Hey y'all!

I'm really excited about this chapter, especially the end.

I named one of my OCs in this chapter after a friend who died two weeks ago. If she was going to be in the divergent world she would have been from amity and transferred to dauntless. No doubt. So here's to you Alex. Rest in Peace.

Peace and Love.

My blood sizzles on the dauntless coals. My new faction erupts into cheers and praises as I make my way over to them. I feel happy for the first time in a long time.

Soon the ceremony is over and the Dauntless and I are making our way down the stairs of the hub. We yell as loud as our voices will let us as our feet hit each consecutive step. As I burst through the door to the hub I feel the freedom that I've been missing all my life. It already feels good to be a dauntless.

We run toward the train tracks and I can tell what's going to happen next. We are going to have to jump off of a moving train. This is going to be particularly difficult since I am in a dress. I know that I am in a tank top and capri pants under my dress so I might as well take the dress off and make it easier on myself. I hear "Oooh," and "Stiffs got guts." I also hear the rumble of the tracks. The train is coming. I line up next to some other initiates of whom I have yet to learn their names. We all take off running as the train pulls up next to us. I sprint towards the open door and leap up to put my foot in the hold and take the handle. Swinging myself into the car is much harder than I thought it would be. I pull and pull but I just can't seem to get enough strength to haul myself onto the train. Suddenly a hand comes off of the compartment. I take it and they help me in. It's a boy that some would describe as cute but not me. He's not my type. He's no Tobias. He has shaggy, dirty blonde hair and sparkling green eyes. He is very short, almost shorter than I am. He wears dauntless clothing so he must be a dauntless born but he looks young so I'm guessing he's an initiate.

"Hi. I'm Ryan. And you are?" Aurelia doesn't sound right anymore. And Tobias is the only one that I'd ever let call me Lia.

"Rae. I'm Rae." I shake his hand and we sit down next to the door to talk. He seems pretty nice. He laughs and nods at the appropriate times and makes me laugh too. Is this what it's like to have a friend?

Ryan and I were talking about what life was like in dauntless and in the middle of his sentence he stopped talking completely and just stared right past me. I followed his gaze and it lands on a pretty amity. She has long, very dark brown hair and dark brown eyes that are almost black. She is super short and super skinny. She looks like the perfect height for Ryan. I can tell that Ryan likes her by the way that he is watching her longingly. She is sitting by herself in the compartment. I think I'll invite her over with us.

I get up and walk over to where the amity girl sits. She looks up at me and blinks a few times. "Hi. I'm Rae. What's your name?"

She immediately answers back. "Alexandria. But my friends call me Alex."

"My friend and I are sitting over there," I point over to Ryan, "I was wondering if you wanted to sit with us?" She nods. We walk over to Ryan and sit down. "Ryan this is Alex. Alex this is Ryan." They stare at each other for a long time. "Aaaaaand now I'm alone." I take this opportunity to look out the door to the train and see that the dauntless are jumping from the train to a building that is what seems to be at least five feet away. Oh, crap.

I start feverishly snapping in my new friends faces trying to get their attention. It works. "We're jumping. Get ready." They questioningly look at each other and then at me and then at the door. It was kind of funny to watch actually. We all stand up and go towards the wall opposite the opening of the train. Ryan runs and jumps, followed by Alex, and lastly me. I give it all my restored strength and am soon rolling on a gravel roof. It hurts. I have at least one scrape and gravel is indented into my skin everywhere. I brush it off and follow Ryan and Alex to where man with dark skin and a confident attitude stands.

"I'm Max. One of the leaders of dauntless. To thrive here you need to be brave. You can prove that today by jumping into the members entrance of the compound. Who wants to be first?" I know that the anticipation of the event is what will doom me more than the actual jump itself so I probably should go first. I walk up to Max and look him in the eyes. "A stiff. Huh. We'll see if you make it here."

That was enough of a challenge for me. I take a step on to the ledge and look down. There is a large hole that should be hard to miss. I jump and then I'm free falling through the air. Like I guessed, I made it through the hole with no problem. I hit something and bounce a couple of times. I realize that I hit a net. It's actually funny. I didn't even fear for my life once or think about what was at the bottom of the hole to catch me. I start to laugh.

Many hands reach up to assist me off the net and I grab the first set that I can find. They belong to a man with brown (almost black) hair in a short abnegation like haircut and with deep blue eyes. Those eyes though. I would know them anywhere. Tobias.

"Name, initiate." He says that like we didn't spend our whole lives together. I hear the sound of my heart breaking into a million tiny pieces.

Now I'm just angry. How can he not remember me? Well if he doesn't remember me then I will pretend that I don't remember him. "Rae. And you are?" I spit it out with as much venom as humanly possible. I guess I'm not that good at hiding my anger.

"I'm Four." He looks confused. Why would he be? He just forgot his girlfriend. The one that he said that he wanted to marry someday. And where did the name Four come from? Who names them self after a number.

"Make the announcement Four." A girl with way too much makeup comes over and slings her arm across Tobias's waist. Oh. I see. New faction, new girlfriend.

"First jumper, Rae." There is a loud and thunderous applause that moves in from all around as dauntless come out from the shadows. I send Tobias my most sickeningly sweet smile and storm over to where makeup girl tells me to wait.

The whole time I only think one thing.

Love Sucks.
