Selfless And Honest

Chapter 10

I blink as I wake up. My left eyes slightly hurts. I look around to see that I'm in the infirmary. Oh. Right. The fight I had to do with Peter. I sit up and notice Peter in the chair to my right.

"I'm so sorry." Peter says and leans forward as he takes my right hand in both of his.

"It's okay. You didn't want to. Eric made us. It's not your fault." I say softly. He sits on the edge of the bed and touches my left eye gently.

"The bruise is fading at least." Peter says.

"How long have I been in here?" I ask.

"Three days." Peter replies. I notice that he's wearing some sort of uniform.

"Why are you wearing that?" I ask.

"Midnight field trip. I don't really know." He replies. I go to get up but he makes me stay on the bed.

"Eric said you're done. He cut you. He was trying to wait for you to wake up. But it's the end of the first stage. Tris is cut too. I'm so sorry, Lily." Peter says and hugs me. I hug him back.

"What happened to Tris?" I ask.

"I had to fight her the day after I fought you. I didn't want to. I was still so upset that I put you in here." Peter replies and pulls away slightly.

"Peter we have to go." Ember says as she enters the room. She gives me a sad look. I look over to see Christina and Will saying goodbye to Tris. I kiss Peter before he leaves with my cousin and two friends. I get out of bed and walk over to Tris.

"Get up." I say. She understands what we have to do and follows me to the dorm. We get changed quickly before running to catch the train. I see Four look out the door at us as we start to catch up. I get close enough to see him roll his eyes before helping me into the train. Then he helps Tris.

"Thanks." I say gratefully. He nods at me. I walk away just as Tris thanks Four. Peter, Christina, Will, and Al notice us. Peter pulls me into a tight hug.

"What're you both doing here?" Christina asks.

"We had to make it." Tris replies. Eric walks over to us.

"Who let you out?" He asks.

"Uh. We did." I reply. He raises an eyebrow.

"You did?" He asks in surprise. We nod. He stares at us for a moment before nodding.

"Okay...okay." Eric says before walking away. Peter kisses the top of my head. I look around for Ember, only to find her talking to some boy I've never seen before. He must be a Dauntless-born initiate.

"Alright. Listen up. We're gonna be doing a Dauntless tradition. We'll be playing a game of Capture The Flag. And you'll all be using one of these." Eric says as he picks up a small gun out of a box.

"You call that a gun?" Molly asks from behind me. Eric still manages to shoot her.

"Could you get that dart for me?" Eric asks as he adds a new dart to his gun. I nod and pluck the dart off Molly's leg, causing her to whimper. I hand it to Eric.

"These are Sim Darts. They replicate the pain of a real bullet. There will be two teams. Four and I are Captains." Eric tells us. We all grab our guns.

"I'll take Tris." Four says.

"Picking the weak ones so you'll have someone to blame?" Eric asks with a smirk. Four shrugs.

"Something like that." Four replies.

"Alright. I'll take Edward." Eric says.

"Will."
