Guys... I feel like I really let you down!
Chapter 5 wasn't amazing, I understand. I am trying my best, which I know is not an excuse.

BTW I UPDATE THREE TIMES A WEEK, SUNDAY, TUESDAY, AND WEDNESDAY. EASTERN US TIME.

Please review and all that!

*REVISED VERSION 6/30/14*

Chapter VI. The Tour and the Flirts

TRIS

Apparently Uriah and Zeke are brothers, and they are some of the funniest people I have ever met.

"Initiates!" We stop laughing and pay attention to Four. "Transfers come with me! Dauntless born with Lauren!" Uriah hugs me, which I did not expect, and Zeke also hugs me. I walk over to Christina who's standing in front of Four. Four beckons us initiates towards him and we follow him through the hallway. He abruptly stops and I slam into Christina's back.

"Sorry Christina!" I whisper.

"My name is Four. I will be your instructor for the month. Now we are just about to go into the pit." I see Christina about to open her mouth to ask something, but I elbow her and she thinks otherwise. Candors. We follow Four as he pushes open the doors.

The pit is huge.

It seems to be the heart of Dauntless. Black-clothed people running around everywhere, crowds of lively people drinking and laughing.

I am finally free.

"You have 5 minutes to look around. Stay here."

We all are forced to stand here and just look around.

Great.

A boy who looks 17 comes up to me and asks me out. I see Four stiffen in the corner of my eye. I say, "I'm sorry, but I don't plan on dating, only on passing initiation. I hope you understand."

We smile at each other and he waltzes back to his friends, who seem to be staring at me. I turn around to see Peter, Al, I think, and Drew, looking jealous.

I have to deal with this even here?!

In the 5 minutes, I am asked out at least 6 times. "Alright initiates, move out."

We follow Four. We stop at a waterfall; the water is so loud, he has to scream. "This is the chasm! It is the line between idiocy and bravery! A daredevil jump off this ledge will end your life. You have been warned."

Christina and I stare at each other in awe. We back into, moving closer to the wall. We follow Four once again. We arrive at a large room, filled with twin beds, 5 on each side of the wall, with a small box, filled with probably clothes, next to them.

"This will be your home for the next month."

"Who sleeps in here?" Myra, the girl who's dating Edward says.

"All of you." At this, the boys exchange dirty looks and stare at me. I gulp.

Four notices them staring at me, and says, "Boys! No funny business. Now I will leave you to choose your bed and buy clothing with your allotted points or rest. Dinner is in 3 hours."

Four shows us the bathroom. It's a room with showers, faucets, and tiled floors.

No walls.

No curtains.

No privacy.

"I call first with the Stiff!" Peter shouts. "Let's see how stiff you really are." He touches my arm and I punch him hard on the nose.

"Training starts tomorrow. You have three hours until dinner." Four advises.

Once Four leaves the room, the yelling starts. Edward goes with Myra, taking the two beds in the left side of the room. Christina and I take the two beds on the right corner of the room. Molly is across from us. Will is across from me. Drew, Peter, and Al fight about who will take the empty bed between Myra and I. Finally the two concede and Peter is between us. I am not comfortable, so Christina offers to switch beds.

"Thanks." I mumble.

"OMG TRIS! WE NEED TO GO SHOPPING!" Chris squeals.

"Fine."

"Yay!" She takes me by the arm and drags me out.

-o0o-

After getting lost several times, I am getting pretty tired. "Christina, we can't find the shops." I sigh.

"No shit, Tris." I smile, knowing she is pretty annoyed. We see Will in the distance.

"Hey Will!" Christina exclaims. Those two would make a good couple. "Hey!" He replies.

"Know how to get to the shops?" I ask.

"Nope. Let's ask that Dauntless born." Will says, pointing over to Uriah, Zeke, and Four.

"Hey Trissy!" Zeke and Uriah call out. Four is just standing there. This is awkward…hanging out with your hot instructor.

Uriah and I hug, and Zeke and I do the same. "UGH! Cut. The. Cute! Where are the shops?!" Christina yells.

Wow. She must really want to go shopping.

Uriah evidently tries to hide a smile, yet I end up cracking up.

"What's so funny?!" Christina asks, annoyed.

"You!" Will, Uriah, Zeke and I exclaim. Four seems to have gone off somewhere. I feel sad, but I feel a bit more comfortable.

"Lead the way Uriah!" I yell.

Uriah smiles and speeds off forward.

"HEY!" yells Zeke. The brothers are speeding through the pit.

"Come on Chrissy, Will!" We catch up to them sooner or later.

I break out into a full-on sprint. I look over my shoulder to see Christina, Will, and Zeke panting behind. Uriah is inches in front of me. I decide to give him some revenge. I jump on him, or really tackle, and yell, "CATCH ME URI!"

We both land on the floor with a thud. He lays on his back, and I face him, straddling his hips.

"Aren't you going to yell at me to 'get off'?" I ask.

"Nope, I'm enjoying this Trissy." He smirks.

"PERV!" At this, Christina, Will, and Zeke finally arrive.

This must be pretty awkward…I mean I am straddling Uriah's hips and I'm inches away from his face.

