"I know that you can both through a knife easily but I want to see how far you can through it and still hit the bulls eye every time. Idiot you're up first." Eric say's with an evil grin that looks incredibly hot from where I'm standing.
Tammy steps up and throws her first knife: it hit the bull's eye. She moves back to the next line and throws again: it lands right in the middle of the target. She steps back again and throws: once again the middle of the target but I can see her taking longer to take aim. The process repeats a few more times until she misses the middle of the target.
"Not bad you made it to the 6th line back." Eric says. "Dylan you're up."
I step to the first line and take aim and throw: it hits the middle of the target. I continue to get the centre and before I realise it I am at the 6th line back. If I miss this then Tammy and I draw but if I hit centre I beat her. It would be the first thing I have beaten her at since we were in Amity. I take aim and focus on the knife in my hand and the target in front of me. I block out everything around me and I finally throw the knife at the target. I look at the target and see that I made dead centre. I hear Tammy groan from beside me.
"You're not going to let me forget that are you?" She asks. I smirk evilly and reply:
"What do you think?" She groans again.
"I fucking hate you." She says.
"No you don't." I say smugly.
"You're right, I don't but I'm saying it anyway. It makes me feel slightly better." I can't help but laugh and make my way to the 7th line back.
Once again I take my time while taking aim and then throw: it lands just off centre.
"Well at least you didn't beat me too badly. I don't think I would be able to take the shame…" Tammy says and I laugh. I love beating Tammy.
"Good work Dylan but you won't always have that much time to take aim. You're both going to need to practice; by the end of initiation I want you both at the 10th line back." Eric says.
"Yes sir." We both reply with mock salutes, he just rolls his eyes and tells us to go back with Four to train with the others.
We walk back to the others and train with the knives. We catch everyone's attention with our lethal accuracy and by the time Four shouts that it's time for lunch almost everyone had stopped to stare.
XOX
We walk into the mess hall and are greeted by lots of empty tables, Four let us out a bit early and we take full advantage of that by grabbing the best food and the best table. We had just finished filling up our plates when four boys sit down with us. Two of them sit opposite Tammy and I and the other two take seats on either side of us. We completely ignore them and begin to eat. When they realise neither one of us is going to acknowledge their existence, the one with honey blonde hair speaks up.
"Hi, I'm Carlisle." He says in a smooth voice. Tammy looks at me and gives me a look that says 'who's going to answer him?' I shrug my shoulders and look back at my food; Tammy sighs and looks up to the boys around us.
"I'm Tammy and this arsehole is my sister Dylan." She says.
"Well like I said I'm Carlisle and these guys are Jai, Barney and Corbin." The boy says. "Barney and I are from Candor, Corbin is from Erudite and Jai is from Abnegation."
"We're from Amity." Tammy replies with a small smile just to seem the more polite out of the two of us.
"I noticed you were both missing for the first half hour of training. Where were you?" Corbin asks.
"Well as you probably saw, we are both pretty good with knives so Eric wanted to see how far back we could go until we missed the centre." Tammy says.
"How did it go?" Barney asks.
"I got to the 6th line back." She replies with a small smile.
"Wow that's really good." Carlisle says smiling at her. Time for me to gloat, I say to myself internally.
"I got to the 7th." I say looking at the boys. Tammy scowls but the boys congratulate me and say well done. We chat with the boys for the rest of lunch and 5 minutes before we have to head back, we excuse ourselves and walk back alone.
"You enjoyed that." Tammy says.
"Enjoy what?" I smirk, feigning ignorance.
"Never mind, but remember you only have 24 hours to gloat." She says with a smirk on of her own.
You see, when Tammy and I were younger we used to gloat for days on end about something we had won and in the end we had had enough of each other so we decided to make a rule. If you won something you were only allowed 24 hours to gloat, once that time had ended you weren't allowed to mention it again. This rule probably saved us from murdering each other on many occasions so we decided to keep it. So now I only have 20 hours to gloat before my time is up. To be honest though, that is the last thing on my mind right now. The first, of course, is Eric. He looks incredibly hot when he does that evil smirk and it seems like he does it a lot which means I am 100% screwed if I don't learn to control myself, and the one thing I have never been able to control is myself. I. Am. Fucked.
"Hey, Earth to Dylan." Tammy says, snapping her fingers in front of my eyes. I snap out of my thoughts and focus on her.
"What?" I ask. She groans and repeats herself.
"I said, I bet Six and Four are trying to avoid us. I mean I didn't see them throughout lunch." I can't help but laugh as we walk through the doors to the training room.
"Either that or they found a supply cupboard." Tammy just laughs and nudges me with her shoulder.
"Who found a supply cupboard?" Six says from in front of us. We both look away from each other and at Six and Four sitting on a rock next to the wall. I look back to Tammy and can't help but snigger, she does the same and Four and Six look at us like we're idiots.
"Oh no-one, just thinking out loud." I say which get me another snigger form Tammy. "Did you enjoy your lunch without us or did you miss us." They both glare at me and I have to control myself but, like I said before, that has never been a strong point and my mouth breaks into a grin.
"Why are you back, you have another few minutes before we start hand-to-hand combat for the afternoon." Six says, the annoyance in her voice is clear and just makes me grin wider.
"Like we said this morning, we just love spending time with you two." Tammy says with an innocent smile.
"Now, now, children. Behave." Eric says from behind us, my back goes stiff and he must have noticed because when he comes into view he winks at me before walking over to Six and Four.
"Yes, behave you two." Four say's with smug grin.
"Four, I was talking to you and your girlfriend." Eric replies with that sexy, evil smirk on his face. Tammy and I laugh and Four and Six's faces turn to glare at Eric.
