Waking the next morning I just want to stay in bed with the fading memory of my dream of sliding my hands over ink covered skin. Opening my eyes I realize it’s only six thirty. I turn onto my back and stare at the ceiling for a few minutes. Last night Christian said there was a chance that things could work out with Eric but I still need to be cautious. Just because he’s attractive doesn’t mean I should jump into anything with him.
I decide to get up and get ready for the day; deciding to go with shorts and a t-shirt for the day I throw on shoes and head down to The Pit to work out some before anyone else woke up. When I get there I start with some stretches before moving to the punching bags. Since no one was there I decide to put more strength into my punches. Trying to get rid of the frustration I lose track of time quickly as I work with the punching back moving from punches to kicks when I suddenly hear clapping. I turn quickly to see Eric behind me.
“For someone who was barely hitting the bag yesterday you seem to have gained a lot of muscles overnight”, he moved closer as he spoke. “That’s wrong though isn’t it? Why hide all that strength”?
I just looked down at the floor knowing I’m a really bad liar when I’m looking at someone, “We spent a lot of time climbing trees and running when we were younger”.
“That doesn’t tell me why you’re hiding it though does it”, he circles me slowly one hand trailing along my side to my lower back as he moves around me. “I have a close friend who works The Wall”, I inhale sharply as his hand trails along my stomach and he comes to a stop in front of me, “told me about two people from Amity that he helped train a few times. I have a feeling you and you’re boyfriend were those two people”.
My eyes widen slightly, “Christian’s not my boyfriend”, Eric smiles, “and I have no idea about the rest of the stuff you said”. I mumbled it though I can hear the slight tremble in my voice even as I say it.
He steps closer to me and whispers, “I think you’re lying to me”. He’s standing close enough that I have to tilt my head back slightly to look up at him. Looking into his eyes I’m not sure if I want to pull him closer or push him away from me. He decides to make the decision when he leans forward slowly; my hands automatically come up and I push against him just enough so he stops.
“This isn’t a good idea”, I move away and I have no idea where the strength suddenly came from.
“Ana, there you are. I was worried when I woke up and you just weren’t there”, I turn when I hear Christian. I was so happy he was here; I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have pushed Eric away a second time.
“I woke up early and thought I would get some extra work in”, I move towards him and I see his eyes shift to where Eric was standing.
“I’ll tell you later”, I mouth to him and he nods.
“You might want to go put some pants on we’ll be training on the roof this morning”, I hear Eric say from directly behind me.
I turn sharply, right into his arms. Surprised my hands grab onto his arms as I steady myself, “You really need to stop sneaking up on people or you need a collar with a bell so we can hear when you’re coming”.
He smirks and cocks his eyebrow, “You think I need a collar”?
My eyes widen and I can feel the heat filling my face, “N-no, I didn’t mean that”. I pull away from him and he lets me.
I practically run to Christian grabbing his hand and drag him out of The Pit behind me though I can hear Eric chuckling behind us.
Christian pulls me to a stop, “What was that”?
“I woke early and came down to get a real workout in before everyone got up. I didn’t even know he was there until he started clapping”, I turned toward him. “He started asking me how I was doing so well and why I was hiding my strength yesterday. He knows about our training Christian”.
“What? Why would you tell him that”, he asked.
I glared at him, “I didn’t. He told me he had a friend who worked the wall and helped train two Amity a few times last year”.
“Oh, well. Do you think anyone else knows”?
“I don’t know, I guess we’ll just wait and see”, we start to head back to the rooms.
“I thought we decided he was a bad idea”, he says after a minute of walking.
“I know that was the plan. I just don’t seem to think very clearly when he’s around”, I respond as we get to the room. I go ahead and change into pants and grab my jacket as well in case it’s really cold. Even though its early fall I know it’s getting cold out quickly.
We wait for the others before heading back to The Pit to meet with Amar. When we got there Eric is nowhere in sight which I guess could be a good thing.
“Today we’re gonna go up to the roof to practice so follow me”, with that he heads to the other side of the room and goes through a door which leads to a stairway that only goes up. By the time we reach the top my thighs are burning and everyone seems out of breath except Amar and Four. They move behind a table signaling us to line up in front of the table to see what Amar’s doing.
