Dauntles Black Heart

Ch13

Ch13
Thomas and I sit at the table eating dinner and Zeke and Uriah come running in, "guys, look at this" they say handing me a piece of paper. The paper says that there is a tournament tonight for Xbox everyone in dauntless can play. "Are you in?" Uriah asks, Thomas and I look at each other, I smile "I'm in" I say. "We're taking you shopping" Christina says "why" I ask. "Because you'll be the only girl and you need to look more intimidating."
"I don't have a choose do I?" "Nope" After we finish I'm being dragged out "it starts at 8" the guys say.

The girls finally finish, I wear a black shirt that shows my shoulders, black legging pants, black converse, my black glove, and knife, my hair wavy. I stair at myself in the mirror. "You look like you're going to kick butt" Tris says pitting her hands on my shoulders. I look at the cut on my face, I get the stitches out the day before we are tolled who will be dauntless and who will be factionless. "Come on you don't want to be late" they say.

The cafeteria was transformed for this event, there's a projector and a huge white screen. I see Thomas and start to walk to him when some guy stops me. "Are you here to support your boyfriend?" "No" I answer. "Well do you want to support me?" He asks.
"No"
"Then why are you here?"
"To play"
"But you're a girl"
"I'm aware of that"I say and walk away.
"Hey Emerald" Thomas says.
"Hey guys" then someone taps Thomas' shoulder I turn around to see this guy holding a clipboard.
"Have you signed it?" Then all the guys sign in with their name and gamer tag. Then Thomas hands me the clipboard, but the guy grabs it from me. "I didn't sign in." I say.
"You're a girl."
"Yes I'm aware of this"
"You can't play." He says turning around.
"Why are you sacred to be beat by a girl?" I shoot back. He stops died in his tracks, turns around and gets in my face. Then Four tries to separate us. "I don't want your feelings to get hurt." He hisses in my face.
"It's not my feelings you should be watching for." I say back.
"You won't even make it past the first round." He fires back.
"Let's make a bet if I make it past the first round then you must stand in front of a target while I get to throw knifes at it. If I don't make it past then I will stand in front of the target and you can throw knifes."
"You're on" he says handing me the clipboard before he storms of.
"Emerald, you might not want to mess with him." Four says. "Yeah, he stabbed someone in the eye and almost killed Tris." Uriah adds.
"What's that guys name?" I ask.
"Peter" Will answers. I write down my name, a few minutes later the first two players are picked, Four and a man I don't know.

I'm the only one left to go in our group so far every one has made it. A man is called up then my name is called. I walk to where we will play, "is this some kind of joke? She's a girl." My opponent says.
"Are you afraid?" I ask with a smile, he sits down and so do I. It was an easy match, I won that match and the bet I made with Peter. When I look back at every one their jaws are dropped, I walk back to the table I'm given a high five from the guys. I look at Peter, he looks mad.

After the fourth round people start to except a girl player. On the fifth I play against Will, but this time when I win people start to cheer. A few rounds later Will, Uriah, Zeke, and Four are out. The next round Tyler is out, then Thomas. My name is called for the final round, I look over to see my opponent, Peter.
"If I win this than you stand in my place in front of the targets if you win I keep my spot." He says. We shake hands on it, every one now knows of our bet.

We sit waiting for the match, "stiff, don't go crying to your boyfriend when you loose." He says. I role my eyes and the game begins. He's good, we are tied for a while, then he is in the lead. "Don't start crying, stiff." I then do a move that Thomas has tried to do, this will kill him or it could kill me if not done correct. I look back to the screen, he's died. I won. "See you in the training room in ten minutes." I say. I turn to the crowd, the pump their fist and cheer, I take a bow. "Well we have a winner." He that called people up, "I never thought that a girl would win." He then he puts a crown on my head. "Your queen." He says. I see Thomas and the guys standing at the stage. He holds out his arms, i jump off the stage into his arms, he spins me around and kisses me. "That's my girl." He whispers in my ear.
