A/N Sorry that I kind of put this on hold! I had some things to do!
Tobias' POV
Right now, I am just putting out some knifes and some guns for today's training. Tomorrow we will be starting hand to hand combat and fighting. We have just wanted to get an idea on how skilled they are with our kind of weapons because they must have had different types of things there. What I mean by that is the quality of weapons in the fringe.
Also, they say around about lunch time, there will be a new member of the fringe coming here as well. I wonder who that could be. It must be a friend of Destiny's little gang, because they seemed to be excited about this person coming to Chicago at breakfast this morning. I overheard them say that the person will not be at Dauntless, but at Abnegation. But they will be staying at Dauntless with them while they get a house in Abnegation for the newbie.
They are rebuilding Abnegation because; they were still the only ones who could be trusted to run the government. Marcus is thankfully not the leader of them anymore, so, they are waiting for someone who can manage this job.
I suddenly here the door open and hear a wave of footsteps. I turn around. I see Zeke, Christina, Uriah, and surprisingly Shauna.
"Didn't expect you here Shauna." I say jokingly.
"Well, I am half paralyzed with leg braces. But that doesn't mean I can't help train these fringe peeps Four." She says snapping back (playfully), at me. I grin.
"Need any help with setting up things Four?" Christina questions.
"Nah. I am done setting up already." Uriah then looks up at the clock.
"If they aren't going to be here no-"A bunch of people barge through the door.
"Here. Just remember, we don't come late ever." Samantha says snapping at us.
Shauna's eyes widen like the size of a dinner plate with her mouth parted.
"L-Lynn?" She stutters. Of course she thinks she is Lynn. She has the same attitude as her, and the same features. Samantha just looks up with a confused face.
"You must be mistaken. I'm not named Lynn. My name is Samantha, Samantha Charm. You?" Samantha says with a slight off tone edginess to her voice. I wonder why.
"Oh right. Course. Sorry. Shauna." She says disappointingly. I know how she feels at the moment. We all do.
"Okay, enough fu*king chit chat. Let's begin." William states firmness. Impatient much dude? I sigh, and begin.
"Today we will be seeing on how well you handle knives and guns. We won't show you how to do anything, only point out on what you have to fix. So, go!" I state as sharp and intimidating as possible. I guess it worked, because they all got a pretty scared expression on their faces. All except Destiny. Is that girl even afraid of anything?
They have all scrambled to the knives first. They must have some brains because the knives will help their aim for the guns. They all collect six knives each and go in front of a target.
Right now, they are testing out some ways of throwing the knives. It is actually hilarious watching some of the styles that they're doing. But even though we need to help them, we stay back and watch for entertainment.
When my eyes travel to Destiny's target, I see she has already gotten three knives in the middle and has three left in her hand. So wait. She has gotten all the knives she has thrown in the middle first try. No one has done that.
I shove Zeke a bit to get his attention.
"Look over there." I nod my head towards Destiny. His eyes grow as wide as dinner plates.
"Holy Sh*t! How the hell is she doing that?" He yells while whispering. Then I think he mumbles something like; Destiny Lee, the new Dauntless priority.
"You know I can here you, right?" I state. He just smirks and raises his hands in surrender.
"But dude! No one has ever done that," He points to Destiny's target, "ever before! Not even you, or any of our ancestors!" I must admit, he is spot on. But let's hope that she isn't like Eric.
I look over at Destiny again and see she has gotten all of her knives in the center of the target. I see her grin with satisfaction. My eyes trail to the rest of the group and see they all have now hit the target. It is about time.

"You're free to go. By the way, don't slake off now you pansycakes. You still have, after lunch, gun practice." Zeke says with gruffness. He was disappointed that these fringe guys are better than us. And it is only the first day! I wonder how much better they can get.
They all rush out the doors. I think it is because that their friend is going to be there.
I look down at Zeke, Shauna, Christina, and Uriah.
"So, who's going to set up the guns?" I state. For a few moments, everybody is silent. Then after a while, I hear two groans.
"We'll do it." Shauna and Zeke say. Uriah just starts running to the door while he calls over his shoulder,
"Adios Amigos!" Christina just runs after him, and lastly, I follow.
"Thanks guys!" I state while closing the door and start to head towards the cafeteria and catch up to Uriah and Christina.
When we enter the cafeteria, we notice Destiny standing up, and giving a hug to a brown eyed, tummy button length, ombre haired girl around about the same height of Destiny. She nearly looks like Susan; Tris' Abnegation friend who got shot while the memory serum went off. I heard Caleb liked her for all of his life.
