Grace POV:
                          
"Okay guys! There are 2 days left until it gets down! We trainers decided to give you those days off. I just want to tell you some things before you can go and eat, or get inked or sleep or do whatever the fuck you want.
Im speaking on behalf of Max, Four, Tris, Eric and myself and i want you to take this seriously.
When these two days are over, i want you to focus on nothing other than your task. Because this is literally a life and death situation, we have. Look around you! What do you see?", i say standing on a few mats with the others behind me. I look at the initiates before us, looking anxious around. I point at the blond guy, Matt whom I've paralyzed at training once. "You, Matt was it? What do you see?", I ask. He gulps.
"U-um, m-my friends?", he answers. I smile.
"Yes. Exactly. Your friends. Look at them! Those people standing beside you, are not only your friends but also your comrades! You will fight together and you will win together! And you will come back as winners! ", i shout and my fist shoots up in the air. The initiates all holler in excitement.
"But...", i put one finger up," some of you wont make it that far. Some of you will maybe be shot, strangled, hit or stabbed to death in the process of fighting for the factions freedom. Some of you will die as heros. That means that some of you will lose their friends and we want you to know what risk you are taking here. The same goes for us trainers! You wont fight alone, no, we will lead you to victory! We must be prepared to lose, to sacrifice, so we can win. I, for example, am prepared for the situation that i could lose my friends, my loved ones at any time of the battle because even if you think we trainers are invincible we are certainly not, but we're close to be.", Max and Eric chuckle behind me,"what im trying to say is that every little mistake on the field, can cost you your life. So be prepared, be ready, be brave! When the faction system falls, everybody will be free at last, being divergent will not be a crime anymore, we wont be treated like test objects, no, we will be free and finally human again!", i shout and the initiates cheer.
"Okay, get lost have fun we'll meet here in two days at 3 a.m! Dont be late!", i say and the initiates scurry away, groaning.
"I was almost impressed.", Eric says behind me and pats my back. Four laughs: " When are you ever impressed?" Eric smirks still looking at me. "Never."
They all laugh and i scoff and shove him playfully.
Suddenly i hear clapping behind me. I turn around just to see the guy i was trying to avoid all day. Jack.
He hasnt changed at all still those piercing blue eyes and this disgusting smirk plastered on his face.
"Well i was impressed.", he says and shivers run down my spine, images of that night flood my brain. I shake them away and glare at him. "Thanks.", i spit, my words tasting like venom.
"And you are?", Max asks stepping forward now, eying him suspiciously.
"Oh yeah, im Jack. I trained those initiates with Grace until a few months ago, you know. Evelyn asked me to help you, said you'll need all the help you can get.", he says shaking Max's hand and smiling at the others.
"You and Grace were friends or what?", Eric asks and crosses his arms infront of him, his muscles flexing with every move he makes.
"We are close friends, right little asskicker?", he says and shoots me a sweet smile. My hands are shaking and my bottom lip trembles.
"If you call me that again, im gonna break every single bone in your fucking body.", i manage to hiss and before anybody can react i storm out of the training hall. Tears burn in my eyes and  i whimper trying to silence the sobs, raising up in my throat.
I hear heavy footsteps behind me but i start running and the footsteps soon fade away. I arrive at my room and open the door and slam it shut behind me, locking it. I sink down onto the cold floor and start shaking, silent tears streaming down my face.
After some time i hear loud knocking. "Grace! What happened? Who is that guy? Open the damn door now!", Eric growls while banging agains the door. I want to open him. But couldnt. I didnt want him to know. This never happened before and i wasnt sure how he was going to react. So i stayed at the floor, not moving an inch.
"Grace!", he shouts.
"Grace? Please open the door let us in and tell us what the hell that all was about!", Max now says.
"Please Grace.", Tris and Four add.
I close my eyes, suddenly feeling the pain from that night again. I gasp and clutch my stomach, where Jack had stabbed me, trying to calm myself. 
"Go away.", i choke out, tears streaming down my face.
"Grace, open up!", Eric shouts.
Suddenly i shoot up and slam my fist against the door.
"GO AWAY!!", i scream and slowly sink back onto the concrete floor, now sobbing uncontrollably.
My brain is flooded with images of that night, of my mother, of Jack and of my sister, practically everything that caused me pain. After a while i start to get dizzy and before i know whats happening, i pass out on the cold floor.
