Chapter 7-
I wake up to a cold bed. I wonder where Four is, but then I remember; someone deleted some files and he needed to get them back into the files.
I get out of bed and put on some shorts. I decide to take a walk at 4 AM.
Don't ask me why, but something felt off. I start to walk to the dining hall, but stop when I hear a gasp echo through the hallways. It sounds like a young girl. It takes me a few seconds to realize that the gasp came from the initiate's hallway.
My bare feet slap the cold floors, and then I see her. Amanda is sitting near the chasm. Correction- She is sitting on the railing above the Chasm. A dark bottle is in her hand.
Her eyes are on the floor, then the ceiling. Amanda giggles as she steps down from the railing. Her eyes roll back into her head and I realize she is standing on the edge of the Chasm.
I stumble forward.
"NO!" I cry. I lunge forward just as Amanda lets go of the railing. I yank her arm back and she cries out in pain and alarm.
I hear footsteps and see Tobias running towards me.
"Four! Help me!" Tobias hauls Amanda over the railing and I have a flashback of last year's initiation.
Me kidnapped; Peter, Drew, Al. Getting "touched"; the mockery; the nightmares. The Chasm.
I shiver and grab Amanda's arm. She is crying now. The beer bottle fell into the Chasm when she moved. I pull her with me to the infirmary, and I feel scared.
It is now 6 AM. It has been 2 hours since Amanda tried to commit suicide like her brother. She did not get away from this world. I will not let it happen. Amanda will live, and she will make it through initiation. She will be brave, just like she was with the knives.
I walk into training at 8:30. Today is the day the initiates fight. I take the chalk board and write the names of the transfers on it.
Amanda vs. Robby
Carey vs. Mattie
Kaya vs. Riley
The boy that looks like Peter, (his name is Deckham) vs. Ogle
And then there is Frankie, an Amity girl who reminds me of me. She will not fight.
As the transfers fill the training room, Tobias calls Amanda and Robby to the circle.
They begin the fight. Amanda is having a hangover, and it is obvious. Her eyes are dull, and her arms are low. Robby takes an uppercut to Amanda's abdomen. She doubles over and her kicks her arm. Amanda gasps and falls to the ground. Robby pulls his foot back and kicks her in the back, in the back, in the back. She is unconscious. I circle Robby's name.
Next up is Carey and Mattie. I know the two girls are friends. This will be difficult for them.
The fight begins, and Carey attacks first. She doesn't use a fighting technique. She uses a natural weapon all girls' have- long fingernails. She jumps at Mattie who is not expecting it. She thinks Carey will kick her. Or punch her. Not jump her. Mattie is out in less than a minute, thanks to Carey's fingernails and some blows to the head.
Kaya and Riley are up next. They are dating. I can tell, by the way they look at each other. They do not want to fight. I chuckle, and remember Will and Christina's fight. I never watched it, but I know that Christina lost to Will. Riley tries to swipe Kaya's legs out from under her, but she jumps and punches his head. He curses.
Eric yawns, and then says, "I don't have all day… Beat her up or else." It is said lazily, but I know Eric will jump on any moment to make someone suffer.
Riley stands up and punches Kaya in the nose, which knocks Kaya out immediately. Blood flows over her face and Riley bends over Kaya. He picks her up and carries her to the infirmary.
The last fight of the day is Ogle and Deckham. Deckham is strong, and Ogle is small. Ogle darts around Deckham. Deckham starts to get angry, and starts to yell horrible things at Ogle.
When Deckham starts to insult Ogle's family, Ogle stops and turns toward Deckham with a hurt expression on his face.
This gives Deckham enough time to punch him in the stomach, and hick him in the head. Blood spurts from Ogles eyes and nose, but he stays awake. Deckham kicks him in the side, and then pulls him to his feet. He punches Ogle in the arm, and Ogle whimpers. He puts his hands up to face, but Deckham is too strong. He slaps Ogle's face, and swipes his legs out from under him. He kicks him in the neck, the side, the face, again and again and again. He finally passes out, and Eric starts to clap.
"Now that," he says, "Was a fight."
