Blue Eyed Man

Chapter 17

Eric's POV

    I watch as the initiates jump into the roof. I haven't seen Tyler yet. I know she would choose Dauntless, but I'm still nervous.

    Finally, all of the initiates are on the roof, except for the one that didn't make it. I can't see them, but I heard a group of them scream and look off of the roof. I can assume that one didn't make it.

    "Listen up!" I yell. Every initiate looks at me. One or two look like they're about to wet themselves. "I'm Eric. I'm one of your leaders. If you want to enter Dauntless this is the way in, and if you don't have the guts to jump, then you don't belong in Dauntless."

    All the initiates look at me like I'm crazy. Their eyes are wide with fear.

    "What do you expect us to jump to our deaths or something?" ask a Candor boy.

    There's a reason you weren't Erudite. C'mon stupid, you really think we're gonna kill you right off the bat?

    I smirk and just shrug my shoulders.

    "Who knows?" I love torturing the transfers. Some of the Dauntless born know about this, but not very many. The ones who don't look like they could faint, but are trying to hide it. "Who's first?"

    I have barely got the words out when the transfers start parting. They're making a way for someone. I can't see them yet.

    Brave kid.

    I'm not surprised by the face I see coming towards me.

    That's my girl.

    Tyler is walking towards me. I offer my hand and pull her up to the wall that I'm standing on. She smiles at me, and the last thing I see before she jumps off is her sweet blue eyes staring into mine.
