Hey guys, so I'm going to go watch the divergent movie today! I'm so excited! :D
Tris POV
I eventually walk back into my own dormitory, and fall asleep as my head hits the pillow.
I dream of myself hanging on the railing again. And before I know it, my alarm sounds and I get up.
As I walk over to the Pit, I see Andrew. His face is bruised and he winces as he chews his muffin, but I smile at him. Hopefully he won't get cut.
I walk to the training room and see Jacob writing out the names again.
Alec vs Carlos
Arianna vs Andrew
Jack vs Uriah
Wilson vs Maddie
Tris-
I stand against the wall temporarily. Uriah stands by me.
"How are you feeling?" He asks.
"Fine" I say quietly as Alec beats Carlos unconscious.
"You should have punched me unconscious." He said quietly.
"No I shouldn't, that's not necessary." I reply.
Arianna and Andrew step into the arena.
Andrew and Arianna are both unaggressive. They throw weak punches.
"Thank you Tris." He says.
"It's nothing." I reply. "Do me a favor? Kick Jack's ass for me."
He smiles, "No prob."
Finally, Andrew punches Arianna in the nose. She falls and is too dizzy to get up.
Four picks her up and takes her to the infirmary.
Andrew comes to stand by me.
"Good job." I say quietly.
He looks guilty, "Thanks"
Andrew reminds me of Al. A lot. His honesty, his body size, and his attitude. I tense as I think of Al though. What he did to me and what he did to himself.
I look up and see Uriah give a devastating blow to Jack's nose.
There is a sickening crack and soon enough, Uriah has punched Jack unconscious.
Jacob heaves him out this time. His body is already swollen, and bruises are forming.
He stands by me, "That good enough?"
"Good job." I smile smally and he grins.
After Wilson beat Maddie, we get up to eat lunch.
By the time I get to the Pit there are hardly any seats left. I find a seat across from Tobias. He doesn't notice me.
Maddie sits next to him, a flirtatious smile on her face. I stifle a laugh. The bruise on her nose makes her look like a clown.
"You are such a wonderful instructor Four." She whispers and places a hand on his shoulder.
I think I am going to vomit, so I focus on my food
He drinks his cup, "What makes you think you can talk to me?" He looks at her, unamused. I smirk. That's the exact phrase he said to me a few years ago.
"Why can't I? I like you Four" Her voice chokes on her food and she coughs with embarrassment.
He looks up and we meet eyes. I bite my lip to keep myself from laughing. He smirks at her, "Cause I can't show hatred for the initiates, or else I'll be unfair wouldn't I?"
LINEBREAK
We meet back in the training room.
"We're going on a field trip." Four and Jacob say.
"Where?" Alec asks.
Jack comes back, there is a huge bandage near his nose. Uriah looks triumphant.
"You'll see. Meet us by the tracks in 5 minutes." Jacob replies.
We jog up to the tracks. I grab a gun and a box of paintballs, as does everyone else.
The train arrives. Four and Jacob get in with ease. The rest of the initiates scramble. I go before Uriah, and leap in easily, Uriah close at my heels.
Four says after everyone is in the train, "We will be diving you all into two teams to play capture the flag, a Dauntless tradition. Each team will have an even amount of initiates. Both transfers and Dauntless-born"
He turns to Jacob, "You can pick first."
"Uriah." He says.
"Tris." Four replies.
"Alec" Jacob points.
"Wilson"
"Jack" I feel sympathy for Uriah. Jacob has the exact same philosophy as Eric, which isn't the smartest.
"Carlos"
"Maddie"
"Andrew"
"Ariannas with me then." Jacob says. "Dauntless born initiates next."
After they finish dividing, our team jumped off first.
"Where should we hide the flag." A Dauntless born initiate says.
"I have an idea," I say and take the flag from a Fours hand.
I run to the Ferris wheel. "You guys watch guard." I say and start climbing the rungs.
"Tris, no! That will show them right where we are!" Andrew says.
"That's the point." I keep climbing and tie the flag on a spoke of the Ferris wheel. I am high enough and look around, spotting the other teams flashlights. The flag on one of the top branches of the tree. It glows green.
"Well explain then." Wilson crosses his arms.
I climb down carefully. "Ok I know it's visible. But do you guys honestly think someone will be able to succesfully climb the ferris wheel, and untie that flag, with our defense and speed?" I point up at the wheel. The flag is at least 60 feet above us.
I glance at Four. He looks impressed, and I suppress a grin,
"Plus Ive located the other team's flag while up there. It's dangling from one of the trees in that direction." I point again.
Everybody nods, impressed with my thoughts.
"Wow, you've got it all processed out. So what's the plan Stiff." One asks.
"We need more defense than offense. Jacob's team is full of aggressive people, so they are most likely all coming for the flag. So most of the defense will engage in more fighting than our offense team." I say.
Everyone is speechless.
"Dude Stiff you sure you're not Erudite in disguise? That was brilliant." A Dauntless born says.
I flush a little, thank god it's dark.
Tobias POV
As Tris climbed the Ferris wheel, I think of the last time I did that, and shudder.
When she explains while climbing down, I nod approvingly. Her Erudite is definitely showing.
We divide the team into two. And Tris and I advance to capture the flag.
"That was smart Tris." I say quietly.
"Thanks." She replies.
We approach the flag. I load my gun and analyze the defense. there are two guards.
Arianna and Maddie.
"The flag is high, so I'll climb then." she says
"Leave the guards to me." I smirk.
I sneak up and fire two quick shots. The paintballs smash against Maddie's back and she turns, her face flushed with anger. However she changes immediately when her eyes meet mine
"Hey Four." She says, "I can give you that flag for a trade of a kiss?" She smiles
Arianna runs away, so it's just me and Maddie, behind her I see Tris climbing the tree.
Maddie walks toward me, I don't budge. She smiles and drops her gun.
I look up and see Tris almost to the flag.
'I have to keep her distracted.' I think
"Its not smart to drop your gun Maddie." I say.
"Why should I worry when I have you by my side?" She says innocently. I wait til she is within two feet of me.
"Especially if I'm by your side." I smirk and raise my gun and fire.
The paintball splatters on her face and drips down her chest. She screams in pain.
Above Tris whoops loudly, swinging the other teams flag. The game is over.
Review please!;)
