Welcome to Dauntless- Chapter 3

Much later that night, we finally made our way to our apartment to sleep.

This morning I wake up, with a large yawn, while stretching, hearing several pops and cracks. Rubbing my right shoulder, where Uriah 'accidentally' shoved the butt of his blue paintball gun, before waging another war with Tobias, for hurting me. The thought makes me giggle, at how protective he is. Oh my gosh, since when do I giggle?!

"what are you giggling about, miss thing?!" Tobias asks me, pulling me back to lay down with him by my waist, and I laugh again. Funny how our thoughts seem to be the same sometimes.

"just about last night…" I reply, a wide smile shining upon my face. I'm extremely happy considering it's 6 AM in the morning. And before you ask, no we did not do 'it'…

"oh yeah?" he asks me, as a smirk smears his face, he moves closer to me, where there's only mere centimeters between us. He brings his face up to give me a small kiss on my fore head, which makes my smile spread wider if that's even possible. "what about last night?" he finishes, mumbling into my neck, planting a small, lingering kiss when he's done.

"just about when Uriah shoved his gun into my shoulder, and you got all protective 'four' mode" I say, finishing with a small laugh. He brings his face from my neck, to look at me attentively, then I see a question pop into his mind, just by looking through his gorgeous ocean blue eyes.

"You think 'four' mode is hot don't you?" he asks, bringing his hands up to quota 'four', as I laugh again, and he does the same.

"I do…" I whisper, with a playful smirk replacing my excited smile, "I think it is extremely sexy" I slur, almost drunkenly. But return the smile back onto my face. Tobias looks almost appalled by my words, although I know he wasn't expecting me to respond, nonetheless be honest. But what can I say, Christina's Candor side is bleeding into me, like a blood bath.

"well then, I'll be making sure to show it more often…" he replies, moving his eyebrows up and done, as I burst into hysterical laughter.

"but I always like Tobias… no I love Tobias, so you should be sure to use both" I say, as we both finishing laughing.

"well anyway, how is your shoulder?" he asks, bringing his hand up again to rub my shoulder…

"it's alright, I guess, it hurts like a bitch, but it should be better in a day or two" I reply, wincing at his touch, not because it's rough, but because my shoulder really hurts. I think it may be sprained or something, but heck if I'll tell Tobias that, he'll over react, and say that I need to stay out of training, which I am not doing.

"alright, but if it still hurts in about a week, your going to the infirmary, whether you like it or not, young lady" he scolds, jokingly. We both begin to laugh and talk. I then turn over to see that it's 6:15 AM and if we want to have any type of breakfast than we have to get out of each others and rejoin reality.

"ok, we have to start getting ready…" I say, swinging my legs over the side of the bed, as Tobias does the same. I stand up, and walk over to the large closet. Grabbing a pair of black high waist shorts, and a black and red trim tank top, going over to the bathroom to take a shower. I undress, and take a shower, realizing how hard it had become to even move my shoulder, I glance over at it to see a mixture of greens, purples, and blacks, as it comes to me that it looks disgusting.

I get out of the shower getting dressed, and see that you can see the rainbow of colors on my shoulder from the tank top, and I have to get a sweat shirt before Tobias sees it. I creak the bathroom door open, and poke my head out the door to be sure that the coast is clear, and when I realize that it is I make a run for it, to the closet, with unbrushed hair and all. When I finally make the two meter dash to the closet, I move hanger after screeching hanger, trying to find any type of jacket or hoodie. I finally find one of Tobias' black hoodies, and whip it on, and just in time at that.

"hey, everything ok?" he asks me, and I let a small smile make it's way to my face, and nod. I can see the hesitation in his demeanor, but since he has no reason to believe that I'm lying, her brushes it off, thankfully. "uh, ok. You done in the bathroom so I can take a shower, then we can head to breakfast?" he asks me, he always has a habit of over explaining things, which I don't mind sometimes, as I can get easily confused, especially at times like now when I'm not focused.

"oh, yeah. Let me just grab a hair brush and a tie." I reply, then scurrying off to get what I needed, I can almost feel his eyes burning into my back, trying to determine whether I'm lying or not. I grab the things I need, and do my hair into the perfect little messy bun perched on my head, while Tobias takes a shower. When I hear the water turn off, I remember that I should really take some pain medicine before we go to get the pain to simmer down on my shoulder. So I run into the kitchen, and reach on top of the fridge, trying to find any type of pain medicine before Tobias gets out. I finally find and big round orange pill bottle, ¾ full of pills, I read the label as it reads, 'DILAUDID'. I recall this being used for when Tobias sprained his wrist. I finish reading the label which says, 'ONE PILL EVERY EIGHT HOURS', perfect, that means if it works, I can just run back here before dinner and take another one.

