A/N: Hey guys! I'm back. I'm already making the draft for the next few chapters and (DUN-DUN-DUDUDUNN!) a new story.
I'm going to make a deal to you guys. If I get about 50-70 reviews in the next three days (April 16-18), I'll update 2 to 4 chapters. (Depends on the number of reviews)
If I get more than 70 on April 18, I'll make a chapter from a different character's POV. Either Uriah, Zeke, Christina, or Will (you guys choose, based on the most number of requests)
Now, the POV will be Lauren's. Enjoy
Lauren POV
Chicken fight? Is that what Zeke and Uriah can think of? Now, because of dear Lynn's idea, I'm stuck in pairing up the fights. I expected that I'll at least do some fighting, but no. I'm here, pairing people to punch each other.
Thanks Lynn
Thanks.
Since I want to see damage done on other people's face, so I paired Zeke and Shauna to Will and Christina. I think Marlene brought some bandages and alcohol, so we don't have to worry if either Christina or Shauna falls to the rocks.
That leaves Uriah and Marlene against Four and Tris. This is going to be fun. Marlene and Tris are like sisters, so they can't bring to hurt each other. Let's see who'll be the first one to crack and push the other off.
If I have to bet, I'll bet on Zeke and Shauna. They are both 19 and are strong. Sure, Will is big and Christina is a bit quick, but you need brawl in this game, which Christina does not haveā¦much.
On the other hand, I'll bet on Four and Tris. They know each other very well. Four's big and strong and Tris has muscle. I'm not saying Marlene doesn't have any, but Uriah would probably fall on the sea bed the moment Four helps Tris.
I'm really hoping Marlene brought bandages.
I call Lynn and tell her the pairings. She smirks at the idea of her sister fighting Christina and Will.
"She's so gonna lose" she says to me.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah! Christina can kick ass. Remember, she knocked out two guys who threatened Will. Even managed to disconnect the arm of the third one."
"Still doesn't prove anything"
"She's a guard, near the factionless area. A girl like her would be like prey in the eyes of those sick bastards in there. It's a miracle she survived the first few months. A few of the Dauntless guards who are girls wanted to change their post after a few weeks due to 'activities'"
"You want to bet?"
Lynn smirks, "Sure"
"The loser will tattoo the winner's name on their forearm"
"And they will have the word 'Loser' tattooed on the other arm"
"In big letters?"
"In epic fonts"
"Deal"
We shake our hands and swim back at them.
"What about Four and Uriah? Who would you bet?" she asks
"Four" I answer
"So, our bet would not work on their fight?"
"Why?"
"I bet on Four and Tris"
I smile. I guess me and Lynn do have something in common.
"Okay pansycakes! Front and center, now!" I shout military style. I was standing on a small clump of rock that was lined with white rocks. I saw a sea urchin near it but it got carried away by the current. Buh-bye, urchin.
We found a large circle in the middle of some rocks. The ground had shells, which pinches your feet if you happen to step on them. Some of the rocks were small enough for us to sit on.
They all swim towards me and Lynn. They didn't appear to be training, the have sand all over their bodies. I think Uriah has a seaweed moustache and beard on his face, including a seaweed crown designed with shells. I think I'll ask Marlene about it, or not.
"After our little deliberation," Lynn makes air quotes on the word deliberation, "we have now decide the pairings"
They all leaned in to listen to us. It's kind of ticking me.
"Hey! She said she's going to tell you the pairings for the chicken fight, not your rankings in the initiation!" I say to them. Some of them smile but they all gave us some space.
"The first one to fight will be Zeke and Shauna against Christina and Will" Lynn says, her voice loud. She could be an initiate trainer, with the loud voice and intimidating demeanor (but not as intimidating as Four's). If only she didn't hate the others so much.
I see Zeke grin at Shauna, who was on his shoulders. Christina gets on Will's shoulders and holds on to her ankles. I motion the others to get back and give them room.
The two pairs stand face to face with each other, eyes filled with desire to win (like every Dauntless member has)
Lynn swims in the middle of them and begins explaining the rules.
"Listen up. The objective of this game is to push the other off. Punching is acceptable, but not kicking. Spitting in the face is foul play and will result in a sand ball to your face from me. The boys cannot fight the other girl or the other boy. You are only there for movement, so you better listen to the bitches on your shoulders. Understand?" They nod.
"Okay, begin!" she says and swim off.
Zeke and Will circles each other while Christina and Shauna have their hands up. Suddenly, Zeke runs up to them, his movement slackened by the water current, and close the distance between them.
Christina dodges a punch from Shauna and punches her in the stomach. Shauna groans but punches Christina's left shoulder, making her left arm slack.
