Born to be Dauntless book one

Chapter six

The next morning when I woke up I could tell it was going to be a long morning because Stacy had tears streaming down her pale face. "Stacy what's wrong ?" She hugged me crying. "I had the worst dream about that jump that I didn't make it and that I fell right through the net and was crushed." I sighed. "It was just a dream Stacy." I heard a snort and turned to see the brown haired girl. "Wow are you gonna wipe the babies tears too ?" I was about to punch her when Noah spoke up. "Sierra shut your mouth because god knows we aren't listening." Sierra so that is her name. "Seems like a girly name for such a demon of a girl a name like Killer suites her better." I said crossing my arms. She lunged for me but a tall guy from Erudite with glasses stopped her. "Sierra !! Leave her alone." He snapped pushing her away. He had spiky black hair and tan skin and amity clothes on. "Make me Chuck !!" She snapped. I sighed and smiled and Noah. Later after Chuck and Sierra were separated we all got dressed and headed towards the training room where Four was waiting for them. "This week we will be practicing using a gun." He loading the pistol in his hands and aimed it at the wall. "You will learn to aim and how to make sure that the gun doesn't knock you out by bucking. Who wants to try first ?" Before I knew it Stacy,Sierra,and my own hand shot up. Sierra shot us glares. And Stacy giggled as I just stared ahead. "How about our first jumper Lesley ." He handed me the pistol. I stepped up and took a deep breath and aimed the gun. I closed my eyes and fired the pistol jumped back but I dodged It and finished the round. "Good job you didn't get hit." He went over to the target and smirked. "Wow Lesley you got two in the center. Nice." I smiled and handed him the pistol. "Keep it your all going to get a gun and shoot only at your targets not each other. Now go." I moved to a target In between Noah and Stacy. "Lesley have you even shot a gun before ?" Noah asked loading his rifle frowning in confusion. I laughed "Nope this is the first time I've shot one." He smiled "I guess your just a natural." Stacy shot her shotgun but it jumped back and hit her in the lip. Her lip started dripping blood it was a good thing she wore her blonde curls up today or else they would of had red streaks. "Try dodging it Stacy." Four Said walking over to us. He sighed at Noah. "Noah have you even fired ? Stacy and Lesley Have been through a entire round and you haven't fired once ?!" You could tell Four was getting mad. "I'm sorry I came from Amity and Ive never even seen a gun it's kinda scary." My eyes widened as I set my pistol down and walked over to Noah. Four grabbed Noah's arm and yanked him over to the chasm. "Everybody come here !! This is your punishment if I even here you say the word Scary, or Scared ." I pushed through the crowd to Stacy who stood in the front. "Noah I want you to hang on to the ledge for five minutes." Noah's face went white from fright. I grabbed Stacy's shotgun which hung limply In her hand and loaded it and aimed it at Four. "No Four he will die and if he dies god help me so will you ." Noah looked at me , and Four narrowed his eyes at me. "Is that right Klutz ? What are you gonna do fall on me ?!" Laughter erupted through the group. I aimed the shotgun above Fours head and fired missing his scull by centimeters and smirking as the bullet went flying it the Chasm's rock walls. "Next time I won't try to miss." I said through clenched teeth. He sighed. "Fine Noah doesn't have to go. You do Klutz. Five minutes." I pushed Noah into Stacy and handed Four the shotgun. "Fine then help me down." Four lowered me down and let me get a good grip on the ledge I thought I saw worry in his eyes but he went up to fast. "Go." After a minute my arms started to hurt. My hair was flying around into my face making it hard to see. I heard Stacy's voice. "How much longer ?" Four sighed. "Four minutes." After another minute the pain hit. I let out a loud scream as a tear rushed down my tan cheek. "Let her up !!" Noah yelled. I saw him bend over to help me up my Four yanked him back. "Maybe you should of thought about her before you refused to fire that gun." I heard Stacy crying and Noah swearing which was weird for aAmity transfer. "Two more minutes Lesley ." Four called. I yelled the only thing that I could think. "Thanks for the update." Hearing my voice made me struggle more the pain was unbearable and my voice was weak. I yelped as my right hand slipped off leaving me dangling. I looked over and saw the Chasm's rushing waters. "PLEASE !! LET ME BACK UP! " I screamed tears running down my face. "5o more seconds." I screamed as my fingers started to slip. I took a deep breath and wiped my cheek on my shirt. If I was gonna die at least I want a shred of pride left. Right when my last two fingers were about to slip Noah's pale hand wrapped around my hand pulling me up just as Four yelled "Time !!" He yelled for Stacy and her pale arm reached and grabbed my other arm pulling me up. I jumped over the railing and collapsed into Noah and Stacy's arms panting hard. Sierra was smirking. "Sierra you might wanna wipe that smug look off your face we all now you wouldn't of done it." Said chuck helping me up. I looked over at Four who nodded and some what smiled. Noah and Stacy's arms wrapped around me . "Thanks Lesley." Muttered Noah smiling at me. I nodded. "A-any t-time ." I said still trying to catch my breath. Stacy laughed "Your so stupid , but very brave." I smiled weakly. "That's what I like to hear Stacy." Chuck turned around waking backwards in front of us. "Gosh Noah letting a girl save you that's pretty sad." We all laughed as Noah rolled his eyes. "I'm sorry that I didn't want a busted lip like Stacy's." Stacy laughed but touched her lip which had dried blood on it. "Is it that bad ?" She asked me. "Yeah it's all bloody and gross." She frowned and made her way to the bathroom. Noah laughed. "Spoken like a true Candor girl." I smiled but noticed that Noah still had his lightly tanned arm tossed over my shoulder. I smiled as we walked and Stacy jogged over her lip puffed a little where the gun had hit her. "All better." I said giggling.
