CHAPTER 2 KNIVES
Author's Note- I do not own any of these amazing characters, except for Kat, and the rest of the Transfer Initiates, I wish I did. I give all inspiration and Credit to Veronica Roth for writing such an amazing book series.
Kat's POV
I woke up, the first day of training. This will be fun. I just need to survive all three stages of initiation. I came here as an escape, and I will succeed. I thought to myself. I got up and got dressed in a black tank top, a pair of black jeans. It was weird not wearing gray or covering all of my skin, but it was nice. I was forced by Gabby to have my hair done in a braid and makeup on my face. The green eyeliner made my eyes look bigger, I looked pretty. Gabby, Isabelle, Jared, and I all walked into one of the training rooms. There were weapons all over the wall, targets on one side of the room, punching bags on another, and in the middle, there was a huge fighting ring. In the ring, Eric and Four were fighting. For the moment I thought that Eric was going to win, because Four was on the ground, on his knees. Eric's fist came down about to hit Four. I bit my lip hard. I didn't want my instructor to get hurt. Until, I realized that Four wasn't on the ground anymore. He was on his feet, and kicked Eric in the side hard. Eric fell, clutching his side. I'll get you back for that one Four. He spat at Four. You think you're gonna beat me next time? He asked Eric. Yes, I will Four. I will not loose to you. He said then got up and walked out of the room.
Alright, Initiates, grab three knives from the table over there, and pick a target. Four said calmly. We ran to get knives I grabbed three and stood by a target. Four stood by the target next to me. This is how you throw a knife. He said. He did this for a few minutes, then told us to try to throw a few. The first time I missed, and Trenton made some sly comment about how stiff's weren't good at anything. At first I didn't care until he started throwing out more comments about how lame Abnegation is. I put down my knives calmly, walked over to Trenton. he turned around and told me to move, and threw another knife. I then tapped his shoulder. He turned around and was about to say another stupid comment. When I punched him in the jaw, and kicked him hard in the side, like I saw Four do moments earlier. He screamed in pain and everyone turned around to watch us, even Four. Trenton was about to punch me until I dodged the throw. What the hell, he said. Four shouldn't she get punished for punching me, it's the most logical thing to do. If I wanted to do the logical thing, I would have chosen Erudite, wouldn't I. No, she won't get punished. You provoked her, and you then got what you deserved. Four than punched him in the jaw again, and walked away. Trenton then gave me an ice cold glare.
Just then Eric came threw the door with and ice pack on his jaw. He saw Trenton clutching his side, me smirking by my target, Four laughing softly and all of the other initiates laughing, gasping or making comments. What the hell is going on. He said. I saw Eric and stopped smirking everyone in the room stood still. Except Four, what's up Eric? He asked still laughing. What happened to Trenton? Oh, you missed it. He was making stupid comments about Kat and her old faction. So, she came up to him, punched him in the jaw, and kicked him in the side. Then he tried to punch her and she dodged it. Then he was trying to tell me what to do, and how to punish her. So, I punched him in the jaw again, and walked away. Four said. All of that happened in the ten minutes I was out getting an ice pack? Eric asked Four. Yep, and that is why he is so hurt. Four said quickly after that. Nice going Kat, I didn't know that stiff's could be that strong. I mean she beat up a boy. Your ranking may go up for this stiff.
Eric's POV
I was impressed that Kat had beat up Trenton, I expected him to be one of the higher rankings in the end. Maybe I was wrong if he could get beat up by a girl. After half an hour of the initiates throwing knives. I had an idea. Kat is gorgeous, and pretty good with knives, but what about under pressure. What if someone she knew was in front of the target. Initiates, I said happily. If this plan of mine worked. Four would be hurt and hate Kat, then I would come in and get to know her and sooner or latter we'd be dating. I'm going to pick one lucky initiate to see how good they are with knives, by having them throw at the target, while Four stands in front of it. What. I hear Four say. When did I agree to this? He asks. Well, Four I'm a Dauntless leader so you need to do what I ask of you. Fine. Four says. Go stand in front of the target, Four. I snap. He does. Alright then we need an initiate. Hmmm... eni, meni, mini, Kat. I say. Me? She asks, confused and surprised. Yes, go grab three knives and go by the target Four is standing at. Everyone gather round. I say. The initiates join me behind Kat. Start Kat. I say. She throws the first knife, it hits the board about five inches away from his head. Darn it! I think to myself just a little to the right. She throws again. It hits above his head. A little lower, Four and she could have killed you. I say I'm not worried. He says back smiling. She throws the last one it goes low and cuts his pants. A little scratch, that's it! I think to myself. Crap, I hear Four say. I like these pants. You owe me Kat. No, I think this was to make them hate each other. Not to get more alone time or make them more friends. Nice throw, I hear Four tell her. Thanks, she says back. I'm sorry I hit your leg the knife slipped, I didn't mean to. She starts crying. I didn't mean to hurt you either Four. I'm sorr-. I didn't hear her finish her apology. I turn around and I see that Four and Kat are hugging. He let go of her and said it was okay, no one else was paying attention. They were talking about how good her throws were. When she looks up, she's blushing. She then ran to the group of the rest of the initiates, as they walk out of the training room, leaving only me and Four. I walk up to Four. What was that? I ask. What was what? He asks me. You know what's what. You just hugged Kat. I have no idea what your talking about. He said. Yes you do. I snap. She's an initiate, she's younger than you, and you're her instructor. You're just mad that I hugged her, because you're jealous. he says. No, I'm not. I don't like her, I don't love her, because she's small, weak, and a fricken stupid stiff! I scream. Just then I turn around, and see that Kat is at the door. She just heard our whole conversation, and now she's crying. I made her cry. Kat! I scream, but she's already out the door. Four, did you see she was there the whole time, and failed to mention it to me?! Yes, I did know she was there Eric. I thought she should know what you really think about her you fricken jerk. He says and then walks out the door. Dang it! I actually love her, and now she thinks that I hate every single thing about her. I just messed up big time, and Four just went to go comfort her. It should be me comforting her not him. Four is going to regret what he just did. I swear it.
PLEASE COMMENT AND GIVE ME IDEAS AND SUGESTIONS!:))) What do you guys think about the whole little Kat/Four I put in. Oh and the knife throwing I knw its like divergent but... I switched it. And Eric just being the diabilical jerk we all know and hate.
ERIC: WHAT COME ON NOT EVERYONE HATES ME.
FOUR: YOU DID JUST MAKE KAT CRY JERK
KAT: YEAH YOU CALLED ME AA STUPID FRICKEN STIFF!
ME: SEE WE ALL THINK YOU'RE A JERK
