Alessa p.o.v

Tris looks angry but defeated as she walked up to us, she runs a hand through her now messy blonde hair. She looked ready to rip it out. Dried blood covered the tip of her ear. "At least he didn't take it off" Chris grimaces.

"Al should have been the one standing there and taking it." I rolled my eyes, Al had run off and Will chased after him. He was a coward, he should have never joined dauntless if he wasn't capable of taking his own punishment.

"He's a coward" she mumbled, almost sounded like she wasn't the one saying it.

"Hey there buttercup" I hit my head against the table, barely missing the mashed potatoes on my plate.

"Hey Lynn, see you're still calling me that" Chris and Tris looked at her unsure.

"You know you're bleeding, right?" her voice was cold when she talked to Tris. I looked to see the dry blood had cracked and now fresh blood was dripping down her ear and onto both her neck and shoulder. With a groan she threw up and hair and pressed a napkin to her ear.

"Thanks" she muttered.

"So, you're friends with Alessa?"

"Best friends" she smirked. Chris furrowed her brow, she never liked when someone else claimed to be my best friend even jokingly.

"That title has already been claimed" she sneered, I grinned and shook my head.

"Okay fine we're special friends" she laughed, Chris' eyes widened but Tris looked confused. I choked on nothing, hastily stood and ushered Lynn into the hallway. She laughed the whole way, "What? Can't I joke around?" she was still smirking when we stopped in an unfamiliar hallway.

"Of course!" my voice was much shriller than I intended, she laughed harder. "You're such an ass" I groaned as I covered my face with my oddly cold hands.

"And yet you keep me around" I heard her footsteps echo through the stoned walled hallway. Her hand wrapped around my wrist, my breath hitched in my throat. She pulled me along the corridor without telling me why.

"Gonna tell me where you're taking me?" I questioned.

"Hmmm…nope" I could hear her smirking.

I no longer shower before fighting, I get sweaty and don't like to chance getting blood on clean skin. We were allowed one shower a day and I wasn't wasting it.

"You sure you don't want me to wait?" I asked, Tris shook her head.

"I'll be fine, your brother isn't around and I won't be long." She smiled before turning and walking into the showers. I walked with Chris to exchange some clothes, since coming here everyone's muscles had grown forcing them to trade and buy new clothes.

"Since coming to dauntless I've really started to love my body" I stated, Chris readily agreed.

"Never knew I could look this hot" she smiled proudly, while she had no trouble loving herself before she definitely loved herself more now.

We put away the new black clothes and jogged to the training room. Almost everyone had names beside theirs. Christina was up against Al, he was going to let her win, I was up against my brother, Will and Myra, and Tris had no name yet.

Minutes passed before she walked in, anger clearer than day on her pink tinted face. "What happened?" I dared to ask, she didn't tear her gaze from the board as she explained to me what happened.

"Molly" she finished, "I got Molly, good enough" she snarled. I smirked, she was going to kick Molly's ass and it looked like I was going to kick my brothers.

"I'll take care of Peter, don't worry your pretty little head." I knew I was the only other one who could beat Peter. If I succeeded I would then fight Edward. I wasn't so sure about him, he was scary good and even though he had been helping me I highly doubt I could take him.

The fights don't take as long today, everyone is filled with nervous energy that pushes them harder than Eric could. Each second that passes seems to irritate Tris further, part of me thought she was going to kill Molly, the other part relished in what I was going to do to my brother. He went too low, he was sick, I was going to knock some sense into him.

Eric took me aside right as Tris entered the ring with Molly, I heard her faint taunts. Rest in pieces Molly dear.

"Yes sir?" I questioned.

"Don't go easy on your brother." He started, "I've had the same talk with him. He's going to put his all into this fight. If you let him win you're done, you will no longer be dauntless. Take this, every dauntless has to today, new vitamin." He put a small red pill in my hand and watched as I swallowed it. His cruel smirk appeared as he walked away, the pill burned my throat and my head spun. My vision became blurry, black spots danced across the blurred images. I felt like I was going to be sick but the pain in my throat and head kept me grounded. This vitamin wasn't sitting well with me.

I stood straight as blinding fury filled me, I've never felt this before. I've never felt this alive before. I walked to Chris who had been watching me with worried eyes. She touched my arm and my hand flew across her face. She looked at me with wide eyes, a smirk crawled across my lips and I looked away from her.

"Alessa, Peter" Eric barked, I shot him a glare as I trudged into the ring.

"I'm sorry" he breathed as Eric signaled for us to start, he stepped and attempted to throw a punch that would've knocked me clean out.

"Don't be" I smiled as I kicked him in the chest sending him flying back, he growled as he straightened himself and flung himself at me. His hand found its way to my neck, my knee found his groin. He fell to his knees putting him at the perfect level, bringing my knee up I smashed his face against it before throwing him to floor. Blood caked his face but he wasn't ready to quit, he grabbed my ankles and ripped them out from under me. His knee dug into my chest as he threw punches, most I blocked. A scream of anger ripped its way out from my chest.

I barely managed to throw him off, blood dripped from my now broken nose. I launched myself at him, bringing my knee to his groin again as I repeatedly punched his smug little face. I felt bone crunch under my fist.

Next thing I knew I was being pulled off my unconscious brother and Edward entered the ring.

My thoughts became so clouded, I don't know what happened next. All I saw was blood.
