent down to reach my level and planted a soft, chaste, quick kiss on my life. The deed was done. We were married. I stood there, not saying anything. We heard a cough and turned to see the leader waiting for our attention. The leader motioned for us to follow him and we did. Four went back to doing whatever he was doing.

We followed the leader and were soon in a hallway that had a door in it. Eric was the first to speak. "Where are we, if I may ask sir?" the leader smiled. "Your quarters." he said. "Well thank you sir, I think we got it from here." said Eric. The leader smiled. "You didn't think it would be that easy did you?" he said. I gulped and Eric paled. The leader chuckled. "Remember what I said. You have tonight and then you won't touch her till the training is over, well my guards are here to ensure that you do touch her tonight. They will stand guard outside the door till morning." he said. Eric stilled and then stood at attention. "I won't let you down sir." he said.

I gasped. The leader chuckled. "Calm down. Just go to your room and when the morning comes, things will go as they are supposed to go. You two will train and then when training is done, you will reproduce." he said. Both Eric and I nodded. We entered the room and the door was shut behind us. I heard a locking noise and turned to Eric. "So, what happens now?" I asked. Eric chuckled. "Don't you remember, it's our wedding night sweetheart." he said in a mocking tone. I grimaced. This was not how I wanted this to go. I looked at the room to find that it was bare. There was a table with two chairs a nightstand with a candle on it, and a bed that could fit two people.

Then there was a door that looked to lead somewhere. I opened the door to see a small bathroom with a toilet, sink, and a shower. There was no privacy, except for the door. There were no lights in it, so a candle would have to do if you took a shower at night, and the door would have to be open during the day. I backed out of the bathroom and saw a big metal bin next to the door. "What is that?" I asked. Eric grunted. "You never seen a tub before?" he asked. I nodded.

"Oh." I blushed. I felt myself getting cold. I hugged myself and continued to walk around and look at the room that Eric and I would be sharing. I looked around some more, and found a trunk of stuff. I turned to Eric, who shrugged. "My stuff is already here." he said pointing to the corner, where I saw a trunk. I nodded and opened the trunk before me. "There are candles and matches here." I said. Eric came over and took them out of the trunk and placed them on the table. "What else?" he asked. I continued to look. There were some blankets, and a couple of pillows. I threw them on the bed and continued to dig. "What is this?" I asked. Eric came over and looked in the chest.

He picked it up and examined it. "it's a kettle." he said. I sighed. "What does it do?" I asked. Eric smiled. "Come here." he said. He brought me around the wall and I saw a fireplace next to the bed. I guess I had missed that. He pulled the protective mesh away from the fireplace, took a match and lit it. He then got the fireplace started. "We put water in this kettle and hang it over the fire. It makes the water get warm so you can drink it, cook with it, or even get a warm bath." he said.

I nodded. "Ok." I said. Eric looked at me. "Do you know how to cook?" he asked. I nodded. "Yes I do" I said. Eric smiled. "Good, cause I don't want to always eat in that hall." he said. I smiled. "I can do that." I replied. Eric smiled. "What else is in the trunk?" he asked. I walked over to the trunk as Eric put the protective fence in front of the fireplace. I looked into the trunk and found three more things. I found thee boxes. I took the first box out and opened it. Inside was a picture. It was a picture of my parents and how happy they were together.

I looked at the next picture and saw another couple. I could only assume they were Eric's parents. I looked to Eric who nodded at my unasked question. He took the pictures and placed them on the mantle above the fireplace. I put the box under them to give them support. Eric picked up the second box in the trunk. He opened it to find a scroll. He opened the scroll and started to read. "If you are reading this, then understand that the two of you are married and it's your wedding night. I am sure that I have already told you the rules, but what I didn't tell you is that Quinn shall be tested in the morning. This is done to ensure that both parties participate and that the people and fractions are not trying to deceive the law." I gulped as Eric read.

Eric looked to me and smirked. He continued to read. "The test will be to ensure that the marriage was completed and that the process of reproduction was at least started. You have one month to create a child, and if in one month that is not done, then drastic measures shall be taken." he finished reading. I sighed.

