Protector

Chapter 5

After the whole chasm thing with Tris, Four decided to take the group to the wall.

Everyone was on the train, that's when four spoke up.

"As dauntless, we fight to protect every life inside the fence without fail, that's why we train you the way we do" he explains.

"To teach you not to give up" he finishes.

Now he's looking at Issy, and Issy's looking right back at him.

"And to find out who has what it takes," four says continuing to look at Issy.

The train comes to a stop, the doors open and four steps out.

"You know it's been quiet out there for years, that could change at any moment,"
"So we have to be ready for anything"

Now everyone's running towards the wall.

A few dauntless members meet us at the bottom and allow them all to go up the stairs, right to the top of the fence.

"What's out there," Tris speaks up.

"Monsters," Christina looks at Issy and Tris.

"Amity farms," Al tells us.

"State the obvious," Issy mutters under her breath, earning a chuckle from Christina.

"No we know but beyond that," Issy says louder.

"Places that have never recovered from the war," now it's Will's turn to speak.

"Do you know?" Issy turns to four.

"Let's just say they build the fence for a reason," Four says keeping his gaze on the horizon.

Issy turns her head to look back at the amity faction farming the land.

How chill, peaceful even they looked.

Four now decided it was time to go back to dauntless and get some more training in.

That means they had to catch the train. Something Issy was never good at.

Issy sprinted up to the last cart when a hand reached out.

Issy debated whether to take the hand or not, but she decided to do so.

A man with a cut on his nose flung her into the cart.

"Thanks,"

"No worries, I'm Ivan."

"Issy," she replies.

As they got back into dauntless, four pushed them to a space where there were targets, not like the gun training targets, full-body targets.

A set of knives lay at each target.

"You'll be knife training today" Four speaks up.
"Get on with it,"

Everyone is now throwing their knives and Issy has hit every knife on the target.

"You're kinda good at this," Christina tells her.

Al throws a knife and it completely misses the target.

"Well that was pathetic," Eric tells him.

"It slipped,"

"Well go get it," Eric raises his voice.

Al turns around to look at Eric, and then back at the knives being thrown.

"W-while there throwing?" Al asks.

"Are you afraid?"

"Of getting stabbed by an airborne knife, yeah," Al nods.

"Everybody stop."
