"Am I so terrible that you won't even look at me?"
Eric then stared at Venus and he inhaled deeply as he cupped her warm face with his hands, closing his eyes knowing what he had to do next. He leaned his forehead onto hers and took in a breath of...

As Venus watched the sky above her, her heart began to beat normally and she let out a sigh of content when her body bounced back up on the net. She landed again and the net slightly shook as her body rested on it, the feeling felt familiar for some odd reason.
Before she could enjoy the moment a bit longer, the net gets pulled down and she sat up crawling towards the end being pulled where a man with kind eyes was waiting.
"That's a first." He pointed when he looked into her eyes and confusingly blinked, he helped her jump down by holding the bottom of her underarms and set her down like a toddler. "What's your name?" He questioned, she inhaled and swallowed.
"My name is Venus." She answered with a smile. She could see him fight a smile off his face and he glanced around. "First jumper, Venus!" He announced. "Welcome to Dauntless, Venus." He welcomed and repeated her name, she nodded and he gestured to stand to the side, so she did what she was told.
After everyone had landed, Beatrice surprisingly jumped after her and her name being changed to just Tris.
Will and Al stood on each of her sides like guards, and she could not help but feel excited for this new chapter in her life.
Her mind then wondered to her older brother, probably around the same age as the boy who helped her get down and Eric the leader, and Zeke. She knew she couldn't go on wild goose chase for him, but wondered if he was happy or doing okay.
"Dauntless born you go with Lauren, transfers stay with me. Go." The man ordered.
They did not hesitate on his orders and quickly followed the girl with bright red hair and tattoos. "Most of the time I work in intelligence, but during your training I'll be your instructor." He began and looked at all of them.
"My name's Four." He introduced himself.
"Four...Like the number?" Christina questioned sarcastically, the Candor in her peeking through. "Exactly like the number." Four answered. The number must've have a great significance for him to call himself that and Venus was curious. "What happened? One two three were taken?" She asked in a joking manner, Venus awkwardly shifted on her feet and he faked a smile then walked up to her.
His height towering over her like a child.
"What's your name?" He asked her and she looked up at him. "Christina." She answered with a smirk. Four took a step closer to her and his mood quickly switched to a serious one. "Well, Christina...The first lesson you learn from me, if you wanna survive here, is keep your mouth shut." He said without a smile. "Do you understand me?" He questioned as his eyes stared into hers.
"Yes." She answered quietly. "Good."
Four then turned on his feet and began to walk, so they followed him like a group of baby ducks following its mom.
