**LONG ASS CHAPTER!!!* *IMPORTANT a/n***
I woke up from my nap as something cold touched my face. While shooting upward I rubbed my face realizing it was just water. Noor looked at me in an apologizing way. Four was next to her laughing like an idiot. I glared at him.
"How is it always you who wakes me up in the morning?" I asked him almost laughing...almost.
"Well good morning to you too sunshine." He said sarcastically.
"Hi Noor!" I greeted her. She smiled at me.
"Hi!" She greeted. Four left us to talk. I was getting ready while the other dauntless born were sleeping.
"What are you doing up?" I asked her. It was like 6:00 in the morning.
"Well, in Candor I always wake up early. You could say it's my internal all alarm clock. Since I didn't see you at dinner last night I asked Four where you were. He said he would wake you up but I told him you should sleep. But he ignored me and did it anyway. Sorry about that by the way." She told me.
I laughed. "It's ok. I wish I had a internal alarm clock. Mine has been dead for 16 years" I told her. This girl is such a sweetheart.
"Must of been awkward being with your instructor." I said. She laughed.
"Oh yeah! I was literally shitting my pants. He's so intimidating yet has that cool mysterious vibe." She told me. I agreed. I slipped on a sports bra and some basketball shorts.
"Did you eat breakfast?" I asked her. She nodded. I quickly went to get an apple and we sat at the nearby tables. Not many dauntless where around. I wasn't surprised. Besides training, do you really expect us to get up?
As I was eating my apple when Noor suddenly broke the silence.
"Can I ask you a question?" She asked cautiously. I nodded since I was chewing on my good,
"Yesterday, a boy transferred out of dauntless. A lot of people where yelling at him. Do you know why?"
I almost choked on my apple. She was talking about Calum.
"Um...er..uh." I stuttered looking for words. Tears slightly formed near my eyes. I shook them away. Noor noticed my struggle and said,
"Oh! You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I shook my head. Suck it up Storm.
"Well...that guy? He was a Dauntless leader's son. He was really well know in dauntless, along with his twin sister. I don't think anyone has ever transferred out of Dauntless. " I told her.
"Were you and Luke close to him?" She asked. Empathy was in her eyes.
"I was his twin sister." I barely whispered. Her eyes widened in shock.
Realization suddenly hit her like train.
"Your a leader's daughter?!?" She asked amazed. I nodded. 'Wow' she muttered.
"So," I started to change the subject, "like anyone yet?" I asked smirking. She stared to blush and muttered a name under her breath. I could've sworn she said, 'maybe a certain dauntless born'. I wanted to mess with her so I said,
"A certain dauntless born? I'm flattered Noor but I don't flow that way-" I was cut off by her bursting into laughter. I laughed with her. People slowly started filling up the cafeteria. I checked my watch.
7:45
I looked around. Luke still wasn't here yet. I turned to Noor.
"I have to go wake up Luke. Training starts in like 15 minutes and knowing him it would take 14 minutes to get ready." I told her while rolling my eyes. She nodded and I took off.
I ran to the dauntless born quarters. While going I accidentally bumped into someone. I turned around. It was Lily. She was on the floor.
"Oh Lily I'm sorry!" I told her while helping her up.
"Are you ok?" I asked her. Her usual shiny flowing black hair now looked like it was drenched in oil. Hey usual bright eyes now looked dull and lifeless; she had bags underneath them too.
"Lilly. What's wrong?" I asked her quietly. She walked away. She muttered a 'I'm fine' underneath her breath that I barely heard. What's wrong with her? She's always bunching around the walls. Or making some funny joke. I realized it's been 7 years since her initiation. Her brother transferred to Dauntless with her but he didn't make it. He was actually in first place, but the competition between the transfers were so high that another initiate killed him right before Lily's eyes. Poor Lily's probably still pondering over it. She always blamed herself for his death. Talking about how she could've save him. Not matter what she wouldn't believe that it wasn't her fault. I snapped out of my thoughts and continued to jog towards the quarters. I checked my watch.
7:57
Sh¡t
We're going to be late. Finally, after taking a long ass jog I made it. The room was completely abandoned except for Luke who was taking his sweet time fixing his hair.
"THERE IS 3 MINUTES UNTIL TRAINING AND YOUR FIXING YOUR HAIR?!?" I shouted. He got startled. Once he processed what I said he dropped his comb and we both ran to the training room.
*During Training*
We were currently working on knife throwing. Michael let us play this game where we put a life sized dummy in the middle of the target. Whoever could get the knife closest to the dummy wins and does a dare while the person who threw the knife farthest from the dummy also has to do a dare.
I was currently winning. Once the final person threw the knife, Michael went to go see who one and who lost.
"Stormy! You won and Melissa lost." He declared. I cheered with Luke while Melissa started whining about how I 'cheated'. I rolled my eyes at her. She should of chosen Candor or something. I smirked at the thought, those poor people who have to hear her loud mouth.
Melissa turned to me and said.
"I dare you to save us the trouble and jump off the chasm." I didn't let the words get to me though. I've heard worse from my own father.
I thought for a while. A lightbulb suddenly went off in my head.
"I dare you to shave your head." I told her. All the girls gasped in shock. The guys smugly chuckled. "And" I continued, "you can't wear a wig to cover it up." I told her smugly. Payback b¡tch!!!
Michael smirked at her. "You can do it after we take a little field trip to the transfers training room. Then you guys are done for the day." We all cheered.
"LAST ONE THERE IS A ROTTEN PANSYCAKE!!" Luke shouted. I immediately sped towards their training center. Luke was night at my side. Everyone was either trying to knock each other off or tip someone or dodging people. Luke and I were in the front of the pack elbowing each other. As we got closer I noticed someone opening the doors of their training room.
