I stand on the roof. I make sure the net is there. I lean off and feel the wind burn my bare skin. The impact of the net hurts my ribs, but I ignore it. I jump off the net and wait. I hear the train's horn as it comes closer. All of a sudden, all noise halts. A body comes down through the net.
She has long blonde hair and is wearing a red dress. She plops down with an 'umph'.
I grab her hand and pull her off the net, "Welcome to Dauntless. What's your name?" She pauses and doesn't speak, "Choose carefully. You only get one chance." I add in.
She speaks up, "Jess. My name's Jess."
I say, "Make the announcement Four!" As another body comes crashing down.
Four yells, "First jumper, Jess!" The Dauntless roar. I grab a hand reaching out from the net.It's a boy with short brown hair and tan skin, wearing Candor's signature Black and White.
"Welcome to Dauntless. Name?"
He pushes his chest out, "Alex'' He stands near Jess. I hear a deep yelling as another body comes crashing down.
I grab his hand, "Welcome to Dauntless. Your name is?"
He looks afraid, but recovers quickly, "Dylan" He says timidly.He has light brown hair and he's wearing blue, Erudite. He stands near Jess. A high pitched scream comes from the net.
There's a tall, black haired Abnegation girl reaching for my hand. I grab her hand and pull her out, "Name?"
She blinks a few times, "Cleo," she says quietly. She stands far away from the others with her hands clasped in front of her, typical Abnegation. A body slams face down on the net and I grab his hand.He has dark, short hair and piercing green eyes. "Name?" He nods and says, "Jaden," He's wearing a yellow shirt with red jeans. I point to our small group of initiates and he lines up with them. Another body lands with an 'umph' and reach out my hand and grab her small hand. She thanks me politely.
"Name?" I ask her.
She looks at me and says, "My name's Annaka, but you can call me Anna." I look at her. Another stiff? She's small with short curly brown hair.
"Anna, over there." I point at the other initiates. She waddles over with a limp.
A small girl falls into the net and she's wearing black and white, Candor. I grab her hand and guide her out. "Welcome to Dauntless, name?" I ask. She smiles and says, "Rebekkah but you can call me Bekkah." She politely walks to the others.
