Tour

I will take them to the Pit next. I tell myself.

"Follow me." I lead the way out of the room. The footsteps of the initiates ring in my ears as I walk to the Pit.

"This is a place you will learn to love." I stop walking when we get to the door. "This is the Pit."

"Why is it called the Pit?" Christina asks. Great, I say to myself, her again.

"You'll see." I open the door and hear Christina mumble, "Oh..." I can't help but smile.

There are Dauntless everywhere. Mingling and doing what they do best, drinking. I am tempted to get drunk also, just for the fun of it, but I can't because I have to help the initiates out. Work now, I think, Drink later. I must have been staring for too long because one of the initiates nudge me and I stumble forward.

I look back to see who it was. My face, hot with embarrassment.

"Who did that?" I ask in a stern voice. Nobody comes forth. I search the initiates faces. I know when someone is lying, because their eyes give it away. I look at one of the boys. Their eyes are moving slightly, indicating that he was obviously the one who shoved me. One of the Candor boys.

"Peter," I begin. "What was that for?" I scowl at him.

"What? I didn't do anything." He says it nonchalantly. He is a good liar, but I know better.

"I know you did and if you refuse to confess, I highly suggest that you should get out." He looks at me and arches his eyebrows.

"Fine. It was me. It was just meant to be a joke." Christina laughs.

"What kind of joke was that? You have the nerve to mess with mister hunky boy." She holds her stomach. I walk up to her and Peter.

"Look. The despise the Candor for this exact reason, and if you don't want to end up factionless, I suggest you shut your mouths." I hiss. Christina shudders but Peter just stands at attention, mocking me.

"Yeah, okay mister instructor." He rolls his eyes. Do not lose your temper. I tell myself. Don't lose control. I back away from them and look at Tris instead. She looks like she's been scolded. I must have intimidated her too. Guilt feels my chest.

"The next place I show you," I say, walking out of the Pit, "Is a place all the people who don't know how to shut up need to see." I am going to show them the chasm now.

When we get to the tunnel that leads to the chasm, I stop short.

"Are you ready for this?" I direct my question toward Christina and Peter. They roll their Candor eyes.

"Of course. The question is, are you ready for this?" Christina chuckles. I am very close to punching her.

I walk through the tunnel with the initiates following behind me. When we get to the end of the tunnel, Christina's jaw drops.

"That's the chasm?" She asks. "I thought it was a jewel." I look at her like she is stupid, mainly because she is.

"I just said it was a place, did I not?"

"Yes, you did." SHe shrinks back down to the little girl that she is. I glance back at Tris to see if she looks scared. She doesn't. The quilt leaves my chest, making my airwaves clearer.
