The Dauntless Fire (OC/Eric)

Chapter 1

"Emily Archer" Marcus says my name with a deep, raspy voice.

I stand up out of my chair and kiss my mum good bye, i walk over in my dark blue dress that flows around my calves and start to head down the stairs. My stomach starts to tense up and feels like butterfly's are fluttering around in my stomach, my palms are sweaty and I try to wipe the sweat off onto my dress. I'm so nervous. I finally make it down to the front and there are five bowls, Dauntless, Erudite, Amity, Abnegation and Candor. I grab the knife from the table and cut my hand, there is a stinging pain in the cut and blood pools from my hand. I hesitate but go straight to the bowl with the burning coals in it; Dauntless. I drop the blood from my hand into the hot coal and blood makes a sizzling sound.

"Dauntless" Marcus yells.
People shout and yell and I know it's the dauntless members. i walk to the front of the dauntless section and i swap out with a dauntless member and i sit at the front row.

I wait awhile until everyone has chosen since i was near at the start, then the dauntless members start to get up and I follow, we walk out to the choosing ceremony hall and we start running, we start to climb up poles and we get to a railway and then I see that theres a train coming in at full speed and everyone starts running and so do I. I jump and grab onto the handle on the train and I step onto the train. I plonk myself next to a Candor girl.

She turns to me and says "hi, I'm Isabelle"

I say "hi, I'm Emily"

She smiles so I smile back at her.

Someone yells out "their jumping", and everyone goes to the door and people dressed in black are jumping off the train onto a roof.

Isabelle says "want to jump together" I nod a reply and we jump onto the building and start laughing like 5 year olds.

We walk over to the other people standing next to a ledge. A dark man and a man with a tattoo on his neck and a piercing on top of his eyebrow.

The dark man says "hello I'm Max and this here is Eric" he point to the man next to him.

Then Eric says "to get into dauntless you have to jump, if you don't, you don't belong here". He pauses and says "who's going first"

I look at Isabelle and she is smiling. Then out of nowhere I say "I'll go first". Isabelle gives me a weird look.

I walk up to the ledge and Eric nods at me and I step off and fall...Wind flows through my hair as i fall down, i don't scream, i just enjoy the sun on my face and the wind in my hair.

I land on a net, a net then a tanned man helps me off the net and he say "welcome", I get off and he says "what's your name?"

I reply "Emily" ne nods and then a see someone, someone I know... my sister. She looks at me and smiles and looks so excited.

he then shouts out "first jumper Emily!"

I wait until everyone has jumped and the man says "Hello and welcome to dauntless, I'm Four and I will be training you in initiation" he pauses and says "dauntless born go with Lauren I'm sure you don't need a tour, transfers stay with me"

He takes us to a place called the pit it's huge, its where everything happens. He also takes us to where we eat and where we are going to sleep for initiation. Where we sleep its both boys and girls and the bathroom too and the showers have no doors. Well this is going to suck ugh. Then Four says "get changed and bring your old faction clothes with you and then come with me, I'll be waiting outside".

I get changed into a black shirt and pants and some combat boots, I start walking to the door with my blue dress in my hands from Erudite.

Isabelle runs up to me and say "hey, don't you think Dauntless is awesome" I nod with a smile on my face.

We get to Four and he says "follow me"

We walk through dark hallways until we get to a big large box thing and inside is a fire that has clothes in, everyone is in single file and Isabelle is in front of me, the people in front of me starts to throw their clothes in, then Isabelle does then I do.

We go back through the hall ways and into the accommodation.

Four says "get some food and some rest training starts in the morning"

Isabelle comes up to me and says "hey lets go and get some food, I am so hungry" she starts to rub her stomach.

I reply "so am I, lets go"

We walk over to the cafeteria and sit down at a table and I see my sister I go and sit next to her and say "hey, Octavia", she looks at me and smiles and gives me a huge hug. She says "why'd you choose Dauntless?"

I reply "that was my test results".

She smiles and hugs me again. I look over and next to her is Four. He is eating a hamburger. Then a man in front of us on the table say "hey I'm Zeke and this is my little bro Uriah, he chooses next year" he smiles.

The girl next to Zeke has a shaved head, but I don't mind she says "hi I'm Lynn".

I say "Hello, I'm Emily", Isabelle introduces herself as well

I look at a hamburger in front of me and a grab it and say "I haven't had one of these in ages". I take a huge bite out of it. Zeke looks at me and say "that girl can eat". He laughs and so does everyone else, I just smile.

After Isabelle and I finish eating we start to head back to the accommodation and Isabelle says "I love dauntless already". I reply "same, I can't wait until training tomorrow"

I lie on the bottom of a bunk bed and Isabelle was on the top and before I knew it, I was asleep.
