I woke up to find myself in what looked like a hospital bed. There was nobody about. I was the only one who was being looked after. I went to stand up but a sharp pain from my side stopped me. My hand immediately went to hold the wound. I wanted to get out of this place. I hated hospitals. My mum would always make me go to make sure I was fine and perfect. I looked at the time and realised I should be in training. This gave me the strength and determination to stand up. I slowly walked out of the infirmary being carful not to move too quickly. When I got to the training room i watched as all the trainers was in the ring showing defensive and fighting skills. I simply joined all the other initiates on the floor watching the performance. Luckily none of the instructors spotted me. However, Natalie did immediately.
"What are you doing here?" She whispered to me
"Learning how to fight" I simply said
"You should be in the infirmary, if Eric sees you he is going to go mad" she said looking at me with wide eyes
"Well he's already stabbed me, what more can he do" I said shrugging my shoulders
"OMG you don't know do you" she questioned me
"Know what?"
"There are three stages to our training. Throughout we will be constantly marked on our abilities. And at the end of every stage there is a red line. If you are below the red line you get cut. And made to live factionless" she explained to me. I remanded silent
This scared me a lot. I had no natural ability of fighting at all. Especially with this injury I will be lucky to make it.
"And Eric also said is he feels at any point that there is someone who is not following his rules and not trying hard enough. He will immediately cut them" she informed me
"I might as well leave now" I said while looking down
"Don't say that, you are incredible at shooting and throwing knives" she tried to reassure me
"But when it comes down to fighting. I am weak and small." I said
If I get cut my mum would have got what she wanted. I knew that she wanted me to fail in dauntless. She wanted to be right. I wasn't prepared to let that happen.
"You will be fine Sky, I believe you can do it" she said while giving me a hug. She must have forgot about my injury and accidentally hit my side. I winced in pain and held my side
"I am so sorry" she said while trying to comfort me
"It's ok" I managed to spit out. While deeply breathing trying to reduce the pain.
"What the hell are you doing here" I looked up upon my now tearing eyes to meet a pair of grey hurt eyes. Eric.
"Training" I managed to say through the pain
I watched as he bent down and put a hand on my shoulder
"What the matter? Are you hurt again" he asked me while staring deeply into my eyes
"It's my fault, I accidentally hit her injury" Natalie confessed
I watched as Eric looked up and gave Natalie a really angry look. He was not happy.
" I am going to take you back to the infirmary" he said as he began to get into position to pick me up
"No please I am fine" I said while trying to move out of his grasp
"You are in pain, and I hate seeing it" Eric said while giving me a compassionate and loving look. What!
