After Four's long boring explanation of the fear landscape and its important to do well he said everyone was free to go buy he needed to talk to me, as soon as everyone left I gulped. I'm going to wind up like Drew aren't I?

"What the hell is your problem?" Four demanded.

"Look if your going to beat me up-"

He interrupted, "As much as I want too that is not my intention. This is your final warning. Stay away from her."

He was intimidating but I just rolled my eyes and tried not to show it. "And if I don't?"

"You'll wind up factionless," he said smoothly, "Now beat it."

I walked out of there, my legs were shaking hopefully he doesn't notice.

"Hey, wanna go with me and Drew to get tattooed?" Asked Molly.

I shrugged, "Sure."

As me, Molly and Drew headed towards the tattoo shop Molly's words kept echoing I'm my head, 'You deserve it.'

Then the Stiff's face red and tears welling up in her eyes.

What is wrong with me?

"Earth to Peter?" Called Drew.

I looked up, "What?"

"What tattoo do you want?" Asked the tattoo artist with a tattooed hawk on her back.

"Uh that one," I pointed to one with black flames with one red flame in the center.

"Where?" The woman asked preparing the tattooing tools.

"My back," I replied.

"Can I get the same one on my arm?" Asked Molly.

"Alright, lay down." She instructed me, I did as I was told and she lifted my shirt and began tattooing.

The pain was easy to ignore. Even when I try not to be a jerk I still am. No the Stiff deserved it, Molly's a joke.

"There," She said waiting for me to stand up and handing me a mirror to see it.

Before I could thank her she motioned Molly to come forward.

I sat next to Drew, "Your not getting one?" I asked him.

"Peter do you think I'll make it? To Dauntless?" He asked staring at me.

I shrugged, "I don't know."

"You've only been thinking of yourself! I can't believe I even stuck around with you for this long to realize it!" He snapped standing up.

Molly looked up.

"No, you stuck around with me for this long because your a pathetic coward." I said cooly, "Maybe you should've joined the Stiffs." I said and then Drew stormed off in anger.

Molly got up and walked up to me, "Ass."

"I know," I said.

"I mean you," she said.

"I know."
