Dauntless Male - Linkin Urie
"What if they try to steal from us? What if they attack us in an act of extreme jealousy. What if-" It was that pink haired girl and her blonde friend again. They peered out the window of the rickety train, frowning as a bird flew too close to the window. The blonde one shrieked, falling backwards. She picked herself up, her cheeks a bright shade of pink. Her friend rambled on. "What if-"
"What if I shove you out the door of the train?" I snapped, opening a tired eyelid. I blinked a few times, glaring. The girls looked over at me, staring with wide eyes. Eventually, Pinky scowled before pulling her friend down to a different compartment. I snuggled back into the rock hard chair, shivering slightly. How those two idiotic girls got into Dauntless in the first place, I will never know.
I quickly glanced around the train, watching the different members of the faction interact with each other. A group of boys my age were huddled together, laughing at some joke that a black haired boy had told. I felt a tingle of jealousy, deep down in the pit of my stomach. The only thing I could do was laugh at myself. My life was void of friendship from the minute I was born. Nothing about a new faction could change that.
Before I could sink deeper into my pessimistic thoughts, a mechanical voice rang out of the corners of the train. "Outskirts. Home of the Factionless." Factionless. Still a better fate than Amity. The first time I was on a train, I was forced to jump to a platform. This time, the train stopped completely, allowing the cluster of children to pile out.
"I wonder where the instructor is?" I heard a girl ask but I rolled my eyes, shoving past her. Her dark eyes flashed a hateful glare before it was softened. I walked in long strides away from the train station. "Wait, we have to wait for the-"
I kept walking, going faster than slowing. "You children wait for the teacher." I shouted into the air. "I will be fearless and explore the scary Factionless." I heard a laugh and a gasp, but I kept walking. To be Dauntless meant to go off on your own path. Make your own rules. You don't use a teacher to guide you around a city.
This part of town was covered in filth, with dirt and grime covering the crumbling buildings. Glass shattered the ground from a broken window. The abandoned building was probably home to hundreds of different Factionless members. Where they even members? They were outcasts.
A couple of Candor kids scurried by, their eyes darting around the city. So it wasn't just Dauntless spending a day with the Factionless. It was all the different Factions. A chill ran down my spine.
I kept walking, watching the different homeless people hobble around. "Sir?" One whispered, his voice raspy and deep. "Sir, I need a coat. Please-" I looked at his exposed arms, my fingers touching the zipper. At the last moment, I shook my head.
"Go find one of those Abnegation kids. They have to share." The man whimpered, watching me with watery blue eyes. I pushed the guilt away, hurrying down a long alleyway. I pulled the coat tighter around my body, feeling another chill.
I loud scream rang out through the air and I whipped around to the noise. A low moan came next, and I hurried down the alley. There was a young boy sprawled on the ground, his bright Amity jacket wrapped tightly against his body. An old man stood above him, his hands in a tight fist. He brought his fist down on the boy, who whimpered again.
"Just give me the jacket, kid, and it will be all over." The boy shook his head, his bright red hat popping off his head to reveal blonde hair. The older man frowned, bringing his foot to the boys stomach. "I don't like that answer."
