Please don't be mad at me! I feel terrible that I haven't updated in the past couple weeks, I've been super busy and haven't really had any inspiration for this chapter. Hopefully it isn't too bad. I appreciate all the reviews, favorites and followers!

Disclaimer: Do you really think I own Divergent?

In the morning we act as if nothing happened, but something did, something changed. Four and I are connected now, when we see Eric and Peter walk into breakfast we share knowing looks while everyone else is stunned. They both have bruises from where Four and I knocked them out and they have a defeated look in their eyes, but not one that says giving up. This one says, we're coming back.

"What happened to them?" Christina asks in a amazement.

"Ummm," I look up and see Four slightly shake his head. "I have no idea, wish it could have been me though."

Four looks grateful for my cover-up, but I don't know how long it will last, eventually Peter and Eric are going to spill it, but then again maybe not, wouldn't want to be beaten up by two Stiff's now would we?

After breakfast, Amar announces that we're fighting today. My lips curve into a smile, Eric and Peter are NOT going to survive these. The pairs go up and I try to show no reaction.

Christina and Molly

Peter and Al

Eric and Four

Will and Drew

Tris

I'm not fighting today.

Who does he think I am, I switched for a reason! I'm silently fuming, after I get over it I look at the other pairs, for the most part they seem evenly matched, everyone is around the same size as the other, the only difference is skill set. I try and predict the outcomes: Christina, Peter, Four, Will. Four's was easy, the rest I'm hoping my friends will win, but I somehow think that even in Peter's state Al won't go at him, he seems too soft to be Dauntless.

The fighting ring is already set up and Christina and Molly are about to fight. They circle each other at first, but I immediately see who will win. Christina is lighter on her feet, Molly may be a bit bigger, but Christina is prepared, Molly's hands are too high up, exposing her stomach for a blow that will leave her gasping. Christina sees this too and hits her right there.

Molly is out of breath, sucking in huge breaths, meanwhile Christina comes at her again, they trade blows and the fight is over when Molly has blood running from her nose and her split lip.

"Alright, we're done here, next up, and someone take her to the infirmary!" Amar's voice breaks through the sounds of the fight and the girls stop.

Next up was Peter and Al. It went fast, just as I expected, Peter was wincing but Al was too scared to take a punch at him, Peter ended as the winner.

Then it was Eric and Four's turn, even though I knew Four would beat him, I couldn't help but feel nervous for him, it was a weird thought. Eric really wanted revenge I could tell, this fight lasted longer than the others. Four and Eric traded punches and kicks, but Four was faster than Eric and landed and avoided more blows than Eric. They were both bruises and battered when they came out, but Eric was by far the worse off, blood coming from his knuckles and the side of his head.

Four came to stand next to me, panting from the effort. "Did Amar tell you why you aren't fighting?"

"I guess I'm just too weak… Ugghhh. It makes me so annoyed to be so weak looking." I sigh exasperated.

"You aren't weak Tris, you're one of the strongest people I know, maybe not physically, but mentally and emotionally you are."

I smile at him, "Thanks, doesn't changed the problem at hand though."

He nods, "That's true. Next time you will."

I look at him, though we haven't talked about last night, we've grown closer and more open with each other. I guess Christina is right, he is more talkative around me.

I realize that Will and Drew's fight has passed and Will is the winner.

Amar comes up to Four and I, "Tris, do you want to fight today? I can ask the group and see if anyone else wants to fight a second time."

I think about this for a second, I wanted to fight, but I run the risk of having Peter or Eric beat me up. I don't want to look like a coward or a weakling though, I mean I was just saying this before. "I'll fight."

"You know you don't have to and that anyone can volunteer right?" Four asks me concerned.

"I don't want to look weak."

Amar nods, "Four has a point Tris."

"Ughhh, I'm tired of being treated like a little kid, I'm not."

Amar nods, "Does anyone want to fight again against Tris?"

Peter and Eric exchange glances and the corner of their mouths turn up. They whisper to each other is hushed tones and then break out into smiles, they're definitely planning revenge right now. "We want to fight 2 against 2, Four and Tris against Peter and I." Eric smirks as he says this. They are sooooo going down.

Amar looks between the two of us and shrugs, "As long as it's okay with all four of you, I'm fine with that."

We all nods our heads, we have to settle this once and for all.

We all four get into the ring, two on each side. Amar, "Go."

Eric and Peter split up; mistake one. Four and I have an unspoken understanding and we turn back to back, no surprises. Eric and Peter start attacking, Peter's on me and Eric's on Four. Peter is bigger but less skilled while Eric has a smaller build, but thinks about things more like an Erudite would. We trade punches and kicks, but similar to Christina's and Molly's fight, I dodge his kicks and punches, at one point I leave Four's back and slip under Peter's arm, I'm able to kick the back of his knees causing him to break down. I punch his face and knock him out, give him a kick for good measure and then turn to see Four finishing Eric up.

We smile at each other and Amar announces us the winners. They're going to be really upset, we have to watch our back more than ever now. This fight gave me the self-confidence I needed. I would consider this a successful day.

We are free for the rest of the day and our group goes to the infirmary to get everything patched up and then we go to the cafeteria where we get sandwiches to bring to the Chasm.

When we get there, some Dauntless born initiates are already there laughing and joking around, we turn to leave but one of them yells, "Hey, you're the Stiff's who jumped first and have four fears right?"

Four and I look at each other and finally I yell back, "That's us."

"Sweet! Come and join us! I'm Uriah, this is my twin brother Zeke, that's Marlene and that's Lynn." He points to each one in turn and they smile and wave back at us. We then go around introducing ourselves. When we're done with that we start talking about initiation.

Turns out they did really well in the first part of their initiation as well; Uriah and Zeke got the top two. And it seems like their inseparable. "Let's play a game," Marlene suggests.

We reply with a chorus or nods and yes's. Zeke says, "I just heard of this game called 'messy twister', we could try that."

Everyone shrugs and nods, not coming up with a better idea. "Ok, everyone go get some clothes that you can get messy and you won't care, it's permanent, I'll go get the paint and board." Zeke runs off after saying this and we all look at each other wondering what we got ourselves into before we run off to change.

I have a question for your all, would you rather have shorter more oftenly (I don't think that's a word) updated chapters or longer more sporadically updated chapters? Also any suggestions with where to go is welcome, I'm kinda just making it up as I go... Happy belated Valentines Day! Again sorry for not updating!
