Chap:5 Fights

                                                              Sam's POV

After the little 'knife' accident everything has been a little crazy. Harry keeps looking at me during practice. Four has confessed to me he likes Tris, and I am slowly climbing higher on the board. I have been working hard trying to get above the red line. Eric has us doing fights today.

"First up, Peter and Tris!" Eric shouts. Everyone freezes. Ever since the little knife ordeal Eric hasn't been happy with me or Tris. I guess this is his way of paying us back. Everyone watches as Peter and Tris walk up onto the 'arena'

"Go Tris!" I shout.

Four whispers somthing to her and she nods.

The fight is brutal, Tris almost gets an edge on Peter, but then he trips her and all is lost. Four walks outside, unable to watch. Then Peter kicks her in the head and she is knocked unconcious. Four walks back in and carries her to the infirmory.

"Well then....who do you want to face next Peter?" Eric asks smiling.

"I'll take the other girl stiff" Peter says pointing to me. Liam and the rest of the guys give me encouraging looks as I trudge up the steps and into the arena. Harry locks eyes with me for a moment, slightly nodding.

I take my stance and the fight begins.

I dodge Peter's attacks and hit him in the throat. He bends down and I put him in a head lock and use my knee to hit him a couple of times. He punches me in the gut but i keep my hold on him. I deliver a punch on the back of his neck and kick him in the gut before he tosses me aside like a rag doll. I quickly get up and trip him with my legs. He falls on the ground and I give him a kick in the head and he is in a daze. I've won.

"That's for Tris" I hiss and walk out of the arena. Eric gives me an ugly smile and calls on Four who has returned to help him with Peter.

"That was amazing...How did you do that?" Louis asks as him and the other surround me.

"I..I don't know it just kinda...happened" I mumble.

"Well it was brilliant" Niall tells me smiling. I smile back.

"That must of gotten you past the line" Zayn says playing with his tumbs.

"Of course it did" Liam says smiling. Niall looks over my shoulder and his eyes go wide. I give him an odd look and turn around, only to be met with Harry's gaze.

"You did a good job today, in the ring" Harry says smirking.

"Yeah, I didn't know I had it in me..." I mumble looking at the ground, then back into his eyes.

"Of course you had it in you, I knew you did" He says whispering the last part. My breathing becomes a bit harder as his hands move to my shirt, pulling it over and down a little.

"Blue birds?" He asks tracing his finger over the image.

"Yeah..."

"You know they typically mean Love, and Happiness....who are they for?" He asks letting go of my shirt, moving it back.

"The one I love" I whisper, some what lie.

"Anyways, congrats on your victory" He whispers and walks away.

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding as the others surround me.

"What just happened....I mean Harry looked some what....into you" Louis said smiling. I blushed.

"No, he isn't Lou, come on, lets go to dinner" I tell them and walk down to dinner.

-------------------------------

"Scarlet.....it's for your own good" He says streching his belt.
"No, no please!" I beg through my tears.
"I'm only trying to help you.....to be better"  He whispers and begins to beat me with his belt.
"Stop!" I scream, feeling the sting of the leather belt.

"Initiate!"

I quickly sit up in bed and see Eric hovering over me.

"If you can't get over your nightmares, don't even bother with Dauntless any longer you hear?" He says. I nod.

"Eric I'll..."

"No!" Eric shouts cutting of Four. "Harry will deal with her this time, Harry! take care of this one" Eric says guesturing towards me.

Harry nods and walks over to me, lifting me up bridal style. I give Four an ' i'm sorry' look as i'm taken out of the chamber and into the appartment complex. A door opens and inside there is a queen sized bed, a small kitchen, and a couple of lockers all cramed together in a room.

"This is your's?" I question.

"Yeah, its not much, but its home" Harry says. I nod slowly as he carrys me over to his bed.

"You'll be staying with me until you can get rid of your nightmares." Harry says setting me down. I nod and tuck my knees in.

"Come on, you need sleep for tomorrow..." Harry whispers walking to the other side of the bed.

I nod and crawl under the covers. I watch intently as Harry removes his shirt and jeans, leaving him in only tight fitting boxers. I roll over and face the door, looking out the small window at the city. And I think to myself, somewhere in that terrible city lives a horrible man who had a son who he lost....and a daughter, which he never had to begin with.

"Hey are you alright?" Harry asks. I blink and relise i've been crying. I nod and wipe away my tears and turn over. I look into Harry's comforting green eyes.

"I know it can be hard in the beginning, being here, alone, with out much from home. Nightmares happen, but don't worry, i'm here to help you through them" He says smiling.

I giggle and roll back over and stare out the window. I feel arms wrap around my waist and a kiss placed on my forehead.

"Try to sleep, and don't worry...i'm right here" He whispers.

I close my eyes and for the first time in a very very long time....i sleep with out any trouble.
