Following Tris

chapter 10

Sky's POV

I wake up to A girl with aqua hair, and greyish eyes. As my vision focuses I recognize the girl as Dia. "Wake upppp! You're first to fight!" I throw on the training clothes laid on my bed- the same as yesterday, but clean. I run out the door, and accidentily crash into someone. They steady me. It's Tobias. "You okay?' He asks, locking eyes with me. "Fine." I say, breathlessly. "So I hear you got a tattoo?'" I nod, and show him the one on my wrist. "nice. I just hope you stay in dauntless." I follow him, without a sound. He turns on his heel, quickly.  "Sky... Just try to win. I'll figure out the rest." He shakes his head, jogs off. Seriously, sometimes I wonder about him. I mean I don't think about him a lot, wait I mean sometimes... Whoa I'm confusing myself. I follow him into the training room, hurrying after him. "Four!" I shout, but he stands in the center of the ring. "Okay! I take it you know the rules. Also, you will be scored on it. Every week, the bottom three will be booted." Booted? What happens then? "What happens then?" I ask. He looks at me sternly. "Factionless." I exchange glances with Dia, both our faces terrified. "up first... How 'bout our first and second jumpers?' My stomach flips, and I walk up, scanning the girl I'm up against. She has brown hair that fades into blonde, silky, long, and straight. She's slightly taller than me, and has piercing pale blue eyes, but she looks very kind. But if anything, I'd learned to never underestimate people. She gives me a small smile. "Good luck. By the way, my name is Cam." The way the walks with a bounce in her step, it's obvious she's amity. She's in for a rude awakening, though. I get ready to fight, and Four blows a whistle. "Go time." I whisper to myself. She lunges at me, and I do a backflip out of the way. Thanks Uriah! She looks angry, but scared... the fear only makes her stronger. As she rises, she knees me in the stomach, making me gasp for air. I'm losing. I'm losing.I suddenly remember what Four told me. I kick her square in the chest, and punch her in the throat. Adrenaline courses through me, And I slam my fist into her nose, with a sickening crack it gushes blood. She jumps on me, pounding my face. It hurts, and I feel my nose gushing blood. I tense my muscles, and punch her as hard as I can in the temple... And her body goes limp. The last thing I remember is Uriah shouting at Tobias, tears running down his face, taking me in his arms, and sprinting to the infirmary. Then... I wake up. Clothed in a hospital gown, in a white bed, IV's hooked up to me, next to cam. "Hey." She says, voice raspy. I start talking, and suddenly we can't stop talking- until Uriah and Tobias arrive.

Tobias's POV

I wave at sky who looks like death... but somehow makes it work. Her face is all beat up, and bloody, but the rest of her is OK, except for her face, of course. "I look horrible, I know, Four. but don't study me." I feel my face heat up , and look down at my feet while Uriah pulls a chair up, and holds her hand, smiling, talking, and checking her Vital signs. It truly hurts me because... Well I see the way she looks at him. I just wish... Well I wish... She liked me. Not Uriah. Uriah has to leave, and go to his job, but I'm free to stay. I slowly walk over to her. "How you feeling?' I ask her, and she flashes me a thumbs down. I see something on her rib, where her hospital gown rode up. I press my fingers to it. She stares at me, shocked, but then smiles, and turns over, so I can see a flock of birds on the back of her neck, and the clasped abnegation hands on the small of her back. "You like them?' She asks. I smile, and nod. "Yeah, a lot, Sky." Then I lift my shirt off, reveal my tattoos on my back. She gasps, and smiles at me, running a hand over all the tattoos. "We were once one... Until the memory serum came back... And we were back into factions." She opens her mouth to talk and I close it- by pressing my mouth to hers. Game on, Uriah. Game on.
