(A/N Hey peeps! This is my third story! I'm currently working on two other ones so I might not be updating this AS much. But for now this is my main focus. Don't forget to check out my other stories! Thank bye!)
Tris POV:
Today is the day. The day my brother Zeke either chooses to leave his family for a different faction. Or he chooses to stay with me, my other twin brother Uriah, our dad, and our mom. I hope he stays. I rise from my bed to get ready. I grab a simple form fitting black tank top, and motorcycle pants. On top I wear a black leather jacket and combat boots. Once I'm done getting dressed, I line my eyes with black eye liner and put on mascara. The last this I do before exiting my room is tucking my blonde hair back into a ponytail. I sneak into Uriahs next, and wake him up by saying, "Dauntless Cake!" He shoots straight up in bed and looks around. "Where!" I laugh, "No where you idiot, come on let's go prank Zeke!" Uriahs face lights up at my words, he is also a dauntless prodigy. We are well known threw out the compound, part of that is because our dad, Max, is one of the Dauntless leaders. But what we are really known for, is our pranks. I love pranking the initiates, and this year me and Uri have some good ones planned. Once Uriah is dressed we go to our closet and retrieve, hair dye, paintball guns, and sharpies. Chuckling evilly, we enter Zeke's room to find him sound asleep."You get hair dye, I'll get the sharpies." I whisper to Uriah, and he nods, spraying Zeke's hair multi colored while I draw unicorns on both his cheeks. Quickly I finish the drawing off with a rainbow connecting the unicorns. "Get ready to run." I warn Uriah. "On one.. Threee... Twooooo... One!" And we wake Zeke by pelting him with paintballs. "TWINS!" I look at Uriah, "RUN!" I drop my gun and sprint downstairs and I to the kitchen, grabbing an apple on my way out. "Gotta go, bye mom, bye dad!" I wave to them, and drag Uriah out with me. Over my shoulder I see a very angry, very rainbow colored, Zeke.
"To the Cafeteria!" I shout, and I race Uriah there. "I. I think. I think we lost him." Uriah says between his heavy breathing from the sprint. "Man Uri, I think all that cake your eating is saying you down." I shake my head in mock disapproval, before going to sit at my usual table with Lynn, Marlene, and Shannua. "Hey Tris, hey Uri! Where's Zeke?" Shannua asks, and right on cue he comes barreling into the cafeteria. His eyes find me and Uriah, and once again the chase is on. Me and Uriah hide behind Shannua, we know Zeke has a crush on her, it's so obvious. Zeke seems to give up, so I go to the lunch line and get two slices of cake, and a saled. No one really talks, we all know that since it's also Shannuas Ceromony today, that we not ever see them again. I'm super nervous that Zeke will transfer, but I have to stay strong. I can't be, or look vulnerable its dangerous. Eventually it's time to go, so I clear my plate and run up to the train tracks. I wait for a few minutes before I hear everyone else joining me. It doesn't take long to heart he honk of the train, signaling its arrival. I begin to run aside it, and soon throw myself side ways into one of the cars. Uriah jumps in after me, and together we sink to the floor. I lean my head on his shoulder, "It's going to be okay, T. He wouldn't leave us." Uriah says. This help me, Uriah always has a way of calming me when I'm stressed. "I know. I know." I say, more for myself of than for him. This is how we remain until I hear calls of, "It's here! Get off!" Uriah helps me to my feet, my muscles are sore from being in the same position for so long. I grab Uriahs hand and we launch ourselves out of the train together. After doing this so many times, I land easily on my feet, so does Uriah. Moving in towards the Hub, wher the Ceromony will be held I notice a large Candor boy, picking on a small Abnegation one. Being the selfless little stiffs they are, they never defend themselves. I take a step towards them and say, "Hey Candor, I suggest ithat if you don't Erudite hospitals very much, than you back away from her, now." I hiss. By now, Uriah, Zeke, Lynn, and a few other Dauntless have come to watch. "Ha, you couldn't even harm a fly. How old are you, 12?" He scoffs, I hate being picked on for how small I am. "Actually I'm 14, also a Dauntless Prodigy." I say proudly. "You better back away man, never get this girl mad." A Dauntless, I think his name is Tyler says. The Candor just rolls his eyes and begins walking away. I tap him on the shoulder, and when he's turning around, punch him in his nose, and knee him in the gut. He screams in pain, his nose probably broken. "Tris! What did you do?" I reconize my dads voice. "He was being mean to an Abnegation girl, he deserved that." I whine, pointing to the kids bloody nose. "Okay, let's just go inside now." My dad says, ushering everyone in the Hub. Once inside I take a seat in the Dauntless sector next to Uriah.
