It's been two days since the choosing ceremony, and I think I've settled in quite nicely. I have a tattoo on my stomach that says ' too weird to live, too rare to die', and to be honest, I love it. I threw out my old clothes, I have replaced them with black long sleeved shirts and pants. I haven't seen Mr. Sexy leader recently and that makes me a little sad.

In these two days we have been getting used to the compound, but, today we are starting the hand to hand combat stuff and strangely....I can't wait.

(Time Skip)

We've been practicing for days and I've gotten quite good at it. Four is a really good instructor, I have improved a lot.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I realise I've been standing at the entrance into the dining hall for about two minutes. Blushing faintly, I make my way to my table. Already seated there was Peter, Molly, Drew and another person that I don't really care about.

"There she is, where have you been?" Molly asks me,

"Throwing people into the chasm" I tell her straight faced.

In silent amusement, I watch all of their smiles fade and one by one their facial expressions become one mixed of horror and fear. And finally I couldn't handle it, I burst out laughing.

"I was k-kidding, hahaha oh man, you should've seen your faces" I say, unable to stop the giggles that erupt from my mouth.

Peter, who is seated next to me, pushes me and tells me to stop laughing. I poke my tongue out at all of them, showing them my childish side. I stand up as I notice the time,

"Come on, training starts in seven minutes" I tell them as I walk towards the door.

(Time skip)

I walk into the training area and almost fall over when I see who is standing next to four, it's Eric Fucking-super-hot-and-sexy Culter. I internally swoon at the sight of him, but somehow manage to keep my composure on the outside. I block out most of what four is saying while I sneakily keep looking at Eric. Well, that is until I hear my name.

"Christina your up against (Y/N)" I hear four say.

I gulp and step up onto the mat, ready to start the fight. She hops up and looks at me smugly and I almost snapped at her then but kept my cool.

"Go"

She swings at me, aiming for my jaw, but, I manage to duck under her arm and throw a fist to her gut. She stumbles back from the force, and struggles to gain her balance. While she is still disorientated, I sweep out her feet from under her and kick her in the side. Aiming for her face this time I was stopped by her voice,

"Stop! Please I need to stop" she begs

"You need to stop" Eric asks her, concerned,

She nods at him.

"Ok" he says, nodding at her and helping her up.

He then lead proceeded to lead us back. Eric was comforting Christina and it was making me super jealous. We were at the bridge when he asked her,

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" she says

"Good" he says calmly, then proceeds to push her off the edge of the bridge.

We all gasp and rush forward a little bit, until he glares at us. I think everyone found that terrifying, but me, I found that incredibly....arousing.

"You either fall and die, hang there until i forgive your cowardice or you give up. But if you give up your out" he says, still completely calm.

We all stand there....almost all of us stand there gobsmacked. I was just standing there, not reacting at all.

"Time" Eric calls out,

Almost instantly three people rush out to help her up, once she knew she was safe she began to shake and shiver like a child.....pathetic, how undauntless.

"Dismissed" Eric says and immediately everyone leaves....except for me.

Eric then turns to look at me, and raises an eyebrow at me.

"Didn't you hear me initiate, I said dismissed" he says obviously annoyed that I was still here.

"Oh I heard you, I was just wondering if you were always planning to do that to one of us. I mean, it is a good way to get us to fear and respect your position as leader" I say to him, getting lost in my own theories.

"You talk a lot don't you, (Y/N)" he says, both amused and annoyed.

I feel my face light up like a Christmas tree as I struggle to form coherent words and all that came out was,

"I'm so sorry, Eric"

I hear a chuckle and look up immediately.

"You look like a tomato..."

I look down in shame until,

"I like tomatoes"

I snap my head up and find my self looking at a blushing, shocked, can't believe he said that, Eric.

"Uh.....yeah" he says rushed and then turns around quickly and walks off the other way.

And I'm still standing here, looking like an idiot, a ridiculous, blushing, idiot that can't help but have a massive grin.
