Abby walks on the stage . She is very confident with herself. Jason hands her a knife . Jason doesn't like Jeanine Matthew so he treated her very coldly as well. Abby wants to say something but she stops right there
Abby likes Jason or not which I am not sure but I know that she has feeling for him. Jason is Eric coulter's brother and Abby was flirting with both of them?
"Choose quickly and I don't have all those time ." Jason says annoyed
"He doesn't like Abby ." I say
"Yeah no one like her . Her mother is a third person and she stoles her best friend boyfriend Eric ." Marlene clinches her teeth
What hell is that? I never know that Eric was her best friend boyfriend
"How is that possible? How did you guys know it." I can't believe it
"Her best friend was dauntless and then she left for factionless." Marlene shrugs." She told us the truth."
"Okay. I will ask her ." I nod at them
I can't believe that Abby did that. Abby walks down the stage . She sits down beside me
"What are you guys talking about?" She smiles at us
"Abby did you stole your best friend boyfriend ?" I am nervous
"I didn't. Eric didn't love her already so I accepted him." Abby lowers her head
I shake my head . One more question that I have to ask
"Did they broke up at that time?" I cough.
"Not yet but he will do it." Abby sighs
"That you are third person for real."I am shocked
Abby is sad but I don't want to say anything already.
"Can we still be friends?" Abby holds my hand
"Yes but I need time to overcome this . You never tell me anything like this." I am sad
"I am sorry . That is because I don't want to broke our relationship." Abby hugs me
Jason looks at us for a long time . I decide to shut my mouth.
"James tucker."
James tucker is from dauntless.he stands up and walks to the stage slowly. I know that he is struggling with his choice . Suddenly he falls down and everyone start laughing . Dignity is very important for dauntless and now his dignity are all destroyed because of his friends.
"Are you okay?" I try to help him up.
"I don't need a stiff's help." James tucker pushes my hand away
"So rude." Zeke complains
James tucker rolls his eyes at zeke . He walks on the stage . He takes the knife from Jason. Jason screams maybe his hand was cut opened by him.
James tucker didn't apologize and walks toward the centre of the room. He holds his hand above something. I am sure that isn't dauntless
"Candor."
Jason looks at James tucker . I am shocked as well. A first dauntless transfer. Within ten years , dauntless and abnegation haven't had anyone leave their home base.
"So now it is me and him are the first one to leave abnegation and dauntless." I say
"Yeah , I think so ." Zeke sighs
I hear crying sound . I turn around and see a woman and man are crying. They are James tucker parent.
"They shouldn't be crying." I shake my head." They are dauntless."
"Today they can cry but tomorrow they have to forget everything." Hana explains
Then the ceremony finishes , we have to leave . I really want to see my parent one last time but when I turned around , then I wish that I haven't.
My father looks at me with fire in his eyes. If that can kill someone , maybe he already killed me thousand times already.
"We have to go." Hana nudges me
I start running with other . We leave the room and run toward the stair . I am surprised to see that dauntless are using the stair . Why are they using the stair? Maybe that is because of wildness but that must not be because of selflessness.
"So fun." Marlene screams
Marlene will stay in dauntless and I am sure of it.
"My name is Elizabeth kang and this is my sister Elisa ." Elizabeth smiles at me .
"I am Delia." I nod at her
I love the freedom. We leave the building and everyone leave the space for us . Maybe this is what I want :the priority. I don't need to think about other before myself .
"Quickly." Ted waves at us
We run quicker but Abby was left behind
"Abby I will help you." I want to slow down my pace
"Don't help her , if she needs help, then both of you will be out." Hana says coldly
Ted grabs my arms and force me to run faster . We run toward the train track. Everyone start climbing and I start climbing as well.
"Did ted taught you that?" Hana giggles
"Yeah he taught me how to climb trees." I shrug
"Good job ted ." Hana nudges him
Ted sticks his tongue out. I climb faster and very soon we are all on the platform
"You learn very quickly." Ted nods at me
"Yeah I know but Abby needs help." I am worried about her .
