[Three days later]

Bell and Tris training in their fear landscapes after everyone went to sleep for a couple hours and they were at the point where they knew how to maneuver like a Dauntless. Today was another sparring day, and Bella was nervous about what Eric would do.

"Today, we're going to change it up. You're going to spar with weapons." Eric said as everyone gathered in the training hall. "Before people start calling me a monster. They're all fake, but I don't advise getting hit by one regardless." He looked at the board. "Let's do Cristina and Stefan. Pick your weapon wisely." He said and then crossed his arms as he watched Cristina and Stefan take the stage.

Bella looked over the weapons, not paying attention to Cristina and Stefan. She zoned out a little, and then Jasper was standing next to her. He touched her shoulder gently and she glanced over.

"You're zoning out." Jasper murmured low.

"Yeah, just thinking." She said and sighed, she looked up at the stage, and saw Cris brink the pole around and knock Stefan backwards, and then she slammed it against the back of his knees, getting him on his back before she knocked him out. That was going to gain her some points, and it made Bella smile a little

Cristina hopped off the stage, and a couple guys drug Stefan off the stage. Damon had been watching, and he didn't flinch as his brother got his ass handed to him.

Eric called a few other pairings, before he got to Bella. "Bella, Jasper." He said, looking at the board. "Go."

Jasper looked at Bella. He knew what Eric was doing and so did Bella. Bella knew all of Jasper's weaknesses, and Jasper knew hers. It would be a hard match for Jasper, because he cared about Bella. Bella picked up the kali sticks, and tested the weight in her hands. Jasper picked up the pole that Cristina had used. He looked over at her.

"Don't take it easy. I'm getting bored, so make this interesting." Eric said.

Bella took a breath, her eyes not leaving Jasper's before she took the first move. She couldn't hold back if she wanted to last long enough on the stage. Jasper used the pole striking at her fast, and she used the kali sticks to defend against getting hit with that pole. Jasper was the better fighter, she knew it, but she couldn't show any weakness, not now, not in front of Eric.

There was a commotion, that broke Eric's attention on Bella.

"Not another one," Eric cursed, and walked off from the stage.

Jasper and Bella halted their match, to look over at what was going on.

Klaus looked up on stage. "Keep going." He commanded, his eyes looking at his brother.

Magnus nodded. "Yes, keep the match going. Four?"

Four nodded and turned to go see what was happening in the pit.

Jasper looked at Bella, and then sighed. They resumed their fight, and Bella tried her hardest against him. She managed to knock the pole from Jasper's hands, but he was more skilling in hand-to-hand with her, and he managed to slip her kali sticks from her and use them against her. He caught her in the side, and she knew that she would feel that for the rest of the day, and tomorrow, and it was possible he just cracked one of her ribs, but she pushed through that initial pain, catching the next strike on her arm, and she moved in, her body close to his, catching him off guard, and struck him in the throat. It made Jasper stumble a little, but he twisted her, his arms coming around her from behind, locking her arms in place. He laced his fingers behind her head. She wove one of her feet behind his right foot and then with her hip, into his groin she flipped him, his back hitting the stage with a thud, and then she straddled him, her fist coming down and connecting with his jaw, he twisted, throwing her off him, and got to his feet. He moved for her as she got to her feet, but she twisted, acting like she was going to throw a sidekick into his gut, and he dropped his block only for her to spin around, her roundhouse kick catching him in the jaw. He hit the stage, and he was dazed, but not unconscious. As he stood, she hit him with a sidekick, forcing him off the stage. She peaked over the side, and he was spread out on his back, eyes shut. He wasn't unconscious, he just had to pretend he was.

Magnus stepped in before Klaus could. "Good. Next pairing, Tris, Nikki." He said, and Tris and Nikki took the stage. It was an easier opponent for Tris.

Klaus looked back up on the stage, watching Tris, while Magnus went to get Jasper up off the floor. Jasper got to his feet and spit blood off to the side, rubbing his jaw.

"She got you good," Magnus said, looking at Jasper's face.

"Well, she's good with her kicks. I underestimated her." Jasper said.

Bella walked over. "You okay?" She asked, frowning when she saw his jaw, and that he was bleeding a little.

"Nothing that I can't recover from. You did good." Jasper said, smiling.

Magnus looked over at Four walking up. "What's going on?"

