Chapter 13

Chapter 12

"So any of you want to join me?" I say to Tobias, Chris, and Uriah.

"I'm in," says Chris.

"Me Too." Says Tobias with an evil smile spreading a crossed him face. I look at Uriah.

"Ok. Ok. Fine. I'll do it." I smile.

"Oh. The magic of one death stare." Says Chris.

'You know it." I say.

I turn back to the initiates

"Ok. So who's ready to fight?"

Chapter 13

"Anyone?" I say. I looked around the room. The initiates look a little hesitant.

"I will", says Zander as he raises his hand.

"Ok Zander. Who will it be? Me?" I say raising my eyebrows.

Zander shakes his head. "No way. I'm brave, but I'm not insane." I can't help but laugh. A few others laugh too.

Then Anderson decides it's a good time to speak.

"Oh little Zander afraid of a little girl."

"Ok Anderson if you're so tough why don't you fight her." Snaps Zander.

"Maybe I will." Says Anderson a little warily.

"Oh Anderson it's not a maybe. We are going to fight." I say crossing my arms.

"But I thought we get to choose who we fight." Says Anderson in horror.

"I'm in charge I can change the rules. When. Ever. I. Want." I pause between the last few words. He looks petrified.

I look back at Zander. "So Zander. Who will it be?"

"Um… Uriah."

Over the past few minute Uriah had wandered about 100 feet back over to the table where the guns were earlier. He was sitting on it twiddling his thumbs, probably under the assumption that no one wanted to fight him.

"Hey! Uriah!" I yell. He jumps up off the table and nearly falls on his face.

Tobias laughs and says. "Dude. It's time to fight."

He looks confused. "Who on earth wants to fight me?" We all laugh.

"The only person smart enough not to fight me or six and also doesn't want to hit a girl." Says Tobias.

"Oh. That makes sense. Let go." He says running over to the ring like an insane lunatic. Zander follows, but not quite the way Uriah did.

"Ok. This fight will end when one of you is unable to fight any more. Do both of you understand?" says Tobias in a voice that gives even me the shivers.

They both nod. "Begin." Says Christina. And with that the fight begins. Uriah takes the first swing. It hits Zander square in the jaw. He is knocked backwards but regains him self quickly.

Zander and Uriah take turns trying to punch and kick one another. Zander has missed more then Uriah has. They keep punching each other and it's getting boring.

"Ok ladies. Quit the sissy fight. Will ya." I shout. Chris gives me a high five for that one.

Uriah finally stops messing around and knocks Zander to the ground and with one firm kick he is out like a light.

"Ok If you want to fight me don't volunteer to go next cause I have to drag him to the infirmary. How about anyone who wants to fight Christina goes?" Chris gives me the death stare when I say that.

A dauntless born girl, I can't remember her name steps forward as I drag Zander out of the room. Once I'm in the hall way I fling his limp and surprisingly light body over my shoulder and towards the infirmary.

I push open the door and walk to the desk. The nurse looks up.

"Let me guess. First day of fighting." She says with a laugh.

"Yeah. This year I decided to let the initiates try and fight the trainers on the first day of fighting." I say with a laugh.

"Oh. So I guess we should expect some more of these." She says referring to Zanders limp body over my shoulder.

"Yeah. And most of them will be in worse shape then this. Neither four nor I have fought anyone yet."

"I'll make sure we have some open beds."

"Thanks. Now where should I put this one?"

She looks down at her computer. "Um… the people in room 5 are just leaving so put him in there. And if they are still there just ignore them. They should have left by now anyway."

"Ok. " I walk down the hall to room 5. I open the door. Crap! I forgot my parents were in room 5.

"Um… you guys have to leave this room." I say hiding half my body behind the door so they can't see Zanders body.

"Oh sorry we were just leaving. Wait why are you here I thought you were at work?" says my mom.

"I am at work mom." Zander's body is starting to get too heavy.

"Well alright." She says.

I can't take it anymore. I walk fully into the room. I hear a gasp come from my mother's mouth. I put zander's body on the bed. I then proceed to the door.

My father stops me. "What on earth happen to him?"

As causally as possible I say. "Oh it's the first day of fighting." My father looks horrified.

"Dad. He isn't dead or anything."

"This is insane. How can you be ok with this? What did I do to deserve a daughter who is ok with these things?" he says shaking his head.

"Excuse me." I say appalled by what he had said.

"You know what I said." He snaps back.

"This is me dad. You have to learn to accept that and if you can't it's your loss not mine." I snap right on back. I storm out of the room

"Tris wait." He says as he follows me out of the infirmary and towards the training room. Just be fore I enter the training room I stop to see if he was still following me and he was as was my mom and brother. Weird I didn't notice Caleb in the hospital room.

"Ok listen. You can follow me in here, but you say nothing to anyone. Got it?" they all nod. I was kind of harsh, but it was necessary.

I walk in the training room as if they weren't behind me.

"So Six. Are you ready to fight me now?" says Anderson as the dauntless girl from earlier gets dragged off the mats towards the infirmary.

"The true question is are you ready to wake up in the infirmary crying for your mommy?" I catch Chris's eye as I say this and she is struggling to hold back the laughter.

"I'm going no where near the infirmary today. That's going to be you."

Says Anderson in a way that leads me to believe that he thought that was the coolest thing he could have possibly said.

"What ever you say Anderson. What ever you say." I say as I shake my head.

"You two done bitching at each other?" asks Uriah

"Shut up Uriah!" I yell.

"Ok ready?" asks Tobias.

We both nod.

"Begin." And with that I Punch Anderson right in the gut. He stumbles back disoriented. I take this chance to kick his feet out from under him. He falls on him butt. He tries to kick me, but misses.

"You got a try harder then that." I laugh.

I step back and let him get up. He runs towards me. I simply take one step to the left and he flies right past me into the cement half wall that surrounds the ring. He stumbles back to his feet. I stand and laugh for a second.

He stumbles back towards me. It only took one punch to the temple to knock him out. I walk out of the ring and high five Chris.

"That was a nice warm up." I say to Tobias.

He grabs my waist and wraps his arms around me. He kisses my neck. I look up and see my parents and Caleb. They look shocked. I can't help but laugh.

My Dad looks like a bus hit him. Caleb looks like he saw a ghost, but my mom just kind of smiled.

I forgot she was born a dauntless. I wonder if my dad knows. He probably does.

The next few fights were boring. All of the initiates ended up in the infirmary. Finally Brandt stepped up and said he wanted to fight.

"So who do want to fight?" I say.

Hey Ostriches! I tried a new format for my chapters. Let me know what you think. I also want to say, GO TAKE THE POLL! OR REVIEW WHAT YOU THINK! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
