We walk into the training room, as usual, but this time the room is empty. No knives, guns, and other fighting equipment are on the tables.

"Good Morning Initiates," Eric says, not stopping for people to say it back "We'll be moving on to the next stage of initiation"

Everyone nods and Eric and Tobias start to walk to the doors on the other side of the room, motioning for us to follow.

We all walk in silence, not knowing what's gonna happen soon. I know Tobias said we'll be doing simulations, but he never clarified if that was this stage or the next one.

We finally get to the hallway, and Tobias and Eric say to sit and wait outside while they take one person at a time. They call Olivia first, and the time surpasses 10 minutes. After that, people start to get impatient. Oliver starts to tap his foot, worried for his sister. When she comes back out (20 more minutes later) by herself she goes to sit down again by Oliver and he hugs her. She looks a little scared of whatever just happened. He asks her if she's ok, keeping an arm around her shoulder.

"I'm fine Ollie," Olivia says reassuringly

It must be killing them that there's a chance one of them might not get into Dauntless. They're some of the closest siblings I've ever seen, so it must hurt that they could be separated. Though they're both strong, so they're definitely getting in.

Then Tobias steps out again and calls for Jonathan next. Katherine gives him a quick, small, smile and he goes into the room. We wait again, 45 minutes this time, and he walks out- slightly scared- and sits down.

"So?" Katherine asks

"What?" Jonathan says clueless

"What happened in there, you dummy?" Katherine says jokingly

"Oh, can't say," Jonathan says smirking a little

"Wow. You're really gonna do us like that, huh?" I say jokingly.

Jonathan just shrugs and stays silent.

People get called one by one again, but each time when they come back they say nothing. Then Jake goes in and comes back 20 minutes later. He comes to sit down by me again and seems kind of scared like Jonathan did.

"Ok, please tell me you're going to tell us what happened?" I ask Jake

"Nope. I've sworn to secrecy" Jake says, smiling a little.

"I hate you," I say seriously

I try my best to give him a death stare but I can't when he looks at me like that.

"Oh my god, stop that!" I tell him, looking away

"Stop what?" Jake says, smiling

"Stop smiling, like that," I say, looking back up at him again.

He smiles and Dean yells "Oh my godddd can you 2 stop, your in love we get it already!"

I can't help but laugh a little, and I even see Dean smiling a little too when I glance at him again.

Then, Tobias comes back out and motions for me to come into the room. I get up and walk inside slowly, and keep my arms to my side scared a little. Inside the room is a chair, just like the one Tobias and I sat on when we went into our fear landscapes yesterday and the day before. He never told me my time though.

He closes the door behind him and I say "Oh, it's just the fear landscape"

"Don't sound too excited?" He says jokingly

I sit on the chair and lay back. He sticks the needle in my neck, and I close my eyes.

I open my eyes again and I see the city around me. I look down and I'm standing on a bridge, high above the rest of the buildings. My first instinct would be to just jump off, I know this isn't real. But, I can't do that, or I'll reveal I'm Divergent. I look in front of me, and I see the bridge connecting to a building. I start to walk forward carefully, and I basically jump in when I get close enough.
