Divergent 103-203

The next day Tris has to fight Peter, and loses badly. Later on in the day, Four takes them to the fence that surrounds Chicago. The Dauntless protect the city by guarding this fence. While at the fence, Robert, an Abnegation that transferred to Amity, sees Tris and talks to her about how things are going. The conversation didn't last long as Four broke them up. On the next day, the transfers get to partake in a Dauntless tradition. They get to play a game of capture the flag using paintball guns. Four and Eric choose their teams and they all head out by train. They split up once they get to the spot. Tris is on Four's team. They head to an old amusement park and hide the flag on a merry-go-round. Tris and Four climb the Ferris wheel to get a better look at the area and find the other team. While they are climbing down a bar falls from underneath Tris and she is dangling high above the ground. Four hurries down and turns on the wheel so she reaches the ground safely. After that, they all go out and attack the other team and come out victorious. On the next morning, they get to practice throwing knives. It takes awhile for anyone to hit the targets. Al, a transfer from Erudite, is the last one to not hit a target. While Eric talks to him, he chucks a knife out of anger. Eric tells him to go pick it up but he refuses. This makes Eric very angry. He tells Al to stand in front of the target and not flinch while Four throws knives at him. Before a knife is thrown, Tris objects. She says that they are bullying them and that is cowardice of Eric. Now he makes Tris stand in front of the target. Four throws two knives, the last one an inch from her head. On the final knife, Four nicks Tris's ear. On the next morning, fighting starts again. Tris has to fight Molly, who she hates. During the fight, Tris finds Molly's weaknesses and takes her down. She wins the fight fairly easy, considering she was the underdog. They get the rest of the day off because tomorrow is Visiting Day, a day where a transfer's parents can come to visit them if they want. Surprisingly, Tris's mother comes to see her. After talking for awhile with some of the other transfers and their parents, her mom takes her into an empty hallway. She asks Tris about the initiation process and how she is ranked. Tris finally found out at this time that her mother was a Dauntless that transferred to Abnegation. Her mom also tells her to never say that she is Divergent and to visit Caleb after initiation to tell him to research the simulation serum. After everyone's parents are gone, the transfers head back to the dormitory to see their rankings. Out of the ten transfers, she is ranked sixth. Only the bottom four get kicked out. This also includes the Dauntless-born initiates. They will find out who will become factionless later.
