The Leaders will be the Death of Me

Chapter Seven "Killer"

A/N: Sorry this took so long! *I will now have at least one chapter posted every weekend! And this chapter was kinda short but next chapter will be amazing and make up for it I promise!

"Ahhhh!" Beads of sweat soaked my face. Another nightmare... That was four this week. I look around the dorm and sigh, at least no one woke up. I swung my legs over my bed and pressed my naked feet to the cool floor. I quietly walk out of the dorm being cautious so I wouldn't wake anyone. I ran to the chasm and collapsed against the railing. Tears flew down my face before I even knew anything was happening. Quiet footsteps filled my ears and I wipe my face and look up.
"You okay?"
"Hmm? Oh, uh, yeah."
"You don't look it..."
"It's just... I-I can't remember anything... And I'm stressing myself out trying to make myself remember..."
"Hey... It's going to be okay... You know... Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe you needed this... You had enough of your old life... Look this is a clean slate, take advantage of it! What happened to you is terrible, but you might as well take advantage of it, yeah?"
"Maybe..."
"Well whats your name... I don't remember seeing you around..."
"Oh, its Ash."
"Ash... I like it." He grinned. "I'm Uriah, dauntless born."
"Thanks, I think you're the only kind dauntless born I've met."
"Do me a favor, and never say that around my brother Zeke okay? I'll never live it down."
"Hah, okay, I promise."
"Hey, you should probably get some sleep... Fights start tomorrow for you right?"
"Yeah... And I also fight my ex... The one thats half responsible for this." Anger and heat rush to my face.
"Hey, this is your chance for revenge, kick the crap out of him okay, killer?"
"Killer?" I laughed.
"You seem like someone that would kill for a laugh."
I rolled my eyes at him and sighed. "Well it was nice meeting you... I'll see you around?"
"Of course, goodnight killer."
"Hah, night."

The minute I walked into the training room all eyes moved to me causing me to shudder. I quickly walked over to Malia and shot down everyone's looks. Malia looked at me and mouthed "You good?" I just nodded hoping she wouldn't see through my lie. Confusion overwhelmed me as I looked at the room full of strangers. I began to grow lightheaded, until moments later everything grew black.
My eyes open to steely gray eyes studying me, shocking me so much my head flew back in the progress. He stared at me like he was taking in every crease in my forehead. I grew uncomfortable and looked at the floor beside me. Moments later I look back and he is still studying me, but his facial expression had changed from confusion to realization. Who is he?
I cleared my throat. "I'm sorry... Who are you?"
"Eric." He stayed icily. My face grew pale and I immediately sat up in bed and grabbed my pillow.
"Leave." I said through gritted teeth.
"You going to make me, Amity?" He smirked. "Going to hit me with a pillow?" His smirk grew even wider, and before I knew what i was doing my palm connected with his face, and hard. Immediately my head is jerked back and smacked against the bed post. I mumbled in pain, everything becoming blurry.
"You know what?! I came here out of guilt, not because I care about you. Your just another initiate, and if you ever slap, or touch me again, you will live to regret it." I kept my eyes on the floor, refusing to meet his glare.
"Is it within training to hit an initiate so hard they can't even remember who they are?"
"It was an accident." I looked up and the tears started falling. My eyes lock with his dark ones, and I immediately regret looking at him. I quickly set my pillow behind me and lay down.
"I need sleep." I mumbled, and before I heard him leave I drifted off.

My eyes meet with warm chocolate one's.
"I don't think I can do this..."
"Do what?"
"Malia, I don't even know who I am."
"Thats not true. Ask me anything. I'm your best friend. I know you better than you know yourself! Hey, look at me. I'm going to help you get through this, okay?"
I grabbed her hand and squeezed. "Okay."
"You need to take your mind off things... Zeke's having a party! We should go! He invited me."
"And why is that?" I smirked at her.
"Mhmmm... We may have kissed?"
"WHAT?!?"
"Is that so hard to believe?"
"No... I mean I can't believe you didn't tell me!!"
"Well it literally only happened like two hours ago..."
"Oh, well do you like him?"
"He seems like a really nice guy... But I don't know him that well yet... Which is why we are going shopping and going to that party so I can get to know him and you can be happy after all of this!"
"And what does shopping have to do with you getting to know Zeke?" I said smirking.
She rolled her eyes. "Things could get heated Ash." She said rolling her eyes and after that laughter consumed us. If this is how it used to be... I want it to always be like this...
