Time Skip: (Hand to Hand Combat Training)
Tris walks back to the Training Center and makes her way to the punching bad next to Christian and Al. Tris starts punching and kicking very fast letting all her stress away. The whole room stops and stares. Some in awe and other in jealously and envy. Tris realizes she's the center of attention and begins to blush and continues to hit the punching bag like everyone else. Tris was about to spark a conversation with Christian when she hears Four and Eric whispering about the initiates.
"You ready for some real fighting?" Eric asked Four smirking and looking at everyone in the room. Four looks around and he and Tris make eye contact for a couple of minutes before Tris breaks it.
"Not even close" Four says crossing his arms before glancing at Tris and walking with Eric to the ring. Four turns to Eric whos continuing to smirk.
"First jumper, in the ring. Last jumper, time to fight." Eric yells getting everyone's attention. Tris turns around in shock and walks over to the ring, along with Molly. Tris crosses her arms and starts examining her chances of winning and it's about a 45% chance, if she plays offence instead of defense. Tris is brought out of her trance by Molly's question.
"How long do we fight for?" Molly asked with an eyebrow raised. Eric smirks and is about to speak but Four jumps in.
"Since today's the first day, you guys will fight until someone is pinned for 3 seconds." Four says to everyone including Eric. Eric rolls his eyes and crosses his arms again. Tris gets the strange feeling that Four was trying to save her but quickly shakes off the feeling and starts listening to Eric and Four talk but only catches Four's last remark to Eric.
"Lucky for you, those weren't the rules when we fought." Four says with a smirk. Eric glares at Four before rolling his eyes.
"You'll be scored on this, so fight hard." Eric says looking at the Clip board. "Go." Tris and Molly enter the ring. Molly charges for Tris and she easily dodges. Tris dodges Molly's hits/punches and grabs. Tris finally throws a hard punch at her stomach causing Molly to bend down and Tris sweep kicks Molly to the floor and pins her to the ground.
"One, Two, Three! Winner Tris!" Four says trying to contain his proud smile. Eric nods his head in approval and marks down on the clip board. Tris walks over to her friends and begin to talk for about five minutes before Eric gets everyone's attention.
"Alright, guys, over here. Listen up." Eric yells to everyone. Tris and her friends start walking over to Eric and Four who are standing by a huge board. Tris walks towards the front of the crowd. "Know what this board is? It's your life. We grade you every day, if you're still in the red by the end of the first stage, you're out. And that ends in a week." Eric says to everyone. Tris looks up at the board and sees that she's ranked 2nd. Tris smiles and walks over to Christian.
"Wow you did amazing! We should celebrate making it above the red line by getting some tattoos." Christina says smirking. Tris nods her head and smiles.
"My brothers are going to be pissed… But whatever they'll live." Tris says with excitement evident in her voice. She and Christina walk over to Al and Will. Christina shakes her head and laughs.
"Hey guys were going to get tattoos are you guys down?" Christina asked with a smirk evident in her voice. Al looks at her like she's crazy and Will nods. After about 5 minutes of Al debating in his mind he finally agrees. "Okay let's go!" Christina said before they start walking out the training center and they start heading towards the tattoo parlor. Tris and her friends make it to the tattoo parlor and Christina is off. After a couple of seconds Christina comes back with a tattoo plate.
"Wow that was fast. Which one you getting?" Will asked with a small smile. Christina looks at him and smiles back before handing him the plate.
"You like?" Christina asked everyone but mostly Will.
"Yeah." Will says nodding. "Where would you put it?" Will asked in a suggestive way. Christina bits her lip and takes the tattoo plate back and glances at it before looking back up at Will.
"I don't know, where would you suggest?" Christina says flirting back before winking. Tris notices the two flirting and shivers, walking away from them looking for a tattoo. As Tris starts looking she notices a lady cleaning the tools and almost instantly recognizes the lady who did her aptitude test and approaches her.
