Tris Pedrad

First jumper tris!

        Tris
    
     The sun glistens through the train windows shedding its warmth on me. In dauntless you don't get to feel the sunlight often.

Mostly due to the fact that the compound is under ground. Don't get me wrong I love dauntless, and the fact that I'm free. But sometimes there are prices to pay.

     The trains coming closer to the first stage of initiation, one of the best if I don't say so myself. I glance around the train. The transfers look scared to death. Priceless. While my cool, calm, and collected dauntless look just as happy as ever.

Initiates don't know anything about the dauntless initiation. Only uri, Zeke, and I know, as far as initiates go. Only because our father is one of the leaders. The top of the dauntless food chain, Best of the best.

   We come to the roof top thats part of the dauntless compound where we jump. I push the people out of my way and leap  off the train onto the roof of the passing building. It's times like these I enjoy the most, flying through the air in the baking sun.

    I land on my feet and do a roll. I stand and turn around. Initiates from other factions in the train are yelling frantically. All dauntless at this point have already jumped of the train and have gathered around the dauntless leaders at the edge of the building.

I glance at the train once more and see that everyone has jumped and has made their way over. Even the stiff!

I make my way also to the edge of the building. While my dad gives his boring speech about dauntless. I mostly zone out, only catching a few blurred words. Until I hear my favorite sentence of the day.

"Alright who jumps first",my dad asks. Although he knows it will probably be either me or my brothers.

Me, uri, and Zeke run up to him.

"Me, me, me",we chant in unison.
My dad smiles at us and pretends to think. And then points at me!

"Ha! Pansycakes  I get to go first", I exclaim with my tongue sticking out. I make my way to the edge and see Uriah and Zeke pouting.

I stand on the ledge and peer at the terrified initiates. I smirk evilly and free fall off the ledge. I feel free. Nothing to worry about now. I'm truly and utterly happy. Until I hit the net. My sweet serenity gone, for now at least.

    I climb off the net and wait patiently for the rest of the initiates to take their leap of faith. I look and see Amar walking towards me with his usual smile.

"Why should I be surprised your the first jumper", he says throwing his hands up in disbelief.

"I don't know Amar you should be used to it", I exclaimed rolling my eyes at him. Amar looks at me for a minute then laughs shouting,
"First jumper tris"

My proud smile makes him chuckle again. I stand side by side with him as we watch the initiates drop one by one.
