Four Catches

Before

Four catches the first jumper as she lands clumsily onto the net. She's a small, fragile-looking thing, wearing the plain gray adornments that scream of Abnegation. They remind Four of a place he escaped, a place that has yet to escape him. Everything about her appearance suggests she doesn't belong here in Dauntless. She doesn't look like she belongs with the muscle and rough faces that surround her.

"I'm Four." Four sees something subtle kindling in her eyes, not quite a fire, but a spark, and that is enough. Already, he sees the very thing he was two years ago - a sixteen-year-old looking for an escape. Looking to find his place. "Welcome to Dauntless."