"Remember me, right? I was…I was just wondering if you coul-" Tris was cut off sharply by Tori. Tris gives her a look and Tori stares at her emotionless.
"No. I just do tattoos." Tori says before turning around a cleaning the equipment again. Tris nods her head and grabs a tattoo of 3 birds flying. Tris notices when she walks back to Tori that is still turned around. Tris knocks softly on the walk which causes Tori to turn around.
"I'd like this one. On my collarbone please." Tris says with a small smile. Tris sits in the chair and just as Tori was about to tattoo her when Tris gets a curious look on her face. "Can I just ask yo-? Tris tried to ask but gets cut off again.
"You made a mistake choosing Dauntless. They'll find out about you…" Tori says looking around making sure no one was listening to their conversation. Tris sits up slightly and scowls at her.
"What do you mean "You made a mistake choosing Dauntless?" You do know my name is Tris Pedrad. My parents Amber and Nick Pedrad." Tris says slowly. Tori's eyes get big and stares at her wide eyed. Tris nods her head. After a couple minutes of silence Tori finally responds.
"But I saw you, and you were in Abnegation…How was that possible?" Tori asked in disbelief. Tris snorts and rolls her eyes.
"Whale I was taking a vacation for two years and Max told me to come back after the two years become Dauntless. He's like my dad so he let leave." Tris says shrugging slightly. "So whos after me?" Tris asked again.
"People you're a threat to." Tori says in a low voice. Tris looks at her confused.
"What people? The Dauntless?" Tris asked getting a little bit annoyed at the fact Tori won't give her a straight answer.
"The whole society. If you don't fit into a category, they can't control you." Tori tells Tris in the same low voice as before.
"I don't get it. I'm Dauntless. I'm going to be the best at Dauntless, I was born Dauntless." Tris says with confidence. Tori gives her a sad smile filled with sympathy and turns off the machine and takes the cover off of her tattoo.
"In your case, I hope so." Tori says before getting up and turning around cleaning the tools. Tris gives one more glance to Tori before walking out of the tattoo parlor with her friends. Tri waves goodbye to her friends and walks home. Katniss opens her door and walks upstairs and hears faint snores. Tris walks into her room and changes into black sweats and a black tank top and puts her hair up into a messy bun before she tries to get some sleep. Tris rolls around in her bed and finally gets up and heads to the training center and starts punching the punching bag. Tris turns around when she hears the door closed only to see Four standing in the door way.
"You shouldn't you be sleeping?" Four says walking over to her. Tris snorts and turns around.
"And shouldn't you be somewhere else? I don't know be with your girlfriend or your friends…" Tris asked rudely. Four laughs and puts his bag on the table next to Tris.
"I don't have a girlfriend and what crawled up your ass and died?" Four asked giving her a fake smile. Tris rolls her eyes and turns back around and starts punching the bag again. Tris feels Four's eyes on her and she continues to punch the bag when she feels Four's hands on her waist. Tris jumps and turns around blushes.
"What are you doing?" Tris says trying to hide her blush. Four smiles and shakes his head before moving her hip a position then kicking her feet into the position.
"Your form is weak." Four says looking at her. "You're never going to win like that, you have to use your whole body and keep tension here." Four tells her as he puts his hand on her waist. Tris shivers and continues to blush. Four removes his hands and stands back. Tris takes a deep breath and begins punching and kicking the bag. Tris looks at her form trying to remember and turns around giving Four a small smile.
"Thanks…For the tip." Tris says shyly. Four nods his head.
"Go on offense. You're fast, so you could win if you attack first." Four tells her. "You get into the side, you jab 'em in the throat." Four says before picking up his back and leaving Tris in the training room. Tris smiles a little and begins training again.
TIME SKIP (To Training the Next Day)
Tris walks over to the fight between Molly and Christina. Molly continues to punches Christina. Tris brings her hands to her face. Molly continues to keep beating Christina until Christina crawls out the ring.