"Eric is going to meet with Max. Three recruits, dead in the pit."

"Which ones?" Magnus asked.

"Jimmy, Clarke, and Nick." Four said and sighed, and looked up to see Tris knock Nikki out. "They weren't going to make the cut. They rather…die than be Factionless."

Magnus shook his head. "It's just wrong."

"I know." Four said and looked at Jasper. "Who won?"

"Bella." Jasper said.

Four nodded, looking at Bella. "Good job. Klaus is watching you guys closely."

"We know." Jasper said. "We heard him, and Eric come in and look in on everyone sleeping. He's watching Tris the closest. He wants to wear her down. He thinks he can knock her below the line."

Four frowned. "He'll do anything to try and get her to fail."

"Which why I stuck her with Nikki. With both you and Eric away dealing with…that, I figured that would be an easier mark." Magnus said.

Four nodded. "Yeah. Thank you." He said and then walked over towards the stage to finish up the sparring matches before Eric came in and tried to throw everything off balance again. Jasper followed after him, to check on Tris.

Bella turned and then winced.

Magnus noticed immediately. "Let me see." He murmured and Bella lifted her shirt. The bruise formed on her side. He brushed his hand over her side, palpating gently. "Hmm, not broken. He cracked you good in the side. I was afraid he broke your rib."

"Yeah, feels terrible, but I'll be okay. Nothing a hot shower can't fix." Bella muttered.

"Jasper was trying to hold back too. Afte Eric wasn't watching." Magnus said.

"I know he was. I also know he was pretending to be unconscious, so Klaus wouldn't make him get back up and fight longer." Bella said, letting her shirt drop. "We're almost there." She muttered.

"With the first round." Magnus said, smiling apologetically. "Wrap your ribs tonight before you sleep. The compression will help." He said and then they wandered back over towards the stage for the rest of the sparring matches.

The board updated afterwards, and Bella was placed at fifth now below Peter. Cristina was seventh, Clary, tenth, Will eleventh, Caroline sixteenth, and Tris was twenty-fifth. She was creating a bigger gap, and Bella was sure that Eric wasn't going to like that too much.

Later that night Bella waited until everyone finished showering to take hers. She took it quickly and decided to go out and sit off to herself. She wasn't ready to lay down yet, and she just wanted to think about everything.

"Do you make it a habit to sit all alone?" Eric's voice sounded from behind her.

Bella closed her eyes. She didn't have the energy to listen to him. She stood, turning and looking at him. "Sometimes. Is it against your rules?"

"No, no." Eric said, crossing his arms. "You moved up on the boards."

"I did? Didn't notice." Bella said.

Eric nodded. "You have a smart ass mouth."

Bella shrugged. "This is who I am."

"You're going to go far in Dauntless." Eric complimented her.

"Did someone hit you over the head or something?" Bella retorted. She was suddenly suspicious of him. His tone was normal, not infuriating, or threatening. "What do you want Eric?"

Eric nodded. "Straight to the point I see. How often do you train?"

"Everyday, but you know that. I know you know that a group of us train in the morning. I've seen you watching us. Don't think I don't know that you're trying to push Tris out either. Whatever it is that you have against Abnegation, I don't care. I'm not Abnegation, and neither is Tris. We're Dauntless, regardless of what you think." She stared him down. She was not afraid of Eric.

"You're right. I pick on the stiffs." Eric said. "I'm not going to apologize for it. I think your sister is weak."

"She's not. You're just hellbent on making things unfair."

"Life's unfair." Eric quipped back.

Bella shook her head. "Faction before blood. That is what Jeanine preaches right? Some faction Dauntless is, if low lifes like you abuse their power for their own personal gain." She was close to him, staring up at him since he was taller than she was. She wasn't going to back down. "I despise bullies."

Eric made a hmph sound. "You're bold."

"You make me sick," Bella spat.

Eric then pushed her up against the wall, his face close to hers. "You need to watch your step. Remember who is the leader here."

"Threatening recruits. Original." Bella retorted back sarcastically.

Eric narrowed his eyes at her and then released her before walking away, leaving her to herself.

