Dauntless Born

Chapter 11 Visiting Day

Four doesn't get back until late. I sat up on the couch, looking at him still half asleep, a small lamp kicked on. Oh, hey sorry. He muttered and I shook my head. He smirked at me, my sight going cross vision as I was falling back asleep

Four

She fell forward and I caught her before she hit the coffee table. I picked her up, slightly throwing her over my left shoulder like a bag of feed. She weighed almost nothing. I put her in her bed and covered her up. I took her glasses off, folding them and putting them on her desk. I looked back at her. I walked out and closed her door before heading over to my room and flopping stomach first cross my bed.

The next morning I went down to the training room with Four. We hadn't said much as neither of us were really morning people. We turned into the room where Eric was setting up targets. Ah, good give me hand, would ya Four. He looked over and smirked. I guess testing the knives will go faster, try not to break them Kace. Kacie. I snapped as I grabbed the knives and started looking them over. There wasn't any obvious signs of damage. But even the smallest nick could make a knife unthrowable. I split them up into stacks and set them into three piles. One in front of me, and two next to me. As soon as the targets were set up I picked my stack up as Eric stood to my left and Four to my right. I picked a knife up and cracked my neck, focusing. I threw the knife hitting it in the dead center. Eric glanced over at me as I threw another one, hitting the target in the head area. I kept hitting in either the middle or kill spots. 

Eric's taunting changed. You're scarily good at that. He muttered frowning and I shrugged some. My knives are good. I said jumping the table and going to my target. I was pulling them my back to them. Shit! I heard a knife whizzing at me and I ducked. It hit right above my head. You good?!? Four snapped as his was the one that slipped. Yeah. I said grabbing it. I frowned and nodded some. This one is bent. I said as I hadn't caught it before. I walked back over and sat it down. Eric looked at Four and back at me. Cool so I'll run this to the black smith. I said and they nodded.

Four was pretty shaken up when he got home. I frowned at him as I was on my laptop. What's wrong with you? I had to throw knives at an initiate. Let me guess. I said typing a paper, without looking up. You played it cool there, but now you're gonna puke? He shook his head some. How do you do that? Do what? I asked glancing still typing. I had memorized my keyboard. THAT! Act like one of Eric's kind. Erudite? I asked and he nodded some and I shrugged. I don't know, I'm not even purposefully doing it. I said before looking over. Also my jacket pocket, the knife's in there. Is it fixed? I nodded some and he smirked. Thanks. No problem Bro. I said and he rolled his eyes.

It's the day before visiting day. I wake up in pain again, but this time it was just secluded to my back and stomach. I wince sitting up and roll out of bed. I stand up and see blood. Oh God. I said out lout, louder than I wanted to. Kace you good? I look at my door and wait, I didn't know what to say, because I wasn't sure if I was good or not. F-Fine! I said but I was shaking. I grabbed my clothes and got changed before throwing my stuff into the washing bag. I heard Four go into his room before grabbing my fitted sheet and running to the closet that had the washing machine. I throw them in and start it, before darting out and to the parlor.

Tori is doing sketches when I get there. She looked over. Hey what's- she frowned as I was crying at this point. What happened?!? I looked around, thankfully no one was there. What? I'm dying. She frowned and I jumped into it, which she started laughing. You aren't dying, sweetie. I frowned more and she sighed. Come on.

We got back from the store in Dauntless and went back to the parlor. I was sitting on the couch angry. Kacie- I don't want this! She sighed some. I know, but it's just a fact of life. Why?!? Because that's just what the female body does. I rolled my eyes more. I'll be back. I said and she frowned but didn't stop me. I needed the keys to the apartment, because I had forgotten mine. I held the brown back tightly, making sure it was closed. I didn't want anyone knowing. I walked into the room as Tris squared up to fight Molly. I swallowed hard, she was gonna lose. Hey. Hey, I need the keys. I said and Four frowned. Where are your keys? Upstairs, in the locked apartment, I kinda left in a hurry. He nodded and had just handed them to me, When Tris started beating the shit out of Molly. Four went forward. Well shit, I guess it's a stiff thing. I said as Eric got a five mile long stare, as if remembering not that long ago, he was the one laying there.
