Anastasia's POV

"Come on, Tasi!" My friend, Jason, calls from ahead of me.

I laugh and run faster. As I gain speed, I pass him and the two others, Parker and Vicki.

"Catch me if you can!" I taunt.

They attempt to pass me, but I keep my legs moving and my boots hit the ground in time with the beat of my heart.

My burgundy satchel flies across my chest with each stride I take. I clutch it, not wanting to spill the apples, bread, cheese and water I packed for today at the top of the highest building in Chicago, the Willis Tower.

I fly past a Factionless family and stop in my tracks. Jason, Parker and Vicki skid to a stop. "What's up, Tasi?" Parker asks.

I look closer at the Factionless family. There's a mom, a girl about 5 years old, and a little boy, about 2. They look surprised I stopped. Usually only an Abnegation would stop, but I always stop for the Factionless.

I walk over slowly and open my bag. "Here," I say gently. I hand them one of the six loaves of bread, a large hunk of cheese, two apples, and a water bottle.

The family looks as if they've lucked out, even though it's only a small portion of food. The skeletal woman nods. "Thank you," She says. The little girl smiles at me with crooked teeth. The boy, with very dirty skin, hugs me. I pat his back and move on with my friends.

They look surprised that I stopped, but I do it regularly. Usually on my way to school I pack extra food in my lunch so I can give them some.

The Factionless are everywhere. They swarm the city, digging through the trash for even a bite of food. They're lucky to find a battered, holey, too big shirt to wear.

I begin to run again. My friends follow, Jason closest to me and Parker farthest.

Jason Niah, Vicki Carello and Parker Weston. My three best friends.

There's Jason Niah, the school hottie. Every 8th grader in town wants to date him. I don't blame them; he's gorgeous with his shaggy brown hair, golden brown eyes and perfect physique for a 13-year-old.

Vicki Carello is the smart one. She's very strategic about attack plans, which is perfect for Dauntless. She has short black hair and large emerald eyes and she's very tall.

And then Parker Weston. He's the flexible gymnast. He can stretch in any way possible, it's scary. He's also very strong, which is good for hand-to-hand combat. He has blonde hair and hazel eyes and he's short.

Last of all, there's me. Just me. Anastasia Beatrice Eaton. In all my glory. The fastest runner. The best fighter. The most brave, the least fearful. I have golden brown hair that creeps down to my waist. Large blue-grey eyes. The shortest one of the group. And the most Dauntless. I was born to be Dauntless. It's in my blood. Nobody can deny my fate.

The four of us have to stick together. We're all like siblings. Cousins. Blood relatives. We could never be broken, this connection that we have. We made a pact that at the Choosing Ceremony we'd all pick Dauntless no matter what our aptitude test revealed. So that the connection we have would always be alive. If we ever went into combat we'd all be at each other's side. Helping each other out to fight the rebels.

I stop in front of the Willis Tower. My friends gather around me and smile.

"You ready?" I ask.

"Totally, Tasi." Parker says.

"We can always turn back if you're too scared." Jason teases Vicki.

"Oh, please. She's physically capable of doing this. Taller people have longer limbs, so it's easier for them to reach things that are farther away in climbing. She has a better chance than any of us." I stand up for Vicki. She looks stunned.

"What she said." Vicki blurts out. The boys laugh and I can't help but let out a chuckle.

Sometimes Mom says that I could be in Erudite or Abnegation as well as Dauntless. But Dad always says that I'm sure to be Dauntless. I sort of agree with him, but I agree with Mom more.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Vicki says.

"Who's first?" I ask.

"You." All three of them say without hesitation. I roll my eyes and try to find a good starting spot.

When I'm about 9 feet up, I look down at them. They already look so small.

"Are you gonna come up yet, babies?" I tease.

Jason then starts to climb. I want to get there first, so I begin to scamper up the building, weaving in and out of windows.

I'm almost to the top when I hear Jason call up to me.

"Tasie, Vicki is getting tired." He says.

"We're almost there!" I reassure.

"Are you sure?" He asks.

"It's only about 11 feet away." I reply and continue climbing.

I'm at the point where I can touch the top in about two minutes.

"I can touch!" I scream down to the others.

"Well go up, then!" Parker says.

I hoist myself up and look down at the floor of the city. I see a blue streak of people. The Erudite making their way to The Hub for the choosing ceremony. I see a grey streak. Abnegation. A yellow streak. Amity. A white streak with black mixed in. Candor.

I then see the small-looking train carrying the Dauntless to make their grand appearance of jumping off the train, howling and cheering on their way to the aptitude test.

"One day that'll be us." Says Vicki, who has appeared along with Parker and Jason for our Willis Tower feast.

"Yup. On our way to figure out our destinies." Parker says.

"We figured out our destinies the minute we met." Jason adds.

I turn to them. "Dauntless for life?" I ask.

They nod.

"Until the very end." Jason says.

We all hug and enjoy the rest of our day eating and laughing together.
