Tension

     The bonds between the kids trying to become Dauntless are beginning to weaken. Everyone is starting to be more independent, watching their own backs. Though, some groups have formed that are destin for trouble. Tris decided to stay away from those groups, knowing they cause trouble and push the limits of the Dauntless leaders. Will's group does not like Tris, and she knows it. They have picked on her before but have finally crossed the line. One night while Tris was sleeping, Will and his group decided it was time for her to go. They kidnapped her, and took her to the edge where the river lied below. Falling down into the gushing water would lead to instant death. People have fallen and some have attempted suicide by jumping off, none have lived. Will and his two friends blind folder her, and threw her over the edge, leaving her holding onto the railing. Will began to take her fingers off the railing one by one. Tris would be dead in seconds. But out of nowhere comes Four, saving Tris from her death. Four let her sleep in his house, knowing she wouldn't dare to go back to her room with everyone else. The next day, Tris saw Will and his two friends. It looked as if they were lucky to be alive. Four made sure they would regret their decision.


      Tensions between the members trying to become Dauntless has really increased my curiosity. Tris does not seem like a girl that would go and try to get revenge, rather I think she'll let Four take care of them. Also, I feel like the relationship between Tris and Four has grown, and is starting to pass just being friends. If they do end up becoming more than friends, this can really affect the story. And if the other members find out, I believe real trouble will occur, and it will change everything. One more person I am looking at is Al. Tris and him used to have a thing, but Tris has moved on and has even been harsh to Al about it. Every night, Al cries in his bed, leaving all the other members awake. Not to mention, he is last in every stage so far. The odds of him becoming Dauntless seems very slim, especially with his depressed atittude. I do not think it will end good for him. There are no cuts for stage 2, but I predict something will happen to him and he will not make it to stage 3. The only reason I'm predicting this is because the author keeps hinting that something is going to happen to him, and I can only see it being bad.
