"Listen up! My name is Max! I am one of the five leaders of your new faction!" a man shouts from the other end of the roof, he is standing on the ledge with his arms crossed behind his back, pacing back and forth as he speaks, "Below us is the members' entrance to Dauntless, it's several stories high and as an initiate you have the privilege of going first" he smirks, "Any volunteers?" he asks as he stops pacing to eye each initiate.

"You want us to jump off a ledge?" a boy asks, I think it was a transfer judging by the question.

Max looks in the direction where the voice came from, spotting who spoke, he smiles at the boy, "Yes" he answers.

The crowd of people splits into two, leaving the us and the other initiates at the front.

"So who's going to jump first?" Max asks.

We are all silent for a minute but then I logically think that they will not kill us all in our first ten minutes.

I step forward and say that I will jump first. Tobias gapes at me for a second but then stops.

"I bet she will have to get pushed!" One of the Erudite boys says.

I give him my best glare and step up onto the ledge. I take a deep breath and jump.
