AUTHOR'S NOTE: I DO NOT OWNDIVERGENT, I'M SURE YOU CAN TELL. ANYWAY, FOLLOW MY STORY, I WILL BE POSTING AROUND EVERY TWO DAYS, MAYBE EARILER, READ ON.
"Today we are doing a little game us Dauntless like to call: Search and Destroy." I say, as Christina is arranging who will get what weapons.
"The game involves two teams-separate genders-out aim is to shoot the boys target. Our team will split into three groups. Team A- the attackers, who will wait for the code then go hunting for the target, then plastering it in with paintball ink. Team B- the defenders of our own target, shooting the enemy if they come close. Team C- will be the code breakers, the brains to this whole operation, who decipher the code to understand the whereabouts of this target, then message the attackers." I explain. It looks as if they understood the rules, by the way they are continuously nodding at each sentence I spoke anyway.
"Six! I'm not working with that chubby, blonde tramp over there' She points Zoe, the girl that almost fell of the roof, then gained a boyfriend. Zoe is looking vindictive, like she is planning ways to get revenge. I ignore her, she's starting to get on my nerves.
Christina fills the silence, "let's find out who is good at what." I look around pointing at the first girl I catch my eye on. She is smaller than me, with wavy brown hair and has a permanent smile on her face. She says that her name is Emma and she has quite good aim and could be useful in combat. I decide to put her on the attacking team, I'm hoping to be leading. Along with Amy- a Brunette, who is quite strong. Chloe, the already irritating, but too stubborn and arrogant to be on another team, she claims she is fast anyway. Lastly, I place Gemma with them, a girl who is very determined to win anything, even if she has to betray her own team. She will probably become good friends with Chloe as they are both hated throughout the group.
"Who knows how to decode, in other words, the smartest among us?' Christina asks. After a few seconds a girl named Rosie says "Lauren and I are pretty good at solving puzzles," pulling her friend from the back of the group to the front, where everybody can see her, she looks embarrassed. "Okay, you two need to solve it fast, if you don't we will lose, understand?" They both nod.
The defence team will have to be the ones that are left. As requested I have not put Chloe and Zoe together purely because I don't have the time to deal with uncooperative people right now. She is paired up with three other girls called: Rose, Holly and Scarlet, who he barely notices.
Once the initiates are sorted out, Christina and I need to decide who will be leading what group. I want to be where the most action is, the attackers. "It's fine, I will go with the defence group." It's scary how well she can tell what people are thinking, especially me. "Have fun with Chloe" she whispers. I smirk back. I am almost certain Chloe will find a way to destroy the game, for her own pleasure.
We rush off into our positions- the coding team in the nearby building- wired with computers, equipped with a few paint guns. Our Defence group is equipped the same as the attackers, a smoke grenade,(only slightly harmful, it mostly just distorts your vision), and a paintball gun each, equipped with individual ammunition. They are placed inside the buildings by our target and crouching down behind rubble.
We begin walking, almost aimlessly, towards where we think their target could be. Without the code its pointless really, but I could be close to the area, and be able to get to it quicker than I would if we just sat around, waiting to be attacked.
"Six!" Chloe shouts, but I pretend I didn't hear her, I don't have time for her dumb questions. She carries on anyway. "When are they solving that code, it's just a bunch of numbers, even you could be able to solve it." I now wish I chose the other team. She wines continuously.
"I harder than you might think, they only received it a few minutes ago," I hiss. "And anyway, it's not like the other team have figured our code yet anyway."
"I don't understand, why we are even doing this, I would rather be in bed! Do you, Christina and that other psyco instructor know the meaning of Dauntless? This isn't brave you know." She means Tobias, the only family I have left.
"Don't push it, Chloe!" I spit, menacing. She seems shocked that I wouldn't bow down to her, like the other girls did - well except from Christina. Still, she carries on, accepting the challenge.
"Whatever, few of us were talking," the rest of my group stare at the ground, guiltily, "about you and that creep, what's his name? Tobias?" I glare at her, letting her know that she has crossed the line. I can feel my anger bubbling and rising by the second.
Chloe still continues, "I mean, why would an abused freak, want to date a murderer like you?" I don't know where she got that information from, but I'm too angry to think.
I punch Chloe in her grinning face, so hard it makes her stumble to the ground. She shields her face from me, but I can tell something's bleeding. She tries to kick my legs, so she could get me on the floor, like her, but I am too fast. I launch myself at her, pinning her hands and feet so they are glued to the ground. She struggles a little, but then gives up, I'm too strong for her.
"Say it again," I scream, "I dare you." Her gasping breaths fill the air, but no words. Piercing through the silence, she mumbles "Please."
"What?" I say taunting her, "I couldn't hear you."
"Please! Get. Off." She wheezes in pain, my punch from earlier must have broken her nose, as it now spurting with blood. I am deciding whether or not to release her, when a voice comes from Amy.
"Can you two stop fighting?" its only now I realise that they witnessed the entire fight. "We just received the code, it reads: LOOK FOR SMOKE, what smoke, what a dumb clue!" she wines.
I help Chloe get up, and start running.
