“They’re jumping”, Christian says behind me.
“I HATE heights, why does it have to be so high”, I ask.
“It’s to test our bravery come on we can jump together”.
We move to the opposite side of the car with Cayla joining us. I take Christians hand and let him pull me with him as we run full speed to the door. I close my eyes as I push myself from the train. I feel completely weightless for about 2 seconds before I slam into a gravel covered roof. Landing on my side I roll right onto my back opening my eyes I stare at the sky laughing until Christian’s face blocks my view.
He holds his hand down to help me up, “Let’s go”. Grabbing his hand and letting him pull me up we gather with the other initiates.
A man probably in his early thirties steps up onto a ledge. “My name is Max and I’m one of the Leaders of Dauntless. This is the point of no return you either jump and join us or you can stay behind and move forward factionless. The choice is yours. Now who is gonna jump first”?
Christian and I look at each other sideways and wait for who will go first. After Kristopher and my father warning me not to jump first I know we’ll wait. A Dauntless born steps forward after a few minutes and Max steps out of his way; we watch as he steps to the ledge and looks down before looking back at us. I can see the fear in his eyes right before he jumps. I can hear his yells for a few seconds before it goes quiet.
After two more initiates jump I step forward.
“An amity, I don’t think we’ve ever gotten a transfer from there before”, a younger man comments from just behind Max. I look at him for a moment. He’s tall maybe just a bit shorter than Christian but he can’t be much older than us. Blond hair cut short and grey eyes that stare right back at me. He has his eyebrow pierced as well as the left side of his lip. He’s wearing a black jacket and black pants but I can still see the muscles pushing against the fabric. He seems pale but as I look him over I realize the black box shaped tattoos on either side of his neck just make him seem pale. A slight shiver slides down my spine as I look back into his eyes. Dangerous is all that came to mind, well gorgeous came as well but I’ll just ignore that.
“We didn’t like the bread anymore”, I say as I step to the edge and without looking down I jump.
I close my eyes as I start to fall, if I had looked down I never would have jumped. I open my mouth but no sound comes out. After a few more seconds I feel my back connect with something that gives and wraps around me. I open my eyes when I stop bouncing to realize it’s a net. My head snaps to the side when I notice movement out of the corner of my eye. It’s a man reaching up to help me down.
When I’m back on my own two feet I look up at the man who helped me from the net. He has dark skin and quite a few tattoos and piercings that I can tell.
“Name”, he asks.
I think for a moment before responding with, “Ana”.
“Fourth jumper, Ana,” he calls out to those standing to the side and they cheer. I move to the side when the cheering calms down and watch as Christian falls to the net just after me.
He doesn’t change his name. As we wait I start to wonder where Alexander is I didn’t pay attention to see if he was on the roof. Not that I care mind you but while I don’t want to be in the same faction as him I don’t wish being factionless on anyone.
I lean toward Christian and ask, “Was Alexander on the roof”?
I watch as Christian scrunches his eyebrows together as he thinks. Before he can answer the next jumper comes down and I recognize Cayla. As she comes out of the net I realize I wasn’t paying much attention when the man helping everyone shouts, “Fourteenth jumper, Cayla”.
Cayla joins us and I’m about to ask if Alexander was with her when the next jumper hits the net and I know its Alexander.
Once the last jumper comes down; a boy from Candor named Heath, we are finally introduced to the man who was helping us out of the net.
“My name is Amar and I’ll be the transfer instructor during Initiation. This is Four he’ll be training to become an instructor”, he waves his hand towards a man standing just behind him to the left. “Dauntless-born will go with Maci for their training”, then waits as they gather behind a very blond very tall woman and head out. “Follow me”.
After a few minutes we stop, “This is The Chasm”, I glance over the railing to see water like an underground spring. Though it is not calm like one would think it’s rushing through and I feel a slight spray from the water on my face when it hits the wall. “Be careful in here if you go down you aren’t coming back up alive”.
He continues on until we come to a large opening like a cave and stops again. “This is The Pit and we’ll be spending a lot of time here during your training. It is usually a gathering place once training has ended”. He points up where I can see some walkways and openings in the side of the walls, “Those are the shops you’ll get your points in about a week and they can be used to purchase anything you want. When you finish initiation the points are given out based on the position you choose. Let’s continue it’s almost time for dinner and one more stop”.