"Wait up!" I called to them. Once the person realized it was for them he opened the double doors for us to come in.
When we got closer I realized that the person was Eric. I smiled at him and he smirked back. I could tell he was in his intimidating instructor mode once I stepped foot into the training center Luke and I yelled out,
"I won!!" We both looked at each other and stared to laugh.
Once the other initiates came panting is we screamed in their faces.
"PANSYCAKES!!"
Us dauntless born stared laughing like crazy. It's just our carefree attitude. Sure, we get competitive to the point where we kill each other but in the end we all just did it for the fun.
"Enough!" I cold voice shouted at us. Immediately we stopped. Eric was looking at us with an intense icy glare.
"Go take your seats dauntless born. Transfers, show them what you've learned so far." He said with a calm malicious voice. We took our seats. They couldn't be that bad.
After 5 minutes of watching them I'm starting to second guess my whole life. They were horrible. When they aimed they're positions were wrong. They put too much force. It's all wrong. The closest initiate to hit something was Willow and the Candor that flirted with me. I heard his name was Brock. Both Willow and Brock couldn't get there knifes to stick though.
I cringed at the sight of everyone throwing. Four came and sat next to me. I smiled at him. "Are you even teaching them anything?" I asked. He cracked a smile. He was doing the same intimidating instructor thingy as Eric.
Four and Eric are so similar yet so different. They both are very determined and clever people. Four is very caring but you have to break the walls he built. It didn't take me that long though. I still try to find out to this day. You have to break Eric's walls to get to know him. But once you remove one brick, you can't stop, that's how I fell in love with him.
I continued watching the initiates. I felt really bad for Noor. Each time she tried the knife kept bouncing off of the target. Eric walked over towards. She got slightly nervous. C'mon Noor. If she slips up in front of Eric then she has a death wish. She threw her last knife and it few past the target.
Nice knowing you Noor. You were a really good friend.
"What was that, initiate?" Eric asked. His tone was dead calm. The most dangerous of all tones. She held her head high.
"It slipped." She told him. She didn't show fear. But knowing Eric he would be determined to show that fear.
"Go get them." He told her quietly, barely above a whisper.
She held her ground. "No." She said simply. Me and a few other dauntless borns' who were listening gasped. She's got guts. Eric's face remained emotionless but his eyes showed cruelty. I shuddered. He had the look in his eyes Aron always had when he would beat us.
He turned to those who were practicing. "Stop!" He told them. All dauntless born were staring at him intently. I silently prayed for Noor's safety. Eric is not the person you want to mess with.
He turned back to Noor. "Stand in front of the target." He told her. She obediently did it. Noor looked at me with worry. I looked back. I was scared shitless for her.
"You will get knifes thrown at you. If you flinch your out." He told her. What the fück Eric?!? I couldn't believe he was doing this. She was a transfer! What did he expect? He was just like her when he transferred!
Before he threw the knife did what any dauntless would do. I acted before I thought.
"Stop!" The words came out of my mouth before I could bro was anything. "Anyone could do it. Why such an easy punishment?" I challenged him. Something flashed through his eyes before they went cold. Smugness? Why would he be proud of me? My heart warmed when the thought of him being proud of me.
He smirked at me. "Well if it's so easy then why don't you take her place?" That b¡tch! I kept my face emotionless and nodded. I switched places with Noor. She looks at me apologetically, I just shook my head. I hope she got the message that I was fine.
"Four" Eric called "take your position." He told him. I looked into Eric's eyes. I could tell he was pissed at my little act but I also saw proudness. As cheesy as it sounded, I was happy to make him proud.
I leaned against the target while waiting for Four. I smirked and winked at him. He copied the same action. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a female Candor transfer glare at me. Bella was her name? Ooo someone has a crush! I sang in my head.
Four pointed towards this forehead. I focused on the crease between his eyebrows. The first knife whizzed towards my left eye. I didn't even blink. I couldn't even look at it because my nose would've been cut off. The second one once again whizzed towards me. Since my hands were crossed behind my back, a triangular part of the board was exposed. He hit right in the center of the triangle. I didn't flinch.
"Is that all?" I taunted. Once again he threw the knife. It grazed my scalp line. I could feel the hairs land on my shoulder.
"Points for bravery." Eric said and smirked and winked at me. This caused that Teddy chick to glare at me. What? Is it glare at Stormy day?
"Training is over! Do whatever you want. Training starts at 08:00 hours tomorrow!" Four shouts. I waited for everyone to leave so I could hangout with Four. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Bella and Teddy mill around waiting for Four and Eric. I rolled my eyes and walked towards the two.
"How was today's training?" I asked Eric who was the closest to me. When he looked at me his eyes weren't cold as they always were.
"They're all, weak." He said in disgust. I narrowed my eyes at him. He glanced behind me and his face immediately turned cold. I turned around to see Teddy.
"May I help you?" He asked in a bored tone. I turned around to be met by Teddy and Bella. Bella stutters a bit but Teddy stands tall and arrogant and proud.
"Would you like to accompany me to the Truth or dare game their playing tomorrow?" Teddy asked Eric. I didn't like this one bit. Not because I like Eric. It's the way she said it. She bit her lip while twirling some of her blonde hair. I feel like that's offensive to blondes there usually either really stupid or Sluty.
"And why would I go with you, initiate?" He asked. His tone of voice sent shivers down my back. She walked up to him and whispered in his ear, "you'll want me one day." And she left with her little sidekick.
I stood infront of Eric and wiggled my fingers. "You'll want me one day." I told him in a squeaky tone. He laughed at my silliness.
"She seems like your type." I told him while wiggling my eyebrows. We started to head for the pit.
He wrapped his arms around my shoulder. "Maybe," he paused "but my heart belongs to someone else."
