You jump up and down, shaking your hair out. It's time for the last fight, the last chance to stay in Dauntless... and heaven knows how you'll do it.
"Whoo," you whisper to Christina. "I hope I get someone good. I need to win this one."
Tris storms into the room late, throwing the doors open with a crash.
You glance at Christina.
What the heck? She mouths to you, then hurries over to Tris.
"Hey, where were you this morning?" she says, cautiously smiling at Tris.
Tris's eyes narrow, body coiled. "I got held up," she says flatly.
You don't get any more than that, examining the board. Your heart stops.
You definitely won't have an easy last fight.
Because on the board, written in chalk...
...is Peter vs. Y/N.
***
Al loses quickly. He takes a few hits, falls, and doesn't get back up.
Eric rolls his eyes. "Next," he says, examining a knife from the table.
Will and Myra are up next, shuffling around until he knocks her down. It's an easy fight, but you're next. You shiver, glancing up at Peter. Your eyes meet for an electric second, and then he quickly looks away.
He does a couple of his warm-up jumps, and you shake your arms out. It's going to be a tough fight. He's bigger than you are, more muscular than you are, but you have better technique than he does, as well as experience.
Eric looks up from his knife. "Well?" he demands, and your nerves jangle like you've just downed a pound of coffee.
You nod quickly, stepping into the arena. Your breath catches in your throat, loud in the silent air.
"I'll go easy on you if you cry," you say before he can, swallowing.
He looks away, raising his arms up in a fighting position.
If you wait for him to attack so you can react, go to 64.
If you sweep his knee and knock him to the ground, go to 65.
