8- knives and roses

Tris' p.o.v

We had 15 minutes to eat lunch come back, collect the guns, bring out the knives and clear the targets.... I didn't know how but we managed to do it all in ten minutes, 5 minutes for lunch and five for the other activities, and now here I'm standing infront of the initiates knowing what is going to happen in half an hour. "Ok...everyone. you did wekl in gun shooting progress let's see are you good with knife throwing? " asks four getting their attention. I look at Ginny as if asking is she okay or not? She nods her head which means she is good, well better then before, then again I hear four shouts "now if you watch six and pay attention, she will teach you how to throw a knife."

"What?  That little girly can throw a knife? I mean can she even hold one? "I don't need to turn to know who has said that. I take one jump at her, pin her to the ground, put the knife on her throat and say  "insult me once more and you are  dead." I stay in that position for ten more seconds and then stand up."as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, " I continue moving toward a target. I stand infront of the target, take a deep breath, I know I have to do it perfect, what if I miss? I remember four's instructions take a deep breath. Concentrate on your target. Throw I do the same.... dead centre. I turn back smirking. Four- Tobias smiling. ...a small smile only enough for me to notice it. I smile back and then realize everyone else are still staring at me so I shout "we don't have the whole day. Everyone grab three knives pick a target and start" everyone ran to grab the knives. I walk back to Tobias. "Good job back there " he says "yeah. Yeah. Whatever.  The plan is still on? " I ask smirking at him. He looks at me in confusion then realize and nods his head grinning.  oh my it is going to be hilarious.  But not now. First we have to help them. We start walking towards the initates. First I go to check Ginny. She is doing fine. Perfect I may say. I smile a little and continue. Next I go to Seth he is doing fine but sometimes he keeps being distracted, cause he keeps staring at Ginny. How sweet! "Now it's not the time Seth. You can stare at her as much as you want in the dormitory. Now you must throw your knife causr if you don't pass you won't get the chance to ask her out you know? " I whisper in his ear. He turns read and continue whispering something about I'm right and all. Then I hear calling my name. That's the moment I've been waiting for it all day. "Six, can you come here give me a hand? These kids here have no idea what to do" "sure. What can I do? " I ask trying not to act excited. "I want you to stand infront of the target while I throw these four knives at you. I smile and nod my head and start walking toward the target. I can see open mouth right now. I stan infront if the target. I've got a few inches taller since last year so now at least ny head riches the target. Tobias stands infront of the target, his back to me. "Listen up. You are holding a knife . It's not a toy you played with when you were smaller. This is real. You must become one with your knife. You must think of it as your hand not an object, not a toy . You must always be ready. You must trust your self cause if you don't. ..." he doesn't finish his sentence. He just turn around and throw one of the knives which lands 5 centimeters above my head. I kepp smiling.  I can here gasping. All of it happened in less than three seconds. Tobias raises his hand to throw another knife. I hear someone says "hey...you're going to kill her.  Stop" but that doesn't stops him. He throw the second one and it lands in my left near my hand. More open mouths. How enjoyable! He throws the third one near my right foot. Ok here it goes t he forth one....my favorite.  I hear more gaspings. "Come on....it's not like he I going to cut her or something" Sophie says. Why do I hate her this much? I smile..... Tobias throws the last one... everything turns slow motion. I can feel the knife touching my ear. I can feel the blood which is coming from that little wound. I walk forward looking at the others...they're still, mostly open mouthed. "What?  This is dauntless you have to get used to it." I shout and then see it's six p.m so I say  "the class is over meet us tomorrow here at eight or you are factionless. " and with that they are gone.
