Cruel//Eric Divergent

7~Everything hurts

*Not the best photo but just pretend*

After shooting practice we were allowed a lunch break. I walked down to the cafeteria with Em and Alex, and after getting out food we sat with Tris, Christina, Hanna, Will and Al. I was still pretty spun out about the thing with Eric, I thought I could still feel his hands on my, and hear him whispering in my ear. What I didn't notice, until a hands was waved I front of my face, was that we had been joined by some Dauntless born. To be exact, Uriah and Lynn. I wonder where Marlene is?
"This is earth to Addi! Hello anyone there?" Uriah says jokingly while continuing to wave his hand I front of my face annoyingly. Everyone laughs at my started reaction, apart from Tris who looks slightly uncomfortable being to close to Uriah, which I can't blame her for. In Abnegation the way he was talking was not common. Not at all. Well according to Toby.
"Hey, sorry I spaced out," I say laughing with them.
"All good, we were just wondering if you wanted to come and get tattoos and stuff after training?" Lynn says "You get of a 6 like us don't you?"
"Yeah, and hell yeah I'll come! Hey everyone!" I say to my friends.
"Anyone want to go get tattoos later?" I ask, and get a chorus of yeahs, and one maybe. The maybe was from Tris. By the time lunch finished though, we had convinced her to come, even if just for a small tattoo. As we walk back into the main training room, we are greeted by Eric, standing next to a chalkboard.
"What do you reckon that is?" Alex whispers to me, nudging my side with her elbow.
"Don't know, maybe a schedule? Doubt it though," I whisper back, and look up to see Eric's staring at us. More specifically me. Not really a good sign.
"Is everyone done?" He snaps, still purposely looking at me. I shift uncomfortably, but like on the roof before I jumped, I held his gaze confidently.
"This is your life, you need to be above the red line at the end of stage one or-" he says gesturing to the chalkboard, before he is interrupted.
"Or what?" A girl, Tilly, from Candor asks. She has dark hair and freckles, with buck teeth. She is also extremely rude, all day, everyday. Not to mention annoying.
"Maybe if you let him finish talking you'd know by now," I snap at her. She's part of Peter's little group, instantly making me dislike her. She looks like she's going to say something back but Eric interrupts her this time.
"Initiates, enough," he says in a cold voice. However he was still looking at me, now with an amused smirk on his devilishly handsome face.
"As I was saying," he says, giving a pointed look to Tilly. Little bitch. "You need to be above the red line at the end of stage one, for two reasons. 1) it determines what jobs you will get after initiation, and there are only a few desirable one available. Also, you train separately yo the Dauntless born but you are ranked with them. 2)it determines who will be cut. And by cut I mean Factionless," Eric says pretty much emotionlessly . There are cries of outrage heard, even some sniffling. I'm numb. Then I realise that this is Dauntless, we picked this, and we should have expected this sort of thing.
"Listen, if you had known, would you have chosen differently? Out of fear? Because if that's the case you may as well get out now. You choose us now we get to chose you," Eric says calmly, while smirking.
All I know is that I will not become Factionless.

Eric told us he would reveal the chalkboard after the first fights today, so right now we were watching Four demonstrate different fighting techniques.
"Watch carefully, those who don't learn fast get hurt," Four says and punches Edward who volunteered to demonstrate with him. Edward is extremely good, likes he's been studying combat for years, probably has, he was Erudite. Four sends us to the pouches bags, and I try to copy what he did, to the best I can remember it. Fortunately, I think climbing all those trees in Amity helped me with strength, as the first time I punch to orange bag, and the first time I kick it, it swings almost as far as Edwards.
"Pretty good, for someone your size and from Amity," I hear someone say behind me. Again, really? I don't bother turning to look at him, I just punch the bag again, and again, all the while knowing he's still behind me.
"Actually that's pretty impressive," Eric says. Wait was that him being 'nice'?
"Damn right it's pretty impressive," I say as I kick the bag aggressively. I hear him mumble something as he walks away, but I can't make out what he says. Finally Eric announces we are going to fight, but I don't feeling ready, and I really don't want to fight my friends.
"First jumper, in the ring," Eric says. Shit, that's me.
"Last jumper in the ring," Eric continues. Damn, that's Edward, you've got to be kidding me. As I walk by, my friends give me encouraging smiles, but I'm nervous enough that they don't really help at all. I look at Edward and assume my fighting position. Luckily, I'm faster than him, but he's definitely not slow, so to speak.
Edward makes the first move, trying to punch my nose. I duck at the last minute and while he recovers from throwing his weight forward, I run behind him and kick him in the back. He falls forward, but gets straight back up and runs at me. This time I'm not quick enough, he he punches me in the jaw, then the stomach sending me to the ground. He straddle me and then bangs my head a against the floor by pulling my ponytail. Well if that's how he wants to play, I can play by those rules to. I pretend to be trying to free my right arm, and while he focuses on that I free my left arm and slap him across the face, hard enough to leave a mark. As he tenderly touches his face I knee him in his crown jewels. He groans and roles off me, and I attempt to stand up. Everything this is spinning and there are black spots in my vision, but I shake my head and my vision clears. However I have to end this quickly or I will pass out. Edward is standing again, but he doesn't look to stable. I kick him I the stomach and then grab his arms and twist them out wards painfully. Hoping to end it, I scissor kick him in his jaw. He falls to the ground and I kick him twice in the side, then he passes out.
"Addi wins!" Eric's voice booms.

Hey guys I am so sorry for not updating! We didn't have wifi, and my mum called the company and the guy was useless and then lie 2 days after my dad called and we got a different lady, and she fixed it! Trust me I almost cried when it started working again... Anyway school starts again today, ewwwww. Basically I decided to give you a kinda long (for me) chapter because I didn't update when I said I would. Does anyone have anyone have any ideas for this story? Please let me know in the comments, and I'll consider them! Also, I WILL BE GOING BACK SOON AND EDITING THINGS. I'll probably just be correcting spelling mistakes and stuff. However, I will give a description of the characters, like Em and Alex, in probably chapter 1. I'll probably also just add like comments and stuff she says. I AM ALSO THROWING IN SOME MORE DRAMA IN THE LAST CHAPTER I PUBLISHED AND TO MAKE THAT WORK IM GOING BACK TO OTHER CHAPTERS BEFORE IT. IT WILL BE MAJOR PLEASE REREAD, IN ABOUT A WEEK OR SOMETHING, cause I should've done it my then. Also I feel like most of the characters have no development and are just there so I am adding more about that. Sorry this note was super long, and sorry for the wait, I love each and everyone of you guys who GOT ME TO 4.24K OMFG.
