Chapter 11
Tris POV
"Come on guys! Don't stop, keep going!" We're currently in the training room, watching the initiates fight. The first fight is currently Wren and Drake. Wren is
surprisingly good for someone so small. Drake is a taller than her, and more muscular. The thing about small people is they can move faster and smarter. I cringe as
he punches her hard in the jaw. She stumbles, but stays on her feet. She punches him in the stomach, but he ultimately wins with a final punch to the jaw. She lays
on the floor, not moving. Tobias picks her up and walks her to the infirmary. The next fight is going to be interesting: Hannah and Jamie. They're both from Candor,
Hannah is pretty tall and strong looking, and Jamie is about my height and average looking. They seem evenly matched, but that's just my opinion. Tobias returns just in time for the fight.
"Ok! Hannah and Jamie. In the ring." They circle for a few seconds, before Jamie attempts a blow to her face. Hannah dodges, and kicks her in the back. Jamie
stumbles, but regains her balance in time to land an uppercut on Hannah that looks very painful. I think she's through, but amazingly she seems fine. She looks very
dizzy, but she manages to still stand. Jamie finally lands the final blow, and Hannah is out. I give her a few extra points for technique and her strength, even though
she lost. The next fight is boring, but the last one is weird. The only Amity transfer, Amber, against the only Abnegation transfer, Andrew. They both did well with the
bags the other day, and Amber was pretty good at shooting, but overall they both seem pretty weak. I haven't paid much attention to them, since they didn't seem in
dire need of help since they'd been here. They start fighting, and surprisingly Andrew is winning. Usually Abnegation are pretty weak, since we don't do selfish things
like run or workout, so i'm surprised to see him dominating her. Amity's are out in the fields all day, getting tan and strong. I find myself really evaluating these two.
He punches her with surprising force, and when she falls, she gets right back up. She manages to land a few nasty looking kicks to his legs. She finally sweeps his
legs from under him, and he hits his head. She gets on him, and punches him a few times till he's unconscious and she officially wins. Finally, the fights are over, and I can eat. So far, the ranks are:
Drake
James
Jamie
Wren
Hannah
Amber
Andrew
Garrett
Todd
Andie
There were a bunch of fights today, but I didn't care about most of them. I'm really glad Wren is doing so well. I think i'm going to invite her out for drinks tonight. I
like how quiet and powerful she is.
"Hey Tris! Should we go get lunch and discuss how everyone is doing?" Tobias asks. We're walking to the pit for some food.
"Sure. I'm glad Wren is doing so well. She's my favorite initiate so far. Who's yours?" He looks at me funny.
"I'm not sure. I guess Wren also. I don't really focus on things like that." He shrugs and gets a plate and starts putting food onto it. I get a lot of food, mostly mac'n
cheese since it's really good here, and a big piece of cake. We sit and look over the list of initiates.
"So, who do you think will get first in the end?" I roll my eyes at the food in his mouth.
"I'm not sure. Drake seems so strong, I feel like he might be first." He shrugs and takes another bite of his burger. I laugh and take a bite of my mac cheese. I look
around, happy for the first time in a while, and I see Vienna. I wave her over, and she sits down with her food.
"Hey guys! What's up? How did the fights go?" She looks curious as she digs into her food. She got a hotdog and an apple, but didn't get the cake. She'll learn soon enough that you need to get the cake.
"The fights were good. They weren't hurt to badly thankfully. I got to see some really interesting fights. I saw an Abnegation fight against an Amity. Guess who won?"
I raise an eyebrow at her. She shrugs. "The amity?" I laugh.
"You're right. Her name is Amber. She was really good, and so was the Abnegation, Andrew. I didn't know who I expected to win. They both did good. How about
your initiates? Were they good?" She takes a quick bite and gets into the story of how one guy named Wesley who almost knocked the tooth out of another girl
named Sadie.
"She was super pissed, and it really motivated her to punch the absolute crap out of him. I had to pull her off of him. Her tooth didn't come out thankfully. She's
ranked second I think. First is some chick named Zoe. She's a really good fighter." She shakes her head in disbelief. I smile as I take a bite of my cake. So good..
"Well, I think we should go. We're going to a party at Zekes. See you later! Actually, do you wanna come?" I look at her, trying to read her face. She thinks about it
for a moment, before saying sure.
"Great! Meet us at her house in an hour, ok?" I grab Tobias' hand and pull him away. I laugh as I think about how much fun we're going to have tonight.
"I can't wait to see her reaction to her first game of Candor or Dauntless." Tobias says. He used to play with Amar and Zeke before he knew me. I played for my first
time before Tobias and I were dating. We get back to our apartment and start to change. Christina comes over, of course, to help me with my makeup and to make
sure I don't wear something to stupid. We're finally ready just in time. Vienna knocks on the door, wearing jeans and a short sleeved shirt. Uh oh...guess it's time to fill her in on the rules.
"Vienna, the party we're going to, we're going to be playing Candor or Dauntless. In that game, you can either do a dare, answer a question, or pass..and take off an
article of clothing. So, I suggest you wear something else, like a jacket." She looks momentarily shocked, but complies and takes one of my denim jackets.
"So, shall we go?" She asks. She seems scared, but doesn't let it show too much.
"Ok. Let's go have the best night of our lives."
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Next chapter will showcase the Candor or Dauntless, if you have any dares or truths you want shown in the next chapter, PM me them or put them in the reviews and i'll probably use them. Make sure you review, follow and favorite this story for more every couple days! Thank you and bye!
