Momma's Little Soldier

Chapter 10

Tom lead the three of us to the tattoo shop, but also along the way he showed us where the training area is so that will be really helpful tomorrow morning. Ugh, the thought of having to train that early in the morning is already making me tired and exhausted, these next few weeks will be complete hell. "I think I'm going to get this one!" Sonja held up a tattoo design to my face. It was a fox, but completely made of geometric shapes with no color, just solid black lines, "I love it, it is definitely you," I said to her and pointed to her wrist, "it would go perfectly here."

"That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't entirely sure. Thank you Sash." She smiled at me. "Can't you call me by my new name?" I asked her. "But it sounds too formal and I am not a formal type of gal."

"Ash, are you getting something?" Tom asked me from the other side of the dark but very lit-up shop. I walked over to him while scanning over everything, "I don't know, what do you suggest I get?" I asked the blue-haired man in front of me with a questioning smirk. "How about I pick something out for you?" Tom's smirk should've made me scared, but it actually made me more excited to see what he would pick out for me.

"Am I going to completely regret this decision?" My questioning tone went along with my arms folding over my chest. "Probably, but we are in Dauntless, right?" The man does have a point, but I won't hesitate to beat the shit out of him if he picks out something horrible for me. I sat down in a chair that Tom told me to sit in and I waited for him, I think he said that this is the person who did his tattoos and piercings, but I don't remember. I looked over to my left to see Tucker and Sonja sitting in chairs getting their tattoos done, from what it looked like Tucker was getting one on his shoulder while Sonja ended up getting her tattoo on her wrist. "Hi I'm Tasha, I'll be doing your tattoos today." I looked up at the lady and I gasped.

"Tasha?" I asked the woman. When her dark brown eyes looked at me, I could see the look of recognition in her eyes, "Sasha! I knew you would pick Dauntless," She looked at Tom, who was now standing next to me, "you know her?" Tom nodded his head with a smile before he looked at me confused. "You know Tash?" I nodded my head at him. "She managed my aptitude test." "So, let's do this shall we," she asked before handing me what looked like a backless bra and by the looks of it, it didn't have much coverage, "put this on while I get set up." I slowly took the bra and shot Tom a look of confusion, anger, along with daggers. All he did was send me a cheeky smile, I got up from the chair and went behind a wall to quickly take off my top and bra to replace it with this sad excuse of a bra. I held my chest as I went back over to the chair, Tom was sitting next to it on one side while Tasha was sitting on the other side.

When I sat down in the chair, Tasha leaned it back to tattoo wherever she was going to tattoo, "Just relax and trust me, these tattoos are going to look amazing."

"Hold up, there is more than one?" When I looked at Tom he was already giving me that cheeky smile again and I just groaned. Guess I am just going to have to lay here and wait. When I heard the sound of the tattoo gun start, I felt my hand grab Tom's like an instinct, but I am thankful that Tom didn't let go.

After many hours of laying in the chair, talking to Tom, Tucker, Jordan (who just showed up since he didn't want a tattoo), and Sonja, trying to get used to this form of pain, I was finally done. Tasha helped me up and lead me to a full body mirror so I could see what Tom picked out for me. My eyes instantly gravitated to the big tattoo right underneath my boobs, I couldn't explain what it looked like, but it almost mimicked a crown of some kind. It was beautiful actually and I am not complaining when I say that I love this, "Wow Tom, you have a great taste in tattoo design."

My complement made him smile then he grabbed my wrist to show me the other one, "It was too adorable to pass up!" It was a little bear playing with a butterfly. "Aww! It's so cute!" Sonja gasped out as she looked at it. "If the tattoos start to hurt put on this gel and it should take away some of the redness and pain. I suggest put it on before you train just in case." I was handed a small container that held the product. "Thank you, Tasha, you did such an amazing job."

She handed me my sports bra and tank top so I could change back into them before we could leave. After doing that, I thanked her one last time before we all walked out of the shop, heading back over to the dormitory. "Where do you think you guys are heading?" Eric's voice echoed off the stone walls, we all turned around to face him and I spoke up. "We are just going back to the dormitory."

"Dauntless born," He looked at Tom with a cold gaze, "your dorm is that way." He pointed to the left corridor and without saying anything, Tom just left us so he wouldn't get in trouble. "You guys need to rest, it's not going to be pretty if you guys are tired on the first day of training." Tucker, Sonja, and Jordan left without me. "That means you too sunshine, you've got a long day ahead of you for the next couple of weeks." I felt my blood boiling at his words and also at his smug smirk. Instead of saying something, which I wanted to, I turned on my heels and walked away, trying to save as much anger as I can for tomorrow when I kick his ass.
