Left Out (Divergent)

Fight Hard

<Eric's pov>
I wake up the next morning with the image of Ace still in my mind. Something about that look she gave makes me worried.
Did i do something wrong? I ask myself.
I guess i will find out today. Today is the last day of fighting. I better go wake up the initiates. I walk into the dauntless born dorm and wake them up then i go to the transfers. They all groan and slowly get up. I have my fun by throwing a shoe at one of the sleeping initiates. He yells at someone across from him and they point at me. The kid goes slack and silent.
"Training room in 30 minutes," i yell.
Everyone starts getting up and getting ready.
Ace is still sleeping which makes me shake my head silently. I walk over and pull the blanket off of her.
"What the heck," i hear her grumble.
"Get up, initiate," i say.
"Shut the heck up, i am getting up," she says.
I flip the bed over and she lands on the floor. She flips me off before she gets up. I can hear her say a few choice words under her breath. She walks over to the bathroom, and i walk out.
I start to walk towards the transfer rooms. I see Four exiting out of the room so i head to the training room. I see that Four has already set up, and i just stand there for a while. I see Four walk in with Ace they are in a deep conversation. I can tell by the way her eyes look. Almost a soft brown, like hazel. When Four sees me he tells Ace something and she nods her head and heads back out.
"What was that," i say.
"Nothing," he answers.
I stare back at the door waiting for the initiates to start walking in. Ace would not be fighting today if Loki had not got butt hurt and break another initiate arm. He serves punishment early in the morning and late at night. The first person to walk in by surprise is Loki. He looks at the board and smiles.
He is facing Chris today.
After all initiates gather we tell them that todays the last day to improve and that tomorrow we will see who got cut. Some eyes glittered with tears that were about to spill. I already knew who the first two to be cut would be.
We starts with the fights everyone watched. Some interested in each persons technique and learning from them. Loki seemed uninterested until i told him to watch. Ace was watching an assessing each persons move. It look like she could tell what they were going to do next.
Ace vs. CJ was the last fight. Three people went to the infirmary for stitches. Those who had a mild concussion was being watched by Four while i watched the fights. As Loki squares off against Chris, i notice Chris is limping on one foot.
That is weird he did not lose his fight yesterday. I say to myself.
Chris punches Loki square in the jaw. Loki kicks his one leg, he is not putting pressure on. I hear Chris groan but he shows no reaction but that. Chris then punches Loki in the stomach then faces. Leaving Loki face bloody. For some reason Loki smiles wickedly before punching Chris's knee. And Chris falls to his knees.
"Enough," i say before i know what is coming out my mouth.
Four looks at me weirdly and so does Ace. I walk over to Four.
"I think there foul play here," i whisper to him.
I grab Chris and drag him to the corridor. He tried not use his right leg.
"Whats wrong with your leg," i ask.
"Nothing," he says.
"Then why are you limping like a fool," i spit.
He sighs.
"Loki stabbed me in the leg last night. In between my knee. Its hurts like a bitch, but i did not tell anyone. Cause he said he would kill someone if i did," he says.
I nod and drag him back into the room. Then i grab Loki who thinks he is victorious.

I watch as Eric drags Loki out the training room. I walk away from the initiates I am watching to call up the next fight.
"Ace vs. CJ," i yell.
They both climb to that mat. Ace glares at CJ. CJ seems calm he has not lost a fight yet. He is bigger than Ace but slower. Ace looks at him and assesses him as he tries to punch her. She blocks it.
"You need to try better than that," she says.
I smirk.
CJ throws a punch towards her face. As he does that Ace swings her leg up to his rib cage he left open. She hits him perfectly which makes him lose air and stumble a little. She waits for him to regain his breath. She seems like she is toying with him. CJ tried to tackle her but misses when she slides out the way and trip him. He was not a great fighter. He just really never passed out from the punches. He could handle pain thats why he won most of his fights.
Ace kicks him in the ribs again because he fell on the floor. He grunts from the impact.
"Get up," she says.
I was so focused on the fight i barely noticed Eric walking back in with an unconscious Loki. Ace kicks CJ in the face and he gets back up. He throws his body towards her managing to hit her in the jaws. But misses the grab. She stumbled but regains balance and throws a right hook and hits him under his chin. He falls to the floor.
"Is he out," i hear an initiate ask.
By the looks of it yes.
Ace walks over and kicks him in the side no reaction. Which tells me her right hook got him good.
"Good job initiates, now you have a three day break. Just make sure you do not do anything stupid," i say. Before hauling CJ to the infirmary.
Eric dismisses the class and follows me holding Loki.
"What did he do," i ask.
"He stabbed a kid, so he could win his fight," he says.
I look at Eric and his serious face is on. He must not be lying.
"He should get kicked out soon, right," i say.
"Hopefully, he is a pain in the ass to deal with," says Eric.
We reach the infirmary. As we enter i notice Ace sitting in the corner by herself.
What is she doing here. I told her to follow the crowd of initiates. She recently has been getting a lot of death threats so i wanted her to stick with the group but she never listened. Eric throws Loki on the bed and straps him down.
Eric walks over to Ace.
"Hey," i hear him say.
"Hi," she says.
I leave before i can find myself listening in onto there conversation.

<Aces pov>
"Why so distant," i hear Eric ask me.
We sit near the wall after Four leaves. I just shrug my shoulders.
He turns my face to look make me look towards him. His eyes are lighter and seems scared, and concerned. I look away.
"Whats wrong," he asks again.
"Nothing," i say.
"Then why don't you look at me," he said.
I look directly to his eyes. I have no idea why i can not. I do not feel like the conversation i had with Four affected me, but I guess it did.
He puts both hands on my face and pulls me towards him. Are lips touch and i feel free. I feel safe once again as his arms move down to my side to bring me into an embrace. His lips are soft on mine.
When we pull a part his eyes and mine met.
"Im sorry," i say as he pulls me onto his lap.
"Now will you tell me," he says.
"I have been hearing things," i say.
He runs his hand through his hair.
"What things," he says almost in growl.
"Things, that are not true. So do not worry," i say trying to calm him down.
"If you ever want to know anything just ask me, okay," he says.
"Okay."
We stand up and start walking to the cafeteria.
"Can i talk to you tonight," i ask.
"I think i might have a meeting, i think, so maybe not, but come by my place after dinner," he says he kisses me on the cheek then smiles.
I smile back.
We enter the cafeteria and i go sit with Four and eat lunch while Eric goes to the leader's table.
Tonight i will get answers i tell myself.
