The Initiate

Part 15

Unedited

Today is the day.

I'm going through my fear landscapes.

Bang bang bang.

All I hear is metal colliding with metal which rudely wakes me up from my deep slumber. I look over and see lauren with a smug smirk on her face.

"Get up and be in the pit in 20 minutes. It's fear landscapes."

We all let out a group of groans which makes lauren laugh. I physically drag myself out of bed until I land on the floor with a massive thump. I roll over and pick up my outfit for the day which consists of black leggings and a black muscle tee. I put my hair in a bun before heading to the cafeteria. I pick up a banana, a bottle of water and a slice of toast before going to the pit.

Lauren four and Eric are just sitting on the rocks talking. I decide to go over to them since none of the other initiates are here. I take a seat next to lauren. She automatically turns around and takes a bite of my toast which causes four and Eric to laugh whilst I pout.

"That was my toast."

"And I was hungry."

"The cafeteria is right there." I exclaim.

"But you're right here." We all start to laugh until the transfers walk in and they
go back to their stone cold features.

I see Jacob James Shawn and Ashton walk in so I make my way over to them jumping on Shawns back making him stumble.

"What up boys." I shout.

"How can you be so hyper in the morning." James exclaims

"well I might aswell be happy now because I won't be happy when I come out of my landscape."

"Initiates gather round." Eric's voice booms throughout the pit. I slide off of Shawns back and go over to where the trainers are.

"We're going up to the fear landscape room. You will wait in the room until your name is called. You will walk in to the room and lie on the chair. We have a volunteer this year that will inject you with the serum. Everyone will be able to see your reaction. The leaders, trainers and some people from erudite will be able to see your fears and how you cope with them. This will help define your final ranking so work hard. Let's go." Eric takes off towards the stairs. Dauntless borns following eagerly behind him and the transfers a bit behind. We go up to the very top floor which is a lot of stairs but being in dauntless in all my life has given me an advantage. He pushes through a door which leads us into a massive auditorium. In the centre sits a recliner chair. On one of the wall sits a digital clock and what seems to be a digital board that will count our fears. About five meters away against the opposite wall is 10 seats. 7 being occupied by 4 of the dauntless leaders. 2 very formal people from erudite and the one and only Jeanine Matthews. Four and lauren go over taking their seats.

"You will be sitting behind that glass window until you are called." Eric explains. He also leaves and takes his seat.

We all file in to the room 5 dauntless borns and 8 transfers. There's not a lot of us this year.

Tori from the tattoo parlour walks in.

"We'll be doing dauntless borns first. It will go in order of your surname so the first one is I so Ashton your up." She explains before walking out of the door. We all stand up as the boys give him a pat on the back but I give him a hug. He walks out of the door following closely behind tori.

We all go over to the window and watch our friend. As he takes a seat tori injects him with the serum before going to the corner where she will observe us.

-skip Ashton's fear landscape-

Ashton set the bar high in his first attempt. Only 9 fears in a time of 45 minutes. He walks out of the door we came earlier as tori comes into the room.

"James McV. You're up." She mentions. The boys give him claps on the back and I once again give another hug. He confidently strides in to the room and takes a seat. Tori walks over and plunges the needle in his neck. Soon enough he's in his fear landscape.

-skip James fear landscape-

James done good but not great 8 fears in 51 mins. He drags himself off of the chair and out of the room.

Tori walks back in. "Shawn M. It's your turn." He turns around and mock salutes which leaves us all in a fit of laughs. I still go up and give him a hug. He marches like a soldier out to his seat. I rush towards the window and watch as he gets comfortable in his seat. Tori comes over and pierces his neck with the needle. She pushes down the plunger before he goes under and in to his simulation.

-skip Shawns fear landscapes-

Shawn did well. He had 8 fears in 40 mins. He stands up, looks up at the sign and a small smile rests on his lips. He walks out of the room as Tori comes in.

"Ari P. Your up." Before she walks out. I turn to Jacob and he gives me a hug. "Go kick fears butt and show them what you're made of."

"Thanks Jacob. You're definitely my best friend." I smile and walk out the door.

Here goes nothing, well except my future.

Yooooooo what's up. Bit of an authors note. I know these can be boring but I would really like some feedback. Good or bad I don't mind.
Also I want to know if you ship her with anyone 💗💗
