"Oh my god Tris, where were you?" Christina asks as soon as I step foot in the cafeteria.

"We thought he murdered you," Al adds as he heels to my left side, Chris is to my right.

"I'm fine," I respond with a giggle in my tone.

Oh crap.

Giggle?

What is happening to me?

Love. That's what.

"Anyway, where were you?" Will questions.

"After calming down I walked around."

"Ya what happened to get you so triggered?" That's Chris, blunt and rude.

"Some things are better left forgotten," I ominously answer.

She nods but I can tell that she wants to know, like now.

"Looks like I'm not fighting today," I say to them entering the training room, my eyes meeting the board.

"Because you are only the second person in dauntless history, to put someone in the hospital so bad they cannot train the next day." Four explains as I walk past.

"But there is still an odd number," I argue.

"Never mind that," Chis cuts me off. "Who was the other person?"

"Me," Four responds smugly walking away.

------------ Welca Hummings --------

The fights passed in a blur, I can't even remember who beat who, but Edward sat out today.

Chris and I are now back at the dorms, all alone.

I know she's going to interrogate me.

"So why where you do upset yesterday?"

"Let's just say in the past someone hurt me emotionally. And I channeled that anger into the fight."

She nods and lets me play it out on

Old Rage.