Max/Dad of Tris POV:
I finish the customary speech, that I need to give each year before the actual Ceromony starts. This year, I'm running it. I call out the first persons name, "Xavier Wong." A Dauntless born steps up and chooses to transfer to Candor. Im actually glad because I never really liked him. I don't pay attenshion to any of the people I'm calling except the Dauntless born. Then I get to the one name that sends me into fear, "Zeke Pedrad." I call. I find him in the crowd, wrapped in Tris's tiny arms. She releases him from her hold and I watch as my son mounts the stage. I hand him the knife, and he accepts it. When he cuts his hand I notice them shaking. In the crowd, I can see Tris cutting off circulation in Uriah's hand from squeezing it so hard. At least I'm not the only who is scared he will transfer. Then I hear the best sound I could, the sizzling of the coals. "Dauntless." I announce, with pride in my voice. Zeke takes his seat at the front with the other Dauntless initiates. I'm beyond happy when Shannau, Zeke's friend that I suspect he likes, chooses to remain in Dauntless. But something surprises me, an Abnegtion actually chooses to transfer to Dauntless. That's the first time in history that happened. I guess he left the them for a reason, and I find myself hoping he makes it.
When the Ceromony is finally over, I release each faction on by one. Dauntless second to last. I join the back of the crowd, but reconize Tris's blonde ponytail bobbing as she runs in the front, with Zeke and Uriah. We all hop on the train car some what easily, except for the Stiff. I see Tris grabbing his hand and pulling him in the cart. They begin to talk with the ach other, Tris starting into his eyes which are deep blue. This will be a interesting year for Dauntless.
Tobias/Four POV:
"Dauntless." The man announces, I think his name is Max. I finally escaped him, I finally escaped my abusive father Marcus. Walking towards the rows of Dauntless, I see one girl who catches my eye. She has bright blonde hair, it hangs in slight curls down her back. Her eyes are a beautiful gray with specks of blue in them. She's pretty, very pretty. I notice her sitting next to a boy with dark skin and chocolate eyes, she's holding his hands. I don't know why, but a flare of jealousy rushes threw me. I don't even know her, why should I be jealous? I think to myself.
Finally, the Ceromony is over. When the Dauntless section gets realeased, they begin to run toward the train tracks. I run with them. But when they reach the train cars, and jump on, I have trouble and can't seem to do it. Finally the blond headed girl helps me in. Once I'm up close to her, I notice how young she actually looks, about 14 probably. She give me a smile and says, "Hi, my name is Tris!" In a cheerful voice. "Hi, I'm Tobias, but please don't call me that." "What should I call you then?" Tris asks. I think about it for a minute before saying, "Four." I see the confusion evident on her face. "When we did fear landscapes once in school, I had four fears." Her jaw drops. "Only Four! That's a record. I had Six. I'm a dauntless Prodigy, I bet you will be to." We sit down and talk for a while longer, before the boy I saw her sitting next to comes up to us. "Hey Tris! Hey dude, what's your name?" He asks me. "Four." I anwser plainly. "Sweet, I'm Uriah, Tris's brother." Without warning, Uriah sweeps Tris off the ground, and throws her over his shoulder. She shrieks, and laughs. "Time to get off!" An older dauntless man announces. Uriah puts Tris down, and I rise to my feet, standing next them. "We have to jump!" Tris yells to me over the wind. She grabs my hand, and I swear at feel sparks. "Ready, set, JUMP!" Tris starts running and pulls me after her. Then when she reached the edge of the train car, Tris hurls herself out of the car and onto the compound roof. Tris laughs, and I find myself joining her. She landed on her feet, I however toppled to my knees. Tris helps me up and leads me to the growing group of initiates near the edge of the roof.
Tris POV:
Dad gives the same speech he does every year to the new initiates. I tune out most of it, until I hear the sentence a I have been waiting for all day. "Who wants to jump first?" My hand goes shouting up in the air. "Me Dad! Me me me!" I run towards the ledge, but so does Uriah. "No me Dad! Me me me ME!" Uriah argues. "I asked first." I whine facing Uriah, we continue to fight for a few minutes before I get tired of it. I sweep kick Uriah's legs, and step on the ledge. Before Uriah can get back up I say, "See you later Suckers!" And do a backflip of the roof.
The impact of the net knocks the wind out of me, and I laugh. Amar gives me his hand, and pulls me off the net before Uriahs fat but can squish me. I trot over to the wall and sink down, waiting for the other initiates to jump. Soon they all have, and Amar begins the tour. Me and Uriah head back to our apartment and watch a movies together. Soon my eye lids begin to feel heavy and I'm struggling to keep them open. I end up falling asleep on top of Uriah on the couch.
