Candor or Dauntless

Tobias pov

After Six dismissed us for dinner Will elbows me and says "nice going there, Four." He winks at me.

I just scoff at him and turn away blushing. "She scares the hell out of me. It's that quite voice she uses." Will says

"Yeah she's..." I look over my shoulder at her. She is quite and it looks like she is really deep in thought. But I am not afraid of her. I would never be afraid of her"...definitely intimidating " I finally finish

Al, who is in front of us carrying Christina on his back, turns to us as we reach the pit. "I want to get a tattoo."

Christina, looking down at him, asks "a tattoo of what?"

"I don't know." Al laughs. "I just want to feel like I left my old faction, and I'm part of this one."

"I think your right, half in half out right now." Says Christina, as she gives me a look

"I will not Pierce my face, or die my hair a strange colour."

"How about piercing your belly button" Al suggests.

"Or your nipple" Will comments.

I shove Will into the wall as we are walking through the pit. We have the day off now. I don't know what to do know. Will takes my arm and pulls me with him into a store full of cloths. I groan "will why am I in here?"

"You need clothes that will make Six notice you."

I don't really want to do this...but I do want Six to notice me- I want other people to notice me, I am not that nothing boy from Abnegation anymore, I am a Dauntless.

After like 15 minutes-that's all I could handle- I walk out of the store with Will. I bought two pairs of black jeans, and four black shirts. One of them has a dauntless symbol on the front in red. I am actually pretty happy, for my whole life I wore the same grey, baggy clothes for 16 years.

Will and I are walking back to the centre of the pit when we see Al dragging Christina out of a makeup store. Christina is whining that she wasn't done with the mascara, or what ever that is, and Al just looks scarred. We walk over to them laughing so hard I have to hold onto the wall so I don't fall over. Al sees us and gets a relived look on his face. He runs up to us and hugs us "where did you guys gooooo." He fake cry's "never leave me again, with her" he points to Christina like she's the devil and gives us puppy dog eyes.

We agree through laughs and head down to dinner. Christina really needs to get a friend that's a girl.

We walk into the cafeteria and we see Six sitting with Zeke and Shaunna- the dauntless born boys brother and his friends sister.

There's empty seats beside them so we go over and sit beside them. I grab some food from the buffet and start to eat.

Christina immediately hit it off with a girl name Marleen. The other girl Lynn was having a conversation with Al, and Will and Uriah were arm wrestling. Six and I were just watching them. "You seem pretty good at fighting, how is that so?" Six asks me.

"I actually have no idea why I seem so good." I answer.

"If you ever need help with anything I can help you." Six says to me

"Why do you think I would need help'" I answer angrily "is it because I'm from abnegation? Because I'm a stiff?"

"No..I...just wanted... To.." Six answers stuttering.

"What, what do you want?"

"To help" she answers quietly. I feel immediately awful. I take her hand on a impulse and say "I am so sorry" she turns away and runs out I want to follow her, but I never had this problem before. I turn to Zeke and ask him what to do. He goes after her and she comes back in a few minutes later looking a lot calmer. Zeke hugs her and I feel I urge to punch him. I know there friends, but it still feels bad.

"I'm really sorry, I just like to help people, it's in my nature."

"No problem, and well, I'm just used to being defensive" I wonder what she meant by that. I smile and nod and hold her hand for a second longer than I should have,and then all of us, but Zeke, Shunna, and Six. Go back to a abandoned hallway and play Candor or Dauntless. It's a game where someone asks someone if they want to answer a question truthfully or if they want to be dared to do a challenge. Before each truth or dare, the person has to take I sip of alcohol.

Uriah goes first "Marleen, Candor or Dauntless?"

"Dauntless, I ain't no pansycake!"

"All of the transfers playing just stare at her like she's crazy "what does that mean?" Christina asks

"It's dauntless slang for whimp" answers Uriah "okay, now your dare, I dare you too run out into the pit and moon the first person you see." Marleen stands up and runs to the pit. Uriah goes with her.

A few minutes later they both come in laughing.

"Ok Will Candor or Dauntless?"

"I choose Candor." Will states

"Ok , who do you like?"

"Christina" he mumbles. Christina turns bright red but grabs Wills hand.

"Ok Lynn, Candor or Dauntless?"

"I choose..." And the game goes on from there
~~~~~time laps to the last dare~~~~~~

"Ok Four, your the last one, so what's it going to be, Candor or Dauntless?"

"DAUNTLESS!!" I scream kind of tipsy.

"Ok my dear friend, I dare you to get a tattoo."

I accept and we walk down to the tattoo parlour.

I am looking at the tattoos and I see a particular patch of Dauntless flame I like, so choose that and sayi want it on the side of my ribs. The tattoo artist, tori warns me that is the worst spot for a tattoo, but I don't care, my father hit me there, but it did not leave a scar, nothing my father ever did left a scar- so if I get anymore tattoos, it will be everywhere my father has hurt me.

It is late into the night by the time we get to bed, and everyone is drunk. I know that I will be ok here in dauntless if we have nights like this everyday- this will be my life. I will make sure this is my life.