Bella blew out a breath, swiping her hand through her hair. Anger built in her until she couldn't hold it any longer. She growled, punching straight into the wall behind her, busting her knuckles open. She jogged down to the training hall, taking her anger out on the dummy in front of her. She hit the bag harder than she had before, the blood of her knuckles painting the bag in front of her. She growled against as she busted the knuckles on her other hand from the sheer force of her hits. Someone grabbed her shoulder and she spun, striking out.

It was Magnus, who easily deflected her blow, taking a step out of her swinging range. "Bella, it's me."

Bella looked at Magnus, breathing hard from hitting the bag with all her force. "Sorry." She took a deep breath to steady her heartrate.

Magnus looked at he hands. "Come on." He said, sighing, and led her to his room. It had nice windows that overlooked Brooklyn. His bed was neat, and he had a desk as well, and the lighting was dim. He even had his own bathroom. "Sit." He said, making her sit on his bed while he disappeared into the bathroom, and came back with a wet cloth, and first aid supplies. He gently cleaned her knuckles before bandaging them. "Do you want to talk about why you're so angry?"

"Not really." She muttered.

Magnus nodded. "Okay." He said and then looked up at her. "What happened then?"

"Eric. That's who. He just gets under my skin sometimes, even when I try not to let him." Bella admitted and looked up at Magnus.

Magnus looked back at her, studying her. She was so angry at Eric, and he wondered where most of this anger came from besides Eric being the asshole he was.

Bella looked at her hands. "Thank you." She said and then stood. "Goodnight." She said and left Magnus there to himself. She walked back towards the sleeping quarters, and stopped to look at the wall that she punched, he blood still stained there. She sighed, and turned, running into Jasper. He steadied her. "Sorry." She muttered.

Jasper looked down at her hands. "What happened to your hands?"

"I punched a wall…then the training dummies repeatedly." Bella said. "Magnus found me and bandaged my hands. Nothing is broken." She sighed. "You're not asleep."

"I find it hard to sleep around this time." Jasper said with a small smile. "Want to see the secret spot I found?"

Bella nodded. "Yes, I don't think I can sleep right now anyways." She said and followed Jasper to a fire escape through the window at the end of the hall. They climbed up to towards the roof, but they went through another room. The room was in ruins. Dust was everywhere and it was clear that no one ever came here. "You come here?"

"Yeah, to get away from all…the noise of everything. When I'm not training, I come here to just think about home, on the farm." Jasper explained.

"Do you miss it?" Bella asked, looking around.

"Sometimes. Things were peaceful for the most part. There certainly weren't any Erics lurking around." Jasper said with a small chuckle.

Bella smiled and then turned and looked at Jasper. "I'm sorry for hitting you in the face…. several times today."

"It's not a problem. I rather you hit me in the face than Alec, or Ed." Jasper said and then he reached out to her, grabbing her hand, and turning it over, inspecting it. He looked up at her, moving closer to her, his hand going to her waist. "Can I kiss you?"

"Yeah." Bella murmured, and then her eyelashes fluttered shut as Jasper's mouth covered hers. This kiss was different than the one from the other day. His other hand went to her waist too, as he pulled her against him gently, her body pressed against his. He drunk her in, their tongues sliding over each other, caressing the inside of each other's mouth. She moved her hands over his chest, going to the hem of his shirt and tugging it up, he let her slide his shirt off, her hands trailing over his bare chest, making him shiver. Her kiss became more urgent, as she pressed to him, urging him to move faster, encouraging him to take it to the next level.

His hands pulled her shirt up over her head, and he broke the kiss to look at her. He saw the bruising on her ribs, and he frowned, his hand going to his lightly.

"They're not broken. I'm fine."

"I hurt you…" He murmured. "I-"

"Jasper, we don't have a choice when we're up there sparring. It looks worse than it feels. I promise you." She said and then kissed him again.

Jasper hated that he had hurt her. He didn't want to hurt her ever, and yet, he was pitted against her by Eric. He was number one on the board, and he suspected that Eric would pair them again, just to satisfy his sadistic view. Bella's hand when to his pants, pulling at the button and zipper, and it caused Jasper to break through the fog in his mind to look at her. "Bella…"

"Jasper, I don't want to think anymore." She murmured.

"We can't."

"Why?"

Jasper studied her chocolate eyes. "Because…you're hurting and I don't want you to feel like-"

"This feels right Jasper." Bella said and unzipped the front of her bra, letting is slide away, her breast bare to him now.

