As far as I know, stage two of training consists of sitting in a dark room for a half hour doing nothing.

No one is talking, so I start to think about yesterday. I know I shouldn't let my self get obsesses, but I can't help it. Someone came asking about me. Someone accused all Abnegation of being abusive selfless freaks, and I can't stop my self from filling with rage as I think about it. Abnegation are amazing people, my father is the only one who isn't.

I also am thinking about Six. She came in the room yesterday looking windswept and beautiful. I wonder what she was doing all day. Maybe she went zip lining with Uriah and the others, I could never do that with my fear of heights and all.

Yesterday I beat the crap out of a punching bag, filled a target with bullet holes, and stabbed a target until it was almost all in shards. I don't think I was supposed to have access to bullets, but apparently Zeke "knows a guy" and Uriah was able to get me bullets for the guns they leave lying around with the daggers.

"So, who's first for you guys?" Peter asks. I'm surprised he has the nerve to speak, after what he did.

"Me," Uriah says proudly.

"I'm second, though," Lynn says quickly.

"I bet I could take both of you," Peter says so cocky, I want to punch him right there. We all snort, even Al, who hasn't shown any emotion in days. "I am first, you know"

"Ya, right, transfer. We have been living here for 16 years, and have way more practice than you." Lynn says, sneering.

"And you are a complete, and total pansycake." Uriah adds, way to confidently for the words he just said. Lynn snorts

"Ok, you and your brother can't bring that word back, no matter what."

Uriah is about to retort, but the door on the other side of the room opens and Six walks out. "Lynn," is all she says. A few other Dauntless borns have followed Six and disappeared behind a heavy metal door, the same way Lynn just did.

We all go silent again, in deep thought about what they might be doing behind that door.

"Well, we know that it is all about emotional preparation. The question is; what are we going to do to get emotional prepared," Will says thoughtfully.

I know someone is going to make a smart ass comment, so I decide to tell him in the nicest way possible, "Will, I think your the only one thinking about that, and your Erudite is showing." He opens his mouth to say something, but decides against it, and closes it again. I, and everyone else watching, laugh. It is so funny seeing a former Erudite, full of words and answers to everything, speechless.

Again, we sink into silence for about 10 minutes or so, then Six comes out again and says, "Peter," he stands up with confidence, but trips over his own feet. He catches him self before face planting, but everyone laughs, even Six cracks a smile. He followers her in the room, watching his feet.

Every minute seeps into me, and no one speaks. It is like being back in Abnegation. Stop that! I think. I can't be comparing things to Abnegation, I can't even be thinking about Abnegation.

The numbers gradually decline, and soon- well, not really soon, more like an hour and a half- there is just Uriah, Drew, and my self. I am getting nervous, but I try to sit perfectly still. If I sit still, I can't let people see how uncomfortable and scared this makes me feel.
