"If you follow me, I'll show you the chasm" four leads on. The group of transfers don't hesitate to follow him. Our surroundings are dark, the corridor lit up by a lamp every 10 metres or so. As they turn a corner a loud crashing sound can be heard, the water hitting rocks, a peaceful sound. Aurora looks in awe, gasping at the sight of the chasm, following to the railing that stood on the very end of a ledge.

Everybody looked around taking the sight in. Aurora turned to four as he began to speak once again. "The chasm reminds us that there is a fine line between bravery and idiocy. A daredevil jump of this ledge will end your life. It has happened before, and it will happen again. You've been warned." Four said stubbornly.

"This is beautiful" Aurora said to Madeleine, her friend looking at her and nodding. Four watched the girl as her eyes lit up at the sight, embracing the aura that was radiating off the girl, before quickly moving on to the next part of the tour.

Next the group was led towards a large whole in a stone wall. Talking and laughter could be heard from where they were, along with the occasional banging of cups on tables. "This is the centre of life here at dauntless, you will grow to love it." Four spoke. After a minute of inspecting the cafeteria, four hurried the group along one last time through another corridor to a pair of double doors. Four quickly pushed them open with a high amount of force. The doors slamming the opposite direction, hitting the walls on the inside of the room.

"This is where you will live for the next few weeks" four said sharply.

A candor boy spoke, "boys or girls?"

"Both" four simply replied. Receiving whispers and snickers from the initiates. Aurora looked around. The place looked sad, singular beds spread out across the room. She noticed that there was only 10 beds, meaning they did not expect as many initiates to make it after that one abnegation girl was left on the platform. "If you like this, your going to love the bathroom" four continued.

Aurora looked around the corner to see a row of toilets that were completely out in the open. Luckily the showers had curtains.

"You should feel right at home candor. Everything out in the open." Four made a smart comment towards Christina. Aurora giggled at the sec fence, receiving a look from Four. "Get changed" four ordered as he turned around to walk out of the dorm.

Aurora quickly found a bunk in the middle of the room, Madeline on the left of her and tris on the right, followed by Christina. Across from her were the two boys Aurora had got to know, Al and Will.

As she looked through the draws next the her bed, she found a pair of black leggings, a grey right tank top, and an oversized black zip up jumper to go over the top, quickly changing in to them before anyone could notice.

"Nice legs flower!" Aurora heard Peter call from the other side of the room. She was quick to roll her eyes and continue to pull her pants up, she knew he wasn't worth wasting her breath on.

Aurora and Madeline made there way towards the cafeteria, feeling the warm embrace as the entered the room. Walking towards a table where Al, Tris, Christina and Will sat. At first Aurora didn't notice Fours presence at the end of the table. But the scolding look she received from the boy as she sat down next to him really fired her up.

Aurora was the type of person to be kind to someone until they crossed her. She was only rude to people who deserved it. And Aurora felt as if Four was one of those people. She gave him a look to indicate that she was going to stand her ground and he quickly looked away from her.

"Hey Aurora" Will said kindly as she looked back towards the group. The warm embrace made four look to the boy, trying to figure out his intentions.

"Hey Will" Aurora replied with a smile on her face, before grabbing a plate and putting some food on it, she stopped when she reached the hamburgers, looking at it funnily.

"It's a hamburger, you have had one before right?" Al asked looking at the girl.

Aurora shook her head, "no, at Amity we used to just eat plants and shit" she said rolling her eyes, before taking a bite into it, her eyes instantly lighting up. "Oh my god, why have I never had one of these before" Aurora said excitingly, earning a laugh from the whole table. Aurora looked around noticing the mysterious boy down the end of the table was once again looking at the girl, the corner of his mouths turned upwards, indicating a hint of a smile.

"Back home we used to" Al began, before being interrupted by Four.

"I don't want to hear about your old factions, your dauntless now." Four says firmly.

"We're you a transfer too?" Tris asked the boy.

"Are you kidding?" Four replies.

"No" tris says quietly.

"What makes you think you can talk to me?" He snaps.

Tris looks to the plate in front of her before mumbling "it must be because your so approachable".

"Like a bed of nails" Aurora adds on, earning a chuckle from the people on the table. Fours just looks at her, no expression on his face.

"Careful Aurora" four days, his voice disturbingly low.

"Or what?" She asked cheekily. The tension dropping when Eric the leader from earlier walks up to four, tapping him on the shoulder, starting a conversation quietly.

"I have a theory" Madeleine began.

"Yeah? What's that?" Aurora asked interested in what her best friend had to say.

"That you, my darling Rory, have a death wish" she finished. Aurora laughed at what she says, also noticing that her best friend had called her by the nickname her family used to use, it made her happy.
