"This has all been a game to you, hasn't it? From the moment I arrived you played this sick game- gosh! I don't even know who you are anymore!" I told him, my voice echoing in the empty semi lit tunnel.
"What do you want from me, Gemma? Huh?Tell me...

We all stand in silence waiting for further instructions. I fumble nervously with the sleeve of my blazer, trying to avoid the blue eyes boring into me. Eric stood at the front, arms crossed over his chest, an unreadable expression on his face. Yeah, I admit, it felt pretty awkward seeing him again. A part of me wanted to march right up to him and give him a piece of my mind, but another part of me just wanted to disappear- melt into a puddle.
Amy took my hand and squeezed it, her eyes looking forward, glaring at Eric. Thankfully, before the awkwardness and tense silence could finally suffocate me, the dauntless guy who helped me off the net spoke.
"Dauntless born go with Zeke, transfers stay with me. Go" he told them.
"Catch you later, Gemma! And Amy!" Lauren and Eli told us as they, along with the rest of the Dauntless borns, followed the guy named Zeke.
"Most of the time I work in intelligence, but during your training I'll be your instructor. My name is Four" He said, avoiding eye contact with me.
A group of three that consisted of two Candors and an Erudite snorted. This caught Fours attention to which he gave them a narrowed look.
"Something you find amusing initiates?" He asked casually but gave them an intimidating look.
"N-No Sir" the group mumbled.
"I thought so. Alright then. Follow me"
Amy pulled me along and we all followed Four, but not before I spared Eric a glance. I felt someone gently nudged my shoulder, making me look up to see Jake. He gave me a smile and I gave him one in return, unaware of the murderous look Eric was giving us.
Four gave us a tour of the compound. We walked through a dimly lit tunnel, the sound of club music echoing in the distance. We come to a stop and I gasp in awe at the place. It was a bigger opening, the walls were of stone and the ceiling was made of glass, letting sunlight stream in. It was amazing.
"This is the Pit. Center of life here at Dauntless. And over there is the Chasm. I'd watch my step if I were you. None of you want to find yourselves falling over the edge. And don't be stupid either" Four told us sending each of us a firm look.
"Would it kill them to put a danger sign?" A guy said next to me.
"It's Dauntless. They like living on the edge" I joke.
"Playing with danger. Got it. I'm Riven" the guy introduced himself.
"Gemma"
"Ah, yes. The first jumper. Eric the leader was left all pissy after you jumped. I think it was pretty awesome actually"
