"There are two stages! The first is physical, push your bodies to the breaking point. The second primarily mental, push your MINDS to the breaking point," Four explains while pacing back and forth in front of us.

"Are they trying to kill us?" Christina whispers to me and Tris.

After he explains a few things Four leaves us to the punching bags. I've had experience with fighting all my life, so I pick up fairly quickly.

"Who are you? G.I. Jane?" Christina asks me. I smile and punch the bag harder.

"What else can you do stiff?" Peter asks me.

"More than you," I say.

"Oh really?" he asks.

"You really underestimate me after last night?" I ask before jumping, spinning and kicking the bag off the hook and into the wall behind it.

I turn around and they all have stunned looks on their faces. I smirk.

Four let's us go to dinner, then to bed.

A few days later Four wakes us up early. Well, me anyway.

"You're a stiff, you're not suppose to be like that," he says referring to my fast reflexes and extreme trust issues as we walk down the hallway.

"Not a stiff anymore, am I?" I say.

He stops in his tracks then states, "You had a bad childhood."

"How do you know?" I ask him.

"I went through the same thing," he says, "I was the same way you are. Fast reflexes, trust issues, always looking over your shoulder."

"So you are a transfer!" I say.

"Why do you want to know?" he asks.

"Just curious," I reply.

"As a matter of fact, yes, I was. A transfer," he says.

"Knew it!" I say.

"You're too smart for your own good aren't you?" he asks.

"What can I say?" I shrug my shoulders.

He smirks slightly and says, "Come on. Before they suspect anything."

We continue walking and talking.
