Dauntless Brothers

[Chapter 5] Kate and school.

I go into the training room and watch the rest of the fights but my ind keeps wandering back to Kate. I don't know if she's okay or not. And the worst part is that Henry's with her instead of me. Once everyone's done for th day.

I make an announcement that makes everyone cheer. "This is it. The last day of combat training has ended. From now onwards we'll be moving onto something different."

"And what is that?" Emily asks me.

"You'll have to wait and find out." I tell her.

She rolls her eyes and follows everyone who have started to leave the room. Instead of going to the Pit like I usually do, I go to the infirmary.

Kate is lying on a bed and is clearly unconcious. Henry is sitting next to the bed and looks up when I walk in.

"What are you doing here?" He asks.

"Can't I check on her to see whether she's alright or not?" I ask him. When he does not say anything, I say. "You should go down to the Pit. I think that the others are going to celebrate or something, now that they don't have to beat each other to pulp."

"What do you mean?" He asks, surprised.

"Combat training's over." I tell him.

He smiles at this and gets up saying. "This is something definitely worth celebrating."

I nod in agreement. As soon as he leaves the room, I walk upto the bed and look down at her. She has a black eye and some part of her forehead is a weird prurplish shade which means that she got punched there.

I take Henry's seat and lean back against it to admire the girl on the bed in front of me. After some time my gaze shifts to the floor and I can't resist the urge anymore. I lean forward and take one her hands in mine. Her hand is soft and small in mine.

After some time I start dozing off and before I know it I'm dreaming.

Someone shakes my shoulder to wake me up. I see that it's the nurse. I look at my hand and see that they're dangling by my sides which I'm glad off because I don't want anyone to see me holding hands with Kate. At least not as yet.

"You should go get some sleep." She whispers.

I nod and get up from the chair and go back to my room. As soon as my head touches the pillow I go to sleep. It's not because I'm tried but because my brain is exhausted from all the things I've seen and heard in the last couple od days.

~Time Lapse~

I walk down the hallway to go to the classroom where Faction History is held,taught by Will's older sister, Cara. Zeke and Shauna had Science, so we parted ways.

Just as I round the corner someone bumps into me which causes all my books to scatter across the floor.

I bend down to pick up the books and so does the person. When everything's been collected we get up and I look to up to see that the person is Tris!

We stare at each other for a second and then she holds out her hands which hav my books in them and mutters an apology. I thank her and move on.

I might have always hated Tris but I never tried to ignore the fact that she's pretty. Really very pretty. I remember that when we were initiates, all the guys tried to get to her but she pushed away evey single one of them and I have no idea how she's going to react when Eric is going to confess his feelings for her.

I walk into the classroom and take my seat next to the windown in the third seat. Cara enters and the class begins.

I'm really sorry that I haven't updated for such a long time but that was because I was sick and my head kept spinning.

Thank you for reading my story :)
