Chapter 5

I quietly opened the door, and peered in. Both Tobias and Tesa were on the couch. Tesa kept trying to put her hand on Tobias' leg. Every time she did, Tobias moved her hand away.

"Come on Four," I heard Tesa say. "You know you want me."

"Tesa," he said firmly. "I am happily married. You-" Whatever he was about to say was cut off by Tesa. She looked furious.

"You're married to that little skank?" she yelled. That's when I stepped in.

"Yeah, he is." I walked over to Tobias and kissed him, his hands moving to my hips. I didn't stop until Tesa stormed out of the room angrily. I pulled away, but Tobias pulled me right back in. it took us a couple minutes to finally break the kiss.

"I love you so much," he whispered.

"I love you too." I said back. I sat down and started thinking back to the first time he said I love you. I must have been in thought for a while, because when I looked at him, he was frowning.

"Are you mad?" he asked quietly.

"No," I said, puzzled. "Why would I be mad?"

"Well, I thought you might be mad that Tesa was in here. And maybe you thought that I would actually get with her or something like that." He admitted.

I replied as reassuringly as I could. "I'm not even close to mad. I knew she would be here." Tobias looked at me, confused. "Rachel told me." I explained. "She told me Tesa's whole plan on trying to get with you. And I don't think that you would ever do that to me on purpose." I smiled at him.

"What do you mean by 'on purpose'?" he questioned.

"Like, if you were under a simulation or if she came onto you or something like that." I said. We didn't say anything else for the rest of the night. We just went to bed and lay in each other's arms. It was a nice night.

The next morning, we taught the transfers how to throw knives. This was Jordan and Emily's specialty. Their first knives stuck to the target. They were hitting the center by their fourth throw. The other transfers were doing all right. Amber was having a little trouble, but after I showed her a better technique, she soon got the hang of it. Thankfully, nobody had knives thrown at their head this year.

After lunch, we went back to the training room. We set up punching bags, should them the basics, and turned the transfers loose. Tobias and I observed them closely, giving tips and advice as needed. As I was watching Dylan, I realized how strong he was. He isn't as bad as I thought he would be either. He was one of the hardest working initiates actually.

"Remember to use your left as well as your right," I told him. "It'll do you good to strengthen it." He nodded then turned his attention back to the bag.

Jessie was stronger than I thought she'd be for being so slim. She wasn't as strong as Tesa or Emily, but she was quick, and that helped make up for it. "Use your elbows and your knees." I advised. "Since you're not as strong as the others, you will need to use all you've got." Jessie stopped punching.

"Is that what you did?" she asked.

"Yes," I said. "I wasn't much of a fighter then, but this is the technique I used, and still use today."

She took my advice and started working on ways to attack with her elbows and knees. I just hope she doesn't have to fight Michael tomorrow. I know he won't try to fight her, and that will hurt him badly in the rankings.
