The Initiation part 1

Then next day:

"Everyone in the pit 2 minutes." I hear four say. After we all get dressed and ready we head to the pit.

"There are two states of training first is physical, push your bodies to the breaking point. Second is mental, again breaking point facing your biggest fears unless they get you first? You and the dauntless born will be ranked together. After they will determine what jobs you get. Leadership, guarding fence, or keeping the factionless from killing each other." Four says and Erick jumps in. "This will also determine who gets cut." "What?!" Christina says shocked. "Yep, the new rules say if you get below the red line after the 10 weeks, you are cut and become factionless." Erick says and we all are surprised. "Why didn't we know this?" Will asks. "It's now the rules." Erick says. After that we start training. As we get to the shooting range I get nervous cause Tris isn't doing so well and as we are walking we pass the factionless and of course stupid Peter has to talk. "Look stiff your new Family." Peter says to Tris so I flick the back of his head and he whines. After we start boxing about half an hour in Erick yells for The first jumper and the last jumper in the ring so I slowly step up to the ring and so does Molly. "How long do we fight for?" Molly asks as we both look at Erick. "Until one of you can't anymore." Erick says. "Or until someone concedes." Four adds on So Erick being himself, jumps back in. "According to the old rules, new rules no one concedes." Erick says. "What are you waiting for? Go" Erick tells us. Me and Molly circle around the ring with our guards up until Molly throws but misses the first punch I got to throw a swing until she locks my head and kicks me in the jaws putting me on the ground and I tap out from getting knocked out. I look on the score board and I see me and Tris in the red zone so after that we get a break for the rest of the day. "I feel bad and this is getting Depressing...let's get Tattoos." Christina says. As we all walk into the tattoo place we walk up to the wall of tattoos. I watch as Tris get a tattoo of three birds and I pick out three symbols to remember where my family really is. Erudite, Abnegation, and Dauntless. After we all got our tattoos we all go to sleep but I wake up at 4 in the morning and start training.
