*This chapter has been edited with minor changes
A/N: Hai everyone! This chapter will be all about the fights. For some reason, I feel like this chapter will be exciting to write about ha-ha ;] and it's going to be a little bit of a time jump.
Disclaimer: I do not own Divergent, the wonderful Veronica Roth does.
Tris POV
I quickly shuffled to the training room with Tobias. Today is the first day of fights, and Tobias and I overslept- once again. We arrived at the training room at 7:55; so we only had 5 minutes to write the matches down before the initiates arrived. I picked up a piece of massive chalk and I began writing on the chalkboard. Last night, Tobias and I thought of the initiates matches:
Grace vs Madelynn
Bryce vs David
Faith vs Emily
As soon as I finished writing, the initiates walked in. The majority of them looked like a mix between being anxious and lousy.
"Today you will begin the fighting part of Stage One. Fighting will consist of two days, the first day being today obviously, and the second day will be tomorrow." Tobias stated tremendously loud.
"This is also the last part of stage 1, so we suggest you take this seriously, leave all of the petty stuff in the dorms, yes?" I bellowed while peering at the initiates.
"With the heartbroken absence of Ethan, Nick will not be fighting today." Tobias told the initiates.
"Will he be okay?" Emily asked.
"Since when are you concerned about him?!" Grace accused.
"I've always been concerned about Ethan! For your information, you're not the only one that cares about him; and it's obvious you have a crush on him." Emily bit back with a knowing smirk on her face.
"First fight; Grace vs Madelynn." I interjected loudly.
I focused as Grace and Madelyn both stepped into the fighting ring. They are both tall and lanky, so this size up looks like it should be a fair fight. Surprisingly, Madelynn is the first one to throw a punch. Grace stopped the punch with her hand and she twisted Madelynn's arm to the opposite side. Madelynn kicked Grace in the side of her stomach, causing her to lose balance. Grace stumbles, but she quickly recovers. Grace raised her first and she punched Madelynn in the jaw while she kicked her on her chest. Madelynn brung Grace down with her and tossed her to the side of the mat, Madelynn got up and she advanced towards Grace in a lionlike way. Madelynn jumped on top of Grace and started punching her in the face. Grace blocked Madelynn's punches and she pushed Madelynn off of her and she pinned her to the ground. Grace ends up being the winner of the fight, and all of the winners of the matches were Bryce, Emily, and Faith.
"This concludes the first day of the fighting stage. Tomorrow, we will continue fighting and we suggest that you get plenty of rest, you'll be happy for the sleep later." I announced.
"You're all dismissed, meet here in the training room tomorrow at eight am sharp." Tobias said.
The initiates fled out of the room and Bryce, the last one left, closed the door. I strutted over to Tobias and I wrapped my arms around his neck. Tobias placed his hands around my waist and he gently pulled me closer to him. I kissed him passionately and I raked my hands hungrily through his hair. He picked me up and twirled me around. We continued kissing for what felt like eternity. I became breathless so I decided to pull away I placed my hands on Tobias's chest and I peered up at him. My heart was beating thunderously and I felt Tobias's heartbeat under my hands on his chest.
"Let's go to the cafeteria to get something to eat?" I asked elated.
"Oh but I thought we just ate." Tobias answered with a wink. Tobias bluntly looked at my cleavage from my tank top.
I blushed and I turned around; as you can probably tell I'm still not over my intimacy fear. I walked out of the training room and I saw that Tobias isn't following me.
"Are you coming or what?" I asked while walking back into the training room expectantly.
"Yea, I was just waiting for you to notice that I wasn't behind you." Tobias answered while following me out the training room.
I rolled my eyes and guffawed at Tobias's attempts.
We walked into the dining hall and after getting our food from the line, we found our usual spot with our friends.
"Where is Shauna and Zeke?" I wondered aloud while taking a seat between Christina and Tobias.
"They're at a doctor's appointment for the fetus." Lynn answered with a laugh.
"Oh, I wonder if it's going to be a boy or a girl." I thought thinking aloud again.
"They just found out that they're having a baby so I don't think they'll find out the sex this soon." Christina informed.
"Right, I keep forgetting. Don't you guys think that it's a little too early to be having kids?" I asked.
"Age doesn't matter here in Dauntless. My parents gave birth to Zeke not long after initiation." Uriah answered amused.
"Well I can clearly see that." I commented in a say in a sarcastic voice.
"Hey I was thinking that we should go visit that Ethan kid to see how he's doing-or if he's alive." Will announced.
"Yea we should go visit Ethan, I'm glad that none of my initiates got hurt-yet." Lauren replied elated.
Everyone at the table started laughing. We continued to eat our food, and then a few seconds later, Bryce, David, Grace, and Faith walked up to our table. Everyone at the table went quiet and it was awkward, until Uriah started cackling. I decided to introduce everyone at the table to the initiates and vice-versa.
"Everyone this is Bryce, David, Grace, and Faith." I stated, gesturing to everyone.
Everyone commented hello and they all waved back.
"Bryce, David, Grace, and Faith this is Christina, Will, Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Peter, Lauren, and Eric." I explained.
"Hello initiates." Eric said sarcastically.
Everyone at the table rolled their eyes at Eric. He has changed after initiation and is still one of the leaders at Dauntless, but sometimes he still acts stupid.
"We were just wondering if you guys were going to see Ethan soon." David said frightened as he watched our reactions.
"As a matter of fact, we were just going to head to the infirmary." Tobias said matter-of-factly.
"Oh okay cool, do you mind if we come with you? We don't really know our way there yet." Faith asked awkwardly.
"Sure we'll show you the way." I answered as I noticed Bryce staring at Faith with a weird expression. I wanted to chuckle, but I held it in.
Faith smiled back at me and they all watched us as we got up to throw our trash away. We headed outside of the dining hall and towards the infirmary.
I didn't want this chapter to be that long because the next chapter will be longer and yea. The next update should be late tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Fave, Review, and Follow as always! Also leave reviews on telling me if you want Ethan to stay alive or not.
