A/N I really want to read Crossed but I want to make the chapters even...Yeah I have this thing where I can only stand even numbers so you are all lucky! Please Review! :)
-Tris POV-
"We have had a problem, with your training, Tris." Eric says to me not even glancing at Tobias.
"Wha-What? What do you mean?" I can't believe it. Tobias and I walk further in the room so we are about 5 feet from Eric.
"You heard me there has been a problem and I want you and you alone," He says glance at Tobias with a scowl. "To come to my office after training. I will be here for the first half of training observing you."
He is treating me like I am an initiate. Why does he hate me so much? "Okay I will be there at 6:20." I say. That gives me ten minutes too be with Tobias or plan out what I am going to say, and try to figure out what I could be doing wrong.
Eric stand in a corner of the room as the initiates come in.
"Okay so today we are going to practice shooting some more." Tobias says
"Don't just stand there you heard Four. Get a gun." I say snapping at them.
The all get a gun and load it, they are all standing with their guns loaded not doing anything.
"Are you guys going to just stand there holding loaded or are you going to fire them?" Tobias says.
James if the first to shoot, then they all start. Tobias and I walk around them looking over how they are holding their guns and giving out pointers to those who really need them. I walk up to James, he is not getting any closer to the center of the target; and now I see why. "You should try not holding the gun out like that bring it closer to your shoulder it's not a pistol."
"This is how I like to hold it. It's the right way." He says. Of course he thinks it's the right way, he's from Erudite. I am not in the mood for Erudite smart mouths.
"Is that so? Really? This is how you hold a gun." I take the gun from him and show him how to hold it the right way.
"Fine. I will hold it your way." He says taking the gun back and holding it like I showed him. He hit closer to the center a few more tries and he will get the middle.
"Told ya, now maybe should listen to me more." I say walking away.
"Yeah sure thing. Six. I'd do anything for you." He says in a 'kind' tone. Is he trying to me sarcastic or is he flirting? He better be saying that sarcastic.
I shake my head and walk to Tobias who is eyeing James, looking like he might punch him.
We have ten minutes till lunch, the day is already half way done. I am going to have to talk to Eric soon, and I so don't want to do that. Something about him just send chills up my spine.
"You should all have hit the center of the target by now. If you haven't don't leave till you do, you have 8 minutes to hit it. The rest of you who have hit it can go. I will dismiss you when me or Six have seen you hit the center." Tobias says.
Alex, Rachel, Mason, Zoe, Levi, and Liam are the first to hit the target the first try. The rest take three to four more tries.
When they all leave it's just Tobias, Eric and me. "So what is the problem with my training?" I ask Eric who is almost out the door.
"We will talk about it later." He says and closes the door behind him.
Tobias starts for the door, but I don't. "You coming to lunch?" He ask me.
"No. I am going to shoot a few rounds then probably practice up on my hand to hand." I say walking up to grab a gun and load it.
"Okay. But I really think you should get some food. You wont have time to get dinner if you have to talk to Eric."
"Then save me some dinner, I am not hungry. Just go okay I'll me fine, I just need to blow off some steam."
"Okay. I will see you in about an hour." He says and walk out the door closing it behind him.
I fire four rounds and hit all the targets but three in the center, while running. I am getting better. A lot better. When I'm done with the guns I head for the boxing bags. I need to practice learning different combat moves instead of the same ones I have used since initiation.
Before I know it the initiates are coming back in from lunch but Tobias hasn't shown up yet. I will wait a couple of minutes for him, but if he doesn't show then I will start with out him.
-Tobias POV-
After lunch I start back to the training room I want to get there before the initiates do.
"Hey, Four get over here I need to talk to you." I look over and see Eric waving me over to him. I walk up to him close enough to hear him but not that close.
"What?" I say
"I know you don't want me to talk to Tris tonight. There is on thing you can do and I will make sure I will make our talk fast and you can come."
I think for a minute. I wish Tris was here to help me. Whatever I will hear what he wants. "What do you want?" I ask.
"All you have to do is, not go to training. Don't train for the rest of the day. I want to see how Tris handles the initiates by herself. Depending on how she does I might now even talk to her about that matter."
There is no harm in not going to training but I still want to watch her. "Okay I won't help her train and I will make sure she doesn't see me but I want to watch her."
"No. That won't work. You should go do something else you can't always be watching her. " Why is Eric trying to separate Tris and I?
