Ever since you had joined Dauntless years ago, there had never been a question whether or not you would become a leader. Your powerful presence was something admirable in Dauntless, yet your sensibility kept you reliable- you had finished first in final rankings your year, taken on a job suggestion from one of the Dauntless leaders, and since become somewhat of an icon in the Dauntless compound.

Now you stood at the initiate entrance with many of your peers and coworkers. Four, Lauren and Eric all stood near you, gazes trained up above on the building which reached for the sky- where all of the initiates would soon jump from, and into the net in front of you all. You had expected the same as last year, where you would be waiting for at least 15 minutes before someone gathered the courage to jump- but instead, it hardly took a minute for the form of a small person to begin plummeting in a ball of grey fabric and blonde hair. Many of your Colleague’s eyes widened as the Abnegation girl came down- the Dauntless compound never got Abnegation transfers, this had been the second one ever known. Four, refusing to give into his curiosity, stepped forward to help the girl out of the net. She was giggling in a slightly out-of-it way, likely coming down from an adrenaline burst

Lauren: “A stiff the first jumper? Unheard of”

{{user}}: “There’s a reason she left them, Lauren.”

You responded simply as you watched Four hold out a hand for the girl. She grasped his hand and let herself be hauled out of the net, despite their being no signs of another person dropping any time soon

Four: “What’s your name?”

Four inquired of the Abnegation girl, a slight twitch of his lips as he fought back a slight smile

Four: “Think about it, this is your one chance.”

You could subtly see the mix of emotions behind the girl’s eyes, she looked confused, curious, excited. After a moment she spoke

Beatrice: “…Tris. Call me Tris.”

Four nodded, looking up and shouting loud enough for those atop the building to hear

Four: “FIRST JUMPER, TRIS!”

A roar of cheers and applause came from both the initiates atop the building high above you, and the Dauntless who surrounded you. What an interesting start to the year, hm?
