Divergent 203-303
That night after the rankings were shown, Edward, who ranked first, got stabbed in the eye by Peter, who got second. In the morning, Edward's bunk was striped clean and so was Myra's, who ranked last. The other two to get cut were Dauntless-born. Later on that day, Tris runs into the Dauntless-born initiates and they invite her to one of their initiation rituals. They get on a train and head to the tallest building in the north part of the city. They climb about a thousand feet to the top where there is a cable with a pulley that goes from the top down to the ground. One by one, the initiates hook up to the cable and fly down to the ground. Tris was scared at first but loved it after she did it. Stage two of initiation begins on the next morning. Everyone sits in a dark hallway, getting called into a room one by one. When it's her turn, Tris goes into the room and sees a chair very similar to the one she sat in during the aptitude test. Four explains to her that the simulation will be about facing your fears. He gives Tris a shot to begin the simulation. She ends up in a field being attacked by millions of crows. She gets out of simulation three times faster than any other of the initiates. After that, she heads back to the dormitory, where everyone is huddled around Peter, who is reading an article from the newspaper. The article bashed Abnegation and questioned how much longer they would stay a faction. This angers Tris, so she leaves the dormitory and sees Four. He is with a group of people and is drunk. There is another simulation the next day. This time she is trapped in a glass box at is filling with water. Everyone is around watching her and she calls for help, but no one does anything. Suddenly, she realizes that it's not real and calms down to think of a plan. She decides to hit the glass until it breaks, and then the simulation is over. Four has never seen that before. He figures out she is Divergent. He tells her that if anyone else finds out she will end up dead and that she needs to find out how to hide it. He deletes the footage of the simulation so no one will see it. Five days have passed, and so have five more simulations. Everyone is extremely bothered by the simulations except Tris. Then, Eric gives them the rankings as sort of a progress report. Tris is first, Peter is second. That night, Tris gets out of bed to get a drink of water and hears people talking in the hall. It is Eric and some other girl. They are talking about the initiation and if there are any Divergents in the group. Just before she leaves, someone grabs Tris from behind and throws cloth over her face so she can't see. She figures out it is Peter, Drew, and Al. After struggling for awhile, they finally got her up on the railing at the edge of the chasm. Then Four comes in and saves her. Tris sleeps in Four's room that night. The next day is boring. Al tried apologizing to Tris but she didn't accept the apology. Then on the next day, she finds out the Al committed suicide by jumping into the chasm.
