A/N I am so sorry for the long wait. Forgive me? I hope you enjoy and I own nothing but my OC's.
...OOO...
After Eric walks away toward Max, the other leaders, and the trainers they get everyone's attention. It is time for job and room assignments. Next to them is Dauntless staff with tablets. We are to wait until our names are called and get placed quickly to celebrate the night away before starting work or training the next day. I am first so I hobble up to get assigned. A tablet is shoved into my hands by one of the staffers.
"Pick quick we haven't got all night."
I quickly look through the list that is open for my choice at near the bottom is full medical doctor - filled by Erudite Jenna Rosemont. Of course Jeanine couldn't keep her claws from Dauntless. "I want to take over the Erudite doctor position. I have all the training already I just need a refresher course and that should only take four weeks at most. I think I can get it done in two."
"Want to go back to Erudite so soon?" Eric smirks.
"No but I want Dr. Rosemont out of here. She is quiet close to Jeanine." I say while looking into his eyes.
"Very well. The apartment assigned to that position is quiet large. Three bedrooms, do you have roommates in mind or do you want it alone." Max asks as he nods his approval.
"Roommates. Wes and Audi ranks 2 and 9. If they agree." I stand with my back straight waiting for the okay.
"Approved. Samson set it up leaving roommates open for 2 and 9. As well as scheduling her training." Max says to the man next to him.
"Yes, sir." The younger man answers. One of the other staffers gives me a fancy phone and tablet. It looks like the ones I have seen the leaders use. "You will get all your information on this phone and tablet. Don't loss them and keep one on you at all time."
I express my understanding before hobbling back over to my friends.
As the day goes on the choices dwindle and quickly is over with the majority going to the fence with a shoe box apartment.
"You are all dismissed. Enjoy your last night before you step into your roles tomorrow." Max says before he and the others leave.
...OOO...
I try to dance around with a drink in my hand before downing it. Is it my second or third. Or was it my fourth? I forget but I just try to stay up right on my crutches.
"What are you doing, Kave?" Wes asks as he steers me away from the Chasm."
"I just want to forget everything tonight. Tomorrow is our first day as adults and I just want this one night as my own. Not as a dependent or initiate but McKaven Blaine Dauntless." I sway to the music.
Wes looks at Audi. "Will you help me watch her?"
"Without a doubt." She replies pulling me away from a group of men.
"Thank you." Wes says shaking his head as I start to sing to them.
"What you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
Oooh
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight right through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby" I hug them both. "I love you guys."
"She is plastered." Audi laughs trying to keep a hold of me.
"Did you get the room assignment yet?" Wes asks as he pulls me from the Chasm once again.
"No, did you?" Audi asks as one of the men from earlier comes up.
"No, Kave must have gotten it by now. Kave did you phone go off? We need the room assignment." Wes steps in front of the guy as he get closer.
"Mmmhmmm." I murmur.
"Can I check your phone?" Audi asks.
"Mmmmmmm." I sway with the song.
"I think your friend wants to dance. Do you baby girl?" The guy grabs at me to pull me with him.
"Back the fuck away from her." Wes growls.
"What you fucking her?" He mocks.
"Eww Wessy he thanks we are having sex. He is like my best friend ever and I don't like you very much you big dumb ass." I slur. "Now leave us alone you dumb tree."
"What did you just say little girl." Before either of my friends can stop him he has me by my neck over the Chasm. My crutches laying on the ground by Wes's feet. "You want to go for a swim little girl."
"No you big piggy man I don't." I go to kick him not realizing the danger I am in with my alcohol induced stupor.
"Kave, no, don't." Wes calls out as he steps up to the guy.
"Back the fuck up or I drop her." He snaps shaking me a little.
"Put her down." A voice calls out from behind the piggy man.
"Who is going to make me." He asks looking behind him. His grip around my neck loosens and I fill my body start to slip. I grab at his arm trying to stop from dropping the alcohol rushing out of my blood.
"Wes?" I look over at him. His face is white with fright. "I'm slipping."
"Don't let go, Kave. Just don't let go." Wes steps closer as Eric once again tells the man to put me down but now with a gun in his face.
Piggy man tightens his grip once again before throwing me to the ground at Eric's feet. I land hard on my hands trying to brake my fall.
Eric calls two other men over to take Piggy man away. "I will see to him myself in a moment." He watches as Wes picks me up while Audi picks up my crutches. "You should know your limit if you want to become the full doctor here at Dauntless."
"She has never drank before." Wes sticks up for me.
"So I see." Eric sneers before walking away after Piggy man.
I take my phone from my pocket. Room 8. Code 4767454. Fully Furnished/New Mattresses. We head to our new apartment. "I will never drink again."
"Hallelujah!" Audi yells out as we leave the pit.
