Tobias x Tris

Chapter Nine

Tris POV

I woke up really early the next morning so I could practice for my fight with Tobias. The only reason I actually want to fight him is because I don't want to look weak in front of the initiates. I know there is like a 3% chance at winning but as long as I stay in the fight long enough with out him hurting me I'll be good.

The first thing I do when I go down stairs is tape my knuckles before I go to the punching bag. Then I go at it. In the attempt I end up knocking it off and I decide to leave it for now and I just move to a different one.

Tobias POV

I wake up 20 minutes before our fight today. So I end up rushing in the shower and get dressed.

I'm still ten minutes early when I see Tris beating the crap out of a punching bag. Instead of going up to her and wrapping my arms around her I watch her a few minutes until someone walks up to her.

Tris POV

"Hey, baby" Adrien walks up behind me.

"Go away," I pause a minute. I'm debating weather I should tell him I have a boyfriend.

"I have a boyfriend" I decided to tell him. It doesn't matter if I tell him as long as I don't say it's Tobias, right?

"Yeah right, your just trying to get rid of me" he smirks.

Then I see him, Tobias is standing in the corner of the room. How long had he been there. I didn't know so I wanted Tobias to know I could handle myself. I lock eyes with Tobias and tilt my head towards Adrien. He nods, then in five seconds flat Adrien is pinned on the ground wincing in pain.

"Ow, ow, ow, stop" then Tobias come walking out of the corner.

"Great work six" some of the other initiates come in so we stop what we're doing.

"Welcome initiates to your first day of training and four is going to explain" I say trying not to sound too nice.

"The fist is physical. You push yourself to the breaking point. The second is mental again breaking point. You will face your first fears and conquer them, unless they get you first" he grins only a little.

"And as he said today is physical which means fighting" I tell them all.

"Today I'm demonstrating fighting with six" he still has a worried look on his face.

"He's going to crush her" on of the initiates whispers. I try to ignore it but Tobias is looking at me cause he heard it too.

We don't say anything and we walk on the mat. I know I've picked up a few things when I've seen Tobias fight. He doesn't give the advantage of taking a step before a punch instead he squares his shoulders and he always lets the other person take the first punch but I'm not going to. After a minute of me waiting to let him punch I see him square his shoulders. So I wait for the punch and grab his wrist to and punch him in the jaw so he can't stop it.

Eventually he gets his hand free and flips me on the ground. He ends up punching me in the mouth. Once he gets me on the ground and is getting ready to pin me I knee him in the stomach and then roll out from under him. I stand up and push him down and knock him out. But he grabs on to me and knocks me out before he goes out. It didn't hurt but I got a minor concussion. Now he's going to think he hurt me.

He's going to try to move out.
