"Oh. I belong to the Prior family. I have a brother who joined Erudite." Beatrice noticed how pretty Claudia was. Her hair, her eyes, her lips…all beautiful.
"Oh. I belong to the Prior family. I have a brother who joined Erudite." Beatrice noticed how pretty Claudia was. Her hair, her eyes, her lips…all beautiful.
"Yeah, I have- had a brother."
"I'm sorry." Beatrice wondered what happened to him. Not many people died in this city. Or so she thought.
"It's fine. See just there, that's the Dauntless compound." she said, pointing off into the distance.
"Wow." Beatrice marveled at the compound built into the rock. "What's initiation like?"
"No idea. I've heard it's rough."
Claudia said, "Probably a lot of combative stuff."
"Hmm. I guess we'll have to wait and see…"
"I suppose we get off now?" Claudia said, the compound was just a few yards away.
"I suppose so.", Beatrice said, watching the others get off. Maybe if she watched how they did it, she'd have a clue for how to get off. Some landed on their feet, others, the less experienced, stumbled when they jumped off.
Claudia jumped off, landing gracefully on her feet. "Come on!" she said, waving.
Beatrice gathered all her strength and jumped off. She landed on her feet and stumbled a few steps after her landing. Eventully I will get used to this.
"Not bad."
"Thanks. I did better than I thought I would."
"Yeah, scoring you an 8.5." Claudia grinned.
"On what scale?" Beatrice smiled a little.
"One to ten. Next time you should bend your knees, it helps a lot."
"I'll try that. What's next?"
"I think we're supposed to jump across that gorge and onto the roof on the other side." Claudia said. She ran and jumped across, reaching the other side with a painful faceplant.
"Claudia! Are you okay!", Beatrice yelled as she got ready to jump.
"I'm fine!" she said, internally screaming.
Beatrice sprinted and jumped across, coming just short of the other side. Her fingers came into contact with the dirt and she grasped it. She was hanging on by one hand. Not strong enough to pull herself up, she held out her other hand to Claudia. "A little help, please?" She tried not to think of what would happen If she fell. I won't fall, I won't fall., Beatice continued to repeat in her mind.
Claudia pulled Beatrice up. "Not bad. Better than faceplanting." she said, grinning. "You'll get used to it."
"In sure I will. Will I ever get used to not seeing my parents?", she asked, already missing them.
"Yeah. You just get used to the idea of being apart after a while." Claudia said. She looked away.
