Chapter Three: Initiation

Becca was the instructors name. Becca and Taylor. I don't know how I didn't notice it before but Taylor's hair was a dark blue color at the bottom. She claps her hands together. "Okay! Dauntless born go with Max and Ryan! Transfers come with me and Becca." I don't know wether to be worried or to be excited. "Let's go Initiates! We don't have all day!" Becca yells. I jump and start walking towards her. They bring us to our rooms. Just a bunch of bunks. Our black clothes are lied out on the bed for us. I fiddle with the black tee shirt and slip it over my head. I change my pants into what looks like sweatpants with pockets for knives in them. After we all get dressed, we have to throw our old clothes in a pit of fire on our way to the cafeteria where there was hamburgers, potatoes and pieces of bread being served. A boy, who I have never seen before, sits across from me. He looks at the food like it was an animal with six heads. "Have you never seen a burger before?" I say quietly with a smile. He looks at me, his skin is olive and his eyes are a deep brown. "No actually." He pauses to laugh. "I'm Zayn. Abnegation." "CJ. Candor." We exchange smiles and Liam plops himself next to me. "Payne." I say. "CJ. Who is this?" Zayn introduces himself. I see Harry and gesture him over to me. He give me a smile and walks over to Zayn's right side.

"Harry!" A blond boy says. "Niall! Louis!" The boy Niall walks over and plops next to Harry and Louis sits next to me. After we all exchange our welcomes people start banging on tables. It got louder and louder until a dark skinned man appeared. It was like he was part of the darkness and it materialized him. "Initiates! Rise." And we do. "Now you have joined the bravest faction of them all. Dauntless. Make us proud." And the Dauntless roar. One of them pick Liam and I up. We start flowing to different hands. Unfamiliar hands. I don't care. I love this. This moment is euphoric.

*The Morning After*

"Let's go everyone! Trainin' time." Taylor bangs one metal bat against another and it wakes me up immediately. I was the first one to get out of my bunk and get ready for the day. I wait for Liam to get ready and we walk to the pit together. As we wait for the others Liam breaks the silence. "do you think they wi-" I stop him. "Are you crazy? We are not talking about this now. Later. " and he stops talking. By the time all of the others are down Becca and Taylor are speaking about what we're about to do. "Two stages of training. Physical and Mental. You will push yourselves to beyond your breaking point and learn how to control yourselves." Taylor announces. The first thing I do is look to Liam. He looked stressed almost. "Let's go!" Taylor catches my attention by suddenly yelling. We make our way over to the empty area with only punching bags and parts of the grounds are risen for fighting purposes.

I look to Liam. We walk over to two punching bags. "You know they're going to make us fight right?" I break the silence. "Yes I know. I won't go too hard on you." He teases. "I think I'll be the one going soft on you Payne." He scoffs but I know he's just teasing me. "First Jumper!" There's my cue. "Last Jumper." I see the boy, Zayn, come up to the ring. "Go ahead." Becca tells us. I go for the first punch. It lands on his right cheek and he spins to the floor. I want to help him up but I know they won't let me. I kick him until I can tell he's not conscious.

"Good job CJ." Becca tells me. I nod and walk off. As they bring Zayn to the infirmary I see Liam stand up to the ring. He is going against a boy that's almost as big as him. Becca tells them to go. The first punch comes from the other boy. It causes Liam to fall to the ground. "No." I whisper. He stands up quickly and doges the boys punch. Liam sends one right to his throat and another to his nose. It sends the boy to the ground in a split second. The boy doesn't get up. "Liam! Good job!" Taylor gives him a high five. Becca smiles. "Everyone. You have all made it through the first day of Initation!" Becca says. We all clap vigorously. "You are all free to go." We all turn and walk towards our rooms. "Hey CJ! C'mon! We're gonna go get tattoos!" Niall calls out. "Hold on. I want to go check on Zayn. Meet you there?" I say. Liam nods and I make my way over to the infirmary. When I walk in I see Zayn immediately. He sees me too and almost cowers into the bed. "Hey. I'm sorry about knocking you out there. I was just following orders." He then smiles and sits up. "Thank you. I mean. No one has ever actually checked to see if I was okay." He says. "Are we okay?" I ask him. "Yeah. Yeah we're okay." We shake hands. He gets up from the bed. "C'mon" I say to him "we're gonna get tattoos." He nods and tags along.

We all get to the tattoo parlor around the same time. I look at all the designs. They're all so amazingly beautiful. Then I see a familiar face. Tori. She was the one that let me go after the discovery of my divergence. We make eye contact with each other and she walks away with a look of disappointment on her face. I follow her. "Hi." I say. "You made a mistake. If they find out who you really are, they will not hesitate to kill you." I take a moment to process the words that just emerged from Tori's mouth. "They who?" I say quietly. "Dauntless Leadership. Now if you will excuse me, I must get back to work." I walk away for a second. I bring a design of the Dauntless faction symbol seconds later. A fire contained in a circle. "What am I Tori?" I ask as she puts the pack of ink on my right shoulder. "Dangerous. The Dauntless don't accept people like you because they want to control you and they can't. You can't trust anyone but yourself." She pats the ink packet and tells me I'm done. I look in the mirror. I don't look at my face because I'm too intrigued by the tattoo. "Thank you." She nods and reminds me "No one but yourself."

I meet the boys outside and see that Liam has a tattoo on his left arm with four little arrows pointing in one direction. "What's that?" I ask him. "I'm going in one direction CJ. That's up." He tells me. When we decide to go back to the barracks the rest of the guys run ahead and Liam and I stay behind. "Liam. We can't trust anyone but ourselves." He breathes and looks at me. His chocolate brown eyes are staring right into my deep blue ones. "Maybe you're the only one I want to trust." Me moves closer to me. "Maybe, CJ Parthenon, you're the only one I can trust." Liam cups my chin and kisses me right on my lips.
