I DON´T OWN THIS CHARACTERS, THEY ARE VERONICA ROTH'S PROPERTY.
Everyone stops at the time.
¨ Clear the area¨ I look at the coward and say ¨all but you¨
¨Go and stand in front of target¨ I say to Al
This is going to be fun. But who will perform this task? I can make another Initiate to do it , or myself but they or I would hit him in somewhere irreparable. Then the only one with a perfect aim is ... ¨ Hey, Four come and help me with this ¨
¨ You're going to stand there while he throws knives until you don´t flinch¨ I say to him
¨ Is this really necessary? ¨ Four ask.
Ahh, This stupid makes me furious, I wanted to scream that if I say that is necessary it´s, that I'm the boss here, that if he didn´t do it I will toss knives but not Al but at Tris, but no, their suffering has to be slow and in a place where only I could enjoy it. Then all I'm saying is ... ¨ I am the authority here, remember? ¨ ¨Here and everywhere, do not forget
His face changes to all colors, but I never seem to break him enough to have some more fun.
When Four was about to throw the first knife someone yells ¨Stop ¨ I turn around to see who it is that has interrupted my orders and to my surprise is Tris.
I have the perfect excuse to put her in front of that target. I flip quickly to see Four, the look in his eyes is priceless. In his attempt to make Tris retract what she said, he gives her a look as if he were to turn her into stone. This could not have gone better.
¨ Any idiot can stand in front of a target ¨ the Stiff says ¨That proves nothing, except that you're bullying us. And, as I see it, is a sign of cowardice ¨.
¨ Then it should be easy for you ¨ I say ¨if you're willing to take his place ¨.
When she starts to move toward the target someone says to her.
¨ There goes your pretty face ¨ Peter tells¨ oh, wait, you do not have one ¨.
That's not entirely true. It is true that she does not have a pretty face, but there's something, something that makes you want to see it all the time. What I'm doing? Why do I think of her this way', she is just the ticket for my revenge, a revenge that has waited two years.
"If you flinch," says Four, Slowly, Carefully, "Al Takes your place. Understand? "
Who told him he could give orders. But before I could say something, he throws the first knife and Tris closes her eyes. It is amazing how she only just close her eyes.
"You about done, Stiff?" Four ask.
¨ No ¨. She replies.
"Eyes open, then." He taps the spot historical between his eyebrows.
"Come on, Stiff," Four says. "Let someone else stand there and take it."
"Shut up, Four!" She replies.
You can´t imagine how much I'm enjoying this. To see how Four throws knives at Tris. Oh poor deluded, he thinks I do not know about his feelings. But I learned how to read every movement, every glance, every thought Four has, so when this moment arrived I could make the most.
When I believed that this could not get any better, when he only have a knife left to finish, when it look like the fun has ended. He does it. I am impressed once again. And, oh you don´t know how much would I will like it to be the last time he impressed me. He throw the knife and hit to top of her ear. He hit her ear, and I know he do it on purpose because he has never failed. Am I wrong? No, I'm not, I can't be wrong. What if he really does not like her? What if I just want to believe this because I am so anxious to finally fulfill my revenge? I have to be absolutely sure before doing anything; I do not want to be wrong again. The other leaders forgave me because; well, because for who I am. But twice, I do not think it will happen.
"I would love to stay and see if the rest of you are as daring as she is," "but I think that's enough for today." I tell everyone.
Before I left, I approach toward her and squeeze her shoulder. I give her a look of recognition for her courage, a courage that I help her find.
"I Should keep my eye on you,"
And I leave. But I stay near the training room, because I know that this is the moment when my suspicions will be fully revealed.
I walk a little closer to the door to hear what Four and Tris say.
¨Is your-" Four begins.
"You did that on purpose!" Tris shout.
"Yes, I did," he says quietly. "And You Should thank me for helping you."
"Thank you? You almost stabbed my ear, and you Spent the entire time taunting me. Why should I thank you? " She says
"You know, I'm getting a little tired of waiting for you to catch on!"
With that last sentence he confirms everything. Unlike Tris, I understand what Four is referring with this. He is waiting for Tris to realize how much he likes her and that they have to be careful that I discovered. He is an idiot, if they only knew.
"Catch on? Catch on to what? That you wanted to prove to Eric how tough you are? That you're sadistic, just like he is? "
"I am not sadistic." He does not yell. "If I wanted to hurt you, you don't think I would Have already?"
"I-'Tris start to shout, but he's already gone. Tris screams frustrated.
When I see that Four is far to hear or see me enter the training room, I do it. As I enter, Tris jumps with fear. Good, she is afraid of me. I stand so close to her that we're almost breathing the same air.
¨ I know what you are hiding, Tris¨ I say it with an evil look. And so low that if we weren't seven inches apart she would not be able to listen. ¨ And if you don´t want me to do something against him you will do everything I say, and without asking or complain¨.
Tris's gaze is priceless. She knows what I mean and to whom I referring to. With a look of submission and resignation, she says. ¨ Yes Eric, whatever you want ¨.