"No. No. I'm done. I'm done." Christina says barley above a whisper. Eric walks over to them and crotches down next to Christina whos coughing up blood.
"You need to stop?" Eric asked Christina way too nicely. Christina nods her head slowly. "Okay. Let me give you a hand." Eric says before he extends his hand to Christina who hesitates for a moment before taking it. Eric helps her up and puts an arm around her.
"Thanks." Christina mutters in a low voice.
"Alright, let's everyone take a break!" Eric yells while he motions for everyone to follow him. Tris walks not trusting Eric's motives at all. Christina turns her head around to Tris and looks at her with a face full of fear. Tris gives her a look that says "I've got you." Christina nods a turns back to Eric.
"You, uh…you're feeling a little better?" Eric asked as they approach a bridge. Tris eyes gets big and walks close to them to hear their conversation.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Christina says giving a small smile. Eric nods his head and continues to lead everyone onto a bridge that stands over a chasm. Suddenly Eric pushes Christina off, but he manages to hold her hand letting her dangle over the edge of the bridge. Tris's eyes go wide and moves close to where Eric and Cristina are.
"Grab the rail, we're done." Eric says with a smirk evident in his voice. Christina grabs the rail as she dangles on the edge of the bridge. "You've got three options. One you can hang there and I'll forget your cowardice. Two you could fall and die, or three you could give up. But if you give up you're out." Eric tells Christina sternly. Christina hangs on for dear life as Eric times her.
"Come on Chris! You can do it." Tris says loud enough for Chris and Eric to hear. Eric watches Christina as she struggles to hang on.
"Time!" Eric yells. Tris and Will both run out onto the bridge and pulls Christina up. "Remember initiates Dauntless never give up." Eric says before dismissing people. Tris pulls Christina into a hug. Eric watches them hug and tells everyone to go back to the training center and there's one more fight. "Peter and Tris." Eric announces as everyone walks into the training room. Tris walks to the ring when Four grabs her and pulls her a side.
"Remember what I said about attack? First shot right to the throat, and you watch him. He steps before he punches. Alright?" Four tells her in a low voice. Tris nods her head and steps into the ring where Peter is waiting.
"Alright there, Tris are you about to cry? I'll take it easy on you if you cry." Peter says winking at her. Tris snorts and gets into the form/position that Four taught her. Tris hears Christina cheer her on but she ignores it staying focus on Peter. Tris punches Peter in the stomach hard and then punches him in the throat, causing him to charge at her. Tris side steps him causing her to get little too cocky and Peter pushes her to the floor and he gets on top of her and starts beating her up hard. Tris looks to her side seeing Four walking away. Tris lost a bit of hearing but still manages to hear Eric yell.
"FINISH HER!" Eric yells to Peter and Peter stomps on her causing her to go unconscious.
TIME SKIP (To the Infirmary)
Tris wakes up to see Uriah, Zeke, Shauna, Lynn, and Marlene all sitting around. Tris sits up and Yawns and notices that her head hurts like crazy. Tris tries to talk but her throat hurts. Tris takes a deep breath and swallows a little bit of spit (Ew) and takes a deep breath.
"What the hell happened?" Tris asked Everyone Immediately end their conversation and turn to her. Uriah and Zeke pushes their friends and run up to hug her tightly.
"You're awake finally!" Zeke says kissing her on the cheek. Uriah nods his head and let's go and sits back in his seat. Tris looks at him weirdly and notices that her old friends are staring at her in sadness. Tris shrugs and sits up straight.
"I reapeat WHAT HAPPENED? " Tris yells. Everyone looks a little taken back at her outburst but Zeke pulls up his chair and sits next to her,
"You got knocked out when you were fighting Peter." Tris flinches and she notices Uriah did the same thing. Tris looks at Uriah to see his fist are clenched and he looks very upset.
"Oh where are my friends at?" Tris asked looking for Christina, Will and Al. Zeke looks at her in confusion and points.
