Tris POV
Carol's eyes go wide and she runs over to him. "Noah? Noah can you hear me?" She asks.
Tobias leans over and picks Noah up. His eyes flutter. He is awake. I say nothing and pretend not to notice. Carol, on the other hand, didn't notice and is on the verge of possible emotional break down.
"Carol I guess you'll be fighting Chris and Noah will have to sit this one out." Tobias says to her. She bits her lip and nods.
When Tobias leaves the room Melissa and Paul go to the center of the room. Everyone else steps behind the railing and watches.
"He's okay." I whisper to Carol. She looks at me puzzled. I just nod at her and revert my attention to Melissa and Paul.
Melissa gets a few good hits in, but Paul plays dirty, even if it's against a girl. He rams her in the chest and she's in pretty severe pain. When she's not looking she kicks her feet out from under her. Unconscious.
Tobias walks in and without saying a word looks at Melissa. Paul stands there crossing his arms with a cocky smile.
"Take her to the infirmary." Tobias says. Paul's eyes look different. He looks less confident.
"What?" He croaks. Paul is strong but probably not strong enough to carry an unconscious Melissa to the infirmary. She has more than a little meat on her.
"You heard me." Tobias says. Paul makes a weird sound of annoyance and weakness. When Melissa is draped in his arms the sight makes me want to start laughing.
Paul waddles out of the room, red faced. I sneer.
"Noah will recover." Tobias says to everyone. He turns to Carol and says "Quickly." She lets out a huge sigh of relief.
When Chloe enters the ring with David, she looks fearful. The Abnegation is me is scared for her but then I hear the little voice in my mind. She kissed your boyfriend. Kick. Her. Ass.
I feel Tobias wrap his arm around my waist and I smile. My attention stays locked on the ring, waiting for something to happen.
David makes the first move. He punches Chloe in the jaw and I think I see blood. I move my lips to one side of my face. Chloe punches back, her knuckles turning and cutting his face.
I wait for David to react. Nothing.
Chloe kicks him in the stomach and knocks him to the ground. David closes his eyes. He is pretending to be unconscious.
He likes Chloe. Ew.
David is declared unconscious and dragged out of the ring. Carol throws someone water in his face and he is instantly awake. I knew it.
Paul returns out of breath and tired. I he managed to get her there fairly quick.
Carol and Chris. I would say they're evenly matched. Carol is petite and Chris is lanky, that's about the only difference. They're both skinny with little muscle and have the same number of wins and loses.
I want him to stay away from Carol's nose but I also want to see if he is smart enough to expose her weak points.
The fight starts with Carol ramming Chris to the floor. She sits on top of him and punches around his face.
"I never knew munchkins were this vicious!" He yells. I suppress a smile.
Chris is deemed unconscious after a long time of smacking. He could have easily turned Carol over but didn't.
Tobias hauls Chris up. "Well enjoy visiting day tomorrow. We'll see you at eight o'clock sharp that night to show your scores."
He leaves the room with Chris. Carol dawdles behind everyone until they leave. Once everyone is done Carol looks at me. "You really think Noah is going to be okay?" She asks. I nod leaning against the rail.
"His eyes fluttered when Four picked him up to take him to the infirmary." She sighs and sits on the table.
"My parents aren't going to come tomorrow. They hate Dauntless." She says.
I shrug with my eyebrows. What am I supposed to say to that?
She lowers her head. "They wanted me to stay home and marry our neighbor." She says quietly. I look at her.
"Seriously?" I ask. She nods.
"He was a total, what's that word? Pansycake?" She says.
I laugh and nod.
She gives me a smile and hops off the table. "I'm gonna go." She says.
I smile and shoo her away. At the same time she opens one of the double doors the other one opens.
Tobias walks in. He says nothing but grabs my hand. His face is white and I say nothing.
He takes me to the control room. What was he doing here?
"Tris. He's here." He says and points to the screen.
The screen holds Max and Marcus together talking. Max is giving Marcus a key. Marcus laughs and walks out of the room.
"Lets go home and determine transfer rankings." I suggest. All he can do is stare at the screen.
I grab his hand and pull him to our apartment. When we get in he sits on the bed shoes and all. He pulls his knees up to his chest like a little boy.
"He's in Dauntless." Tobias says. "He's here."
And then there is a knock at the door.

200 reviews! YAY! Thank you guys SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! You are awesome! I am sorry this chapter is short. I'm trying to work on making them longer but that's very hard for me. Anyways…. I might update later but I'm going to my friend's (Named Chloe! (AH!)) Gymnastics meet. (For the record my friend Chloe is pretty, fun and nice. She would never break up Tris and Tobias….. But she was my basic idea for the character, physically I mean) So if I update it will be late around midnight (New York time)
Bye!
