Ten - The Woman in Blue

    Kristian laid her head against the floor exhausted. The bag swinged above her slowly, her eyes following it as she listened to the grunting from the ring nearby. No more fights for her, but fights for the others. She rolled onto her stomach and propped herself onto her arms, eyes landing on Eric's dirty locks of hair. She could see the sweat on the back of his neck, Four ahead of him. The two were practically enemies, Kristian didn't pay too much attention to it, already holding a distaste for Eric. She didn't want to be too involved.
    Eric's lips moved, Four's own moved after. Kristian could barely read his lips: 'shut up'. Mockery was something Eric seemed to be good at. She'd ignored it for the most part when done towards her, but Four didn't seem as good at ignoring it. If anything he seemed better at fucking it unintentionally.

    "Nasty fight." A voice tugged Kristian's attention. She looked up to see Vanessa, an ex-Erudite. The blonde stood next to her.

    "Not been watching..." Kristian mumbled.

    "Don't think Four's got this, he keeps getting gutted." Vanessa said as Kristian got to her feet.

    Kristian watched as Eric ducked from a punch from Four, his lips morphed to show off a toothy grin. Eric threw a punch into Four's ribcage, Four lurched forward to meet another blow immediately.

    "He just got tattooed..."

    "Really?" Vanessa looked away from the fight to see Kristian still with that damn blank face.

    Kristian nodded gently, crossing her arms and grazing her own fingers over her own. It stung.

    Four got out of a chokehold and shouted out, Eric grabbed a punch from Four just to be kicked right in the stomach. Kristian's lips pursed tightly as Eric lurched forward, the blows now being launched at him. Four beat him senseless, going from rapid punches to kick him to the floor. Eric wheezed as Four's boot hit his stomach.
    Four's eyes filled with pure rage, ignoring Amar shouting at him to stop. Eventually two other guys jumped into the ring, prying Four off of Eric. Four panted as Eric shoved away any help to get up, the two sharing equal glares with each other.

    Kristian looked away and wandered towards the gun range, Vanessa followed her. "Isn't he your friend?"

    Kristian shrugged, "I guess."

    "What's the rivalry with them?"

    "I don't know."

    Vanessa looked back at Eric. "Then what about you two?"

    Kristian took one of the rifles from the stand and glanced over to see what she was on about. "He tried to kill me." she said, as if it were casual, as she walked over and laid the rifle down on one of the stations.

    The blonde looked back at the brunette. "When?"

    "Train."

    "Well... everybody wanted to get here. I get he's a cocky prick--"

    "Why do you care?" Kristian asked, loading a mag into the rifle. She watched Vanessa stutter -- Vanessa was next to her in the dorm, of course she'd try to talk to her.

    Vanessa's mouth moved, but Kristian heard no reasoning. All she wanted was gossip, gossip this gossip that. It was exactly like the girls back in Abnegation, bragging how they truly didn't care and how pure they were when at home, but always in reality loved the little bits of drama here and there. Dauntless was so different yet so similar to Abnegation, Dauntless kept to themselves but were prideful of it whilst the Abnegation seemed to disclose how they felt of the subject.

    Kristian shoved on some headphones and raised the rifle after shoving the magazine clip inside, setting the butt into her shoulder comfortably and kicking a button at the bottom, triggering some of the electrical targets to turn on.