"Their right here…What are you talking about." Zeke asked in confusion as he Points at Shauna, Marlene and Lynn. Tris shakes her head and Laugh bitterly.
"What am I talking about? You think those people are my friends?" Tris asked laughing bitterly. She see's Marlene and Lynn flinch. "Yea there totally my friends cause when I came back neither one of them came to see me or asked me how was Abnegation. I haven't seen them or talked them since you were about to jump. But they're my friend's right? Lol lets be real about this Zeke. They never would have apologized to me over the whole "Date thing" if they didn't get caught. And you have the nerve to say they're my friends?" Tris says looking at her "Friends" with no sympathy or emotion. "I need to leave and find my real friends… Love you Zeke. Love you Uri." Tris said before hopping out of the bed and looking around for Christina and the rest her friends. Tris looks at the time a notice its two minutes the next train leave and they are supposed to play a game. Tris grabs her jacket and runs to the train. Tris sees Four looking at her from the train shaking his head opening the door. Tris gets close and Four leans his arm out and pulls her in.
"Thanks." Tris says before moving to her friends. Christian and Will look at her and shock and give her a hug. Tris was about to talk when Eric walks over to her.
"Who let you out?" Eric asked in suspicion.
"I did…I let myself out." Tris says with confidence. Eric nods his head in approval and smiles a little.
"You did?" Eric asked for confirmation. Tris smiles and nods. Eric looks at her and smiles. "Well okay then…Max wasn't wrong about you." Eric says before walking away. Tris smiles and notes that she needs to ask Max what he told Eric about her. Tris turns around and makes conversation with her friends.
"Let's sit down." Christina says as they both slide down the wall and relax. 30 minutes later Christina shakes her awake and they both stand up and listen to the rules of the game.
"The game's simple. Just like "Capture the Flag."." Four says smirking at all of the initiates.
"Weapon of choice." Eric says showing everyone the small dart gun. Tris here's someone laughing only to see Molly chuckling as if that was the funniest thing ever.
"You call that a gun?" Molly continues to laugh. Molly looks at everyone to laugh with her but everyone's quite. Eric scowls a bit. Eric loads up the dart and suddenly shoots at Molly hitting her in the leg, she falls down in pain. Eric takes the dart out of her leg and holds it up.
"Neurostim dart. Simulates the pain of a real gunshot wound, only lasts a couple of minutes. Two teams. Four and I are captains." Eric says smirking.
"Eh you pick first." Four says with a smirk. Tris rolls her eyes and sighs.
"Well okay…I chose Edward." Eric says with a smile. Four shakes his head and points at me.
"I'll take Tris." Four says. Eric snorts and loads up his gun.
"Picking the small ones first, so then when you lose you have someone to blame it on?" Eric says cockily pointing to his next pick.
"But she's ranked 2nd place…But sure something like that." Four replies with lots of confidence. Eric nods and Tris rolls her eyes at them. Tris puts her hand in her pocket and leans her head on Four a bit. Four and Eric finish picking their teams. The train stops and both teams separate. Four and Tris take the lead and run till their by old carnival rides.
"Which way did Eric's team go? Tris asked.
"They must have gone to the end." Will says looking around for lights.
"Alright, lights off. Gather round, come on." Four says to the team. The team turns off their lights and gather round. "Okay guys what's the strategy?" Four asked everyone.
"Uh…we can either flag the wall so they can't find us…" Al suggested shyly.
"We send out a team to scout the location, see if we can find their flags." Will suggest. Christina and some of the rest of the team agree but Tris shakes her head.
"No, not a good idea because they could follow us back and take our flag." Tris says. Four and everyone nod their head understanding.
"I say we blitz them. Just beat them with sheer force." Ezra says smiling and nodding his head. Tris and Christina palm slap their foreheads at his dumb decision.
"That's the best way to lose quickly." Will says rolling his eyes. As the others argue amongst themselves, Tris gets the idea and goes over to the Ferris wheel nearby. Tris starts to climb the Ferris wheel when Four calls out to her.