I take a pill out of the bottle, and putting it towards the back, on top of the fridge, I scramble to get a cup, and fill it with water, tossing the medium sized pill down my throat, taking a gulp over water, just seconds before the bathroom door creaks open.

I walk back into our bedroom, grabbing a pair of black combat boots, and slipping them on, meeting Tobias in the living room.

"ready to go?" I smile, and he nods, grabbing his phone, and handing me mine, and grabbing the keys, off of the small round table in the kitchen. We walk out the door, locking it behind us. We go quickly into the mess hall, only having about fifteen minutes before we have to get into the training room to set up.

We are almost into the mess hall, when I begin to see a bunch of spots, and multiples of things, and it get very blurry, I turn my head around rapidly trying to find an escape from the blurriness, whipping my head back and forth, trying to get it back to normal, causing me to have a severe migraine, causing me to become dizzy. I grab the wall behind be, to try and steady myself to no prevail.

"Tris? Are you ok?" Tobias asks me, but I hear everything echo, so I'm just guessing what he said by the words I could make out. I nod my head 'yes' but I think he can tell I'm lying. I slide my back down the wall to sit on the ground, I hold my pounding head in my hands, shutting my eyes tight. I heart running foot steps come towards me, and talking, but I'm to out of it to know what they're saying.

I open my eyes back up, and see that everything is cleared up, I still have the migraine, but I can handle that. I slowly stand back up, testing my stability.

"hey, are you ok? What happened?" Tobias asks me, I look around to see Christina, Uriah, Zeke, and Will.

"uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine, I just got dizzy for a second there, but I'm fine now, I promise" I say, plastering a realistic looking smile onto my face, making sure it'll pass their test. "I have a head ache now, but it'll be ok, alright?" I encourage, trying to convince them that I'm ok. Or am I trying to convince myself?

"yeah, ok…" Tobias replies, in the same unsteady tone as earlier, "hey, can you guys go with her and sit, I'll get food" Tobias says, and they all nod, and walk with me into the mess hall, and sit.

"Hey Tris, what happened?" Will asks.

"well, I would tell you, but I don't trust Chrissie here, to keep her Candor mouth shut." I snap, looking over towards Christina. Which is true, knowing her, the first chance she gets, she will tell Tobias what's going to with me, and he will get mad at me for lying, then make me go to the infirmary and skip training.

"hey! No need to get moody! I'm Dauntless now remember? I can keep a secret" she says, and I immediately feel bad, I shouldn't have snapped at her like that. I guess I'm just worried about my shoulder, and now this whole head thing…

"right, sorry Christina, I'll tell you guys you just need to promise not to tell Tobias…" I say, and I hear several 'Yeas' and 'Promises'. "well, last night, Uriah hit my right should with butt of his paintball gun, and I hurt very badly this morning, and bunch of different colors, and really stiff. I think it's sprained or something. But anyway, I took some pain medication that was Tobias', when he sprained his wrist. It was dilaudid, and I guess the dizziness and migraines are part of the side effects… I'll be ok" I say, now trying to convince them that I'm ok, purposefully leaving out the part where I was seeing spots, and multiples, and blurriness. They had enough to worry about. "Christina, do you have any Advil in your bag?" I ask, not giving them a chance to try to tell me to tell Tobias, because I wont.

'um yeah let me just…" she begins to dig through her bag when I ask her, and before she whips out the little pill bottle, handing me two. "right here" she finishes, with a smile. I inspect the pills, seeing that they have a light green color, and look like they have liquid in them.

"god thank you! I should be all better now, and I'll answer your unasked question, I promise I'll tell Four if anything gets any worse" I lie, I know I wont tell him, unless I really I have to. Luckily, ever since I've been in Dauntless, I've become a much better liar.

I hear many sighs, probably of relief when I finish my sentence, and I laugh inside of my head.

"damn Tris, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit it that hard, I swear!" Uriah pleads, and I can see the regret in his face. I put a real smile on my face, trying to show him, aas much as I can, that it's ok.

