I immediately look over to see my mother in tears trying to hide her sadness.It was the right choice.It's all I can do to keep from crying.The next time I see her and my sister, Marlene I will be Dauntless, or factionless.I don't even relize that the people in the Dauntless are cheering, for me! They do that for every new recruit that choose their faction.I guess I forgot.I sit down in the section assigned for the Dauntless initiates.Im not the only one there.2 boys accompany me. One from Amity and one from Erudite. As I wait a few more people join me all from Erudite or Candor great.I think as Peter, a boy from Candor pours his blood into the Dauntless bowl.I have to be with him.He was always mean and thought he was above everyone. He'll be the best initiate there.He sits down next to me and smirks.
"Nice to see you to."He says noticing my scowl.
"You said you were going to stay in Candor."I say.
"What, a man can't change his mind?" He asks and then the conversation ends, mostly because I'm ignoring him.When they get to the names that begin with P I'm surprised to see a stiff (Abnegation) joining me.She won't last a day.I think to myself.Not many stiffs make it through initiation.I guess the change in lifestyle is to extreme.After everyone has chosen a faction we walk out to the trains and I watch as the Dauntless born initiates climb poles up to the train station so, I follow.I climb up to the top and see the train coming, but not slowing down.Whats going on? Then it hits me, the Dauntless don't wait for the trains they jump on while the trains are still moving.Crap.The train is getting closer.
"What happens if we don't get on the train?"I ask Peter.
"Factionless."Is all he says, it's all he really needs to say.The first train car has passed by me and the other cars are coming at a rapid pace.Here we go.I start running beside it and I can tell that the others are following me.I grab a rail and hoist myself up onto the train.After taking a deep breath I throw myself into the train car.Well, I think to myself that's gonna take some getting used to.I see the stiff girl having trouble getting on the train so I help her up.
"Is it just me or are they trying to kill us?"I ask witch seems to calm her down a bit."I'm Cristina."I tell her.
"Beatrice."she says.
