The secret divergents

Chapter 5

I feel so free when I'm falling. I don't want it to stop but then I land on a net. A net, of course.

A hand touches me and I jump a little, but then I notice it's just a dauntless instructor. The tall, brown haired dauntless helps me out of the net.

- "I'm Amar. I'll be your initiation instructor."

- "Nice to meet you."

- "What's your name? I want to remember my first jumper."

- "Emily."

He winks at me then announces,

- "Emily, first jumper."

After all the initiates jump, we're split into dauntless-born and transfers.

- "For the initiation process, you'll be split up, but you will be ranked together. There are two stages of initiation training, physical and mental. Your specific instructor will give you more details later, for now I want transfers to go with David and dauntless-born come with me."

I follow Amar and the other dauntless, I see David showing the transfers the dauntless area, the pit, the chasm...

- "So you guys already know the dauntless area so I'm not going to bother giving you a tour." Amar says, looking over at the transfers. - "You can head down to your dorms, settle in then we start a big day of training tomorrow."

I look at the crowd of young dauntless and finally spot Lauren, I haven't seen her since we got here.

- "Lauren!" I shout.

- "Hey Emily!" She shouts back.

- "So, Lucas joined abnegation." Lauren says

- "I know..." I reply, I decide not to tell her about the abnegation result he got.

Everybody is already in the dorms and Amar calls us over.

- "Emily and Lauren! Get over here!"

- "Guess we better go..."

Me and Lauren finally settle into the dauntless dorms, after Amar yelled at us for not following the group...

There are 9 of us in total. Me, Lauren, a few dauntless girls I know and some other people I don't really recognize.

❇❇❇

- "Rise and shine sleepy heads!" Amar yells as he slams open the door.

Everybody groans and hides under their blankets.

- "Everyone up now! If someone isn't at the cafeteria in 5 minutes your all getting expelled from dauntless!" Amar screams.

At that moment people start scrambling to get some clothes on and head down to the cafeteria. It's probably not true, probably just a threat. But I hurry up anyways.

All the dauntless-born make it to breakfast in time, the transfers... Not so much. Most of them arrive 10 minutes late and their hair is messed up and there are bags under their eyes.

- "I guess the transfers aren't used to sleeping underground yet." Lauren points out.

- "Obviously... They look horrible." I reply.

- "Ya, anyways I'm starving! Can we get some food now?" Lauren asks me and is partially looking at Amar, who sits 2 seats away from us.

- "Go ahead." Amar says.

I take a black tray and grab a piece of toast, an egg and a small piece of dauntless cake. They usually don't serve us cake in the morning, but since it's the first day of initiation, they decided it would be a good treat for new initiates.

As I'm devouring my plate, Max, a dauntless leader, stands up and calls for everyone to be quiet. It takes a while, but finally everything is silent except for the occasional whisper.

- "Hello new initiates!" He yells.

Some of the dauntless-born cheer.

- "Today is your first day of initiation! Hopefully I will get to soon see you as a dauntless member."

- "What do you mean 'hopefully' ?" Asks one of the transfers.

- "Oh that's right, you haven't heard the new rules yet." Max responds, smirking.

An explosion of chatter starts, I can hear people saying There are new rules? What does he mean? What if I end up factionless? Oh crap...

- "Everybody quiet down!!" Max yells.

We all turn to him in confusion. Waiting for an answer about these new rules.

- "The new rules are that if your the last one in your ranking or if you don't meet dauntless standards, your out." He continues, with a very stern tone.

This time an even bigger explosion of chatter breaks out and people are complaining and whining and some even crying.

All I can think about is one thing

What if I don't make it? I'm going to end up factionless... I'll never see my family... Or Lucas, or Lauren... Oh no.