"it's fine, we were all just playing around last night. Oh, be quiet, here he comes!" I mutter under my breath, but I know they all heard me, because they all began talking about some of the initiates, and I pretend to listen.

"Hey, you feeling better?" Tobias asks me, setting the tray full of food down on the table, and taking a seat. I just smile and nod. It's true now, I am feeling much better.

"oh, food!" Uriah finally notices digging in, grabbing a bunch of bacon, Christina gets a muffin and some eggs, Will gets a little bit of everything, I get a muffin and bacon, and Tobias gets a bit of everything.

"so, what were you guys talking about?" Tobias asks, and I speak up before any of the other horrible liars can.

"we were just talking about the initiates, the good ones, the ones who probably wont make it, or the ones that we love!" I say, biting a piece of bacon, nonchalantly, making it look extremely realistic. HA!

"yeah, Olivia and Logan both look like they'll make it… same with Chase and AJ, but I don't know about Maddie, she seems really small, she'd have to be amazing at everything else, because I can tell she's going to get demolished in the fighting…thing is, if Maddie is made faction-less, I don't know what Chase is going to do…" Tobias says, in between eating, as we all nod in agreement.

"You think we are going to have another jumper?" I ask, sadly, I don't want to go through that again, and I don't want anyone else to go through that.

"I'm not sure, I hope not though…" Tobias trails off, as we all stay silent for a few moments.

"Well anyway! What do you guys thing of Tayton?" I ask, he's the only Abnegation jumper this year, why wouldn't I ask their thoughts?

"I don't know if he's going to make it either, but if he doesn't, I can tell he'll hold his own in faction-less" Uriah replies, being serious for once, I didn't know that was possible, but we once again all nod in agreement.

"And oh my gosh, Zoë, Jack, and Cameron are so annoying!" I exasperate. "is it bad to say that I don't want any of them to make it, even though I know at least one or two will?" I ask, looking around the table

"No, of course not, do you think I wanted Peter or even Drew to make it last year?" Tobias asks me, and I just shake my head. He's right, no one wanted them to make it, they were jerks.

"Well, we better get going, we still have to set up" Tobias says, after we finish talking about the initiates. Grabbing my hand, as we both stand up.

"yeah, us too! We still have to set up also." Christina replies, says bye to Will, and pulls a pouting Uriah out by the back of his shirt. "Come on you Pansycake" she almost growls, and the looks on Uriah's face is priceless.

"You ready to go?" Tobias asks me, and nod, walking out of the mess hall, listening to Zeke and Will talk, something about always being left behind, making me laugh on the inside. When we get into the hallway, to the training room, Tobias asks me, "are you sure you're ok? You can skip training today, if you want. I can train them by myself"

"No, I'm fine now, Chris gave me some Advil for the head ache and it pretty much gone now" I say, as we walk into the training room, setting up thirteen targets, and thirteen guns. One for each of the initiates, and one for Tobias and I.

And as soon as we are done setting up the initiates piling in, some looking tired as hell, and some looking excited, while very few look nervous. I know they are all hiding their nervousness, it's natural to be nervous on your first day, but some hide it very well.

"Alright, today you will be learning how to shoot a gun" I begin, "a gun will be your primary source of defense."

"What are the other defenses?" Ava, the only Erudite initiate that is not annoying.

"You're an Erudite, you tell me? And if you cant, then keep your mouth shut" Four says, crossing his arms, and taking a step closer to the girl. When he finishes his threat, he backs away, keeping his arms crossed.

"Well anyway, Four, will you demonstrate or will I?" I ask, looking over to Four.

"You can, I'll be demonstrating tomorrow.." he replies, and with that, I walk over to the thirteenth gun and target, picking it up, and holding it to my left shoulder, the opposite of my dominant hand, but considering my… injury, I can't hold it to my right shoulder.

"By the way, this is my non-dominant hand, in case you were wondering…" I reply, sarcastically. I lift the gun back up to my face, and shoots, three rounds. I pull the gun away from my face, and see that every shot hit dead center of the target. I turn around, to see most of the initiates gaping. I chuckle on the inside. 'wow, are they that impressed, they haven't even seen Tobias shoot, and they probably wont be able to either' I think

"well, quit staring, go." Four says, with a smirk on his face. He knew what I'd do, that's why he's not surprised, we've been practicing almost everyday since I've become an official Dauntless member.

