AN: YAY another chapter! Please keep reading and reviewing guys! If I don't get more reviews I won't continue the story because then I think people aren't enjoying it and I don't want to write something nobody likes! Here is Chapter 4!
Tobias' POV
It looks like we have a trouble-some group of initiates this year, they look like they are seeking trouble already. We have 8 transfers- 2 Amity, 2 Erudite, and 4 Candor. Yay. Lots of Candor smart mouths (note sarcasm). Also there 9 Dauntless born. The transfers go like this:
Maria (Amity) - short, skinny, jet black shoulder length bone straight hair, dark brown-almost black eyes, doesn't look very strong but she is very determined
Jazz (Amity) -tall, not fat but very muscular, butt length jet black wavy hair, golden eyes, looks pretty strong for Amity, also very determined, won't leave Maria's side (AN sorry I forgot to mention the Amity's relation, they aren't twins but are sisters!)
Brendon (Erudite) - very broad shoulders, tall, looks like he will beat everyone in the fights, cocky, can tell he will be a pain already, sandy blonde hair, cold blue eyes
James (Candor) –looks like the Peter of the group but smaller, olive skin colour, dark brown hair, hazel eyes, staring at Tris, seems to be making friends with Brendon
Chloe (Candor) –swooning over me already, blonde straight hair, green eyes, doesn't look like she will make it
Abbie (Candor) –Chloe's minion, ombre hair, brown eyes, staring into my eyes with such passion it makes me want to throw up, again looks like she won't make it either
Joe (Erudite) –tall, lanky but has quite a bit of muscle, light brown hair, dark blue eyes, very quiet and reserved
David (Candor) –average height, no muscle what so ever, black hair, icy blue eyes, very curious, seems to be making friends with Joe
No Abnegation, not that I'm surprised. Tris and I were the only Abnegation transfers, so I heard; well people think Tris is the only one because they don't know what faction I came from. I sneak I look at Tris and she is stalking down the initiates like a lion would their prey.
"Listen up initiates!" I holler. "Dauntless-born, go over there to Christina and Uriah, they will be training you, transfers stay with us!"
The initiates scramble everywhere to go to their designated trainers.
"Welcome to Dauntless!" Tris screams. "I'm Six, this is Four. We will-"
"What kind of names are those? Pretty original.." an initiate snickers. Big mistake.
Turns out it was James, oh great! They initiate that was staring at Tris. Tris walks up to him very slowly and you can actually see the colour draining from his face. He gulps and his pupils dilate so they are covering his entire iris so you can't see a peek of his hazel eyes. Good. He should be afraid.
"You want to say that again initiate? Remember, your fate in Dauntless lies in my hands and I can make you Factionless in less than one minute." Tris sneers.
James just gulps and whispers a barely audible "No ma'am." I try to hold back the laughter that bubbles up in me, but a faintly smirk and apparently Brendon notices because of what he says next..
"You find that funny? That your guys' job is to scare us until we run screaming from your faction?"
"I think it's hilarious actually, I have the best job ever." I retort.
Brendon just gives me a look that could kill, and I smirk even bigger.
"Let's get on with the tour shall we?" Tris says.
"Yes. Follow us initiates."
We walk with the initiates and mine and Tris' arms are vaguely skimming each other to let the other know we are there but not so much that the initiates wonder. We stop right outside the double doors to the Pit and turn to address the initiates.
"Right behind us is the Pit, learn to love it, sooner rather than later. It's the heart of the compound and can give you pretty much anything you need." I say
We push open the doors and the initiates gasp at the lively Pit. Their faces have mixtures of shock, fear and most excited for what lies next. We lead them to the Chasm and I can feel Tris begin to stiffen at the memories of Al. I decide to take the lead on it since Tris doesn't really look stable enough to tell them.
"This is the Chasm. It's here to represent the fine line between bravery and idiocy. One daredevil jump off the edge will end your life, it has happened before and will happen again, and you've been warned."
Now the initiate's faces just have looks of fear, all the excitement gone from their faces. We lead them into the cafeteria and every single Dauntless member begins to holler, and cheer. They go to their own table and me and Tris go over to our friends table, to find them all there waiting on us.
"Hey guys." Tris greets.
"Hey." the all mutter.
"How are yours? Mine couldn't be more of a pain!" Christina complains.
"Eh the usual smart mouth Candors, know it all Erudites." I reply.
"Yeah and I will personally kill Chloe or her little minion friend Abbie if they lay one single finger on you." Tris spits through her teeth.
"Same goes for James." I say to her, but much softer than she did to me.
:)PAGE BREAK(:
After dinner we lead the initiates to the dorms and tell them to find a bed. Once they all find one we start off with the rules of initiation.
"This is where you will be staying for your time here as initiates. Training is every day from 8am to 6pm with a break for lunch, after that you are free to do whatever you like. We have no curfew but if you plan on getting up in the morning let alone passing initiation, I suggest get back not too late." I explain
"Training is separated into three stages, the first physical, the second emotional and the last mental. You will be ranked according to your skills and performance level. Each stage is weighed more heavily than the last, so it is possible, though difficult, to drastically improve your rank over time. You will be training separate from the Dauntless-born but will be ranked together at the end." Tris says
"Any questions?" I inquire. Almost every hand shoots up. Great.
"Abbie?" Tris calls with a harshness in her voice.
"Um I was just wondering how old Four over here is?" Abbie says.
"I'm nineteen." I speak. "And taken."
Abbie huffs in frustration and Chloe looks like she is about to murder someone.
"Any questions involving initiation and not us?" I spit out.
Every hand in the room goes down and Jazz's hand slowly rises. I nod to her as if saying 'Go ahead'.
"Just out of curiosity, why are we ranked?" she questions.
"You are ranked because of two reasons, one because the higher you rank the better job you get and second, only the top 10 initiates are made official Dauntless members." Tris says smoothly like she didn't just say 7 people aren't going to become members.
Everyone's eyes turn the size of saucers and Chloe screams "WHAT!"
Courses of "that's not fair" and "what" and "I'm screwed" go around the room.
"And what happens if we get cut?" Jazz continues.
"You live Factionless of course." I say with a slight edge in my voice.
Now everyone is to freaked out to do anything but sit there and stare at us. Tris and I turn towards each other and say at the exact same time:
"Welcome to Dauntless."