Jasper sucked in a breath, looking at how beautiful she was, standing here before him. "Bella, you're beautiful." He murmured.

"Show me." Bella said, and his mouth covered hers again, his heartrate increasing as her hands moved over his chest, and down his abs to his pants. His own hands came up, groping her breast gently, his thumbs rolling over her nipples, causing her to arch in against him, moaning against his mouth.

She managed to undo his pants, and he stepped out of them, and he moved his hands to her pants, which she helped him get off. Before long they were completely naked in each other's arms. The heat radiated from her core, the slickness dripping to her leg, as his hands moved over her breast again, toying with her nipples. She ached for him, the feeling of arousal strong. She had never felt this way before. Excitement coursed through her, as she felt the brush of his swollen cock against her leg.

"Bella, we can stop…if you want to." Jasper said, breathlessly. He didn't want her to do anything she didn't want to do.

"Jasper I'm okay. I want this." Bella breathed and then reached for him, her hand stroking over his long member and he groaned, pushing into her hand.

"Jesus…"He breathed out, and then he kissed her again, his hand going between him to her moist cave, his finger rubbing over her clit, already swollen with arousal, and she moaned again, the feeling igniting her to her core. Her legs were getting weak as he rubbed her nub in tight, fast circles. She felt a building in her abs, and she moaned again as she grew closer to a release. Sensing her need to lay down, he eased with her to the ground, and he slipped two fingers inside her, stretching her gently as he fingered her gently. She arched instinctively up against him, her mouth meeting his again. She felt the tightening in her abdomen signaling the arrival of her orgasm, and she felt it flood her, the release rolling over her from her head to her toes, and she moaned his name as she came hard.

"Now." She breathed, as he hesitated before positioning himself at her entrance, her fresh orgasm wetting his tip, and he pushed himself in just barely, the sensation against his naked tip a new one he'd never experienced before, since his hand was the only thing that had ever pleasured himself before. She was tight, and slick, and he pushed inside her slowly, stretching her more and more until he was sheathed all the way. He sucked in a breath, leaning his forehead to hers. "You okay?" he asked, his voice strained.

"Perfect. I'm not hurting." She murmured.

Jasper nodded, shifting, moving his hips slow, and he moaned. She was so tight, clamping around him, stroking him from all sides, making it hard for him to focus. He picked up his pace some, sliding almost all the way out of her before shoving all the way inside, his tip hitting her from a good angle, and she exploded around him, and he felt it, as she was sent over the edge for the second time. She clung around him, riding the feeling, while moaning his name again. "Faster." She breathed, not wanting the feeling to end, and he obliged, sending her spiraling again. She clenched him tighter with each orgasm, until she felt him swelling tight inside her. He moaned as she moaned, sweat breaking out over them as he clung to his control. He was thrusting into her deep, his tip hitting against her cervix hard, and she rode the wave of pleasure before he was erupting deep inside her. He groaned, his cock twitching with ever spurt, and he pumped his hips a few more times before he stopped, panting.

Part of the physical they receive upon arrival was birth control implants, so Bella didn't worry about what just happened.

They lay like that for a few moments, their breathing calming, and their heart rate returning to normal before he pulled out of her.

"Damn." Bella murmured, feeling relaxed, and completely satisfied. Jasper leaned down, kissing her a few times, before he rolled over onto his back, looking up at the dark ceiling.

"I can't believe we just did that." He murmured.

Bella smiled. "Well, me neither, but I'm glad that we did." She rolled over on her side and looked at him. He looked over at her and grinned. "We should do this more often. I feel less stressed."

Jasper chuckled and pulled her into his arms, her head resting on his chest. "Yeah, beats busting your knuckles on a punching bag."

"Hmm. Yes, this was more fun." Bella said and leaned up and kissed him before moving away, gathering her clothes and pulling them back on.

Jasper followed suit, getting up and pulling his clothes on. They moved towards the window, and Jasper stopped her, pulling her back to him to kiss her one last time before, they went back to their cots. He smiled, and then patted her butt as she went out the window, which had her giggling a little.

They climbed back through the window on their floor and returned to their cots. Bella lay on hers, noticing that Tris was missing. She suspected that she might be with Four, she saw how he looked at her. She smiled and shut her eyes, sleep finding her fast.
