Divergent, The next generation.
'You are never weak if you have a brave heart… if you do then you are the strongest person alive.'
I feel a rush of pain run down my spine. He knocks me to the ground, when I say knocked I don't mean 'Oh sorry, didn't see you there, let me help you up.' No it's not like that. I mean he punches my face. His fist slits my check and I feel my cool blood trickle down my neck. Great, Blood. I think. I hear my friends giving me support, telling me that I need to win this fight to be first, telling me that I need to get up. I wanted to prove that I was just as strong as my aunt and my brother. Toby (He moved to Dauntless but goes by a different name, Luke, don't even ask me why he changed it.' He wasn't smart like me so he left Erudite for Dauntless. I joined Dauntless to prove my family wrong, even though my mother had faith in me until recently.
A kick brings me back to reality. I groan in pain and look up to see his face. Riley. So far he was the best, Dauntless – born and transfers. I aim to beat him. He knows that I'm trying. He doesn't try and I know he doesn't want to win but he has got good luck. He's good – looking and smart and he has followers. People who look weak compared to him are scared of him. He was tall and full of muscles. He had short brown hair with deep blue eyes with you could get lost in. his black Dauntless clothing brings out his deep tanned skin. I was weak but mother had told me once. 'You are never weak if you have a brave heart… if you do then you are the strongest person alive.' I loved that saying but it hasn't helped me in this fight.
'Come on, get up.' Christina screems into my bloody ear. She believed I have true pretenial. I slowly get up to face Riley. The blood runs down his face. One of his eyes was sollowen. My doing? I thought to myself. We move closer to each other, his hair shined when ever the light caughts it. He looks at me and I take a swing to his face. He knew what I was going to do but doesn't move. He lets himself get hit. After my punch, a kick shortly follows it. I still hear the screams of people supporting me but I also hear Riley's friends to take me down. Basically killing me.
I punch him again and this time I cut his lower lip. He is not trying to fight me so my guess is that he wants me to win stage one. Fine by me. His deep blue eyes keep taunting me. I punch him twice more, putting everything into my punchs. I knock Riley to the floor, once again not, 'Oh so sorry.'
He doesn't move after a couple of seconds. A smile creeps up on Christina's face and declares me the winner. I saw Riley smile before they took him to the hospital. Something seriously wrong with that boy.
My friends come to congratulate me. Jenieve and Finn. There are twins from my old faction. Finn is braver then Jenieve but she is stronger. They look the same but Finn has light green eyes whereas Jenieve has liquid Hazel eyes. Pretty. I glance over my shoulder to Davie, names sounds dumb right, but that's not what he is called here. Here he is known as Chase. I don't even know why he is called Chase but he have bleach blonde hair with eyes with are grey and show only coldness.
Next to Chase was Will. Yeah he or Riley didn't change their name, well I don't think they did anyway as from came from Candor. Anyway, Will was staring at me. He never liked me and I don't even know why. He was always weird around me. It's like he wants to see my inside organs. Dudes got issues.
'Well done.' I hear people say around me. I looked to Luke and Christina. Their discussing my rankings. My best friends Jenieve and Finn comfort me. They know I have issues with fighting people. Something happened in my past. No. I'm not going to talk about it, to many… gruesome memories to remember.
The door opens as far have it will go and a tall, broad man walks through the door. His muscles are too big for his tight-fitted shirt. His tanned skin looked darker in the pit than what it should do and his short brown hair cut the way an Abnegation would cut it. He had a straight face and a small beard growing around his mouth. He was in his late 30s, early 40s and he face was familiar around here. He was one of the greatest Legends dauntless had ever had. He walks steady and straight with a firm stride, every step he takes is faster than the other. He marches over to Christina and Luke, whispers things to them and they nod. The muscled man embraces my brother, Luke, for some reason.
'So, Your like the winner, umm… well done.' Mack says to me. I didn't even realizes that he was there.
