《Stubborn Stiff Tobias' Sister -Completed》1st jumper
Advertisement
My back collided with a net which bounced me up once. "I knew it," I said breathlessly. I looked up to see the hand out in front of me was Tobias'. "First jumper Charlotte" he called out. I took his hand and he helped me off the net. He looked older and stronger than when I last saw him. "I missed you" I said, hugging him. He was taken by surprise but let me hug him. The next jumper was Tris and after her was Christina and so on and so forth. Everybody jumped eventually and we were led away from the net by Lauren and Four. We walked down a narrow hallway and stopped abruptly so Lauren could split the dauntless born and the transfers. “Most of the time I work in the control room, but for the next few weeks, I
am your instructor,” Tobias says. “My name is Four.” “Four? Like the number?” I ask
“Yes,” Four says. “Is there a problem?”
“No.” I reply to him. When did he change his name?
“Good. We’re about to go into the Pit, which you will someday learn to love. It—”
Me and Christina start cracking up. “The Pit? Clever name.” I say to which Christina and Beatrice start laughing about. Four walks up to us and leans his face close to mine. He stares at me for a while. “What’s your name?” he asks quietly to Christina. "Erm Christina" she squeaks out.
“Well, Christina, if I wanted to put up with Candor smart-mouths, I would have joined their
faction,” he hisses. He looks at me. “The first lesson you will learn from me is to keep your mouths shut. Got that?” I nod.
Four starts toward the shadow at the end of the tunnel. The crowd of us moves on in silence, clearly uptight about what four had just said.

“What a jerk,” Christina says quietly “I guess he doesn’t like to be laughed at" Beatrice or Tris now says. We continue walking until Four pushes open double doors. "The pit" he says. We walk in. "Oh I get it", Christina is fast to say. Uneven rocky walls are stories above our heads. There Are places for food, clothing, supplies, and leisure activities. There's a glass roof which provides sunlight. "If you follow me I'll show you the chasm" Four says. He waves his hands making a tattoo on his collar bone visible. We approach the chasm and as we get closer the water seems to move faster. “The chasm reminds us that there is a fine line between bravery and idiocy!” Four shouts. “A daredevil jump, off this ledge will end your life. It has happened before and it will happen again. You’ve been warned.” he finishes
“This is incredible,” Christina says. We all move away from the railing and Tris replies. “Incredible is the word". Four leads us across the pit to a dark tunnel. A dining room full of dauntless who are clashing silverware together. When we walk in, the other dauntless stand applauding us and stamping their feet they're Is shouting and hollers as well. Christina wears the biggest grin as me and Tris begin smiling most likely looking like idiots. I finally got out of that wretched house.
We look for empty seats. Christina and Tris discover a mostly empty table at the side of the room. Of course those two are too afraid to sit next to four so I end up sitting between Tris and him. The center of the table holds food I make a face not recognizing any of it and me and Tris find each other doing the same thing. Circular meat on top of a round bread slice with another price of bread on top of the meat. Tris grabs one as do I but we are both do unsure of what it is we look stupid. Four nudges me with his elbow.

“It’s beef,” he says. “Put this on it.” He passes me a small bowl full of red sauce. “You’ve never had a hamburger before?” asks Christina, her eyes wide. "No Tris hasn't either" I say. Christina with a moment of shock looks at both of us. "Is that what it's called?" I say laughing. “Stiffs eat plain food,” Four says, nodding at Christina. “Why?” she asks, confused. I shrug. “Extravagance is considered self-indulgent and unnecessary.” Tris says. She smirks. “No wonder you left.” I giggle at that comment. “Yeah,” Tris says, rolling her eyes. “It was just because of the food.” I said sarcastically joining Tris.

(This is the improved and rewritten version of Irregular!) Pain and suffering make a man strong or so they say, it makes us wonder. The people who have started this saying how much have they been through, did they have fingernails torn to shreds under their desperate attempts to escape? Did they attempt to rip out their own throats simply to escape their painful existence? Did the hunger and thirst gnaw a hole through their bodies until indescribable pain became the norm? We think these people do not know what they are talking about, throwing around words that sound pleasant. We are The Irregulars.We are born from pain, hatred our sustenance and suffering our armour. And we WILL have our vengeance.

The day they became Mortal
Paladins and Vampires have always been sworn enemies. While the Paladins were blessed with the power of Apollo, made to heal and to wield the power of light itself, the vampires were immortal beings with heightened senses, strength and speed. For centuries the two lived in general peace, while the paladins built their kingdom Appollis, the vampires resided in the sanguine lands of Sareth. All changed however when an unknown paladin poisoned the special water supply of the vampires with Blackrye, a plant that to the vampire's horror removed their right to eternal life. No longer protected from illness or the relentlessness of time the vampires were forced to indulge in more blood. Soon enough a war broke out between the two kingdoms, a war that would cost the life of King Barron of Appollis and the sanity of Queen Diana of Sareth. Their heirs were too young to ascend the throne, forcing the two kingdoms to hastily form a truce until both princes were old enough to rule their lands. Five years after the blood war Arrin of Appollis and Ophyr of Sareth rule their respective kingdoms, despite having been kings for a few years and heavily disliking each other due to their past, they decided to keep the truce in place. What happens however when Arrin decides to kidnap the vampire king after he unfortunately stumbled upon Appollonian terrain?
