Chapter 10
A/N I know the recent chapters have been short but thats because Four doesn't come in much. For future matters I have not read Free Four I know where it starts because my friend told me so if anything is the same it is merely coincidental.
I'm in my room and I can't sleep. Normally I would go over to Khole's to talk but she's not here. I'm writing down the names on the chalkboard based on the list Eric gave me but I stop short when I get to Tris's. Eric matched her with Peter. I know that I should change it but when Eric sees it he will throw me against the wall and for once in Dauntless I would like to keep all my body parts intact. I just leave it as it is and hope that Tris doesn't get killed.
"When the initiates come in I see they're faces. I mostly look at Tris's to see how she reacts to being matched with Peter. I can hear Christina and she says "Oh no." She looks really mad. "Are they serious? They're really going to make you fight him?" Because I left yesterday I didn't see who Peter was against. I figured it was Drew because he looked like he had been colored with paint over night.
"Maybe you can just take a few hits and pretend to go unconscious," I heard Al suggest to her. "No one would blame you."
"Yeah," She agreed. "Maybe." I have complete faith in Tris but her friends don't.
"You okay there, Stiff?" Peter asks her. "You look like you're about to cry. I might go easy on you if you cry."
I see her look over at me and then to Eric who is making me nervous because he's tapping his foot 20 times a minute.
"Come on, Stiff," he says taunting her. "Just one little tear. Maybe some begging."
The first move she makes is kicking him in the side until he catches her foot and she falls on the floor.
"Stop playing with her," Eric snaps. "I don't have all day."
The next thing I see is Peter hitting Tris right in her jaw. Next he kicks her in the stomach and then her nose. I finally get up and leave. I go to my room and I think about Cloe a lot she should still be here with me and Eric should still be in Erudite.