The other initiates start to walk through the door and Four and Six turn the attention away from Eric, Tammy and I and start to talk about hand to hand combat. Tammy and I know most off the moves already and the ones we don't know, we pay special attention to. He finally lets us loose on the punching bags and Tammy and I take the two at the end. I start out on the punches I haven't done in a while and every time my fist comes into contact with the bag, my knuckles sting but I try my best to ignore them. No matter how hard I punch the bag it doesn't move very much and I am starting to get annoyed as the pain starts to become much more present. Suddenly I feel two hands on my abdomen and I freeze, I turn my head around and come face to face with sex on legs (or Eric as most people call him).
"Keep tension here, it will give you more impact on the bag." I nod my head and his hands leave my body, I feel cold without them on me but I ignore it and do as he says. This time, when I punch the bag moves the most it has done since I started. I grin and mutter a thank you; he nods his head and walks back towards Four and Six who look at him in disbelief. I continue hitting the punching bag and after I grew confident with the punches I moved on to the kicks. I completely ignore the looks Tammy is giving me and I just know that as soon as training is over she is going to ask me why Eric had his hands on me. I don't mind at all that he had his hands on me but for some mysterious reason she might not see things the way I do.
XOX
Eventually training finished and Four and Six released us from the training room. Tammy and I walk a few paces behind the others and when she thinks it's safe, she asks the question I knew she would.
"Why was Eric feeling you up?" She demands. I can't help but laugh, I knew she would ask the question but I didn't expect her to phrase it quite like that. She glares at me and I stop laughing.
"He wasn't 'feeling me up' as you so poetically put it, he was helping me." I reply still grinning a tiny bit.
"How does him having his hands on your waist help you exactly?" I smile and am about to answer when she stops me. "Don't answer that." I smile smugly. "How can I phrase this without getting a dirty reply?" She says to herself more than to me." Why did, him having his hands on your waist help you punch better?" She asks after a minute or so.
"He told me to keep tension in my abdomen as it puts more force into my punches." I reply to put her at ease, but still grinned.
"Oh my god, you enjoyed it didn't you?" She asked while groaning. I simply smirked and winked at her before walking into the bathroom we all shared, to have a shower before heading down to dinner.
XOX
For some bizarre reason I'm not tired. Believe me, I have been trying for like two hours and yet the sleep fairy has decided that I don't deserve a visit from her tonight. Eventually I give up, grab my boots and tiptoe out of the dorm. Once I am through the dorm door I slip into my boots and decide to take a walk. I forgot to grab a jumper before leaving the room and I am starting to get cold. After a few minutes of wandering aimlessly I find myself at the chasm. The rush of the water is quite soothing so sit down and dangle my feet over the railing, being the clumsy person I am I decide to hold onto the railing just in case. I am there for what feels like ten minutes before my peace is disturbed by heavy footsteps.
"What are you doing out of your bed at this time of night?" I smooth and sexy voice says. I don't even need to turn around to see who it is; I would recognise that voice anywhere.
"Oh you know, hunting elephants." I say sarcastically and look up to meet his gaze. He smirks and sits down next to me, dangling his own legs over the railing.
"You shouldn't be out of your dorm." Is all he says as he looks out at the water falling down the jagged rocks.
"I couldn't sleep, so I decided to go for a walk and I found myself here, it seems as nice a place as any to just sit." I reply looking at him. He turns his head to look at me and I find myself lost in his gaze. His beautiful blue/grey eyes with hints of silver traps me and I can't bring myself to look away.
"What's stopping you from sleeping?" He asks in a low smooth voice.
"I have no idea. It could be the girls crying or the guys pretending they aren't crying which just makes it more noticeable or it could be the fact that the sleep fairy decided I wasn't worthy of a visit tonight." I reply, my eyes still not moving away from his. He chuckles at the end bit and I can't help but want to hear that sound all the time.
"I have heard a lot of reasons for someone not to be sleeping late at night but the sleep fairy not thinking you are worth a visit is definitely a new one. I'll have to keep that one in mind." He laughs again and I can't help but notice how much younger he looks when he laughs he looks like the 19 year old he is instead of a mid-twenty year old. A gust of wind blows through the chasm and I shiver slightly, he must have noticed because he takes off the hoodie he was wearing and gives it to me, leaving him a tight black t-shirt which makes his muscles much more noticeable than normal. He catches me staring and laughs. "Here put this on, it'll warm you up a bit." I nod and pull the jumper over my head and put my arms through the correct holes. It smells like him, like cinnamon and pine trees, and he's right it does warm me up a bit. It's far too big for me but I don't care, it's warm and smells like him so I just mutter thanks and look back out at the chasm wall.
"I never asked; why are you not in your bed sleeping?" I ask him.
"Couldn't sleep so, like you, I decided to go for a wander." He says and checks his watch. "It's almost 3 in the morning and you have a long day of training so you should really head back to the dorm." I nod and yawn. He stands up and offers me a hand which I gladly take. His hands are warm and calloused and his touch on my skin sends a bolt of electricity through my veins. I begin to take off the hoodie but he grabs both my wrists and stops me. "Keep it, because I don't think this will be the last time you decided to go wandering without a jumper of your own." He says with a teasing smirk, it makes him look even hotter than should be legal.
"You're probably right." I say trying to prevent myself from blushing as his hands are still on my wrists. He must have noticed because he smirks and let's go.
"Good night, Dylan." I frown slightly.
"How do you know its Dylan I could be Tammy?" I question. He smirks again and leans down to whisper in my ear.
"I always know when it's you, Dylan." He whispers then turns and walks away. I stand there for a minute then decide to do as he says and head back to my dorm. I crawl under the covers without taking off his hoodie and find myself falling asleep.
What did you guys think? Was it good? Let me know.
Until next time,
