Other Side (A Divergent Fan Fiction)

Chapter Three

[[WARNING: Foul Language!!!]]

Eventually everyone had finally jumped into the Dauntless stadium. We all gathered in a group and the two men who were over Dauntless had stood in front of us.
"Since everyone is now here, it's time for us to introduce ourselves. We will be your trainers and we will decide who stays and who goes. You picked us, now we get to pick you. I'm Four. And this is Eric" the extremely attractive man said. We followed him into a large room that had different levels of stairs, obstacles and different hallways that lead to who knows where. Four and Eric lead us into a larger room full with beds and next to this room was the restrooms.
"We have to share rooms and bathrooms?" One of the initiates asked.
"If you don't like it you can join the faction less" Eric replied in a blunt tone, "Now pick your bed, get off your old clothes because those are not apart of you anymore. You are dauntless now. Now look like one." After he said what he needed to he left the room in an instance.
"We meet in the cafeteria in an hour. We'll discuss more then" Four left after that and all the new members where here by themselves. Syn wasted no more time and sprinted over the the shower. She stripped down to nothing and turned the hot water on just so she can stand underneath it and wash away any dirt she had on her. Syn had been on her own since she was a little girl, and as gross as it sounds, she didn't get to have hot showers as often as she would like to. She danced around under the water and hummed to an old tune she remembered listening to before she found this place. After her shower was done, she walked over to her bed beside Brittani and put on the clothes she needed to, but before she fully put on her shirt she noticed everyone in her room was staring at her.
"What?" She asked oblivious to the fact that she just flaunt her tattooed covered body as if it was nothing.

In the cafeteria, all the dauntless members gathered around and found a seat in the two story place. Syn and Brittani sat down with some of the other friends they had made ok their first day, but there was one thing Syn kept noticing.
"Why does everyone keep looking at me? Do I have something on my face?" She gushed with her hands checking on her face.
"No, but you do have ink in your skin and two hair colors" Brittany explained, "No one else has nearly that many marks and unusual hair color." Brittani was being quite nice and just telling Syn the truth, and she really appreciated it.

"WELCOME INITIATES!" An older man yelled from the second story to all the new comers. He began a speech on how we will be graded and tested and who will stay and who will go. A lot of the other members seemed worried, but Syn didn't really care, she was only here by her curiosity. The man finished his speech and yelled a toast for all of Dauntless and they all yelled back after. We all sat back in our seat and enjoyed our food for the rest of the time. Tomorrow was going to be the first official training day for all the initiates, and no body knew what to expect.
***
Training day came early for the initiates. Eric and Four got everyone up and told them they only have 5 minutes to get to the gym room. Syn got up quickly and pulled on her clothes in seconds. All the initiates followed the leaders to the gym room that was nearly as big as a warehouse. There were stages and boxing bags sitting around the rooms. All sort of equipment was placed around free for anyone to use them. Four and Eric stood in front of everyone like the normally do and started announcing what the plans were for today.
"For the first day, we are going to judge on your fighting skills" Eric started saying, looking around the room at all the people.
Four continued, "We're going to see how you can handle yourself when it comes to violent tactics. Whoever can make it through will proceed to the next stage of becoming Dauntless."
Eric and Four looked at each and then back at the crowd. Everyone was whispering and wondering what the next step was, then Eric started to explain, "We are choosing two people for each round, and we are going to choose who's first," Eric glanced around the room, and for some weird reason his eyes landed on Syn. She was always the odd one of the crowd and anyone can notice her before anyone else. "Syn. Get on stage" Eric ordered her. Syn just nodded and walked over to the large platform, taking her next step on top of it.
Four carefully watched Syn as she passed him, almost as if he was slightly worried about the girl. But he only had to shake his mind off of her the best that he could. He looked back at the initiates and spoke, "Aiden. You're up." With that being said, the taller boy walked up and stood his place in front of Syn. Aiden was once of the friends Syn and Brittani had made during the period of time they had. Syn was quite shocked that they would pair a boy and a girl up together, but she was going to go with it anyway.
"Alright, whoever taps or falls down for 10 seconds or is pinned for 3 loses. FIGHT" Eric aggressively demanded.

Aiden moved into a fighting position, but Syn only rolled her neck feeling humiliated that she had to do something like this. But she had to remember, nobody knew her and her past. Slowing, the two started walking in circles, Aiden hopped a bit from one foot to another while Syn just slowly strutted. But before she knew it, SMACK! Aiden's fist landed harshly against Syn's cheek, knocking her to her hands and knees.
What. The hell. Was all Syn thought. She placed her finger tips against her lips and saw blood against them. She spit the excess out and got back on her feet. Aiden lunged at her again, but this time she was ready. She dove underneath his swinging arm and kicked her leg out, making him fall to his face.

"STOP! STOP. I'll do it!! I swear, I'll get you what you want. Just don't kill me!"

The flashback hit Syn like a truck, and at that moment her rage fueled her body, and she lost it. "You want to fucking play, Aiden?" Syn sled across the mat on her knees and pressed her foot against his arm and grabbed ahold of his other one. Aiden was laying face down, so Syn placed her free leg on his back and pulled his arm in her back as far as she could. All Aiden could feel was pain, and he yelled in agony. Eric and Four did nothing, but Four watched Syn like a hawk, quite impressed but also curious. Eric didn't know what to think about the petite girl, but Aiden's manhood was being shrunk by the second.

Finally, Aiden rapidly tapped his hand against the mat, begging for mercy. Everyone yelled at Syn, as she finally let go. She pushed off of him and walked off the platform and away from the crowd. After that scene, the whole room fell silent.