"You're not going to jump are you?" Four asked smirking. Tris raises an eyebrow and shakes her head.
"No, I'm just trying to get a good vantage point." Tris says as she continues to climb.
"Good thinking." Four says before climbing up the Ferris wheel as well. Tris stops and turns a bit.
"You don't have to come with me you know. I can take care of myself." Tris says with a hint of annoyance. Tris hears Four snort.
"You should go easy, you took a beating." Four says calmly. Tris snorts and continues climbing up the Ferris wheel.
"I'm surprised you noticed. I saw you leave during the fight." Tris says trying not to let the hurt reach her voice.
"Yeah, well. It's not something I wanted to watch." Four says softly. They continue to climb Tris trips but Four grabs her and steadies her. You good? You okay?" Four asked with concern evident in his voice.
"Yea I'm fine…Thanks." Tris says as she continues to climb. Tris stops and looks down to see Four looking around in fear.
"This is high enough." Four says griping the metal bars.
"No, we need to go higher." Tris says. Tris starts to climb again but Four doesn't move, she turn to him in gives him a look.
"You okay?" Tris asked Four softly. Tris sees Four looking around him in fear. Tris covers her mouth with one of her hands trying to contain her smile. "Awe you're scared of heights." Tris says smiling down at Four. Four looks down and shifts uncomfortably.
"Everyone's afraid of something." Four says in a low voice.
"I didn't think you were afraid of anything." Tris says smiling. Tris carries on climbing and Four reluctantly follows her.
"Come on, Tris." Four groans. Tris climbs even higher.
"Just a little bit higher." Tris says climbing.
"Are you even human?!" Four asked in amusement. Tris smiles and rolls her eyes playfully. Tris finally stops and looks around her, Four finally reaches her.
"See this isn't too bad…Now is it?" Tris asked with a playful smirk.
"Yeah…" Four says. Tris looks around and her eyes gets wide.
"Look there it is." Tris says as she points out Eric's team flag.
"Alright…What's the plan?" Four asked Tris. Tris smirks and begins explaining the plan.
TIME SKIP (After the Game and Zip Lining)
Tris and everyone make it back to Dauntless and all the initiates are celebrating when she hears two people arguing. Tris moves closer to see Uriah and Peter in each other's faces. Tris moves through the crowd and tries to get to the front.
"DON'T EVER TOUCH, LOOK, AND OR SPEAK TO MY SISTER AGAIN OR ILL END YOU!" Uriah yells at Peter whos looking as if he doesn't care.
"Dude I was told to so that I could keep my spot above the red line! So if you're going to be mad at anyone you should be upset with Eric… And you do realize Uriah that you can't protect your weak brat of a sister forever right?" Peter says crossing his arms over his chest. "What has she done for you the past two years? Oh yea caused you pain and made you feel bad. She left to go to Abnegation and didn't care about you or anyone else's feelings at all. You all say she was born Dauntless but really she was born a coward. It's about time you and everyone else get a reality check…Your sister isn't all that great and she's definitely not worth arguing and or fighting over." Peter says with venom and some honesty dripping from every word. Peter's words hit Tris like I ton of bricks. Tris walks to the front to see Uriah looking at her in hurt and pain. Tris tried to walk to Uriah but he takes a step back and walks away.
Tris runs after her him trying to get him to stop and talk but he ignores her. Tris finally catches up to him when her walks inside the house at goes straight to his room. Just in time Tris stops the door from closing and walks into Uriah's room.
"Leave me alone Tris." Uriah says with frustration evident in his voice. Tris walks over to him.
"I want to talk." Tris says sitting next to him on his bed. Uriah stands up in sits in the desk chair. Tris feels a jab in her heart but ignores it.
"Tris…I still haven't forgiven you…" Uriah says with no emotion. Tris looks at him in confusion and looks at him.
"What do you mean you?" Tris tries to remember their last argument with him. Then its hits her the Caleb and her thing.