After showing us how to check the clip and turn the safety off. He then goes to a target and shows us the best was to stand to start and fires. He hits the center of the target on the first shot. Four hands out the guns and we all choose a target. My first few shots are off and I adjust my stance and view as I get used to the power in the shot. Once I’m more comfortable I do better though I still sight my aim off a little. Just in case no one else knew beside Eric I still couldn’t show how good I was.
When we finally took a break for lunch my hands were sore and I could barely hold my fork. I massage my hands some trying to get the feeling back into them.
“I really hope we do something else after lunch I’m not sure if my hands can take much more”, I whine to the others.
“I know exactly what you mean and my arms are throbbing as well”, Cayla says.
“I think I heard Amar and Four talking about moving onto fighting techniques”, Heath says as he takes a seat.
“I heard we got our points today so we should do some shopping tonight maybe get a tattoo done”, Cassidy tells us.
“That sounds like a good idea we could go after dinner”, I reply and Cayla agrees.
The rest of the day was spent on fighting techniques and how to block blows from our opponents. I teamed up with Christian and we worked well together working more on getting the movements right rather than actually trying to hit each other.
At the end of training for the day Amar stopped us before we left, “While we do usually train over the weekends we always let you have the first weekend of training off so you can have some time to learn your way around and meet some new people. So, since today is Friday you’ll get to relax for the next two days. Enjoy it because it’ll be the last one until you finish training”.
Everyone cheered when he finished. We rushed down to dinner to eat and get to shopping.
When we were almost done eating Christian elbowed me and when I looked at him he tilted his head toward another table. It took me a minute to realize what he wanted me to see. Maloki and Kristopher were two tables away. I almost jumped up to go greet them but stopped myself.
“Do you think we’ll get to see them at some point this weekend”, I asked softly.
“Well, the whole point of this weekend was to meet new people so it shouldn’t be that hard to meet up with them at some point”, he whispered back.
After dinner we head straight to the shops. Our first stop was one of the four clothing stores Dauntless has; two with just women’s clothes and two with men’s clothes. The guys had gone to the store for their own clothes. I walk around not really seeing anything I want at this store. I watch as Cayla tries on a number of outfits but decides to wait till we go through the other store before getting anything. When we leave Cassidy had spent most of her points and wanted to use the rest for a tattoo.
When we get to the other store Cayla immediately starts trying clothes on again while I walk around. That’s when I see it; it’s beautiful, it’s a deep black with thin straps and the top would be tight around my chest showing off my cleavage and the fabric would be sheer over my stomach, the bottom is short and would end just above my fingertips. It’s something I would have never worn in Amity and I want it. I take it from the rack and move to the dressing room as Cayla comes out in a dark red dress that flares and flows out from her hips.
“You should get that it looks amazing on you”, I tell her.
“Do you think so”, she asks while she looks in the mirror.
“Definitely get it. Do you mind if I try this on before you go back in”, I ask.
“Go for it”, she says still looking at her reflection.
I smile and shake my head as I go into the changing room. I hang the dress on the wall and quickly remove my clothes. I slide the dress over my head pulling it into place but I couldn’t zip it by myself.
I crack the door open, “Cayla, can you come help me zip this”?
“No problem”, she comes into the small room. “Please tell me you’re getting that cause wow”.
I laugh, “I was thinking about it. I just think I’ll also need a strapless bra to go with it and shoes before I could wear it anywhere”.
“We’ll find something to go with it. Now come on you have to see it for yourself”, with that she opens the door and pulls me out pushing me in front of the mirror.
My eyes widen as I look at myself. The dress moves with my body showing off my curves in all the right places. I can tell that I will need a bra with it but even now my chest looks good in it pushing against the fabric and a decent amount of cleavage. I keep it on as I move over to the shoes. I know I don’t want heels so I look at the flats and find a pair of simple black slide-ons that will go great with the dress. I also find a good strapless bra.
I go up to the cashier; a pretty brunette not much taller than me with very light blue eyes, “Can I get this dress and wear it out”?
She looks up at me, “That looks great on you. I’m surprised actually not a lot of people could pull it off and trust me many have tried”.
“Thanks, I guess. That was a compliment right”, I ask surprised.
