Here is a new chapter:) Please review!
Chapter 4
"We have to jump!" I yell hastily.
"What? Are these people insane?" Katelyn yells back at me, trying to be heard over the roaring train.
"Well let's jump." I reply back.
I bend my knees and use all my force to push myself off the train. I go flying through the air like a bird taking flight for the first time. I come crashing in to a hard and cold surface. I look around but I don't see Katelyn. I stand and wipe the few rocks from my yellow capris and straighten my red tank top, still no Katelyn. Then I hear a thump. I look over to find Katelyn on the ground.
I met Katelyn on the train heading to the Dauntless compound. She transferred from Erudite. I can tell that she is very intelligent but she is very kind, she doesn't think too much of herself. To be honest she is gorgeous! I mean what's better than having a brain and being pretty? She is tall and slender with blonde hair. When we got on the train her eyes were hazel but now looking at her now on the ground they are green.
"What color are your eyes? On the train they were hazel but now they are as green as pine needles on a pine tree."
"Oh yeah my eyes change color. When I'm nervous they are brown but when my adrenaline is pumping they turn a deep green."
"That is really neat." I say eagerly.
"Did you know that neat also means arranged in an orderly or tidy way?" Katelyn says with a smile on her face.
"Well that's, interesting. So what," I get interrupted by a dark skinned man.
"To go on in dauntless training you need to jump off of this building." The mysterious man says.
"Jump! Are you crazy can't we just go down a flight of stairs to get into the dauntless compound." A short boy with brown hair shrieks.
"Are you scared? The only way to get to the dauntless compound is by jumping and if you are scared of just jumping off a building it might be best if you don't continue in initiation." The man says bitterly.
"Who are you?" Says a sassy girl with bluish gray eyes.
"I am Uriah. I am also of one of your new dauntless leaders. This actually is my first year so be ready for anything!
"What happened to the old dauntless leader? What was his name? Edric, no. Ed, no. Oh I remember it was Eric!" A boy with red hair remembers.
"Let's just say he got kicked out." Uriah says with an evil smile on his face. "So who wants to be the first jumper?"
A boy that has been quiet most of the time walked up to ledge and stood on it. He wore white and black to represent Candor but he was nothing like the people in Candor. The people in Candor are usually loud and rude, they just don't have a filter for their mouth.
The boy turned toward us and then let himself fall backwards. At first it kind of took me by surprise because he looked so peaceful and calm. I thought jumping off a building would be nerve racking but I guess not. By him being so calm I decided I should be next to jump off because it seemed so easy but by the time I actually got up there I was shaking like I had been in Antarctica for a week with no clothes on. I guess I have a major fear of heights.
"Are you having a seizure? " Calls a short dirty blonde hair boy.
"Nope just a little nervous but here goes nothing." I try to say with my voice steady but it didn't work out. I turn to see if something would catch me at the bottom of the building but it was too dark to see anything. I decided to be brave and just let myself fall and trust that these people weren't trying to kill us on the first day.
As I was falling I was silent, I wanted to take in how it felt to free fall because this could be the thing that only happens once in your life. But I have a feeling being in dauntless I'll have many of those moments.
Suddenly I hit a hard surface and I am out of breath. I rolled over to find a brown net. Then I see hand stretching out to me. I grab the hand and then I am confronted by a man with ocean blue eyes.
"What is your name?" The man asks me.
"Alison. What's yours?"
"Four and this is Tris." Four points toward a short girl with bluish gray eyes. "We are going to be the initiate's trainer." Four leans down and gives Tris a gives on the forehead.
I hear another person hit the net and see Katelyn. I congratulate her and then we just stand there quietly waiting for the rest of the people to come flying down. Once everyone is on ground level, well actually I think the Dauntless compound is underground, Four and Tris walk to stand in front of us.
"For training each of you will go through three stages. These stages are physical, emotional, and physical." Tris continues." This will not be easy. Only the top ten make it to be members."
"What will happen to the one person that doesn't get in the top ten?"
Four starts. "Well actually the ten include dauntless born and you guys. In the first round a few of you guys will be cut and a few dauntless born will be cut. Then at the end of all of this more will be cut and become factionless."
"How many dauntless born are there?"
"I think that there are ten." Tris replies.
I swear every person in that room had their mouth open. "But. But that means eleven of us will be factionless!" A girl shrieks.
"Well I guess you just have to work hard but anyway it is lunch time so let's head to the cafeteria." Four says excitedly.
~Page Break~
Katelyn and I seated ourselves in a corner with our food. I look at my plate and try to decide on what I'm going to eat first. I got some fruit, vegetables, and a piece of bread.
"So are you a vegetarian?" Katelyn asks.
"No not really I just don't eat meats and fish."
Katelyn starts laughing hysterically. "Then you are a vegetarian. A vegetarian is a person that doesn't eat meats or fish but eats seeds, fruits, vegetables, grains, and usually eats eggs and dairy products. Why are you a vegetarian?"
"Well my parents raised me like this because they didn't like the fact that animals have to die for us to enjoy something."
"Well that is very interesting and I guess you are amity so that makes since. Are a lot of amity people like this because I haven't read much about amity people and now I'm wishing I did."
"I didn't really talk to people that much so I don't really know but I am going to go dump my tray. Do you want me to take yours for you?" I ask.
"No I'm okay but you really haven't eaten that much."
"I'm not feeling so hungry but I will be back in a minute." I say with my teeth clenched.
Katelyn is kind of making me want to punch her with all of this nonsense. I just need to find somewhere quiet and calm down. Suddenly I hit something hard and all of my food goes on me. I scream and look up to find the fiercest green eyes I have ever seen been for. I feel like I was hypnotized forever but I snap myself back into reality.
"You could watch where you are going!" I yell.
"I'm very sorry. Here let me help clean you up." The boy says nicely.
"NO I AM FINE!" I yell twice as loud as last time.
Then all of a sudden the boy picks me up and puts me over his shoulder. He carries me out of the cafeteria with no trouble. He must be fairly strong because I was thrashing at his back and I am pretty strong. It looks like he brought me into the boy's bathroom because I see guys walking out pretty fast. He then gently sets me down on the counter.
"Here I will get you a cloth to wipe off with." The boy says.
"What is your name?"
"Zach. What is yours?" He says with a flirty grin on his face.
"Let's talk after I calm down so can you please step into the hall for a little bit." I try to ask politely.
"Sure if you need anything I will just be in the hall."
Zach may have been the most beautiful person I have ever met. He had hair as black as obsidian and his eyes they were a green that I have never seen before. I could let myself dream about him because it calmed me down but nothing could happen between us. One reason why is because I am not pretty. I am tall and kind of muscular. My hair is a medium brown and I have blue eyes. I look like a person that belongs in the circus.
Zach interrupts my thoughts by walking into the bathroom. "Here is some water and some chocolate cake. This cake is so hard to get so enjoy every bite because you probably won't see another piece for like six months." He says sassily.
I take a bite of the cake and am happier by the moment. He was right it is amazing! "Thanks. Sorry I freaked out on you earlier I kind of have a temper." I smile shyly
"You can say that again. How about we go back to the cafeteria and I introduce you to my friends."
"Hopefully they don't hate me." I say sarcastically but inside I truly am scared.
"Of course they won't. Oh and I still don't know your name."
"Alison is my name."
What do you think of Zach and Alison?