"Half the class. She can train half of the time remaining but then I get to go back in there and help. And I still get to go with her tonight to meet with you." That is fair enough, I think.
"Fine half the class, and you get to go with her. God doesn't she ever get tired of you. Or you her." He says and walks off.
I head to our room to finish unpacking Tris' stuff.
-Tris POV-
Its been five minutes and he is still not here. I might as well start with out him.
"Okay everyone I want you all to practice fighting with the punching bags over here." I say they are looking around, I think they are looking for Tobias. "Move!" I yell to them. I need them to listen to me because I am in change, they can't just listen to me when Tobias is here.
They all rush to their own boxing bag and start to practice their hand to hand.
I observe each of them, not saying anything just walking back and forth.
Alex stops practicing and just sits down.
"Is there some thing wrong Alex?" I ask sternly.
"No, I am just taking a break. Don't feel like punching the bag. Its pointless."
"Oh is that so. Okay well maybe you would like to try on a real target?"
"Ha yeah who would that be you?" He says laughing. He thinks he can beat me up. If I were him I wouldn't have said that.
"Why not let's go come one to the mat." I say walking over to the mat. He walks over and everyone has stopped now and is around the mat watching us.
He puts his fist up and so do I. I wait for him to make the first move knowing he will, and he does. He tries to kick me but I catch his leg and make him fall to the ground, he scrambles to his feet as fast as he can. He comes back trying to punch my face but misses and I punch in the jaw, his mouth is bleeding. He touches his jaw and see's the blood, I take this advantage and kick him hard in the side making him fall to the ground.
He try to get up but I put my foot in the center of his chest, holding him down. "You had enough yet? Or do you still think you can beat me?" I say pushing harder on his chest with my foot. He grabs my leg and pushes it off his chest.
"Nope I can still beat you." He says getting up and putting his fist up again. Okay looks like I am going to have to go harder, I just don't want to hurt him but it looks like I am going to have to.
I head for him first this time noticing that he doesn't block his stomach only his face. I hit my fist into his gut and he doubles over in pain and I elbow his back and kick him to the ground. His face is bloody and he is holding his stomach. He puts his hand up "Stop! Okay I am done."
"Good. And what did learn?" I ask.
"Two things. One- You are way better at fighting than anyone would think you are. And two- I need to work in my combat skills some more." He says slowly getting up.
"Right," I say. "Now get back to training. All of you!"
They all hurry over and start to practice some more. Five minutes later Tobias walks in, I walk up to him a little faster than I normally walk.
"Where have you been?" I say harshly.
"I had to deal with something." He says. "It's fine. How everything going." He says glancing at the initiates. "And what happen to Alex?"
"Kay. Everything is going just fine. And um I will tell you later." I say
He and I walk over and watch the initiates train. We just stand there until it's time to leave. The initiates start to leave, when they are all gone I start out.
"Hey wait up." Tobias says from behind me. "You don't have too be there for about 15 minutes. I need to talk to you."
I stop and wait for him to catch up to me. "You just wanna talk here or do you want to walk and talk or what?" I ask.
"Lets just stay here. Sit." He says nodding towards the ground, I sit. "I didn't come in because I made a deal with Eric."
"You did what?!" Why the hell would he make a deal with Eric?
"Just hear me out." He says. " He came up to me on my way here after lunch, and said if I don't come in for the rest of training I could go with you tonight and he wouldn't keep you there as long as he planed." Well that makes sense. But why would he do that? And he didn't stay away the whole time. "And I said I would stay away for half the time and I can still go with you. He agreed."
"um okay but you know you really don't have to come with me." I say. Does he really think I can't handle it on my own?
"I know. But I wanted to. And I thought it would make you less nervous." Okay yeah I see where he is coming from but he doesn't need too be there for me I can do it on my own.
"Okay. Whatever."
"Okay. So are you going to tell me why Alex is hurt?"
"Oh. Yeah. Well he decided not to train and just sit down and 'take a break'. So I said that he should fight some one and he basically said he could beat me so I showed him I could beat him. "
"Oh. Okay seems fair enough." He says. I'm surprised he didn't get irritated that I beat up an initiate.
He gets up and holds out his hand to help me up. I take it, but I don't let go of it I keep holding it. Even though I am kind of mad at him for making that deal I am also glad he is coming. We walk together hand in hand to Eric's office.