She laughed, “It was. You’re one of the Transfers from Amity right”? I nod confused and she continues, “Everyone is talking about you three it’s been awhile since anyone transferred here from Amity. I’m Sherrie by the way”.
“Ana”, I tell her.
“As long as you pay for it you can wear it out but I would suggest a bra to go with it”, she says.
I set the bra I had already chosen and the shoes on the counter to be rung up.
“You’re actually in luck we just marked this dress down so it’s half off and you’re total will only be 20 points for everything. Which will leave you with 50 points for the rest of the month”, she lets me know.
“That’s great we’re actually on our way to get a tattoo now and I was worried I would use all of my points on the dress and have to wait”, I say.
“Ask for Liam as your artist and tell him I sent you he’s great”, with that she finishes ringing me up and lets me put my training clothes into a bag. I go back to the changing room to put the bra on which did make a difference and I took my socks off and slipped into the other shoes.
Cayla decided to get the dark red dress and some shoes. Once we’ve paid we head to the tattoo parlor to join the others. When we get to the shop I see Christian is already there so I walk up and tap him on the shoulder when he turns he just stares open mouthed.
“Do you like it”, I ask.
“Wow, I didn’t expect you to ever wear anything like that”, he said still staring.
“Is it bad”, I ask looking down. Everyone said it looked great but now I started to feel self-conscious.
“It looks great I just wasn’t expecting it. It’s great”, he says quick to assure me. “I saw Kristopher at the store and we’re gonna join them for breakfast tomorrow”, he says quietly going back to looking at the wall.
“That’s great, I know it’s only been a couple days but it was odd not having them around. Decide what you’re gonna get”, I ask him.
“Yeah I think I’m gonna go with the Dauntless flames on my side”, he says.
“That sounds great. I think I want to get the Dauntless flames as well but I want to get them coming up out of water. I wanted to be Dauntless but I want to remember where we came from”, I tell him.
We go to find an artist and since it’s busy it’s not easy to find someone open.
I see a woman standing beside a chair and we head over.
She sees us coming, “Ah, transfers who’s up first”, she asks.
“I will”, Christian says sitting in the chair and taking off his shirt.
“I’m Tori”, she tells us.
“I was actually looking for Liam”, I tell her. “Sherrie at the clothing store told me to ask for him”.
“Someone say my name”, a guy asked to the side.
I turn towards him and recognize him as the guy who was tattooing Eric, “Sherrie told me to ask for you”.
“I’m just about finished so I’ll take you next. What’s your name”, he asks.
“I’m Ana”, I respond deciding to watch Christian get his tattoo done while I wait. It was completely fascinating watching the color of his skin change.
“Are you ready”, Liam asks.
“Oh, I hadn’t realized you had finished”, I move over into his chair.
“What do you want to get done tonight”, he pulls out a sketch pad.
“I really want the Dauntless flames rising up out of water on my back”, I explain. He nods while he starts drawing. When he shows it to me I’m surprised at how real it looks he even added some flowers floating on the water.
“Instead of flowers do you think they could be lilly pads”, he looks at my with a question in his eyes, “my name was Lillyana”, I tell him softly. He just smiles and nods changing the picture.
“Do you want color or black and greys”, he asks once he’s finished the stencil and is setting it against my back.
“I think I would prefer it in black and grey”, I tell him.
He has me turn the chair sideways so he can get to my back while he sets up to begin. It’s not long before I tense from the slight pain and vibration of the needle running along the skin between my shoulder blades. It doesn’t hurt too much and I relax kind of enjoying the experience.
I close my eyes as the needle runs across my spine and when I open them I see Eric walk into the shop. He heads directly to the back of the shop, towards us. I know when he sees me because he just stops and stares; and I really wish I had more clothes on now. I can feel his eyes on my body almost as if he was actually touching me. I watch as his eyes slowly drift down my body and back up to my face. I close my eyes as Liam finishes the outline and moves onto shading and filling in the tattoo.
Suddenly I hear Eric’s voice beside us, “Do you have time to get me in once you’re done”, he asks Liam.
“Yeah I should be done in about thirty or so. You can take a seat if you want and wait”, Liam says while he continues to tattoo.
