Convergent

Chapter 4

We run out of the building to the trains, all the dauntless are yelling and being wild. Something I have longed for. We run outside and we wait for the train. Initiation begins now.

"Everyone jump." A dauntless inititate tells us so we know the right way to get on. As the train appears, they start running and they jump with ease. I follow suit, I run and jump reaching for the handrails. I almost miss it until I feel a few hands grab me and pull me up. I stumble inside and land on my knees. I look over at the people who helped me. Two people, one Dauntless boy and one Erudite girl.

"Thank you." I smile at them and look behind me at the window, three people didn't jump, they've become Factionless.

"No problem." The dauntless boy smiles. I look over to him, he has blue eyes, not like Tobias' dark blue, they were the color of the sky on a spring day, he had brown mahogany colored hair. He was very hot if I say so myself, "I'm Connor." He smiles cheekily at me.

"Lizzie." I smile and nod at him.

"I know, you'll be the talk of the all the factions for the next week or two." He tells me. Great, that's all I wanted, to be in the spotlight, I roll my eyes.

"Joy." I rub my face in my hands and look over at the erudite-born, "What's your name?"

"Olivia." She smiles at me, she has tan-ish skin with black hair and brown eyes. She was pretty in her own sort of way.

"Thank you for helping me." I smile. She nods and her eyes widen and looks past me; "what?" I look over at her and I feel a tap on my shoulder.

"Elizabeth." A voice calls my name. I turn around and I come face to face with my brother

"Hello To-"

"Four." He says curtly and pulls me over to a part of the train where we can talk in private.

"Why do you call yourself a number?" I ask, "That's so silly."

"My name to others is Four. Tobias bounds me to Marcus. Only you and Tris call me by my real name.

I nod, understandable. That's why I want to go by Lizzie now in the new faction, "but why the number four? Why not one? Or eight?" I ask

"You'll figure it out soon." He nods and looks around, "Why are you here?"

"'Cause I do whatever I want." I was never good at sarcasm like he was, "What do you think? I chose this faction."

"Did you come here because of me? To be with your big brother who you just love so much." He smirked towards the end.

"Partly, though I should be pissed because you left me with him, but I understand why you left. I left for the same reason." I can't tell him my results. I don't think Tris told him either.

"That's it?" He asks.

"Yes, I've wanted to be dauntless since you transferred. You were always much smarter than me so I thought you know best." I tell him.

He nods but his face gets a hardened look.

"I train transfer initiates." He says, "Everyone will think I'm giving you a free pass to let you become initiated,

But I will make these next two weeks for you, and you alone Hell."

"How kind brother dear, I don't need your help passing, I can get it in my own."

"You don't know what you got ahead of yourself, Lizzie. I also know your capable, But to them I have to show Faction before blood. Sorry. Then he pulls me into a giant hug, one that I've ached for, for years. I start to tear up because I'm just that sappy of a girl

"I missed you Tobias." I say

"I missed you too Lizzie." He kisses my hair the same way he did at his choosing ceremony, the last time I was face to face with him.

"We're here!" Someone shouts.