"When we first met them I had a connection with Caleb and we had this bond that I don't think anyone but he and I would understand." Tris tells Uriah sighing loudly. "Not even you."
Tris was about to talk but Uriah beats her.
"I'm not sorry for hurting your feeling two years ago." Uriah says with a voice full of honesty. "I'm not going to apologize for something I meant. You need to understand that I'm not going to run after you every time I hurt your feelings and apologize just to make you happy. You're not more special than anyone else and its bout time you learn it. I'll always be your brother and twin. But I don't want a bond with you right now. I want to be alone. I can't physically have a close bond with you…It's just too much." Uriah says looking at Tris. Tris shakes her head and wipes her tears.
"So forget everything right? And it only took Peter to make you realize huh? You think everything he said was right don't you?" Tris says with anger rising.
"Yea I did take me now to realize how I feel about our bond." Uriah says shrugging. Tris laughs bitterly and continues to have tears run down her face.
"I could sit here and beg for us to have our relationship/bond back to the way it was but…What's the point?" Tris says before getting up and about to walk out the door and stops. "So much for our promise, I guess things happen for a reason right?" Tris says before walking out of her brother's room and shut's his door.
Tris walks into her room closes her door and walks into her bathroom to take shower. Tris takes a shower and cries through half of it and changes into a maroon hoodie and black leggings. Tris buts her hair in a high ponytail and puts on black boot slippers and walks down to the pit. Tris grab's the biggest slice dauntless cake and a cup of milk. Tris walks over to an empty table and begins eating. Tris doesn't notice someone sitting in front of her until she looks up.
"Ah!" Tris says almost dropping her cake. "Who are you anyways?" Tris asked at the handsome young boy looking at her.
"I'm Alexander but you can call me Zander." Zander said before putting out his hand. Tris looks at his hand hesitantly before shaking it.
"So Zander what made you come sit with me at this boring table?" Tris asked raising and eyebrow up at the kid. Zander laughs and smiles.
"Well I'll tell you right after you tell me your name." Zander says with a wink. Tris is about to talk when out of nowhere Four comes and sits right next to her.
"Her name is Tris." Four says rudely as he glares at Zander. Zander looks a little bit uncomfortable and he shifts in his seat giving a fake smile.
"Well it was nice to meet you Tris…Talk to you later?" Zander asked with hopefulness filling his eyes. Tris was about to respond but Four speaks for her.
"Probably not…Bye Zander." Four says with a fake smile. Zander nods his head and gets up from the table and walks away. Tris turns to Four and punches him in the shoulder real hard. "Ow what was that for?" Four asked before taking a sip of lemonade.
"Was it really necessary for you to scare him off? I could've rejected him on my own you know?" Tris says before smirking. "If I didn't know any better I'd think you only scared him off because you were jealous." Tris says with her smirk turning into a grin. Four almost spits out his lemonade.
"Yea I'm defiantly not jealous of that kid." Four says laughing. Tris looks at him and rises an eyebrow.
"Okay well you wouldn't mind if I go find him then right?" Tris asked as she stands up but is stopped by Four's hands on her waist pulling her down till she's sitting on his lap. Tris looks at him and smirks and starts messing with Four's hair. "Though that you weren't jealous?" Tris asked Four. Four playfully rolls his eyes.
"Yea nope I'm not jealous" Four says pulling her close. Tris looks at him in shock. Tris shakes her head and smiles before putting her arms around his neck and leans in close so that their foreheads are touching.
"Then let me go find Zander so I can hang out with him." Tris says smirking. Four looks at her and smirks back.
"Fine on one condition." Four says still smirking. Tris raises an eyebrow and continues to look in Fours blue eyes.
"And that is?" Tris asked. Four grins and tightens his hands around her waist.
"Kiss me." Four says. Tris smiles and leans in when she hears a familiar voice screaming her name. Four and Tris groan before turning their heads to see and angry Zeke standing right in front of them.