"That's just great!" I yelled and walked away from the trunk. "I really wanted to loose my virginity like this!" I yelled. Eric looked up with surprise. "You are a virgin?" he asked. I nodded with a blush. "Of course you are, you are originally from Abnegation." he said. I nodded. Eric took the scroll and dropped it into the fire, then looked at me. "What's in the last box?" he asked. I picked up the last box and opened it. In it were a pair of wedding rings. They looked to be made out of metal and were twisted into nice designs. Eric took mine out and placed it on my finger in a delicate way. I looked at Eric and spoke. "Do you want me to put yours on?" I asked. Eric nodded. "Yes, that would be fine." he said. I took his ring out and placed it on his finger. Once I did that, I placed the box onto the fireplace mantle. Eric closed the trunk and placed it at the end of our bed, and we helped each other by spreading the blankets onto our bed and placing the pillows right.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Eric stopped and walked to the door and opened it. It actually opened. There stood a guard. "We have brought your things." he said. Eric nodded. "I have my things, but perhaps you mean Quinn's things?'' he asked. The guard nodded. A couple of guards brought in a trunk of stuff and then left, closing the door behind them, and once again, we heard the locking of the door. I looked to Eric puzzled. "I thought that when we chose our fraction, we left everything behind?" I asked. Eric nodded. "Open it and find out. We can unpack our things together." he said. I nodded and headed to the trunk. "Well at least we have enough seating to entertain guests." Eric said with a snide smirk. I rolled my eyes, and opened the trunk to find new clothes, shoes, and a note. I opened the note and it read. "Due to the fact that you are helping to recreate the human race, clothes, shoes, and common accessories are given to you, to ensure that you are properly taken care of in order to keep you healthy to reproduce." I read out loud.

I heard Eric snort. "That's it!?" asked Eric. I nodded and pushed the trunk against the wall. Eric placed his trunk next to mine, and soon, we found ourselves in an awkward situation. I was going to be tested, but how, the note didn't say? I sighed and sat on the bed. "What now?" I asked. Eric smiled. "I'm going to take a shower, and then you can wash up." he said.

I nodded and watched as Eric grabbed his change of clothes and headed into our bathroom. I heard the water turn on, and Eric step into the shower. I sighed. This was going to be hard. I had never even kissed a boy. Wait! That's not true. My first kiss was with Eric when we were pronounced man and wife. What was I supposed to do? I was never taught.

I felt the panic start to rise. Suddenly, I heard the shower turn off. That was fast! I felt the heat rise in my chest as Eric came out of the bathroom wearing nothing but his pants and socks. His muscles were ripe with energy. He was so fit. I guess that's what happens when you are the leader of Dauntless. I shook myself out of it and looked at Eric in the face. Eric spoke. "You can take a shower now if you want." he said. I nodded and ran to my trunk. I sorted through the clothes to find a soft nightgown. It was black and red. It was modest, but made me feel uncomfortable.

I looked around for some pants but could not find anything besides the nightgown to sleep in, so I took that as a sign. I looked around the chest for some underwear and a bra and found a plain black pair. They were simple, which I was thankful for. I went into the bathroom and saw that Eric had lit some candles so that I could close the door. I smiled. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all? I quickly took a shower, and realized that I needed to do some major hygiene.

I looked into my hygiene bag that I was provided and found a razor, shaving gel, and deodorant. I quickly shaved and finished showering. I got out of the shower, dried off in the towel that was in the bathroom, and got dressed. I put the deodorant on, and looked at myself in the mirror.

I looked like a rat's nest. I got out the brush that was in there and brushed my hair till it was nice and neat. I had hair that was down to my shoulders. It was dark brown. I had hazel eyes. I brushed my teeth and then washed my face again.

I think I was trying to stall, because I was terrified of what was to come. I put everything back in my bag, and placed the bag on the back of the toilet. I then hung up my towel next to the towel Eric had used and looked at the closed door. It was now or never. I had to stop being a chicken. This was my life.

I had no choice. The least I could do was make the best of it. Why should I be miserable because someone said so.
