It was a choosing day like any other day. My second one as a leader, shit, it was only my second as a Dauntless, before my choosing day I had been Erudite and so full of knowledge that I knew I was never use here. I had needed a change and I was ready for my new adventure.

As I stand here waiting for the train to arrive I'm vaguely aware of Jeremy trying to talk to me. "Dude, do you think there will be any good one this year?" Ugh... he is slightly annoying but a good soldier none the less. "Here comes the train." I tell him. "Get yourself together we don't want to give them the wrong impression." He takes a deep breath and squares his shoulders and lets out a reverberating "Yes, sir." Suddenly there are bodies landing on the rooftop around us some are easily recognized as Dauntless borns... and then come the transfers.

I let them get their bearings while I surveyed the crowd to see the newest crop of initiates. I made sure to leave a scowl on my face so they knew who was in charge. I step up on the ledge and take a deep breath. "I am Eric, one of your leaders here in Dauntless..." Out of the corner of my eye I spot some transfers four Candors and an Abnegation. Three of the Candor were pointing and laughing at the one Abnegation girl. "This could be fun." I thought to myself, I really didn't want to have to train the stiff.

"... This is the only way into Dauntless." I continue pointing over the side of the building. I wait for the questions to start, imagining something like "Are you kidding?" or "What happens if we don't jump?" but instead I hear, "Is there water down there or something?" it comes from some curly headed ginger I don't recognize even though he is Dauntless born. I smile evilly "You'll have to fine out, won't you?" I say "Okay, so who is going to be the first to jump..."

It is silent for a few seconds and I am scanning the crowd silently fuming at the Dauntless borns when all of the sudden I hear "Me" come from the other side of the roof. My eyes grow wide "The Stiff" I say out loud as she steps forward shedding her outer jacket and tossing it at the Candor who has said something about her, my voice dripping with surprise. She smirks as she steps past me and climbs out on the ledge.

At that moment I knew she was different, I knew she was someone that I needed to be close to. "Today initiate" I say more sternly than I intended because she is taking forever... She turns around and gives me a small smile holds her head up high and falls backwards off the ledge. My breath is momentarily taken away. I strain over the hole hoping that I can hear her name called as first jumper. I take a breath and hear Four say "First jumper Tris." Well, one this is for sure, the girl knows how to pick a name.