When we stop again it’s in front of a set of double doors, “These are your rooms for the rest of your training”, with that he opened the door into a dorm style room with eight beds and some dressers. Across the room I notice an archway and I can see sinks through it. “Pick a bed and get changed dinner is in twenty minutes. I’ll be back in ten minutes to show you where it is”, then headed back the way we came.
Walking into the room I went to the first bed by the door with Christian right behind me grabbing the bed next to mine. I look in the dresser and find some clothes; black t-shirts, tank tops, and workout pants, all in different sizes. Looking around I notice some black tennis shoes by the door and head over to grab a pair for myself and Christian so we get the right size before everyone else sees them.
Walking back to bed I set the shoes down right as Christian grabs me as I’m bent over and starts laughing as he lifts me into a hug.
“We are here”.
I can’t help but laugh with him. Once he has set me back on the ground we change I grab a tank top and some pants. While I’m putting on my shoes Cayla sits on my bed and hands me a black jacket.
“Thanks”, I tell her throwing it on as I stand ready to go.
Amar steps back into the room, “Grab your old faction’s clothes and follow me”.
After a couple minutes of walking I notice an orange glow on the walls. As we get closer I realize it must be a fire. When we stop we’re standing by a very large circular fireplace.
“This is our symbol for leaving your old factions behind. Burning your old clothes and accepting your place in Dauntless initiation. Toss your clothes in and then we can head to dinner”.
One by one each of us placed our clothes into the fire. I did feel a little sad it was kind of like a final goodbye. Once everyone had placed their clothes into the fire we went to dinner.
Walking into the cafeteria the first thing I notice was how loud it was and crowded, more so than I originally thought it would be. I hate crowds and pressed closer to Christian’s back as we looked for a table. We found a table fairly quickly and sat between Christian and Cayla with Alexander across from me. A few of the other transfers joined us as well.
I could feel it as I started to draw into myself right before I felt Christian elbow in my side.
“Stop that I’m here and everything is fine”, he whispered in my ear.
“There’s so many more people here than I ever expected and it’s so loud”, I muttered back as he put his arm around my shoulder.
“I’m here and we’ll really only see all of them during mea..”,
“Problems already”, I lifted my head from Christian’s shoulder and looked into dark grey eyes. I shivered as I watched those eyes move across my face and down before moving back up; a slight smirk gracing those pierced lips.
Oh my. I tried to open my mouth but it just was not cooperating with me.
“I asked you a question and I expect an answer initiate”, he stated again a slight growl to the words and my eyes closed. I knew Kristopher had an amazing voice but his voice melted over me. Definitely a problem.
“No problems here”, Christian answered for me.
He cocked his head to the side and his eyes moved away from me to Christian. I noticed his eyes sharpen and felt Christian’s arm tighten on my shoulder. Pretty sure I missed something there.
“I don’t believe I was speaking to you”, and looked back at me.
I dropped my eyes to the table while trying to fight the heat rising in my face, “No problems”.
“Good, we don’t need drop outs so early in initiation”, I heard more than saw him actually go.
Christian’s arm tightened on my shoulders once again before he let me go to grab some food.
“What did I miss there”?
Christian smiled as he put a hamburger on my plate, “When”?
I narrowed my eyes at him, “You know when”.
I heard Cayla laughing beside me, “How could you have missed that especially after the look he gave you right before you jumped earlier”?
“What look”?
Cayla didn’t get to respond because suddenly the Dauntless began to cheer and we watched as Max stepped out on platform above the cafeteria.
“Welcome to Dauntless everyone, new and old. Today begins our initiate’s new life in Dauntless. We are excited to welcome you your new faction. Tomorrow they start training but tonight, tonight we celebrate”.
As soon as he finished speaking everyone started cheering and jumping up. Before I had really processed what was happening I was being picked up and being passed around along with the other initiates. I tried to relax but that was not working. I sighed as soon as I was put back down and found Christian immediately.
He was all smiles but when he looked at me he stopped and rushed over, “Let’s go back to the room”.
I nod as he puts his hand on my side to help guide me from the room. As we duck out neither of us notice the grey eyes following our path out the door.
**Sorry it’s been such a long wait. I’m changing jobs this week so hopefully I’ll have some more time to post more.
