Chapter 9

"Tomorrow is the last day of stage 1, you will fight then." Steve says. "Everyone pick up 3 knives, and watch Four." 

He is beaming with joy, last night's win must have been his first. 

Tobias on the other hand looks horrible, not because of losing, he looks like he cried all night, instead of sleeping. 

Everyone grabs their knives, and watches Four. Everyone except me, I already know how. 

"So, this is a test of bravery that we always do, we see who is brave enough to stand in front of the target while I throw knives at them, and they can't flinch, so no one ever volunteers." Tobias says. 

I immediately walk up, "I will."  I say, standing in front of the target, same height. 

Tobias sneers. "Alright." He throws the first one, about 2 feet from my head. The next one, 1 foot from my left leg. The last one, again nicks my ear. I don't flinch. 

"God Stiff!" Uriah shouts. He looks like he say a ghost. I shrug. Tobias looks at me, eyes narrowed. I wipe off some blood from my ear. Kara looks mystified. 

"Alright! Lets get started!" Steve shouts. 

I throw all the knives, straight, center each time. Most people hit the target, some less than others. 

"Dismissed." Tobias yells, after 10 rounds.

The class leaves, but Tobias grabs my arms. 

"Who the hell are you? Stiffs don't just have that much bravery, no transfer has that much!" He whispers. "Who are you?" He asks. 

"Four... I can't" I manage to say. 

He shakes his head. 

"Four!" Zeke shouts.

 Tobias gives me a look and walks away.