They trade a few words for a while and then they go sit back down at the table and spread into conversation.
We look around to see if there are any spots left at any of the tables in the dining hall. There are no spots left, except a few spaces left on the people from the fringe table. So, we walk over and sit down on the benches, and start to pick the food out on what where going to eat. I just grab a hamburger because I am not that hungry.
When I have picked up my hamburger, I look over at Christina, and she is getting the same thing I am getting. On the other hand, when I look at Uriah, he has a whole piece of Dauntless cake on his plate and is devouring it already. I must have a disgusted look on my face because when Uriah's eyes meet mine he looks back in confusion.
"What? I am aloud to have Dauntless cake whenever I would want to Four. Right?" He asks. I just shake my head and continue on eating my burger, but I can't help but listen to Destiny's and this girl's conversation.
"Wow, this is so much better than the fringe already Dest." The girl says.
"Well, yeah. I mean, we have good food, and clean water here at last. So it hell yeah is better than that piece of crappy sh*t Jessica." Destiny says to the Jessica girl.
"Yeah, you are right. Anyways, who are they?" Jessica says nodding her head to us.
"Oh, that's Four, Christina, and Uriah. There is also Zeke, Shauna, Amar, and George. But hell knows where they are." She says giving us an acknowledgement.
"Oh, right. So let me guess. They are the ones who will be testing on your abilities."
"Yeah, pretty much. But I also heard that this is going to be like their initiation. I heard it is pretty brutal, but…" Destiny's voice trails off.
"Not as brutal as the fringe?" Jessica questions.
"Fu*k no! No one can be more brutal than the fringe. No matter if there is war, or even killing. It was that every single week or day when the Bureau of Genetic Welfare came and stole kids from their parents and murdered them for no apparent reason!" Destiny says in a stubborn voice.
I am taken back on what she just said because that stubbornness is only shown by one of the factions here in Chicago. Abnegation. And I am pretty sure that she has gotten a Dauntless result because of her attitude and skill level. So, could she be Divergent?
Jessica sighs and knows she is correct and also has a lot of sadness in her eyes while her eyes tear up of the memory.
"Yeah, it was horrible. I am glad we are all out of this place." Jessica states.
"Who wouldn't be?"
"The Bureau." Jessica remarks.
"True that. You sure you don't belong in Erudite?" Destiny smirks and nudges her shoulder gently. Jessica has a smile spread along her lips.
"I am positive Destiny Lee." She answers.
Destiny coughs then mumbles, "Lie alert." Then she coughs again. Jessica just nudges her back and they both trade smiles. But then Destiny's smile turns into a slight frown.
"I'm going to be sad when you have to go to Abnegation." Wait, did I just hear that right? Jessica quietly laughs.
"Oh wow. The, Destiny Lee, is going to be sad when I go and she is showing emotion! That's odd! Very odd my dear!"
"Oh shut the fu*k up as*hole!" Destiny remarks.
"No can do mate." Jessica snickers while Destiny groans.

"Now let's see how you all shoot a gun!" Shauna states while trying to hide her grin.
I know what she is thinking. That these people from the fringe won't even be able to shoot a gun, and will fail straight away. I think that everyone has the same idea, but not me. Well, I do think about the others, but Destiny was perfect at knife throwing, so she must be amazing at shooting guns.
"Same thing that we are going to do from the last practice! You do it, and we watch it and help your technique." William snickers.
"You mean like watch us fail for your entertainment? Please, why don't you just get out of here and put on a hat and get a rod and get someone to dance." Suddenly Amar walks in, and he straight away eyes William. I think I knew he heard what he said.
"Well, we are observing your technique newbie. We are just taking our time, so watch it!" Amar snaps. I clearly see William gulp. Thank god.
"So! What are you waiting for! Get the guns and get moving!" They all rush to the pile of guns that we put out and they straight away take all the snipers. Jessica just goes over to the side and carefully eyes her friends while they handle with the snipers.
Page Break
Everyone has already hit the target at least once. I am actually pretty impressed. Destiny, like I expected, got all of her shots in the middle of her target. This girl has some skills.
"That's enough. You are all dismissed!" Zeke says. Destiny and friends all gather up together and start bursting into conversation while walking out the doors. But then, before they all step out of the door.
The lights turn out.
And a ticking sound.
And the light of a screen pops up with a face i thought I would never see again.
Cliff Hanger alert! What do you guys think will happen? Thank you all so much! Bye!
