One Night Stand || Divergent / Eric

10. Stage 1.

Skrillex & Diplo feat. Justin Bieber- Where Are Ü Now

"You're late." Four informed me as I rushed in, making my way over to the group standing in the middle of the training hall around a fighting ring.

"I know. I'm sorry." I breathed, "I was talking to Max in his office."

"You can go first as punishment." Four stated making me shrug.

"What am I doing?" I asked, eyeing up the ring.

"You will be fighting Charlie and being ranked on it, initiate. If you were here then I wouldn't have to repeat myself." He answered. My heart dropped at the name. Charlie. My body shuddered at the thought of Charlie strangling Charlotte and then shoving her off the chasm.

"So we just fight?" I asked. Four rolled his eyes at me.

"Yes, now get to it. We've got a lot to go through." Four ordered. I stepped into the ring, rather reluctantly. Charlie smirked as he stepped in. His tall frame hovered over me and I wasn't even near him. The thought of having to be near this murderer made my stomach churn.

"When do we stop fighting?" I asked.

"I thought you might have learnt from the last time initiate. Until one of you can't continue. No one concedes."

That wasn't Four. I turned my head to look at Eric before I dropped to the floor with a loud grunt due to Charlie practically drop kicking me in the face. I kneeled on the ground, spitting out some blood then wiping my mouth as I stood up. He's messing with the wrong woman. I ran forwards, dodging his left swing and tackling him to the floor. I punched him in the face twice, busting up his nose before he kicked me off him. I landed on my back and Charlie grabbed my foot and pulled me closer to him. I turned onto my stomach, my fingers scraping on the floor as he sat on my back. He grabbed me by my pony tail and slammed my face against the floor, I let out a loud groan as he done it a second time. And a third. I started to go dizzy, my mind wandering off into space.

* "you have to get angry."

"I am angry."

"No, you're annoyed, initiate. There is a difference. Now get angry!" *

Eric's words played around in my head. I have to get angry... I thought about Eric not being there for Candy and the baby. I thought about how he can't just let me in. I thought about how Charlie can still be in training and beating me after I just confessed about him murdering Charlotte. I thought about what Peter could have done if Eric hadn't have stopped him. I thought about everything that had gone wrong in the past week and I got angry. After another collision between my head and the floor I let out a frustrated cry. It wasn't a cry of pain. It was a cry of anger. I wriggled and kicked until Charlie rolled off of me. I then punched him in the stomach, winding him before I stood up. My head pounded, the feel of blood smothered on my face helped fuel my fire as I stomped on his ribs.

"This is for Charlotte!" I shouted as I stomped on the side of his face.

"Please! Stop!" He begged but it only made me angrier.

"Did Charlotte beg you to stop, Charlie? Did she beg for you to stop as you strangled her? Did you stop?" I asked as I kicked him again, going for a random place on his body. "Huh? Did you stop when she asked you to? No?" I kicked him again before I kneeled down beside him. I grabbed his hair and lifted his head up do I could see his battered face. "I bet she begged you to stop and you didn't give it a second thought." I punched him in the face.

"P-p-l-leas-e," Charlie cried, he was crying. But I didn't stop.

"Did she cry Charlie? Did she scream when you pushed her over the edge?" I stood up, looking down on the pathetic boy. "You're weak Charlie. You took the life of an innocent girl and thought you'd be able to beg me to stop hurting you? Where was your mercy?" I asked before I lifted up my knee as far as it would go. I stomped down as hard as I could hearing a massive crack. The room was silent apart from my deep breathes. I looked down at the boy lying limp on the ground, a pool of blood forming around his head. I let out a shaky breath as I dropped to the floor and crawled backwards. Tears blurred my vision as I began to sob.
