Following Tris

Chapter 5

Sky's POV

We sprint towards the train, my muscles trembling as I try to sprint to the front. Dahlia is cussing as she tries to keep up with me. Jace grits his teeth, and I skid to a stop when I see what the dauntless are doing. They are jumping into the train. No no no no. I can NOT do that. I force myself to anyways, sprinting, then flying into the train, and tumbling into a group of dauntless who shove me off them, and As I situate myself, Dahlia and Jace struggle to get. Dahlia makes a running jump, but Jace's body is too stocky for him to squeeze in the small space between the wall, and he falls behind. I stretch my hand out for him to grab it, and he falls behind. "Stop!" Dahlia screams, and a dauntless sneers, and growls, "Sit down, stiff." I narrow my eyes, and lunge towards him, my hands finding his neck, and gripping it. "what is going to happen to him?" I ask, icily calm. "Factionless." He chokes out. I let go of his neck, and almost wilt back into my seat next to Dahlia. Her eyes well up with tears. I press my mouth to her ear. "No. Not here, not now. You are dauntless, Dahlia." She straightens up, and gives me a curt nod, wiping her gray eyes. A dauntless looks at me, opens her mouth, but i almost scream, "Not a word." I look out the window, Jace's face lingering in my mind. His brown eyes, black hair... My best friend. A roof comes into sight, and someone lets out an excited whoop, and jump out the door. "Dahlia!" I yell, and grab her arm so we don't get let behind. I land hard on the roof, the impact shooting spikes of pain up my legs. After everyone lands on the roof (with a few who don't make it...), The woman i recognize that was the one with my aptitude test results, claps her hands, and says, almost shouting, "Okay, welcome to dauntless!" After the roar of the crowd dies down, she starts to talk again. "We will be jumping... Off here." I look down, only to see blackness. "Um... What's below it?" A timid voice from the back asks. "You chose dauntless, right? You'll find out. Who's jumping first?" My stomach twists, and everyone looks down at their shoes. "Me." I say loudly, forcefully. "Go ahead." She says, and everyone parts so there is a clear path. What if this is a prank? What if i'm the sacrificial lamb to prove a point? I walk slowly to the edge of the building, collect myself, and jump, spreading my arms wide. The world is a blur of colors, and i let out an airy laugh, because, honestly- I feel great. It's amazing, seeing the view. Then I see my landing- A net.

Tobias's POV

A girl comes into view above me, as I grip my clip board as tightly as I can, and the thought of the girl on the bus lingers in my mind. She was pretty, and reminded me of dauntless- a true leader. I still can't shake the thought. The girl hits the net, interrupting my thoughts. Her body springs up, and i lower the net, her eyes meeting mine. I almost pee myself. It's the girl from the bus. "Hi." She says, smiling. "Um hey." I say, scratching my neck. I can't believe it! Dauntless? "First name? And i suggest picking a good one because you only choose once." She looks up at the ceiling, thinking, until brushing her long brown hair out of her face, and saying, "Sky." I nod. Short for Skylar, probably. "Last name?" She looks at me, piercing me with her eyes, and says, "Prior." My eyes widen. "Any relation to Tris Prior?" She nods, slowly. "My older sister." Tris... Then she gets off the net, and I leave Zeke to help because I need to get some fresh air- now.

The pic is obviously of Tobias :D
