The Initiate

Part 4

I share confused glances with Jacob and Rea then follow Eric down the dimly lit dauntless hallway. Hastily turning corners until I am faced with Lauren, Four and Max.

"Am i in some kind of trouble?" i question.

"No quite the opposite actually." Lauren explains. "Eric and I feel as if you have a natural talent for knife throwing so we were wondering if you could show some transfers how to do it. They briefly started it yesterday but dont seem to be picking up the tactics. We were hoping that a fellow initiate could show them how to do it properly."

"I'd love to. When and where." the smile on my face shining like the brightest star in the dark night sky.

"At the start of training tomorrow morning. I'll come and get you." Four explains. I nod my head in understanding.

"Now if we are finished here I would certainly like to witness your natural talent and I'm sure Four would like to aswell." Max concludes.

We all turn and make our way back to the training room. I'm given some strange and confused glances by my fellow initiates. I catch the piercing eyes of Jacob and Rea. I send a small nod their way assuring them that everything is alright.

"Initiates! Please make your way out of the training room. Your Initiation has been cancelled for this afternoon. Training will restart after dinner. Until then you are free to do as you please." Max bellows throughout the room. everyone suddenly bursts in to chatter and rushes out the room. leaving just the five of us.

"So lets see this talent in action then." Max exclaims.

I confidently stride up to the table that holds the sharp knives. I pick up five and stand in the direct line of fire from my dummy. I shut my and take a breath when I open my eyes again it's like everything is in slow motion. i pull back the knife and throw, it flies through the air and makes a sickening noise as it embeds  itself in the dummy. I spin in a circle and throw the knife in a dummy at the other side of the room. I shut my eyes and let my instincts kick in. I throw once to my left and another time to my right. As I'm about to throw again I hear the door to the training room open and throw the knife. It skims the person and just catches the side of their left ear. Zeke jumps back in fear as Lauren and Eric applaud me. Four is trying to hold back a laugh after the incident with Zeke who is currently on the floor looking fearful like a child who has been caught trying to steal another piece of Fours cake. Max looks utterly gobsmacked then slowly starts to applaud.

"Wow. You have a natural talent." he states. I can't wipe the giddy smile off of my face.

"Hate to break this up but Max, Four. There's something you need to see in the computer room." Zeke butts in.

Max, Four and Zeke all rush away. I collect my knives from all over the training room.

"Good work initiate." Eric tells me before leaving. As soon as he leaves Lauren rushes up to me.

"Girl that was soooooo good. Did you see their faces they were shocked but I knew there was something more to you. I've known it since you could even try to cut off Zekes fingers with a knife when he wouldn't shut up."

"Hahaha he still hasn't forgiven me for that. It wasn't until three years ago till I was even allowed to cut up my own food."

Lauren has always been close to my family. She's two years older than me and has been like an older sister to me since I live with two brothers.

"I got to go but remember that you still have training after dinner." She reminds me.

"How could I forget." I laugh.

I put the knives back and then go back to the dorms. Nobody is here so I peel of my sweaty clothes and go for a shower. When I'm finished I put on a loose black crop top, yoga pants and a black hoodie. I go to the hall for dinner. I can't find Rea or Jacob anywhere. Instead I find zeke and four sitting at a table so I decide to join them.

"Hello dear brother and the almighty cake god." I sarcastically speak.

"Well if it isn't the little knife throwing prodigy." Four exclaims.

"About that. Sorry zeke it's just that when you came in you really startled me." I explain.

"Please. It's not as if you haven't tried to stab me before." He sasses back.

"Can you not get over that already. I was four for god sake." I defend.

"Still I done nothing wrong." He states.

"You wouldn't shut up."

"Can someone tell me what happened." Four butts in.

"My psycho of a sister went to stab my hand when I was five for no reason."

"Tell the truth zeke." I exclaim.

"That is the truth."

"No it's not. I'll explain it. That morning zeke woke me up by pushing me out of bed then proceeded to constantly annoy me all day by doing everything he could like if I had to go to the bathroom he went in before me and took half an hour. Then at lunch he stole my cake."

"Wait dude you can't steal someone's cake that's like depriving plants of sun. You just can't do it." Four butts in.

"I know but then he wouldn't shut up so it just so happened that I had a knife in my hand and I had had enough. I warned him but he still kept talking and then I went to put a knife through his hand but my mother caught me."

"You deserved that though." Zeke laughs.

"Shut it." I tell him whilst pointing my knife.

Hey everyone. I don't know why but all day I have been working on this chapter and I hope it's good. I really wanted to post after leaving the last chapter on a cliff hanger.
