From chapter 10: Tris fights Peter
a/n: I've decided to name all the chapters. By the way, I'm trying to just do good oneshots, and I just plain don't want to do the familiar ones, if they weren't my favorite scenes in the book. Or, one where I didn't suspect Four liked Tris. But this one... When I read it, it was OMG! He likes her...
So... here goes chapter one, though it's from chapter ten...
Emmabeth.
I look at the pairs.
1: Molly, Edward
2: Tris, Peter
Eric did these, and they're not exactly fair.
At least, that particular one isn't.
The rest are pretty balanced, with Christina fighting will.
I don't think that will go over too well.
Eric shows up literally two seconds before Peter, Drew, and Molly.
Then come Edward and Myra, and Tris, Christina, Will, and Al.
I see Christina mutter, "Are they serious? They're really going to make you fight him?was
And I have to admit, that is probably a bad idea.
Now, Tris is going to fight harder.
It's what I like about her, but also, what will lead to her getting hurt.
I send mental messages to Peter.
Make it quick.
Please make it quick.
I don't want to see her hurt.
Oh my gosh, here she goes.
Molly lost her fight, and Edward's name is circled.
Okay, so be careful with him.
Don't put him with her.
I can't put Edward with Tris.
I don't want to see her give up... or the consequences of that...
Now it's time for her fight.
Make it quick.
But Peter is malicious.
I already know that.
He didn't spare Drew, his friend, so why would he spare her?
She aims a kick at his side, but Peter blocks it and pulls Tris to the ground.
Eric must be bored.
"Stop playing with her. I haven't got all day."
I want to punch Eric.
I unclench my fists and watch as Peter punches Tris in the jaw.
He kicks her stomach, and she can't block it.
She gets a good punch in, but Peter just keeps going.
I turn, feeling sick, and unable to watch anymore.
I can't stand the idea of ⠓er getting hurt.
I guess that's because I like her.
I don't know.
Do I really like her?
I sink to the ground, in a place where the cameras aren't located, and wait.
An ear-piercing scream splits through the air, and I'm up on my feet, before I even consciously decide to move.
She never screamed like that when Peter was punching her before.
What did he do to cause that?
I run back into the room.
Tris is lying face-down in a pool of her own blood, Peter punching and kicking her in every spot he can.
"Enough!" I shout.
I run over and look at Peter.
"You won."
I lift her up, cradling her to my chest.
"I'll take her." offers Al.
"Your fighting next. And Peter, clean up the blood so Al and Drew don't trip."
Christina steps forward.
"Does she have to be carried?"
"Yes. She's unconscious."
"Will and I..."
"You fight after Al and Drew."
I carry her out, and to the infirmary, careful not to jostle her.
I set her gently on the bed.
Helena comes running over.
"Again? Really?"
"Fighting is brutal."
I'm worried.
She's still bleeding.
"Yep, we've got another concussion." says Helena, after a few minutes.
I nod.
After a few more minutes, she walks off, telling me that Tris would have some nasty bruises, but she'll be okay.
I sit there beside her, not wanting to leave until I'm sure she's okay.
Helena finally comes back over.
"She'll be out for a while Four. You should go back to the training room."
I nod, and stand.
Helena is right.
But it's still hard for me to leave her, even though I know that she doesn't currently know where she is, or why she's here.
But I make myself go back, just in time to see Christina fall.
I take her to the infirmary, partly as an excuse to check on Tris.
She's still out.
I turn, breathing deeply.
I _have to keep Eric from killing anyone.
From hurting anyone else the way he hurt her.
A/n: I'm updating basically whenever I have a chance. I have several chapters written, but it will take a few days for me to get them all up on this site. I'm so sorry, but I hope this is a sufficient start. Please review, but please no flames. This is my first fan fic. Please feel free to leave constructive criticism though. Thanks so much!
Emmabeth.