They all go and get guns, to begin shooting, Four and I walking back and forth, correcting initiates as we go along, when I see Jack had his gun set down and Liam holding his, just standing there talking. I walk over to them, crossing my arms.

"Is there something wrong with your hands?" I ask, sarcastically.

"Um, no, is there something wrong with you? I think you could use some practice little thing" the taller one, Liam, replies also sarcastically.

I grab the gun from Jack's station, and point it at Liam's neck, faster than you can blink. "I'm the one whose Dauntless, so try me initiate! Your holding a loaded gun, wake the hell up! Back talk again, and I will kill you!" I yell, keeping the gun firmly pressed against the vessel in his neck.

"Are you threatening me?" He asks, a smirk smeared across his.

"No, I'm fucking promising." I growl out, lowly. And just by the tone in my voice, he gulped, almost scared like. I laugh on the inside, not so big and bad now?

I shove the gun back Jack's chest, and walk away, smirking. I walk over to Four, and finally let the smile creep onto my face.

"You weren't really… going to shoot him, were you?" Four asks me, with a smirk plastered on his face also.

"Yeah, I was. I'm sick of people saying that I shouldn't be Dauntless, just because I'm small. I've been Dauntless, I am Dauntless, and I will remain Dauntless. Whether anyone likes it or not." I finish, with a deep sigh, we've had this conversation maybe a time or twenty.

He just nods, as we return to walking around the room. I hear a whistle come from the other side of the room, and I look over to see Four waving me over, towards Chase and Maddie. I go over, to see that Chase has hit the target almost every time, and see that Maddie has almost the same thing, but a few shots that are a bit off centered. But this is almost impossible, for a previous Amity to hit the target in the first shot, and every shot after that.

I give Four a look, and he nods. We know they've had some type of previous training, but we will wait for knife throwing before we ask them anything.

"Alright for those of you who have hit the target at least five times, and hit the center at least once, you may leave for lunch… if you haven't, well looks like you are staying with us" Four calls out, as several initiates scramble to leave.

"Thank you Four. Thank you Six." Maddie and Chase call out, from the door. Typical Amity generosity. We turn to see who is left, and see Tayton, Liam, Zoë, AJ, and Cameron.

"Wow, looks like you should have been practicing any way?" I ask, looking at Liam. He just stands there, as I chuckle.

"Ok, we'll start with you Tayton, it looks like you hit the target four times. If you hit the center in this shot, you are free to go" Tobias says, inspecting the target carefully. Tayton nods, holding the gun up to his shoulder, when I notice what he's doing wrong.

"you are holding the gun up too high on your shoulder, causing it to point down, move towards the middle of your shoulder, instead of resting it on top of your shoulder" I say, moving the gun to where I said it should be, as he looks at me questioningly, asking me if that's right, so I nod a 'yes', and he shoots. It hit's the target, dead center. "alright, good, your free to go…" I say, and he nods, setting the gun down, and walking off.

"alright AJ, your up…" Tobias say, and AJ comes up, he only needs to hit the target 2 more times, he has already hit the center. He does so and the routine continues, of initiates completing their tasks, and walking out. Everything goes smoothly until it's Zoë's turn. We have been standing here for almost 10 minutes, waiting for her to just hit anywhere near the center, but has come to no prevail.

"I'll be right back…" Four says, walking out, and coming back not a minute later with Zeke. "alright, Zeke, we'll be back in about 20 minutes, let's hope she hit's the center by then" Four says, pulling me out of the door, and towards the mess hall.

"Doesn't Zeke have to work at the landscapes today?" I ask him, by landscapes, I mean fear landscapes. That's become a job, and now pretty much everyone who just wants to go through theirs, can go in their.

"yea, he's on break. And speaking of which, I was think that maybe, we could go through our fear landscapes in a few days, when we have that day off." Four asks me, recalling the day that we get off when the first of the initiates become faction-less, I merely nod, when we make it to the mess hall.

"Hey, what took you guys so long? We've been hear for like, fifteen minutes" Christina asks, taking a bite out of the burger.

"Some initiate decides that she doesn't want to shoot the center of the target" Four says, also taking a bite out of his burger after putting ketchup and mustard on it, which I did not discover until Dauntless. "So, I had Zeke go in there until we finished lunch" he finishes, taking another bite.

