The new Dauntless initiates were walking toward the stairs as we passed the Stiffs. I could see the Stiff who joined Dauntless look at the group as we pass and snort. I try to suppress rolling my eyes at Marge as she glares at me. We get to the stairs and I walk to the front with Max before we start running up them and everyone hoots and hollers. I listen to the pounding of feet and think of what Max was talking to me about on the train ride here. He said that Erudite sent the plans for the attack and are making the final touches to the serum. I cant wait till after the new initiates who survive become members and our plan goes into action. We run out into the cold air that whips across my face as we continue to run through other faction groups heading to the tracks. I hear the sweet sound of the arriving train and see the Dauntless start to jump on it. I am near the Stiff and an Erudite boy who mumbles "Are we supposed to hop on that thing?" I roll my eyes and think of how tempting it is to see if he makes it to the fights and gets beat up. "Yes." the Stiff replies. I doubt she will even making it on to the train but as i jump into the car as it passes me i am surprised that she jumps in behind me. Even if she is dangling by the handle bar, sadly i am disappointed that a Candor girl helps her in. I turn my attention to out of the window where a red haired Erudite boy falls to his knees as he failed to make it onto the train. The first failure is from my ex-faction, pathetic. The new factionless boy puts his head in his hands as the last f the train speed away and he leaves my view.
I laugh at the yells behind me as i get ready to jump. "They're jumping off!" someone yelled behind me right as i jump of do a double roll to my feet. The gravel from the rooftop clings to me and i brush it off as I go stand beside Max next to the hole. I watch as people jump out and land dangerously close to the edge and notice the Stiff and another transfer from Candor standing up from the roof and brush off the gravel. I hear a wail and look to see who it is. Its Rita, Dauntless-born looking over the edge. I count the initiates and notice that we are missing more than usual, we started with twelve and now all we have is nine, great. I hear someone making fun of the Stiff and look. The Stiff has her sleeve pulled up and an Candor boy said "Ooh. Scandalous! A Stiff's showing some skin!" Huh he might grow on me, he reminds me of well, me when i would try and make fun of Four when we were initiates. "Listen up! My name is Max. I am one of the leaders of your new faction!" Max says. I notice the creases in his dark skin and how he has more gray hair than i remember. "Several stories below us is the members' entrance to our compound. If you cant muster the will to jump off, you don't belong here." Or i can push you off. "Our initiate have the privilege to go first." He finishes. "You want us to jump off a ledge?" A Erudite girl says, she has mousy-hair. She looks familiar,though.He says looking amused. I don't blame him. "Is there water at the bottom or something?" She asks. Really, if we wanted to just kill all the new initiates we could, easily. I am seeing why she didn't choose to stay in Erudite, not very smart. "Who knows?" Max says raising an eyebrow as I huff, annoyed. The Stiff starts to walk toward the entrance to my surprise. Max steps aside as she nears it and she takes off her sweater and throws it at the Candor boy, Peter. I hear catcalls and I laugh as people shout to get a room. Then, she falls. "I cant believe it." I hear Lauren's voice echo to the top of the hole "A Stiff, the first to jump? Unheard of!" Then i turn back to the initiates right as the Candor girl that was with the Stiff walk up and jump. I hear laughs as she screams on her way down.
I wait until the last initiate jump off then wait till its my turn to jump. As i feel the air rush beneath me I lay with my legs crossed and my arms behind my head like i am on a lounge chair as i prepare for the feel of the net hit me. By the time I get off the net more than half of the Dauntless that are usually here are gone, probably gone to the dining hall.
