Chapter 21
Tris' POV
"Six and I have decided to give you the day off in three days, for what reason I shall not say. For the next three days we will be doing combat and fighting, building up your muscle and improving your fighting skills. "
"First, we will work on the punches, so everyone stand in front of a punching bag." I say and everyone finds a punching bag, standing in front of it.
"Study my stance. I will be showing you different punches and techniques. You will then work on the punches as we come around and help you. We will start with an uppercut."
~~~
"Oh my gosh, I haven't seen you in forever!" I say while grabbing Zajch from Uriah.
We're at lunch and they finally brought Zach to lunch for the first time in about a month.
"How are you doing bud?" I say in a baby voice and zach smiles, showing his two bottom teeth.
"Issss!" He somewhat says my name and I laugh.
"Good job!" I coo and bring my hand up for a high five, which he returns.
"Tris," Tobias says and I look at him,"Look who's here."
I turn my head to find Zeke holding Teigon, Shauna by his side with a smile on her face. I feel like this is what they would look like if they had a family, but with their own kid of course.
"Thank you guys, how was he?" I ask and Tobias grabs Teigon, feeding him small pieces of bread.
"He was great, obeyed whenever we told him to do something and was still his bubbly self. Although he would ask about you two every once in a while." I smile and look over at Teigon, gripping a little harder on Zach as he reaches for Teigon.
"He is a pretty good kid, isn't he."

The only sound in the room is the slapping of fist-on-leather and the heavy breathing of the initiates. The punching bags swinging, getting the occasional blood from a split knuckle caused by the impact of a punch. Tobias is on one side of the room, helping Keyan with his stance, and I'm on the other side helping Katelyn with he punch, telling her to put her body weight into the punch instead of only using her arm.I notice the to the left of her is Martin, punching hard at the punching bag, making it swing,and Lily to the right of her, correcting herself before every punch.
In the midst of this, the doors fly open in the back, causing them to slam into the walls.We all look in that direction and find a dauntless member with straight brown hair with a red streak in it, a frantic look on her face.
"Four, Tris, you guys need to see this."
She gave away my name, but it doesn't really matter at the moment as she seems pretty worried.
"What's wrong?" Tobias asks as we quickly walk over to her.
"Follow me." She says, dodging the question.
"I'll meet you over there, I'm taking the initiates over to Christina and Uriah." Tobias says and I nod.
"I brought someone to look after the initiates for the time being if you don't mind."She says quickly and I nod.
Another girl emerges from the doors, this time with dirty blonde, curly hair and a few visible tattoos. She walks in the direction of the initiates and we proceed to follow to the woman with the red streak.
The woman starts walking, leading the way to the unknown location. I can see the tip of a tattoo peeking out of her shirt sleeve. Her steps are fast, trying to get there as quick as possible. I have to take double the amount of steps to keep up with her long strides. The sound of hard footsteps comes from behind me and within seconds Tobias is next to me, taking long strides.
The woman turns into the control room and I can see Gus pacing the room and a few of his workers look slightly pale. Gus spots us and walks over, immediately leading us to a computer.
"This popped up while we were monitoring, just took over the computer. I have no idea who it is and how it happened." He says and when he moves out of the way, my eyes grow wide.

I'm extremely for skipping another week!I had a hard time writing this chapter in the beginning, but I figured out what I needed to do.I will try to get back to my normal schedule of updating, but again, this past month or two has been pretty stressful. Oh and btw, I'm at 99.3k on my first book to this series!
Now, I forgot to do this a while back, but I'm going to do shoutouts to all the people who helped me on the 'Part Title' from a while back. here they are: @_xrebelliouswriterx_ shastazz @alexia_sfs @alohagirl2000 @milliehungergames @ronald258 @kjsantos1
Now I know that most of these aren't actually tagging, but I know that you read my story, considering that you read my "Part Title". I want to thank you guys for being there for me when no one else really was except my mom. You literally made my cry, your comments helped that much. I was feeling really horrible and you made me feel cared for, you made me feel like people in this world actually like me for who I am no matter what. Even right now, I feel like I'm going to cry at some point just thinking about how much better you made me feel. So thank you.
But I have a few things to say. 1.I will be getting medicine for depression and I hope that it helps with my updating habits, as that did take a toll on my updating. 2.I just found out that I have a rare skin condition and it is very annoying as even itching is too much pressure, which causes my skin to swell wherever the pressure was.(even right now the laptop lines from writing are swelling on my wrists) 3.I love all of you so freaking much it's crazy!!!
QOTD:How many times have you read the divergent series?
A:I'm on my 5 time around.