When I open my eyes Eric is sitting in front of me just watching. I just stare at him while he sits there. He’s wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt with black boots; like usual, but he also has on a black sleeveless vest with some pockets and silver clasps on it. He has a simple sliver bar going through his eyebrow and I also realize he has both ears pierced and slightly stretched with two black plugs in them. I notice he’s playing with his lip ring and I can’t look away. I wonder what it would feel like to kiss him with that. Would it be cold or warmed from his body heat?
I shake my head when I hear Tori announce that Christian is done.
“I want to see it”, I say before they cover it. Christian comes over and turns so I can see it. “It looks great”, I smile.
He looks over my shoulder, “Yours is looking amazing. How much longer will she be”, he asks Liam.
“Should be about ten more minutes”, Liam replies.
“I’ll find you when I’m done”, he nods and puts his shirt back on before turning and apparently noticing Eric for the first time.
Christian turned back to me, “Are you sure? I don’t mind waiting”.
“I think I’ll be fine for ten minutes and I’m not alone”, I see Eric smirking at Christian, “Liam’s here too”. Eric’s smirk changed fairly quickly. Christian nods and heads out to see how the others are doing.
“What are you planning to do this weekend”, Eric asks.
I look away, “Oh, I’m not sure yet. I’ll probably spend some time finding my way around”.
I turn my head down when I feel his hand on my knee and my eyes follow the line of the muscles in his arm up to his face, “If you need a guide I’ll be available to show you around”.
I blush, “Um, thanks but I think Christian and I can figure it out”.
I see his eyes harden a bit as he sits back removing his hand from my knee and we sit quietly until Liam announces he’s finished.
“There’s a mirror behind me you can check it out”, Liam says.
I go over and see the tattoo. It looks amazing the ripples in the water from the flames rising out of it look so real, “Thank you Liam, it looks better than I imagined”.
Liam writes my name down on his pad and the twenty points it cost for the tattoo. I have to sign the slip and when I go to leave Eric is already sitting in the chair I just vacated and has removed his shirt and has his legs stretched out so I can’t get by.
“Can I go past you”, I ask.
He moves his legs just enough for me get past him if I turn sideways. I start to slide past when suddenly he stands up and I’m pressed between him and a counter. One of my hands grips the counter while the other is pressed against his side just above his jeans. My eyes refocus on his chest and my breathing quickens as I look up at him. I can feel the heat from his body and my head spins for a moment. My hand tightens against his side until it passes.
“Can I see the tattoo”, he asks.
Not really able to speak I nod my head and he backs up so I can turn around. I feel his hand as he lightly traces around the tattoo not quite touching it.
“It’s a great tattoo”, he says as he leans down to look closer at it.
I hear Liam cough and I blush as I realize he probably saw everything.
“I have to go”, I push away from him and go to leave.
“Ana”, Liam calls out and I stop. “I still need to cover it”. I nod and he places the covering on it. “Here’s the lotion make sure you wash it tonight and then apply the lotion a couple times a day to help it heal”. He hands me the lotion but without letting go and whispers, “He’s one of my good friends so be careful we would rather not see him hurt again”.
“Again”, I ask but he just shakes his head and walks back to his station. I watch as they talk quietly but Eric doesn’t look happy. When his eyes turn back to me they lose a bit of anger and he sighs but I quickly turn around to find the others.
Once I find them I show them my tattoo and get to see theirs. Heath got a ring of flames around the Candor symbol and Kyle got a band of flames around his upper arm. Cassidy got two butterflies on her collar bone to represent her parents she had left and Cayla got an Erudite symbol partially burned and still on fire done on her shoulder blade.
We decide after that to go get some sleep since we don’t want to switch up our sleeping schedules just because we have the weekend off. When we get back to the room I join Christian sitting on his bed and I tell him what Liam had told me when he gave me the lotion.
“That’s good then, his friends will actually know if the rumors are true. You could go back and talk to him and tell him you’re scared of being hurt and you were confused by what he told you because of what you have already heard. We can also talk to Kristopher and Maloki tomorrow about it”.
“That’s a great idea”, I tell him and we decide to grab a shower and he helps me put the lotion on my tattoo before we go to sleep.
