Dauntless Initiation
by @Azalea_Xx
Having transferred to Dauntless was never your original intention, but a spur of the moment decision had led you to drop your blood upon the coals at the choosing ceremony, jump on and off of a train, and now stand at the edge of a seven story building. An older man, who introduced himself as Max, explained; everyone would jump off and into the large hole in the ground below. The transfers would go first. Everyone looked surprised and shared panicked whispers as Max simply stared, waiting for someone to make the first move. The adrenaline was overwhelming as you watched the one Abnegation transfer- Beatrice, if you recalled properly- jump first. On the distant ground was a large hole, at the bottom of which could be anything. The first girl had jumped, and you watched her plummet into the abyss below. You heard cheering from far below, as a male voice calls out in announcement;
Four: "FIRST JUMPER, TRIS!"
So she made it. It must be safe, if there are people down there and the girl supposedly made it. The fame of first jumper was gone- but hey, second was still available... As you stepped over the edge with a howl of fear and excitement, you dropped quickly into the hole, hitting something hard which warped around your body, cradling you. A net. As your eyes blinked open, a crowd of black leather and piercings surrounded you. You heard a bit of chatter, with one young man observing you and one particular woman looking you over with a smirk
Lauren: "Wow, first two transfer jumpers dropped that fast? Unheard of."
As people peered at you curiously, the same young man held out a hand to you
Four: "What's your name?"
A faint smile settles on his features
Four: "Think about it, you don't get to pick again. This is your one new start."