"She doesn't need it." Ted says coldly
Now the train is coming. We all start running. I start running as well. I grab the handle and haul myself into the car . I sit on the floor breathless
"Good job." Shauna gives me a high five
"Yeah she is pretty good."William agrees
William is from Candor so he will not be lying
"So many Candor transfers." I giggle
"Yeah we hate tell the truth all the time plus my parent always admired dauntless." William rolls his eyes .
"Then why your parent didn't choose dauntless!" I ask
William doesn't say a word . Jason looks at me a long time
"His mom and dad fall in love in school but he mother didn't want to leave so his dad chooses to stay for her." Jason shrugs
"How did you know it?" Abby comes up .
"They told me ." Jason sighs
Abby sits down beside me . She is so pale .
"So scary and challenged." Abby breath heavily.
" that's you. Delia never say that." Elizabeth hissed
Then we hear screaming and shouting . I stand up and lean outside of the door.
"They are jumping onto a roof." I scream
They want us to jump again! I am exhausted already .
"We are here ." Shauna says
"Okay." I say
The roof approaches and I start jumping. I landed on my two feet
"Great job." Someone gives me a thumb up
He is standing on the ledge . One footstep back, then he will fall
"My name is Sam . I am one of your lieutenant for dauntless. If you want to become dauntless, here is the way in. If you don't have the gut to jump,then you don't belong here ." Sam smirks." Our initiates always have the privilege to jump first."
"Is there any water at button or something?" William asks
"You will find out or not." Sam laughs coldly." Someone has to go first."
I look around . No one are edger to jump.
"Me." I raise my hand
Sam leaves me his space . I stand on the ledge and look down. It is pitch black
"Oh my god." I shout
"Today initiates ." Sam is annoyed
I can't back down now when everyone are expecting me to fail. I close my eyes and jump.
I am falling fast and finally I hit on a big net.
"That can be considered as first." Someone helps me off the net." Get pushed?"
"No ." I shake my head
"So what's your name ." Max asks .
I don't know what to say. I can change my name but I don't want
"Delia." I say
"Make announcement max." A woman says.
"First jumper Delia."
Everyone start to cheer for me . I stand on the ground
"Ted will be down in a minute . Welcome to dauntless." Max pats me on my back
I stand there and second one is Abby. Max looks at her with fire in his eyes . No that is ambition. He likes her .
"Second jumper Abby."
Until everyone are down, Ted and other woman are down for us
"So dauntless born are with Laurence and transfers stay with me ." Ted claps his hand." Go!"
Dauntless born leaves . Zeke taps my back and I nod at him. Until it is only us left,ted starts to speak .
"My name is Ted . I usually work as a body guard but this year , I volunteer to be your instructor . Anyway come and follow me ." Ted waves at us
We follow ted into the compound . Ted takes us to the water fall
"It is the chasm." I can't control myself.
"How do you know?" Elizabeth is surprised
"I came here for the dance party." I shrug
Ted looks at me for a long time. He then smiles
"Yes it is chasm. Every year there are daredevil who jump off the chasm, there is a clear line between stupid and bravery , it happened before and it will happen again. You have been warned." Ted says coldly.
He again brings us across the bridge . The bridge has no handle but four children just run past it. I want to stop them but I can't .
"Here is the central life of dauntless called pit."
"Clever name ." Elizabeth smiles
We can hear people playing rock climbing and knife throwing. I will stay here and I will become dauntless
Ted brings us to second floor . We are in front of a glass building. He pushes the door opens.
"Before the dinner, we will do something this year ." Ted says
"What are we going to do?" Abby asks
"To know you better, we will see your worst fear ." Ted says
I am wandering what is that? I don't know what I am scared for
"How?" I am wandering
Ted takes out a needle . In the needle there is orange syringe
"The syringe contains transmitters . It transmitted your fears to the computer and we will see it." Ted says
"How about someone have less fears and someone have more ." Jack complains
"It is not about how much you have but it is about how you face it."
