All eyes were on me as i forced my feet to walk towards the edge. I tried to keep my head up and look confident but inside i was terrified.

I glanced over the wall to see a gaping hole at the bottom but that was all it was. I couldn't make out what was benath the darkness that is if there was anything there. Of course there would be, they wouldn't kill off their initates straight away. I glanced to my right to see blue eyes smirking 3 meters away. I was not going to let him win this.

It'll just be like climbing onto the roof in abnegation, i told myself. Yeah except that time i never jumped my subconscience argued.

My hands grabbed the side of the wall as i hopped on top of the ledge which wasn't that wide. Once my footing was right i stood up with my arms out slightly for balance. I took one more shaky breath and looked over my shoulder to see Sienna giving me a reasuring smile.

Then my attention was back on blue eyes as a smirk tugged at my lips and i winked in his direction causing shock to flash across his face before stepping off the ledge. One point to me i thought as i fell through the air letting gravity pull me to the ground. Not once did a scream leave my mouth.

After what felt like minutes my back collided with something hard causing me to be thrown back up a few feet before landing again. My hand reached out to grab what caught me and wrapped around a cross in some rope. Of course, a net.

A laugh escaped my lips, a sound i will happily get use too. Suddenly the net was pulled making me roll to the edge where a pair of hands picked me up and put me down on the ground.

"You fall?" a deep familiar voice asked. Thats odd i dont know any dauntless.

I looked up to see those brown eyes i'd seen so many times staring into mine. It couldn't be him.

"Tobias?" i whisperd. No he was in erudite.

"My name's Four. What's yours then first jumper? You can change it now but make it good, you don't get to pick again," he replied but something didn't seem right. This was my brother it had to be. He'd changed quite a bit, he'd gained muscle, grown taller and his hair was shorter. He even had a tattoo sticking out of his collar but it was still him. He hadn't convinced me otherwise.

"Kierra"I wanted to keep my name.

"First jumper! Kierra!" Four yelled and then looked at me, "Welcome to Dauntless."

He pushed me slowly towards a woman a year or two older than me with a blonde ponytail and 3 birds tattooed on her collar bone. I quickly glanced back at Toby who was giving me the we'll talk later look which he used to give me if he wanted us to escape Dad back in abnegation. I knew it was him. So Marcus had lied about where hed transferd too.

Maybe the reason he'd said erudite was that if i was going to leave ,and he knew i would, then it would be to follow him. And that meant we'd never be reunited but i guess that plan failed. Oh god, i never saw his reaction. What did he do when i chose here? Will he do anything at all?

"Hey are you okay?" the girl shouted over the cheers of dauntless who were outlining the room and bulking up the entrances, " you look really pale, do you feel sick?"

"No no i'm fine," i smiled standing next to her to see an orange blur hit the net. The amity boy. The woman nodded next to me.

"I'm six by the way," What was it with numbers for names around here Did everyone except a dauntless leader like Max get a number? I wonder what blue eyes has? One, two, three...

Ten minutes later everybody had jumped, even Max and mystery man who had had no trouble getting off of the net before disapearing together, of course blue eyes sent me an amused smirk as he left. Sienna was 3rd and Ben was 4th.

"Alright Initiates listen up! Dauntless born follow Uriah and Christina. I'm sure you know you're way around, transfers stay here," all the dauntless borns followed a man and woman down a corridor lit with blue lights. Reece and Charlie sent us reasuring smiles as they passed while telling us theyd see us at dinner. There were 8 of us left: me, Sienna and Ben, the amity boy, 3 erudites and another candor boy.

"I'm Six and this is Four, we're two of your instuctors. There's another guy but you'll have a proper introduction with him later but just to warn you all now, stay on his good side. Before we begin the tour any questions?"

"You mean Four and Six like the numbers?" An erudite girl snickerd, her little brunete friend gigging with her.

"Exactly like the numbers," Tris replied bored, " is that the only question?"

"Are you single?" the candor boy asked winking and looking her up and down causing the other erudite boy to laugh and smirk.

In seconds Four had him pinned up against a wall with his left forearm against his neck making fear apparent on his face, "No, she's taken."

Aww has my big brother got a girlfriend. I'll defenitly have to take the mick of him for this later.

"S-sorry," he stuttered.

"What's your name?" Four demanded.

"Shawn," the candor said. Compared to Four he had no muscle and was probably 5"10 with black shaggy hair.

"Well you'll see soon Shawn what happens to guys who try to touch other people's girlfriends," and with that he pushed Shawn further into the wall before heading back to six, taking her hand and leading us down a dark corridor with his arm around her waist protectivly.
