Sorry about last chapter, I'm new to FanFiction and don't really know how it works! I hope you like my story, this is the first piece of writing I've ever shared with anyone but my closest friends...

Disclaimer: I couldn't possibly write something as genius as Divergent

I hit the net below and start laughing, I feel truly Dauntless. I grab a hand that was offered to me and see a girl about two years older than I. "A stiff? What is this?" she says.

Another girl behind her says, "Why else would she leave if she wasn't Dauntless, Lauren?"

"I don't know, Shauna! Anyway, what's your name?" She asks and looks at me.

"Tris" I reply sticking to my new name, I climb out of the net just as Shauna calls out.

"First jumper, Tris!" As soon as she finishes saying this Christina comes screaming down. After Christina comes Peter, Eric, Will, Tobias, Al, Molly and Drew. Next come the Dauntless born initiates, Uriah and Zeke come together, I later find out they're twins, then comes Lynn, Marlene and some others that I don't catch the name of.

Once everyone has jumped, Lauren, Shauna and Amar lead us to what they introduce as the Pit to the transfers. Lauren and Shauna say in unison, "Dauntless born with us, we're your trainers!" They look at each other and start laughing, they're obviously really good friends, it makes me want to be able to joke with a friend like that. I was never able to do that in Abnegation but now that I'm free, I hope I can.

Amar gestures to the rest of us, the transfers, to follow him. "Okay, you already know my name, I'm going to show you around so you don't get lost on your first day."

Christina snickers beside me. "What does he think we're that stupid?"

Amar approaches Christina and gets up in her face, "If you interrupt me again, Candor, I might think you are."

Christina nervously shakes her head yes. I'm stunned, I don't know what I would've done if that was me. After Amar shows us around the only thing that sticks with me is the Chasm, Amar warns us to be carful around it and to not be stupid. We all go to dinner where when we enter the dining hall everyone stands and starts pounding on tables, yelling and screaming, for us. Christina and I sit at a table and soon Tobias, Will and Al are asking if they can join us, Christina and I shrug as an answer. The boys sit down and Tobias and I stare blankly at what Christina, Will and Al say are hamburgers.

"Wait, you've never had a hamburger before?" Christina asks in shock.

"Nope" I say, "Just plain, Stiff, food."

"No wonder you guys left!"

"Yes, Christina, it was all because of the food." I laugh a little as Christina realizes I was being sarcastic. I'm loving this idea of friendship. I look over to see where the rest of the initiates are sitting. Eric, Peter, Molly and Drew are sitting a couple tables over; I can already tell they're going to be trouble. Amar comes over to talk to us about tomorrow, he and Tobias seem to hit it off immediately talking about all things Dauntless, Tobias asking countless questions, does someone have a secret I should know? I feel like I need to find someone else to relate to or share my secret with. But if I'm wrong… There is too much risk in this, I'll just have to observe him and see if I figure anything out by myself. I pull out of my thoughts to hear Christina asking me a question.

"You want to go back to the dorm with me and get settled in? We can go get some clothes too on the way."

"Um, sure. I'll come with you." We go to the Pit, but realize it's just too overwhelming for tonight and just go to the dorms. When we get there, most of the other initiates are there and Amar has finished saying that we have to be at training by 8:00 everyday.

"You are also going to be ranked on your performance, so I suggest you take the training very seriously, because at the end, some of you will be cut. Make sure you remember this."

"Wait, people are going to be cut and sent away?" Eric asks in a very concerned tone.

"Yes Eric, we're tough here in Dauntless, if you don't cut it, we don't want you."

"How many people are sent away?" I ask in a strong voice that goes against what I'm really feeling on the inside, terrified.

"You are rated along with the Dauntless born, but don't worry, we take into consideration that you don't have the experiences that they do. To answer the question at hand, four of all of you are going to be cut, that includes the Dauntless born and it can be any combination of people from each group."

Everyone is shocked by this news; I have to say I'm not all that surprised, I mean this is Dauntless we're talking about right now. I am determined that I will become a Dauntless member, I have to. After delivering this news, Amar leaves us to rest for the start of training tomorrow. Most people change into the provided clothing, but some of us, like me just flop onto the bed and try to fall asleep.

We have arranged ourselves into how we sat at dinner, I feel like this is going to become a pattern… When I get into bed, I regret not taking more time to spend on something else to distract myself from thoughts of my family. Everyone is trying to fall asleep; I think I've been trying for at least an hour. I can't focus on the thoughts of falling sleep with all of these new people around me, I'm thinking of my family, how I left and betrayed them. I can't stand it, I feel the tears coming on, but I force them away, I have to be brave.

My thoughts are shattered by a yell. I bolt upright and look around. I see Tobias shaking in his bed; he was the one who produced that unearthly sound. What could terrify someone that much?

I jump down from my top bunk and slip past a groggy Christina on the bunk below mine. I walk over to where Tobias' bed is and kneel to gently shake him awake. He yells out, "NO MARCUS!" Suddenly everything clicks for me. I know why I didn't recognize him, he never came out from the house down the street. He was always hiding, lurking as to not be caught outside.

I put my hand on his shoulder aware of all the other initiates' stares. "Tobias, wake up. Tobias?" He grabs the hand that was on his shoulder and I gasp in shock. I try to shake myself free, but he is too strong and I don't think he knows what he's doing. I take my free hand and push him back a little; he seems to wake up a little and releases my hand, almost throwing it away from him. His grip was strong, and I move my hand around to get a little feeling back into it. He looks into my eyes and seems to understand what he just did.

"Tris, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you or grab you like that. Are you okay?"

"Tobias, I'm fine, are you sure you're alright? You were yelling awful loud…"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." He mutters staring at his lap, as if ashamed.

I retreat to my bunk and climb around Christina who seems to just have processed what just happened. "Tris, you all right?" she says, her voice dripping with sleepiness.

"I'm fine, just go back to sleep." I see her turn around and face the wall, and is back asleep in an instant. I retreat into my world of thoughts after looking around the room; I don't think anyone will remember this late night encounter besides Tobias and me. I think back to the scene and search through my brain for what I'm trying to figure out. Tobias Eaton, Marcus Eaton. Maybe not all of the articles against Abnegation were lies. Erudite had published one a while back about Tobias and his father and how his father would come home and beat him. I'm thinking that wasn't as far fetched as it seemed when I first read it. Who would have thought that the kind, caring person on the outside could turn into a monster that beats his kid on the inside?

With thoughts of home, both good and bad, I drift off to sleep.