Zeke wolf whistles. "YEA! URIAH'S GETTING SOME TONIGHT!"

What.

The.

Crap.

I blush a deep red, along with Uriah.

"ZEKE!" Uriah and I both yell. I get up and brush myself off of dust.

Uriah stays on the floor. "Help." I yank him arm upward, and he lets out an 'OWW!'

He mischievously smiles. "Come on Trissy, you enjoyed that." I am probably as red as a tomato. I side kick his legs and he falls on the floor. We all burst out laughing.

"Ladies! If you want to shop, follow the ZEKE!" Zeke says, putting emphasis on his name.

Christina squeals. "FINALLY!"

After around five minutes of walking, we finally made it to the shops. I look around and notice that Christina and I walked past this at least five times. I look at her. She seems to notice that too, because she stares at it in disbelief with her jaw dropped. I silently laugh.

-o0o-

How'd I get myself in this mess?

Christina is shoving loads of dresses, clothing, and shoes in arms. She squeals. "OMG TRIS! You NEED to get this!" She says, holding up a black dress with dark blue accents that look like Four's eyes.

TRIS!

I sigh.

"You know Chris, we only have at least an hour left until dinner."

Please buy my excuse.

She shakes her head. She shoves me into the dressing room, and I hear a click. I drop the clothes and I slam on the door. "CHRISTINA! LET ME OUT!"

"NOT UNTIL YOU WEAR THAT DRESS WITH THE MATCHING SHOES!"

I sigh. I look at the dress, to notice it's a sleeveless. I gulp, remembering the visible tiny scars coating my arms.

Thank God the cuts on my legs healed.

"Umm…Christina? Can I talk to you? It's kinda personal."

I hear multiple footsteps. "Ugh fine." She opens the door, revealing Will, Uriah, and Zeke.

"When did you guys get here?" I ask skeptical.

I don't want just anyone seeing my scars.

"Well I wanted to check out some Dauntless beauties, but these two didn't want to." Zeke says, pointing at a blushing Uriah and Will when putting emphasis on 'these'.

"What'd you want to say Tris?" Christina asks. I gulp.

"You guys should sit down…" I point towards my large dressing room. They look at each other skeptically, but they all sit down on the chairs provided in the large dressing room.

Over the time in Abnegation, I had trained myself to be, well...

Badass.

But whenever this subject comes up, I feel like my emotional side just comes out.

"Okay… I have never told anyone this, so please don't spread it." I sigh. Will looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Are you pregnant Tris?!"

I widen my eyes in shock.

"NO!" It's nothing like that!"

The guys and Christina let out a sigh. "Continue, Trissy." Uriah says, looking serious as Zeke, Will, and Christina.

Serious? Never thought I'd seen the day Uriah would be serious, or Zeke, and I just met them.

"Just… look." I take off my shirt, which earns me wide eyes from Zeke and Uriah. Will seems to have a thing for Christina, which I am grateful for.

"What's so bad?" He asks, as Zeke and Uriah's jaws are dropped, probably because I am shirtless.

I point to my arms. All their jaws are dropped, and their eyes are filled with tears. Christina manages to choke out, "Tri-Tris? You CUT?!" Her eyes are wide and full of tears.

They think I try to suicide.

Uriah starts to cry. "Tris! You are the most beautiful girl ever! You are smart, talented, amazing, and I would die if you did that!" Uriah's words touch me, and I start to cry.

"NO!" They all sigh.

Uriah looks embarrassed, as he is blushing red. "T-Tris…I'm sorry." I hug him.

"You have nothing to be sorry about. Thanks for caring about me Uri. All of you guys."

"But why do you have these scars?!" Zeke asks.

Christina and Will look sad, but Uriah and Zeke, on the other hand, are steaming.

"Who did these Trissy?! We will WHOOP THEIR SORRY ASS!" Uriah says.

"Thanks guys. You are the best friends I could ever ask for." I smile, and they smile back. We all hug.

"Here's what happened." I sigh.

"In school, or anywhere, I was always catcalled, flirted with, and asked out. I always said no, politely. Until last month, someone came up to me and asked me. I rejected him. After the bell rang, the hallway cleared out. I was blindfolded and my mouth was covered. That boy from earlier did it. He cut my shirt and pants off, leaving me in my undershirt and underwear. He cut my arms and legs. The cuts on my legs weren't as deep, so they healed easily."

I pause, rolling up my jeans to show the hardly visible scars on my legs. I look up and see all of them have tears in their eyes, but they all look pissed. I continue on.

"He then started groping me…and then he cut me…" I hesitate on telling them about the rape...

No.

I can't even talk or think about what happened without bursting out into tears. Christina and Will hold me, also sobbing, mainly Chrissy.

"Oh my God Tris! You don't deserve this!" Christina bursts into more tears. We hug, and became a mass of salty tears.

"Tris. Who. Did. This." Zeke says, fuming with Uriah, but they both have water spilling from their eyes.

I sigh and look down at my feet. "Peter."

For those who didn't really like how Tris was acting too OOC, or badass, i'm sorry. Because I agree with you.

I kind of had to reveal her emotional side because I mean, how would you feel if you were raped and then the subject is brought up, even if you were a badass?

Yup. Like Tris.
