Caleb POV:
A stupid guy dares dares Four to throw freakin' knives at my sister. I look over at her, expecting to see fear on her face. But she's grinning! What the heck did Dauntless do to her?!
"What the heck is wrong with you people?!" I almost yell.
"Caleb. Calm down, it's not anything we haven't done before." She says.
"What?!" I shout. I see Beatrice roll her eyes.
"During initiation." She replies.
"Hey calm down. I have really good aim." Four brags.
"That doesn't-," I start. But Beatrice cuts me off.
"Let's go." Everyone gets up and follows her out of the room. I reluctantly trail behind. We go to a huge training room that smelled like blood and sweat. Tris basically skips in front of the target. I watch, squinting my eyes. Her eyes focus but she keeps the grin on her face. Four had three knives in his hand. I gulp, nervous. Four throws the knife, it's lands a few inches above her head. Beatrice doesn't flinch, but I do.
"Not so close." I say the same time Tris says, "C'mon, you can get closer."
We glare at each other. Another knife thrown. An inch away from her shoulder. Four quickly throws the last one. It hits her ear. Blood flows freely.
"You hit her, you idiot!" I shout. Tris skips back to us. Her hand brushes Fours. I heard them calling each other babe and hon or whatever, but that may just have been to scare me.
"It's fine Caleb. It's just a harmless inside joke." Beatrice shrugs it off. She gives Four a kiss. They are together. I'm angry. She shouldn't be kissing in front of all these people. I pull her away. She pouts.
"Let's go back." She says, putting her hand in Fours. I scowl at their joined hands. If they see, they're choosing to ignore me. We go back. In the next hour, Zeke and Uriah, I think their names were, had a drinking contest, Marlene got a tattoo, I learned that Beatrice came in first place for initiation, Will and Christina played seven minutes in heaven. Four had been asked his previous faction, leading to him being pant less. It was his turn.
"Caleb. T or D?" He asks.
"Dare." I say, surprising even myself. Four gets an evil look on his face and I know I've chosen wrong.
"I dare you to enter the compound."