"Oh look, speak of the devil…" I trail off, looking towards the entrance to see Zoë, with no shoes, and Zeke, with a smirk on his face.

"Tris" Marlene scolds, being the kind heart of the group, "she may have been a pain, but she certainly is not the devil, she is trying as hard as she can" Marlene finish and I chuckle.

"Oh Marlene, I wasn't talking about the initiate" I begin, as Zeke sits at the table, "I was talking about Zeke" I say, with fake enthusiasm leaking from my voice like venom, as everyone laughs but Zeke.

"Wait, what about me?" Zeke asks, as confused as ever, which makes us all burst into another fit of laughter.

"You don't want to know dude, you don't want to know" Four says, laughing still, "so how did you end up getting her to shoot the target?" He finishes, taking the final bite of his burger.

"Well, the reason she couldn't hit it, was because the recoil, it kept knocking her back. So, I glued her shoes to the floor and… BAM, hit the target" he says looking all proud, "Man, I'm so smart, I should have been an Erudite" he says, and begins to eat his lunch.

"First, never, ever say that! And second, that explains why she has no shoes." I say, mainly talking to myself by the second part.

"Yeah, I found out that when you glue something, it stays there!" Zeke replies.

"Really Erudite man, very Erudite!" Four retorts.

"Um, T-Six, what'd you do to piss that kid off, or scare him half to death?" Uriah points to the initiate, Liam. "He has been glaring daggers at the back of your head for the past fifteen minutes" Uriah finishes.

"Oh, She stuck a gun to his neck, and promised to kill him if he back talked her again…" Four responds to Uriah nonchalantly, as if it were nothing new here in Dauntless, which I guess it isn't, at least not during initiation, people get guns stuck to there neck all the time. And get hung over the chasm, and knives thrown at them, you get it.

"GO SIX!" Shauna yells, causing all of the attention in the mess hall to go to her, she just shows her teeth and does this hissing growl sort of thing, and every body turns back to mind their own business. Shauna is always the one to say than women aren't treated right in Dauntless, so anytime a girl stands up to a guy, she throws her own little mini party of empowerment. We all just laugh at her excitement.

"Alright, well we have to get back to training, we'll see you guys later ok?" Four asks, standing up, and they all nod and we bid our good byes, and go off to train initiates for the rest of the day.

***Time skip (sorry, I'm going to try and refrain from doing this as much as I can in the story!)***

It's finally six o'clock, and we are done training, but Tobias said he wanted to go to the pit for a little bit after dinner, before we go back to the apartment. So we head down to the pit.

"Hey Tris, what do you think about maybe getting a tattoo, well both of us getting a tattoo?" he asks hesitantly, I can tell that he doesn't want to upset me by asking. A smile spreads across my face.

"That sounds like a really good idea, what'd you have in mind?" I ask him, the thought of him bringing something like this up excites me, it must be something good if he found the courage to ask me.

"Well, we can go now, and I'll show you?" he returns, as I nod my head 'yes' and he grabs my hand and pulls me over to the little tattoo parlor where only Tori and I work at. He pulls me inside the building and calls over Tori, he whispers something in her ear, and she smiles and nods, grabbing a piece of paper and a pencil. She finishes and asks,

"You ready?" and he nods, and looks to me.

"yeah what is it?" I ask, "Do you trust me?" he retorts, "Yes, of course I do, I just want-" I cut myself short and realize that it's a lost cause to try and argue. They sit me down in the chair, and pull my right wrist towards Tori, also pulling on my shoulder as I wince, but try to cover it as best as I can.

About twenty minutes later, it's all finished and I look to see a black and white 'IV', with black and white Dauntless flames in the back ground and all around it. I marvel at the master piece for several seconds, recognizing that the 'IV' Is roman numerals for four. I smile widely and look up at Tobias, "I love it!" I say, well try, but it doesn't come out any louder than a whisper. I could see the excitement on his face, as he kisses my fore head, and let's Tori tattoo his left wrist.

Another 20 minutes later, and Tobias has almost the exact same thing on his left wrist, except for instead of 'IV', he has 'VI', which I recognize as the roman numerals for six. Tobias looks as happy as ever when while making our way back to our apartment, giving me the occasional kiss along the way.

It's at this exact moment that I realize that my life is perfect. The perfect boyfriend, the perfect job, the perfect friends. And all there is left in life is too see what awaits for me!
