A/N: sorry this is short. Thanks to the ppl that followed this story! ^.^ remember: review/follow = new chapter ;) The next day, me, Jacob and Taylor walk to the training room together. The first thing I see is a big board with names written on it. My name is next to Eric. I have no idea what that means, but it can't be good. Eric was big. At the start I didn't think he could pose a threat, after all he was just an erudite boy. But I was definitely proven wrong within the first day. He was the only one who shot as accurately as I could, and the only one who could punch the punching bag as hard as I could. Our names were third in the list. "Okay initiates, today you will be fighting other initiates." Amar says. Oh no. This can't be good. Of course they would pair me and Eric together. The first fight is Alex against Tori. I kind of feel bad for them, as they seem to be really good friends. Tori wins, but I think Alex lost purposely. The second fight is Nick, who I recognize as Eric's friend, against Jacob. To my dismay Nick wins. Jacob starts to stand up, but he then quickly falls back down. "Jacob!" I call, running out to get him, but Lucas gets there first. "I'm going to take Jacob to the hospital!" He yells, but not as loud as usual. I'm up next. I step into the fighting area. Eric cracks his knuckles. Of course. He's trying to intimidate me. But it's not gonna work. He throws a punch at me, which I dodge. But he was expecting that, and he throws another punch at me, this time hitting me in the jaw. I step back, and continue dodging everything he throws at me despite the constant pain in my jaw. He seems taken aback by my speed. His punches keep getting faster, but I can't move any faster then I'm going. I manage to dodge, but as soon as I dodge one he throws another. He keeps getting faster, to the point where I'm dodging them by about half a second, and I have to immediately dodge the next. I have to retaliate soon. In the background I see Amar shaking his head. Eric throws a punch at my stomach. I let him hit me, but immediately slide under him and knee him in the stomach. I punch him in the face, hard, and he's on the ground. I kick him. He grabs my leg, and I fall over. Just as quickly, were both on the ground, trying to kick each other. After a while of just kicking wherever, my legs hit somewhere (i can't see anything) and I here a large groan from Eric. I decide to stop. "That's enough!" Amar says, circling my name,"Tobias wins." I get up and look at Eric lying on the ground. I feel deep regret, staring at Eric motionless on the ground. I know I didn't kill him, and he was cruel to many of my friends, but what am I now? I'm just like my father. Hurting people for no reason. I hurt Eric just so I could get a good reputation. Was that really worth it?