"Isn't that foul play?" Tris asks me. She still isn't on Four's shoulders, but she is sitting on a rock beside me. I look at her and smile.
"Don't worry. It's foul play if you completely numb that body part"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not in the mood to explain. Ask your boyfriend, he's smarter" I reply.
She blushes when I said your boyfriend. But she swims towards Four and leaves me alone.
When I look back at them, Shauna had a cut lip and her cheek was swollen. Christina's nose was bleeding and the bridge of her nose was crooked.
Then suddenly and unexpectedly, Will lunges forward for Christina to push down an unaware Shauna.
She and Zeke fall to the water with a splash. When they resurface, Shauna was smiling and congratulated Christina. I heard her say, "That was an awesome uppercut. You have to teach me how to do it"
Suddenly, I hear Lynn whisper, "I'll escort you to the tattoo parlor after the trip"
"Okay! Christina and Will wins! Marlene, go bandage Shauna up. We'll start the next round after you're done" Lynn shouts.
Marlene goes down from Uriah's back then swims towards Shauna. She leads her to sit at one of the rocks as she gets her bag which was, surprisingly, in Tris and Four's little rock.
While Marlene was treating Shauna's wounds, Uriah swims up to me.
"We have to battle Four?" he asks. I nod
"But Tris is gonna kick Marlene's ass!" he complains.
"Not my problem"
"But you were the one who planned it"
"You didn't hear Christina and Will complaining"
He was silent for a moment then swims away. I see at the corner of my eye that Tris is trying to keep herself steady on Four's shoulders. I'm starting to doubt about my choice, but we don't have a bet going on for their fight so I shrug it off.
Marlene swims back with a bruised Shauna. Her wounds were now closed so no other infection would happen. I'm suddenly happy that Marlene decided to be a nurse.
"Four, Uriah, fight starts in a minute" Lynn shouts.
The two of them walks to the center with the girls on their shoulders. Lynn looks at them and says, "I already said the rules last time and I'm not going to repeat it. If you didn't listen then boohoo"
She swims out of the fighting range and signals that the fight starts.
They lunged at each other. Marlene punches Tris as she receives a punch in the gut. Tris punches Marlene on the face and hit her nose. Marlene also throws another punch and it made Tris' arm bruise.
The two girls were throwing punches at each other while the boys try to stand up and not fall.
The fighting was longer than Christina's and Shauna's, but not that long. I hear a splash and Marlene screaming, "What the fuck, Uri!"
"I didn't know there was a hole in there. My foot just slipped and-"
"That's not why I'm angry. Why did you have to land on me?"
"I didn't know!"
They continue bickering until Lynn cuts them off. "You sound like you just found out Dauntless cake wasn't real"
I swim over to Christina and ask her to bandage the girls, which she gladly accepted. Christina pulls Marlene and Tris towards the place where Marlene had set up her little clinic.
I go to Four, who was following Tris.
"You do know you're going to fight Christina and Will?" I ask him. He just nods.
"Why the hell are you so calm? Don't you know you have a chance in losing because Tris and Christina treat each other like sisters?"
"Nah, Tris is more than that. She can handle it" He answers before swimming of toward the girls.
I head over to Will and Christina. "Okay guys, you guys are going to fight Four and Tris in about ten minutes. Get ready"
Ten minutes later, Four, Tris, Christina and Will were now ready to start the fight.
"Ready, GO!" Lynn shouts and backs away.
The fight was quick and painful. Numerous punches were flying at each other. The boys had trouble keeping the girls up.
I wonder who is going to win. And as if by cue, Lynn walks up to me.
"I vote Christina and Will" she says to me
"Why do you like them so much?" I ask
"It's not that I like them. But, from what I have observed, the person you least expected comes out on top, like when Zeke had an arm wrestling competition with a 15 year old, he lost"
"What will the loser get?" I ask her
"The words, 'I'm a loser, hear me roar' on their upper back. It has to be big and striking"
"What? That's not fair! Mine can be seen, while the one who loses now can hide the tattoo" I complain at her.
She sighs, "Fine, the loser will THEN have to wear a shirt where the back can be seen. The hair must be pulled up."
"You don't have hair, Lynn"
"Who says I'm losing?"
All of a sudden, Christina yelps and falls down the water. Tris was bruised and wounded but otherwise okay. I feel a smile on my face and I see a scowl on Lynn's face.
"I win"
A/N: Hey guys! Thanks by the way for the reviews and favorites :D
Remember, 50-70 reviews in the next three days (April 16-18) = 2 to 4 chapters. (depending on the number of reviews)
If I receive more than 70, I'll make a chapter from either Uriah, Zeke, Christina or Will's POV. Your choice :D (One choice can transform you - Divergent XD)
See ya *waves*
