Strange, Even for Dauntless

Tris POV

Today is the Choosing Ceremony and I am waiting at the net for the new initiates. I here Max talk about jumping, almost as soon as he finishes though, instead of the usual hesitation in who goes first, a girl dressed in grey jumps almost as soon as the speech stops. Before I can take in her appearance, as soon as she gets out of the net a boy dressed in black and white jumps too! It was like he could sense she got out and jumped in right after her.

The girl had blond hair done in a bun, but as soon as she landed, a second before the boy came down, ripped the bun out of her hair and put it in pigtails. I must admit it suited her better than a bun. It was pretty strange though, she must've known she'd choose Dauntless this morning and grabbed two elastics. Her hair was a blondish brown, and her eyes were emerald green. The gray didn't suit her, and she seemed to want out of it as soon as possible.

The boy, very oddly, had white hair, that clashed with his outfit. He had a black headband to keep his hair out of his eyes, most likely. His eyes were bright red, and his teeth looked like a sharks. He looks more Dauntless than Candor, definitely.

The strangest thing about them was the fact they seemed to know each other for much longer than one train ride. Evidence one, he jumped as soon as she got off so he probably knows she moves fast, two her face lit up like a Christmas tree when he landed, three as soon as he got out she started to talk to him, but much more seriously than her previous face showed. I realized I had been staring and walked over to them.

"What's your name?" looks like Four beat me to it. The girl responded first, "I'm Maka." finishing with a little wave. The kid with white hair shrugged, "Names Soul." Also waved a little then went back to having both hands in his pockets. "Are you sure you only get to pick once." I say, to which I got a response of, "Yes I know what my name is thanks very much." Soul responded, and Maka turned around, so Four and I couldn't see and did something that made him back down. I wish I could do that with Tobias.

"First jumper-Maka, Almost First Jumper-Soul" Four calls out. They don't look surprised the Dauntless come out of the shadows, they don't even flinch. "So what are your names?" questions Maka. "You'll learn them soon enough." I state. To my surprise she pouts! An Abnegation pouting is the rarest, adorable, thing I have ever seen. Soul groans.

We (Four and I) take the initiates on the tour and all through it Maka and Soul hardly look impressed. When we told them our names they hardly looked shocked or like we had the weirdest names ever, they just nodded, then when someone asked us about our names they scoffed. While others were commenting on how huge it was they were standing in the back whispering. Whenever I try to listen they notice, one way or the other. Without Eric here Four and I don't have to be, and mostly aren't, as strict with the initiates, but sometimes it's fun to scare the initiates, or if they underestimate us. Since they weren't doing either I found it unjust to put on instructor mode.

When we get to the cafeteria I expect Maka and Soul to be surprised, but of course their indifferent expressions remain. They get food and sit at a table, no one else sits with them but they don't seem to mind. I guess they were too deep in conversation to notice. "It's a hamburger put this on it." I say, giving her the ketchup, noticing Maka hadn't even touched her burger. "Oh, I'm not a big fan of ketchup thanks, and I know what a hamburger is." She states, my mouth hits the ground. Did her mom somehow make it with the limited things in Abnegation, and what about ketchup?

But as soon as I was going to ask she started to whisper to Soul, I took that as my cue to go, so I walked over to my regular table that consists of Christina, Will, Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Four, and I. I tell them what happened and they're all as surprised as I was. "A Stiff that has had a hamburger?" Uriah asks. I nod and all their jaws drop like mine did.

*In the dorms with Maka*

I didn't even have to think twice about jumping, I've jumped off plenty of buildings when battling kishin eggs so even if there was nothing on the ground I could land without breaking anything. Soul, of course, was right behind me. As soon as he landed I walked over to him and talked about the mission. We were sent here by Lord Death to get rid of a kishin that was much more reliant on mental power then physical, which stroke me as odd for a kishin and to why we were in the only faction that relied physical strength. But one does not simply question Death himself.

Our instructors are Four and Six, not the oddest names I've heard but some people aren't used to weird names so of course they question them. How they would react to a name like Black Star I do not know. So when they ask both Soul and I scoff. This place is maybe half the size of the DWMA so while everyone else is gawking at the size, Soul and I talk about random things. We stop when we notice anyone acting like they are trying to listen in though. We wouldn't want this information getting to the wrong ears.

*Back to the present with Trissy*

Maka and Soul continually hang out with each other and no one else, which strikes me as odd, wouldn't they want as many friends as possible, but they push away almost anyone who comes near them, that is until one day when something bazaar happened.

A/N

I keep alive who I want to keep alive and kill who I want *cough* PETER AND ERIC*cough* Yes they're gone, probably just factionless for now. This is a no war after Book 1 fic I guess it's just about anywhere in the SE world (All of this could change for all I know I'll spoil a SE thingy so, yeah) Please review I love seeing any of them!
