The Divergent Spirits

5)

Seth's POV

Ellie, Maci, and I woke up early and took a shower before heading to the training room to start training. But was surprised to see Tris there.

"You're up too?" I asked and she nodded before coming over to the punching bags.

"Yeah, doing some extra training." I nodded before we all kept punching the bags.

We kept punching the bags that we didn't notice Four came in. The sun has come up so I stopped punching the bag. It looks like Four is preparing for something.

"Hey, let's go grab some breakfast." I announced, making the girls stop punching the bag.

"Sure, come on." Ellie said before she walked off and we followed behind her.

We walked through the crowds and spot Christina, Will, and Al. We joined them after grabbing some food. "Where were you four at?" Christina asked.

"We did some extra training from the training hall. You know, jabbing bags, jogging, and some stuff." Maci stated, making Christina nod and continue to eat.

That's when I saw Ellie staring at Eric and once again, he's staring back at her. She clenched her first into a ball and want to punch him right in the face. I want to do the same. Out of many initiates to watch or glance at, why her? She growled out, "Fuck you!" as she raised a middle finger at him. He seems pretty pissed and Ellie smirked at him before finishing eating and walked out of the hall. Maci and I bid our goodbyes at them before walking to the hall where Ellie punching the bags extra hard; maybe because of Eric. While Cardi B's 'Bodak Yellow" blasted in her Airpods.

We joined her when a voice said, "I see you three are getting good at punching and you're fast but you should put more pressure in your punches." We all turned and sighed as it was only Four.

"Okay." Maci nodded.

"Get back and start jabbing again. We're gonna practice shooting guns later." He said and walked to the tables so we got back to jabbing.

We were in the middle of jabbing the bags when I felt a sting in my fist. But we kept continuing until the others came in and wait for Four to instruct us. We stopped and walked over to the others.

"Your bruises! We should clean it up before it get infected." Tris points out our bruises.

"Look, it's just bruises and we have a practice going on." Ellie spoke.

"But still." She called on Four and he notice our bruises. "You guys follow Eric at the roof. We're going to practice shooting and aiming." Four instructed while leading us to the infirmary. Eric barked at them and looked at us before walking away.

I looked around the clinic when Four leave and came back with an alcohol and a cotton balls. Seth and Ellie treated each other as Four went to treat me. He kneeled down and took my hands and noticed my tattoos. It stings as I decided to speak to him.

"Look, it's just bruises. There's no need to clean this up." I whined at him as he stared at me.

"It will get infect as soon as we don't clean it. You do have an insanely sick tattoo." Four says, staring at my tattoo.

"Thank you." I smiled as I feel my cheeks getting a bit warm.

Seth and Ellie chuckled as I glared at them. After we were done, we went back upstairs when we heard Eric instructing them. I pull away from Four and stood in between Tris and Christina. Seth stood by Will as Ellie stood by Christina as we listened in. He aims the gun to the target and watched every detail. The both edge of the gun is steady straight and when he fired it; it hit the head. He instructed again and pointed at the front and back top area and says that it's the aiming point of the gun and it must point straight at each other so your target will be perfect.

When he's done, he handed us our guns and get to positions. I take my stance and straighten my gun into the level of my eye. I took a deep breath before firing and I pulled the trigger. It hit! It hit the target. I smiled and aim again. Again, it hit the target. I looked at Tris and Christina's target but they missed their first shot. Peter, Drew, and Molly hits the targets too. Soon, everyone else have. I notice Ellie shooting again and again until the head part is full of bullet holes. Tris only hits the target once so I bet her score is low but she's trying to hit the target. I know someday she'll be good like everyone else.
